  1. He does. That doesn't mean that under his influence U2 turn into Hip Hop artists. Eno does ambient stuff - did U2 do an ambient album?
    Getting someone from the hip hop camp into the boat could mean anything. From new approaches in songwriting to using samples like Coldplay did on X&Y, etc.
    But it certainly doesn't mean that you'll see bling bling, girls and cars in the next video.

    Any artist who uses samples instantly goes up 25 points on my shit list.

    I hope not, I wouldnt want U2 to go near anythin like Coldplay
    I cant quite see that no, but I still think theirs no need to bring in any from the hip hop camp
    Thats why I listen to rock, let the pieces of rock that is still left be where it is
    Hip Hop is taking up such enough space as it is, without it goin into the rock scene
    I do see your point as well, but this is just my personal view on it


  4. technically U2 has used sampling before on Pop and Zooropa.....but i get what you're saying. and I think Yeah is right on this one, no real cause for concern until we actually know what is up, but im not too worried about getting a U2 hip hop album
  5. Originally posted by thefly07:i think if he's working on remixes, which is my guess...it's not a big deal....i highly doubt they're bringing in new people to really work on songs at this stage in the game


    I agree with you. I'll wait to hear the new songs to judge if it really is "dope as shit." Which I'd love to hear come out of the mouth of Brian Eno.

    But it certainly doesn't mean that you'll see bling bling, girls and cars in the next video.


    I'd pay a large sum of money to see this once. Only once.
  6. Ill stick to my opinion, even if im gonna end up bein the only one on this forum! lol
  7. Afterall, it's U2. They wont turn to hip-hop..come on. Looking at music from a different perspective is just good.

    I could see Bono wanting to tap into the hip hop scene. No idea why but just for some reason

    Im not saying U2 will turn into hip hop, Im just doubtful Will I am would produce a good tune for them or whatever
    Even to say, that Im not worried cause it might not even be true, it might be true
    And if so, we dont know what his doin in it would be
    But I gladly will be proven wrong, if thats the case
    It seems I turned into miss not so popular after sayin that on here lol
    Maybe Im just very conservative haha
    I dont really think its about being right or wrong either
    People want different things

    I just expressed my opinion mate. No harm to you.

    Maybe Bono will do some solo-hiphop-stuff sometime...rapping with Snoop (Snoop once said he would love to work with Bono), mixing with Wil.I.Am...one thing, I won't buy it.

    Oh thats ok, I wasnt aiming at anyone either lol
    Make that two
    However I can also see a bit of what Gerard were saying, but Bono is not the entire U2
    And they make their decisions together
