  1. No, I like the song just not this version. It could be the quality of the video, but it just sounds pretty bad.
  3. What's the big problem with Jay-Z here?

  4. For me,it wasnt the bad quality of the video..it was the person in it...my opinion of course....

    The guys in PJ are my age (40s),and it just seems kinda silly to be jumping up and down to such a juvenile song..I guess PJ are trying to seem "cool" to a younger crowd maybe ?..again,just my opinion here....

    If you guys like it...thats cool..but I think I will side with Noel Gallagher on his opinion of Jay Z....
  6. I respect your PJ fan-dom infinitely, but I don't think you could be more wrong about this.

    The reason Pearl Jam are even at that festival is because Jay-Z curated it and is a big Pearl Jam fan...he picked them to be the only other headliner at the fest. Also, PJ is no stranger to hip hop collaborations...Cypress Hill collab anyone?

    They're just having a good time. And who cares if the song is juvenile or not...personally I don't even really think it is, just because he's a rapper and that particular song is pretty cliche in terms of content for a rap song doesn't mean that its a stupid song. The entire basis for the song is racial profiling.

    "99 problems, and "a bitch" aint one"....he's actually talking down to the other rap artists who sit there and rap about their bitches and hos, and how they're gonna get laid all night and drink their Bacardi etc....he's saying I've got SO many problems- we ALL do- but "a bitch" aint one. Really think the context of that line needs the quotes...he's not calling women bitches, he's calling out others for doing that while highlighting the real problems.

  7. U2 and Green Day was a good collaboration, two very different bands colliding and bringing up a unique sound and a nice song. I'm no Green Day fan but I reckon U2 have done far worse things than teaming up with them

    IMO,a much better collaboration would have been with PJ,not Greenday.I cant stand them.

    Im sure you are correct.I had no idea Jay Z was a fan of PJ.Jay Z comes off like a good guy,not some skid rapper like say,Snoop Dog 50 cent,or that white trash pig Eminem.

    As far as Jay Z audience,that is a different story,at least from what I have heard.A friend of mine actually went to see Jay Z when he played Yankee Stadium a while back.He said it was a nightmare,and the crowd was filled with punks of all races.
  10. As far as PJ,they should get their asses in the studio,and stop with these silly 2 week mini tours.I mean,whats the point really ?

    Like Damon Albarn said, in this months Q when he was asked about Blur, "your not band, if you only get together a couple of times a year,when schedules allow"....or something along those lines.....and I totally agree...
  11. I am by no means a huge rap fan, though I have been listening to some recently. I thought the collaboration was pretty cool. As far as Jay-Z goes, I have to admit The Blueprint is a great album, one of the best from the 2000s, regardless of genre. The Black Album isn't bad either.

    So U2 also isn't a band then?

    Remember Eddie has also his US solo tour coming up (after also European dates) and I think these festival commitments were made way in advance, and gives the US crowd some shows after their European tour in 2012. Believe they're also working in a new album, which probably is released earlier then a new U2 album
