i never said sprinsteen wasn't amazing...im not arguing his talent...he's dope.
but i think you have the black vs. white thing wrong...its not dangerous for a white kid to try to rap...look at all the white rappers out there on the underground...if you mean as far as mainstream then yes it is but there are tons of underground white rappers (i just totally contradicted something i said earlier so as far as white guys in rap i was wrong) but also i dont think that its dangerous for a black guy to like rock.
music is at the point now to where its not what type of music you listen to...its what artists in that music you listen to that will get you looked at funny...like...i could love hip hop...but if all i listened to was chingy, nelly, ja rule, and 50 cent...and then said nobody was better than them...i would probably get my ass kicked by everyone i ever came accross...same with rock...if you listen to rock but you think that avril lavigne and blink 182 are the best ever...you should probably be slapped.

The white kid dangerous to rap thing was a joke, but the ghetto black kid thing was not. They aren't in physical danger, there image is in danger. Trust me. I live in near many government housing projects filled with black kids. When I play rock for them individually, the really good ones, a lot like it. When they're in groups they are quick to shut it down. One thing that will always make me laugh though is when a couple of years ago I played 5 to 1 by the Doors for the local thugs, and they responded with "turn that shit off". A little later when Jay Z released Takeover, those same clowns praised the song, and complemented Kanye on his production skills. Also they claimed I had never played the Door's song for them.
Well you recognized Bruce's brilliance, I'm satisfied. And since it just came to me I'll say it now. I feel his catalogue is far more versitile than Kelly's (and Jackson's) and that is one of the main reasons I put him ahead of them.
Don Breezio:
well i don't disagree his catalogue is more versatile...i just don't think their talent should be compared because they have different talents in a sense. lmao @ the thugs w/ the doors...thats funny as hell

Fair enough. I mean we could argue whether they should be compared or not for eternity and could never come to the "right" answer, because there isn't one. And even though I don't think there is any thing R Kelly or Jackson can do that Bruce can't do just as well or better ( except dance in MJ's case) I will respect your thoughts that there talents are too different to compare. The whole thing started in an argument the other day with some more of those "local thugs" and it bothered me that they hadn't actually ever heard Springsteen, and I guess the I kind a moved the argument here. The argument with them ended when one of their Uncles butt in for Springsteen, and actually got angry at the thought that they said MJ was better than Bruce. Imagine that, a guy born in raised in Jamaica, and a hard core Springsteen fan. He saw him play with Bob Marley once at a concert, and never stopped listening.
Don Breezio:
lol...atleast we can have a civilized arguement which is more than i can say for some people...glad it didnt look like this:
