[Danielle]

[bobeta]

it wasw the vh1 song of the week. That makes it instantelly cool.

[Galactus]

Is it played a lot? Yes. It it still good? Yes. After all, it's got The Neptunes behind it.

[j0k3r]

ive never heard it

[crusty]

Mah milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
and they're like "It's better than yours,"
Damn right, it's better than yours.
I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

.....WOOT!

[bobeta]

now imagine little kim singing that with a bunch of odd sounds going off. Thats how it sounds.

[crusty]

It's played at a kinda-fast rate. Dun..Dun..Dun..Dun

[j0k3r]

that songs ok but its not sumting id listen to by choice necisarily

[The Brown Cow]

it wasw the vh1 song of the week. That makes it instantelly cool.

Actually, I would think that would have the opposite effect...

[The First]

never heard the song ... *plays with shadows sig*

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

I hate that song almost as much as I hate "Hey Ya" by Outkast. *Shudders at the mention of that song.*

[Living_Vipe]

i love it xpecily the remix thats played at a fast tempo

[The First]

Hey Ya is cool, the Milkshake song video makes me wonder what she's trying to sell, her body or the music...

[Feuer frei]

Wheres the "What the hell are you talking about" vote?

[kevinok]

It just this stupid new song.

[The First]

and it sucks

[Living_Vipe]

who can u say it sux's have u even heard it

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

She's selling her body, and the chick ain't even that hot. I'd even go so far to say as I wouldn't hit that with a stolen d*** let alone my own.

What happened to all the talented song writers?

[HellSing]

Sex drugs and rock and roll died out at the 90's for that new age Hip-hop crap. Im pissed. No, milkshake sucks.




Alot

[Living_Vipe]

What happened to all the talented song writers?

well tupac got shot so did biggie, ayliah was in a plane crash, 50 cents been in shootings but hasn't been killed, dizzee raskal alive so is DMX and is ja rule beyonce and alica keys, mary j blige.

should i go on

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

Living_Vipe, I said talented SONG writers, not street poets.

I know the talented ones are still around, but they've been shoved aside for lyrics like "Alright alright alright alright alright alright" and "Shake it shake it shake it shake it."

[Living_Vipe]

ok my list has been shortened a lot now i have 2,

2pac he was a talented song writer and u can't say anything about that

and Dizzee Raskal he doesne't keep sayin' alright x1million

u got any problem with that

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

Alright, to spell it out, I don't consider rap music. Therefore, I don't find Tupac all that thrilling. In fact, I wish he were dead. Oh, wait...

[HellSing]

ROFL.
The only reason(s) I have a problem with 2pac:
Im white dude, and this guy, he hated white people. I dont enjoy being called a "Cracka" You see.
And eh... Dizzie raskal?
Wha?
(Edit) Oh yeah.... and tupac's music sucks too. Oh yeah, tupacs dead so who cares? HAHAAH ...
...
...
-_-

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

Another thing I like about rock music is that there are no bands whose names start with "Lil". Lil Kim, Lil Wayne, Lil Bow Wow, Lil Romeo, need I go on?

[HellSing]

Definitley, and rock doesnt talk about spanking ho's, and raping #####es.

[Living_Vipe]

Definitley, and rock doesnt talk about spanking ho's, and raping .

some R'n'B dosn't sing about that

the reason i don't like rock is because it 2 loud all they do i shout in the micphone

[The First]

What he meant is that the lyrics are too complicated for him. Hearing alright 27 and a half times in a row is much more calming and makes meditation much easier. See? everything has it's true meaning...

R'n'B is not only a pain in the butt to type with all the apostrophes, but is also just horrendous. It's the same thing... each and every time. The songs are rarely different (a few notes may vary), and the theme is always the same as well. Someone cheated, got dumped, wants someone, is shot, or it's a depressive rant that no one wants to hear.

And "rock" isn't loud. Ever hear Pink Floyd? or anything else that's a little older and wasn't made for the sake of money? That's not shouting, that's music.

[Living_Vipe]

the artistes may be singing about the same this but the beat and every thing is different. Just because the the artist who write them sing about the same this doesn't make it plain

[The First]

what is this "everything"? Beat and...? The speed is always the same, slow, hypnotizing yapping. But hey, music tastes differ, anything else would be boring.

But if you say you like justin timberlake, I'll have to kick you. Or anyone else at that.

[Galactus]

You guys are far too closed minded to have real opinions about music. Every genre has it's gems, and then there are those who don't fit into any genre at all.

Outkast is good. I don't find it hard to believe that you base your entire argument against them on one song. They're talented lyricists and are ingenuitive when it comes to blending musical styles.

Timberlake, yeah, he's good. He can sing, though sometimes he goes out of his way to show it off. Not the most talented when it comes to writing his stuff, but his music is catchy, danceable, and downright fun.

Pink Floyd was a great band, undoubtedly. They've made plenty of music which can be appreciated even by those of us who don't smoke pot. At times very complex, but always very listenable.

You guys need to take down your biases and realize that any 'style' of music can be good, so long as it's done right. The song Milkshake, which this thread is about, was indeed done right.

[Living_Vipe]

your right Psydd every peace of music has it's own properties and people like different propertises

it's a shame hellsing like the wrong propertise though

[The First]

Timberlake sounds like he was castrated, I don't know what you define as "good singing" :-p

And living_vipe... that kind of post makes me want to smack you. But I think you did that in purpose. (contradicting yourself, i mean)

[Galactus]

Well, Timberlake has a tendency to sing in a similar manner to Michael Jackson sometimes. He's sure sold plenty of albums ;)

[Living_Vipe]

i din't say i liked Timberlake i just said i like rap and stuff like that

[The First]

Personally I don't like rap because they keep selling out, list me five majorly known rappers that have not sold out....... the only reason they play Justin Timberlake on Rap channels is because he gets accual rappers to do meanial chorus' in his songs.....

[The First]

There are plenty of other groups that sell out. And it's our (or rather your, I don't buy rap) own fault. You're the one that buys they're CD's. Not like anyone's stealing money, you give it to them.

But Timberlake's music is by far better than what he fabricated with NSync, or whichever boy band he was in.

[The First]

That is true, but I dont buy rap, I hate it with a passion. You do have a point Dark, Justin Timberlakes stuff is alot better now than before

[br1mst0n3]

I dont know, guys, song that he sang in the superbowl was pretty good.
I have an open mind about ALL kinds of music. Tupac was good, and so was Dizzie Rascal. Shame tupac had to be gangsters and get shot, and killed, he was a good guy. But, vipe, so was Trent Reznor, and so was Kurt cobain, and you should understand that there lyrics aren't just yelling random things in the microphone, but expressing there ideas. Just like tupac did.
Wish I found this thread before phydd, else I would've said the same thing. (Whos phydd? New admins added?)

[The First]

Psydd's a new mod. He used to be On_Slaught. I dunno if you were around at the same time or not.

I'm still curious what Psydd's supposed to mean, or stand for...

[Living_Vipe]

u have a point br1mst0n3 u we should be open minded about music

[Danielle]

the song is played out

[The First]

I haven't heard it a lot... but that may be because I don't watch tv too much... or listen to the radio... *sigh* maybe it's time I really do come out of my basement for once. :-p

[Galactus]

Well, people can sell lots of albums and not sell out. It's when they start putting out the same crap over and over again that they're a sellout, because they know it'll sell. They can keep making music that they enjoy, and those albums can still be really good (some of them are the best) and will sell like crazy. But that doesn't make them a sellout; they're staying true to themselves, the money they make is just a benefit.

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

The fact of the matter is this: The song "Milkshake" sucks, alright? It depicts a woman selling her body. Wow. Now, let's take lyrics like "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica and look at the profound subject matter, as it delves not only into literature, but into the soul of people driven into war:

"Make us fight on the hills
in the early day
Constant chill lives inside
Shouting gun, on they run
through the endless grey
On they fight, for they're right
yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill
Why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive
through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain
Now they surely know
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Time Marches on
For Whom the Bell Tolls"

Compared with:

"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
and they're like "It's better than yours" Darn right, it's better than yours. I'd teach you, but I'd have to charge."

Hmm... which one took a little more thought to come up with?

That was a well-researched post

[The First]

You forgot something: Metallica doesn't show their legs and other body parts in close-up throughout the entire video to make the song somewhat attractive to hormone driven guys who have nothing better to do... :-p
...
just as more proof that Metallica actually makes "music"

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

Right, they actually go for the soul when it comes to a song. Do they always succeed? No. In fact a lot of people would view St. Anger as one of their worst albums (even though I like it, I'm just checking the other side of the argument).

But at least you can tell that some time and effort was put into the song when you listen to bands like Metallica, Pantera, AC/DC, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, and Ozzy Osbourne. Every song may not be a gem, but at least time and effort was put into creating them.

[br1mst0n3]

I just don't understand rules.

[Rambo]

I'm an accessory to rule breaking.

[br1mst0n3]

Just making a point.

[Galactus]

*SMACK*

You guys still, honestly, don't get the point. And you also forgot to mention the fact that metallica has done nothing but utterly suck since 1992 :p

Music is about more than lyrics. Hey, wouldn't it be crazy if some people made music without lyrics? Oh wait, that's what music used to be. Even before people had instruments they could make sounds with their own bodies, but they weren't sung words. And you know what? Some people still make music without lyrics, and a lot of it is better than the other stuff that's around today.

You really need to a take a song and judge it as a whole. Seriously, I don't mean to say this is a mean way, but until some of you can express that when you consider critiquing music you actually consider the whole of the music, I won't regard your opinions of it as 'matter of fact.'

[The First]

So lets look at the music made with the body in Milkshake. Tell me, what music do you hear? Ahem... I won't state the kind of things I interpret out of the words and the body language, little kids are watching.

And yes, music is far more than lyrics, and there's some great music that doesn't use lyrics to express emotions. Spanish guitar music, for example. Or Bach. Or other countless composers, cultures and so on.

I don't understand the lyrics to Milkshake, to be honest. That means there was either no thought put into it, or they have a meaning, and considering Kelis has been around for a while longer than some other "musicians", I bet there is a meaning.

But I simply don't like :-D I don't get a good impression of Milkshake when I hear it. It sounds like elevator music (and if it had Midi quality, I'm sure it would be elevator music). And I only like the music Metallica did for MI2, in case you're wondering :-p

And some people have insane problems with following rules. And then two in a row. Has that happened before?

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

Sucked since 92? Please. The only reason most people say Metallica suck is because they went after Napster. Boohoo, it's time to get over that. Napster's back anyways, even though it still sucks.

And I do know that there is music without lyrics, but I was making a point against this song with some well thought out lyrics against some poorly done ones. Steve Vai is a great example of lyricless music, as is Joe Satriani.

[Galactus]

I say Metallica has sucked since '92 because everything they put out after the black album sucked. The black album being released in '91, that gives a little time before it was time for suckery to emerge.

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

Well that's your opinion. I find Load and ReLoad to be good albums, though very underrated. Sure, not every track on each album is great (on Load, I could have done without The Cure and Poor Twisted Me, Reload I could have done without Slither and Carpe Diem Baby), but the overall feeling of the music is there. And come on, you can't say that S&M sucked. That was one of the best rock shows to feature an individual band ever.

[hittheroof]

I'm a metaler since I'm 10 years old( well since I'm 12 and a poser from 10-12) and in the last year I finally begin to open up. I realy love Outkast for the sound not the lyrics(and the whole world loves it when you do that sound BABA BABA BABA") and their creativity. What's a really good band too is Apocalyptica. For anyone who doesn't know them, no singer, 4... uh in German it's called Kontrabass :-k :oops: and a really cool metal sound. Another artist I like is Bob Marley. It's just the perfect music for chilling.

Oh and I like the St.Anger album. The title song( St.Anger) is quite experimental for Metallica with the extreme speed changes but that's what makes the song so good and special (even though I can't hear it anymore because of MTV and friday nights in the clubs :) ). Some other cool songs from this great album are "Shoot me again", "Sweet Amber" ( a psycho love song) and "Invisible kid" ( for Emos and teenagers). So, BUY IT NOW! (or download per eMule/KaZaA/Napster/whatever else :) :wink: )

[denacioust]

I hate that song almost as much as I hate "Hey Ya" by Outkast. *Shudders at the mention of that song.*

That songs cool The Milkshake song sucks tho'

[hittheroof]

Finally. Almost everyone I know dislikes "Hey Ya!" though most of them hear metal. But even the rap guys don't like it except 1 or 2. How can someone not like it?

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

I'll tell you how I can not like it: There's nothing to that song.

[h00pla]

but there is the great variant to it

told by ripht

My one ring brings all the orc to the yard
And their like, "It's better than Dwarves"
Dang right, it's better than Dwarves
I could slay you, but I'd have to charge

[hittheroof]

I'll tell you how I can not like it: There's nothing to that song.
What do you mean by nothing? I like the sound. Sure the lyrics aren't the greatest but so are they in many other songs of all genres there are.

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

The sound? It's just some synthesized noise and a drum machine. Not much sound to it.

[hittheroof]

There you have it! Synthesized noise and a drum machine! So there is sound! Considering that even a triangle is a music instrument...

[The_Dude_Lebowski]

Synthesized noise and a drum machine, compared to two guitars, a bass, and a REAL drummer. Hmm... no contest.

[hittheroof]

That's exactly what I think! No contest. I won't even compare it. I have about 200 CDs with everything from Slayer through Iron Maiden, Cannibal Corpse or Sepultura. As I said in the music forum I play bass and e-guitar myself. And I like the song nevertheless.

[unicycler]

I hate it

[hittheroof]

I hate it
Which one? Milkshake? *doubts that he read all the pages*

[unicycler]

Your doubt is confirmed, I don't waste that much time on here. Milkshake yes, I only awnsered the poll and posted, I didn't really read any pages.

[Fat Baby]

Hey milkshake sucks but all types of music has somthing good about it and hey ya is a great song the trick is to not listen to it to much. If u don't like a song don't complain about it just don't listen.

[hittheroof]

I know what you mean. First i didn't like it at all. But then I was playing some game on the PC and the song was on MTV at the same time. And after sometime I was starting to sing the Hey Ya part without noticing it. Aftr some seconds I was thinking "Wait a minute. I'm supposed to hat that song."
Well, I like it.

[The First]

I hate that Milkshake song!

[Fat Baby]

good for u man but i am sure u didn't read the whole thing

[Slim_Shady]

That's the one were it goes, "My milk shake is way better then yours, DAM right! it's better then yours"? If so, yeah it's a good song. Has a catchy tune

[Rob97]

I'm with jdude
