It must be great to be a celebrity. Take rapper Lil' Wayne for example. In a
GTR video clip, he tells about an Xbox he received from a friend that plays "every game from A-Z, Atari, Nintendo, pong, movies & even porn." Can you imagine? We didn't even know Microsoft
made an Xbox like that, and here celebrities are getting them as gifts. ... What's that? ... It's a modded Xbox? Oh come on, now you're just being naive.
Kidding aside, you can say what you will about our close personal friend
Soulja Boy, but at least he pays for his games before he
totally misunderstands them to be about drugs and alcohol.

For some reason, this guy's voice reminds me of a drowning kitten.
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington] @ Oct 9th 2009 2:57PM
Also, Justin, thanks for the Soulja Boiiiiii memories.

lil wayne is the man
Silicon Siren @ Oct 9th 2009 3:30PM
Lil' Wayne grew up in my hometown, and the school he went to the teachers and students described him as, "The whimpy annoying kid who got beat up, etc." Explains why he's a douchebag rapper now....
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:49PM
Thanks for the suggestions, Space. I'll give them a whirl.

LOL, anyone else hear that Soulja Boy got arrested today?
lanceyami03 @ Oct 9th 2009 7:35PM
He sounds like he's crying all the time to me.

Those are some funny posts. I'm sure Wayne is laughing us drinkin' Crys out of the belly button of a model in the back of his Bentley.

Lil' Wane thats a lil silly don't cha think yo!
johnny @ Oct 9th 2009 2:43PM
People with that many tattoos have mental problems. And sorry but if lil wayne is real hip hop then brittany spears is the best singer in the world. Most underground rappers are 10x better than wayne.
tmacairjordan87 @ Oct 9th 2009 2:48PM
Maybe they should come above ground to save rock and hip hop, cause they're both awful right now.
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington] @ Oct 9th 2009 2:51PM
What the fuck has happened to music in the last ten years? It used to be awesome. Now we've got people like Lady Gaga and this bastard...
J @ Oct 9th 2009 3:06PM
Music isn't dead... only the music "industry". At some point they did, but have now lost touch with all of the good music actually going on because they don't think it's "marketable" enough... so, they just push a bunch of crap down everyone's throats until enough people think that's what they like... mainly because they just don't have or know that they have access to good music.
There's also the aspect of good musicians fearing a label of "sell out" so, they refuse record deals and are then not heard by a very wide audience.
Solace @ Oct 9th 2009 3:12PM
man I wish Captain Falcon was real sometimes so he could Falcon Punch people like Lady Gaga

"Music isn't dead... only the music industry."
Couldn't agree more, J.
"What the fuck has happened to music in the last ten years? It used to be awesome.
Way to overreact and generalise, Alton Brown. See Foals for example, my favourite band of 2008.
cuteSAVAGE @ Oct 9th 2009 3:20PM
@ J & Ashitaka: Hit the nail on the head. Foals are brilliant too.
You just have to stop and lift a few rocks if you want the good stuff.
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:32PM
Foals IS good, but for the most part, quality music is harder to come by.
Space @ Oct 9th 2009 3:34PM
for you alton brown...
birdy nam nam, muse, the ting tings, The Presets, The Potbelleez, Butterfingers, Salmonella dub, pendulum
I could go on but those are just a few off the top of my head.
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:36PM
Fuck, I forgot about Muse. Coheed is good, too.
embassy @ Oct 9th 2009 3:40PM
What *has* happened to music in 10 years? 10 years ago we had Nsync, Backstreet boys, Spicegirls, Ricky Martin and Hanson dominating radio. When looking at at it from that perspective, the music industry is actually *better off* creatively at this time..
I wish people would step back and really take a look at popular music and realize nothing ever really changes in that space. There is, and will forever be, good music *and* bad music.
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:41PM
And if you're still willing to give Hip-Hop a chance, give Mos Def's The Ecstatic a go: it's terrif!
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:44PM
Good point, embassy. I think the level of shit saturation a bit higher now, though.
Vcize @ Oct 9th 2009 4:05PM
10 years ago people were yearning for the music of 10 years before that.
And 10 years before that people were yearning for the music 10 years before THAT.
Nostalgia disease. With media we always remember the past in a fonder light than when we experienced it.
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Oct 9th 2009 4:13PM
Haha, ten years ago, we definitely DID NOT want 80s music. Let's just forget about that decade altogether.
dark_inchworm (stronger than never, ever before) @ Oct 9th 2009 4:30PM
Did somebody just mention The Ting Tings? I just totally came.
I'm mostly an industrial/industrial rock person, as anyone who pays any attention to me would know, but I've been getting into Silversun Pickups and Imogen Heap lately. So pleasant.
Sadistic Freek @ Oct 9th 2009 5:14PM
dark_inchworm, Silversun Pickups and Imogen Heap are both pretty good in my opinion. My girlfriend got me into Silversun Pickups a couple or so years ago when she got a magazine called Filter (I think that's the name of it) and it had a cd of various artists on it, one artist being Silversun Pickups. Imogen Heap's other project, Frou Frou is also quite good. I also enjoy industrial, and ebm bands: KMFDM, Covenant, System Syn, Imperative Reaction, Rotersand, Stromkern, Skinny Puppy... the list goes on.
Dr. Bradwart @ Oct 9th 2009 5:04PM
Who said bad things about the 80's? How dare ye!
There is okay music today, but the majority is crap.
Personally, I doubt people long for the music of 10 years ago...that would mean all the 'boy bands' and Britney.
dark_inchworm (stronger than never, ever before) @ Oct 9th 2009 5:26PM
KMFDM (particularly during the 90's) is where it's at.
:)
WiredKnight: Keeper of Threads @ Oct 9th 2009 6:27PM
If you aren't happy with the music of this generation, you aren't listening to the right artists. Same goes for the past 20+ years.
Abk @ Oct 10th 2009 3:44PM
@ J
I have been looking for words to best describe the state of music these days to my brainwashed friends. You nailed it there man.
emmm may I borrow your words? thanks in advance
Heyyou27 @ Oct 9th 2009 2:44PM
Well, now I don't feel bad about pirating his music.
Just kidding, I would never waste my time downloading that shit.

Classic Cash Money is better to me
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:09PM
anything is better to me
GiggMan @ Oct 9th 2009 3:14PM
You people kill me.
Just because you don't like doesn't mean it's shit. In some cases it's the exact opposite. Well anyway I don't listen to him either but I have enough respect for anybody in the music industry not to call their music shit.
You all are no better than Kanye.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:21PM
why would you respect people in the music industry? Just cause they're in the music industry and make music? It's not hard, and most of them, like most people, are assholes
GiggMan @ Oct 9th 2009 3:28PM
Why would I respect them? I respect them enough not to call their music shit. Hell I respect you enough not to call your opinion shit and I don't know you.
Why not just respect others period. Not everyone is going to like the same thing but nobody deserves to have their creative efforts labeled as "shit."
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:34PM
I miss when you had to earn respect.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:36PM
if their creative efforts are shit they do. And you dont have to respect me, tell me my stuff is shit, downvote me, that's what it's there for.
GiggMan @ Oct 9th 2009 3:42PM
My bad Dark Wayne thinks something is shit therefore it is Shit. I don't know what I was thinking. How dare me...
Oh yeah and news Flash You Aint BATMAN!!
LoL
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:47PM
He's not acting like Batman. Just like I don't act like Alton Brown.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Oct 9th 2009 3:49PM
see? Look at that, you didnt respect me. Doesnt it feel nice?!
Also I am absolutely Batman and don't you forget it
GiggMan @ Oct 9th 2009 3:52PM
LOL.
It just dawned on me that I was having a debate with someone named the Dark Wayne with a Batman avatar and I found it funny.
Much respect though for real it's almost quiting time.
BigD145 @ Oct 9th 2009 4:22PM
Some people produce absolute shit. Respect humanity by calling it what it is.
GiggMan @ Oct 9th 2009 5:54PM
Well consensus says that I am wrong. So if you cant beat em join em. LOL
I hope none of you have a band or aspirations of making it in the music industry because more than likely you suck and your music is shit! I like this, damn respecting everyone else this is more fun.
