Kanye West

I know a little though it isn't an academic persuit of mine. Rock and metal did originally have it's roots in blues as well as bluegrass, country and whatnot.

As for my above comment, it's been taken out of context, I typed it in reference to the typical chav who doesn't know who Churchill or Shakespeare were. Though obviously Glasto goers are nothing like this, you can't really deny that a lot of people who like the genre are somewhat near this stereotype to an extent anyway.

Or in fact if you like Amon Amarth, you don't know much about music full stop. It's not even good metal ffs.

Kanye is an awful man, rap or no rap.

He is a c**t.

[robith]

Rap music is an eyesore for ones ears so Kanye would get an amusing fail image too.

[tylerdurden]

your not much of an occultist to declare it on an internet forum are you.

how annoying.

you like heavy metal and final fantasy and know some bubblegum run of the mill facts about some of the plastic watered down "magic" and "mythology" these bands and games claim to be entrenched in.

shut up.

thats my sweeping statement for the day

yet recent research has shown that Oasis fans are the ones that are thick as pigshit.

(Oasis fans, don't blame me for that - it's what the research said).

[sifi]

Also, metal? In a Glasto forum. Surely you can be banned for that?

It's not good metal. Well, I didn't rate it when I watched them anyhow.

You're still making the claim the reason rap music is so popular within the social demographic you mention is because they don't know their history. How the hell did you draw that conclusion??

Its Swedish viking death metal, what is says on the tin etc, not as cool as Sepultura or even Slayer. Nowhere near actually. But has its place. Ive seen a lot worse. Nightwish for example. f**king crap.

[russycarps]

Comparing Kanye to Akon is like comparing the Descendents to Busted

[The Nal]

I can honestly say ive never heard of this genre, so i had a look on you tube, and well apparently there you go, learn something new everyday, what differenciates all the various types, of death metal?

[Ed209]

Oh get a grip man, he doesnt like rap music, its allowed you know, it doesnt mean he's bereft of some kind of inner karma bollox.

[sifi]

Express Yourself.

Whether or not you like hip-hop or Kanye West as a person, you've got to agree he would be a very good booking as an other stage headliner.

He has many crowd pleasing hits and probably puts on a very good visual show. Plus he is a huge international star and gives some variety to the (probable) 5 rock acts headlining the pyramid and other stages.

[Pauljoanss]

For me, Rap sounds like nursury rhymes with an added beat and some suspect language.

The defenders of Rap often talk about meaningful lyrics (if you can decipher them), ok that may be true in a few cases, but that still does not excuse the nursury rhyme "sing song" style of delivery. What about meaningful lyrics with a good tune as well as a good beat.

Oh yes, and why do rappers like to call themselves funny names, can any one explain, it all seems very childish.

Have I gone too far.

Looking forward to Neil Young, now there are some good lyrics "When the aimless blade of science, slashed the pearly gates"
