    Don't think its fair to say that.

    The whole rap scene leaves me puzzled, like why was Jay Z wearing dark shaded glasses at night.

    Where is the dignity in it all? It's so aggressive and juvenile.


    why does Bono always wear shaded glasses? .....



  2. Allergy I think. At least their shaded and not making the night darker. They need to set up a tower to host a spotlight that Jay Z can follow a line and not fall over wiring.

    Maybe its just me. Maybe I'll never be "home with the downies" (Dylan again)

    What I'm wondering about is that U2 celebrate the 20th anniversary of the coming down of the Berlin Wall by having a large wall erected. Why? "To keep out people without tickets". How much did the tickets cost? "Nothing but that's not the point."

    Man, the hiphop scene is so different than the rock scene. I know about Jay Z's history and where he came from. Much respect for someone like him who came from nowhere and worked himself to the top of the music business. Besides that I don't really like rap music anyway but he is much much better than idiots like Eminem, 50 cent etc and then I dont only mean the music.


    I know that most of them do come from an incredibly poor background. At the end of the day though most of the talent comes from talking really, really fast.

    Since when has that abhorrent behaviour ever been a good thing?

    They don't even have to have decent lyrics because nobody can understand most of the stuff they're saying anyway. So gibberish being spoken at a really fast pace - sounds like people from Cork.

    And when's the last time anyone said they liked Corkonians? Doesn't happen.

    The only difference is that people from Cork can't wear shades because they'd look disabled. Roy Keane out walking his labrador with shades on - people would think he was blind and start helping him cross the road.

    Rap is so angry sounding but they all wear shades. How does that make sense? The whole point of being angry is the eyes. So that you can glare at the ****er and let them know those three simple and magical words: I Hate You.
  4. should we talk about the berlin gig?
    are there mp3s on the roll or should I do it?

    You should seriously stop talking about stuff you obviously don't know shit about.


  6. Somebody buy this charmer a sense of humour.

    Well...it made sense when Bono did, why wouldnt it make sense when Jay-Z does it?


  8. Nothing against you pal, but the same thing written differently in 10 posts isn't funny to me. It's just plain boring.

    Again, it wasn't a wall. It was a see-through fence. And it wasn't anywhere near the hight some media wants us to believe. And it was torn down, all the barricades were opened when the show started. And MTV decided to put it up to keep people from uncontrollably swarming the area. Not U2. It's no big thing in the German news, but other people seem to worry so much for the poor Berlin people. My friend was crushed and squeezed so badly at the show because of all the people coming into the place when the gates were opened. Don't tell me you don't need any security measures with an event like that.

  10. Okay fellas, keep the rap where it belongs (open a General Rap Topic if you like, we have dozens of Generals already) and let's keep it on Berlin and the gig from last week.
