    If you don't understand why U2 does collaborations, then you don't understand U2.
  2. And if it reminds you of POP. Then you don't understand POP.
  3. I think its more the grove of the bass and drum as well as Bono's kinda smooth vocal style that reminds people of POP. Its almost lazy kinda like Velvet Dress or Playboy Mansion. The grove reminds me a bit of Million Dollar Hotel

    While I don't really enjoy hip hip as a genre, I wouldn't call it crap. People have different tastes in music. Many people also say U2 are crap, but we don't - its all subjective.
  5. U2 has made some nice songs post-2000.
  6. What I don't really get that theres this much talk about bono singing about 20sec on a album from another artist....

    Btw rap isn't exactly my cup of thea either but this album is pretty good imo.

    Yes, and mostly these are people who are listening to artists like Kendrick Lamar.

    The whole band is involved in this song.
  9. I don't. I actually don't like hip hop at all. I still enjoy the groove of Larry and Adam in the second half, but I don't like the first part of the song all that much.

    Thing is I just say why not? They are free to collaborate with whoever they want. If they can appreciate all genres then power to them, or maybe it is commercially driven we don't know. I say good on them that they made it work.
  10. Seems to be going down a storm elsewhere. Admittedly, not my cup of tea either and as far as U2 go, there's very little evidence that they're even in the track. But, I have seen a lot of praise for the track so it's done U2 no harm.
  11. I don't understand the blind hate. Hip hop is poetry. You need to understand where it stems from. Inner cities, suppression, angst, anger. Listen to the WORDS. Hip hop is about WORDS.
  12. To each their own, but please don't be ignorant and call an entire genre of art and music "crap" or "terrible." There are bad artists and songs like on every genre of music.
