Now I don't mean what you think is the greatest album of all time, because I personally think that is Michael Jackson - Thriller, but I don't really listen to that. I mean what is an album you listen to like once a week that you have had for years but you just love. Mine would probably be Stone Temple Pilots - Core, though Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire is on the same level to me.

I don't care what's trendy...I don't care what other people listen to..or what they think. I listen to what I want to listen to. I listen to rap, rock, metal, pop..and even country...that's the way it should be...because no matter what genre it is, it's all art. And the people that make the music have more talent than me..and probably more talent than anyone that's gonna read this...that's why they have albums...and fans....and record labels....

The same reason white ppl listen to rap, to fit in.

Racist much? Did it ever occur to you that perhaps "white ppl" listen to rap because they enjoy listening to it?

No Racism, No Threatening, No Victimization or otherwise Hateful posts

Oh well...

It's just sad to see someone make such a blanket statement about an entire race that isn't even true. Yes, I'm white. Yes, I listen to rap. No, I don't do it to fit in. I prefer rap over rock/metal/etc. How is that trying to "fit" in? Around here rock is what's most popular anyway.

But to each his own I suppose

Quick question to the rap lovers.. what's your fav albums?

Personally the ONLY rappers I have the least bit of respect for are Tupac and Nas.. out side of that they all are absolutely horrendous and produce totally meaningless songs just to make money off of stupid people who like to fit in...regardless of race.

Guess I'm in the minority here. If it's well done, then i listen to it and respect it, regardless of which genre it is. I love rock, some rap i love, I breathe jazz. If it's art, it's art.

LuZZo, to your question,

All-time favorite Rap Album: Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back

Creeping up on PE is: The RZA - Bobby Digital

My problem with Rap is my problem with Rock. The best stuff isn't played on the radio. Commercial Rap and Commerial Rock is mass produced feces.

And Rock artists don't produce totally meaningless songs just to make money off of stupid people who like to fit in...reguardless of race?

You obviously missed the point in my former post. It had less to do with race than to do with fitting in. Who's to say people listen to one genre of music over another because they want to fit in? And therefore, if one would listen to rap over rock to fit in, whos to say they wont listen to rock over rap to fit in? Or Punk, or Techno, or Pop?

Maybe you dislike certain types of music, but that doesn't give you the liberty to singlehandedly diss every single person who listens to it by stereotyping them into an unfair and unrealistic stereotype that you think is true but don't bother actually checking out.

I know someone who listens to Punk who is a stupid, whiny, loser. Do I go around saying everyone who listens to Punk is just whiny? or a loser? or stupid? No...I don't. Because it isn't true, and I know it. I don't just automatically make the assumption.

Just because you stick your hand in a bag of candy and pull out a tootsie roll [which you happen to hate] doesn't mean that the next time you stick your hand in that same candy bag you wont come out with a lollipop [that you love]

Make sense? Don't classify the whole bag by one piece of candy.

kbs, i had to read that, and now i have a headache :dead:

not saying that rap is total garbage or anything :ponder: , but we people that hate it have to deal with it everywhere we go. we hear people listening to it on the street, it is all over the radio, and Mtv is all Rap, R&B , and POP. MTv and that little **** Carson and his stupid show TRL, all they do is play pop and rap.

i personaly like Metallica, and now i am really stuck because once i listen to all of their cds i don't know where to go, what other artists to look for, because all they play is crap i don't like.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat. These two titles are up for grabs until next Thursday, but if they are not up to your taste, you can always check out the latest Weekend PC Game Deal issue, which is usually full of discounts and specials that let you save a lot of money on new games.
