There is a thin line between this place and the Cave. I think we've almost crossed it.
Where you got it wrong is that you're drawing the line at kanye. White bros got into rap a good 25 years ago. Even before that. And there was a lot of non-violent rap before the late 80s/early 90s when it went all gangsta's paradise. Kanye didn't convert white people. They were buying Snoop, Dre, Cypress Hill, Wu Tang, all that shit way before kanye was even out of diapers.
you know who really captured the white guy's heart? Eminem. He got the leftovers converted.
Aerosmith - Walk this way...
I've never listened to Beyoncé but it sounds like her album was very big and influential in some way that I don't understand....
I know, beyonce and michael jackson have never won anything.
jackson's dead you toolshed!!
You know what's funny? Maybe funny, funny to me. But anyway, that song introduced me to Aerosmith, not Run DMC. I think I was like 13 maybe? I was deep into punk rock and had no idea who Aerosmith was.
All good points. Not sure any of that is taken into consideration for a best album award though? Maybe it is, and maybe that's partly why beck won?
I love Beck, he's one of my favorites. I just don't think this album of his is all that great.
He actually said he agreed with Kanye after the fact. He said he was just so excited to have him up on stage and he loves him.
