  1. OH YOU

    But honestly speaking, the track has a very traditional vibe to it, resorting to smoother, more jazz like sounds as opposed to modern hip hop that sounds very synthetic and sampled. Bono is used very well here because they don't make him rap and allow him to actually sing. On that note, his voice sounds really good

    While not what I would normally listen to, I've come to really appreciate traditional rap and hip hop because it comes off as really really smooth. Also, this song would have fit right in on Luke Cage.
  3. I've listened for the second time (only the U2 part thanks ) and I still think it's useless and doesn't fit, but at least I didn't vomit this time. My keyobard just thanked me.

  7. Originally posted by Release3:Jesus lol it's 2 mins of Edge, Larry, and Adam basically playing jazz while Bono sings a couple verses only twice. It's not like Bono was rapping while edge was scratching records. It's a young artists who is politically and spiritually driven that writes poetry from his point of view (hmmmm sounds familiar). Yes it's rap. No U2 aren't rappers. Yes Kendrick Lamar and U2 have respect for each other. Yes they were featured on an album with heavy political and spiritual bases. No they're not selling out. They love all music, especially music that says something. Take Public Enemy back in 1992. U2 had them open for them because they were politically charged. Stadiums were afraid to boom them because of "threats of riots, violence, etc" so U2 said, "hey we're playing stadiums and we like what you have to say. Play with us" it's just all about appreciating art in all it's forms and supporting those arts and not staying complacent.


    +1 spot on.
  9. Just to clarify, when people outside of the U2 fanbase say good things about U2, that's a good thing.
