Dominic Blogg (Rap)

So I think I found out what I like about rap; rather, old gangsta' rap which to me is considered to be UGK, Scarface,   Kendrick Lamar?.. hell no!, B.I.G. and even Dr. Dre. What I like about gangsta rap is that no matter what these guys say, or how they say it will ever make them any less of who they are or what they are trying to represent (which may depend on which artist your listening to) They could say the weirdest or most straightforward thing  they  want to say, and it wouldnt change  no matter what they go through or what people say about these heros through their life.

Massive Attack,

So apparently massive attack has been around for longer than I thought which actually was kinda surprising since their sound is what some dubstep tries to be these days or wishes it could be. I first heard them through last fm radio on my computer and if their was one way to explain how they sound; it would be something along the lines of ominous and eerie because I can agree with alot of people that, with the combined typical instruments used in a band added with special amplifiers and sound distorter's to make this a band to listen to up late at night.

Nirvana and Pearl Jam  in my opinion are very different from each other and are not even in the same genre . Pearl Jam is more mainstream and relates to the majority of people that turn on the radio because this band eventually got recognized enough to be broadcasting on live radio. Nirvana wasnt trying that hard to be famous which, ironically, got them to be famous, as well as pitch, when Kurt sings or rather, mumbles is totally different than when the lead singer in pearl jam sings. Overall they both created a defining impact on music as a whole even to this day, because they were winners and only winners get to be in the history books.

Ive gotten slowly more use to rap and hip hop now not just because of Mr. A's Class but also because on Ratatat. These Two Guys (a DJ, and  guitarist) are excellent on their own but when rap artist like  B.I.G., Z-ro, Slim Thug,U.G.K and many more are introduced to the mix, there just ain't no stoppin'

So the beastie boys were a collaboration of different genres but iv concluded that since the era of funk was in its prime just before beastie boys came on the scene; the beastie boys got most of their inspiration from funk and disco music. Crazy right!!
