Post by: Lincoln on November 20, 2004, 11:27:13 AM
Since we were discussing the top songs, I thought I'd put this up. It's from a while ago.

Yeah, I agree. I've never really liked the Rolling Stones too much.

Michael Jackson at #35? This is bullshit. He should've been ranked way higher.

I disagree with that, I wouldn't have put him that high. No way would I have put him above David Bowie, John Lennon, The Doors, Van Morrison, Sly And The Family Stone, Public Enemy, Janis Joplin, Elton John or the Beastie Boys.

Ray Charles would be ahead of the Rolling Stones for sure on my list. Johnny Cash would be way higher as well. Same with David Bowie and Prince. And Curtis Mayfield not being on the list is weak.

Rolling Stones list is an example of racial prejudice.  Notice there is no 2pac, Fugee's, Rakim, Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Nas, or rap artist at the top of this list.  They threw in a few token R@B artists, but let's be real, everyone knows African American's make better music than white people, African's brought the music with them over from the slave ships.  There are very few select white artists that can compete at their level, Rolling Stone's list should reflect this fact.

ok you're just stupid.

really fucking stupid. 40% of that list is of black musicians, MUSICIANS. this list is not comprised of rappers. rappers are not necessarily musicians. and, you gotta remember that in this country, 13% of the population is black. tell me one good reason that the fugees or nas or any rap artist should be at the top of that list.

Rappers aren't musicians?  Just that statement makes you a racist.  Rappers create lyrics far superior to any other musician, and the beats that accompany the rhymes are more creative as well.  That's why you see Rock Artists since the 90's have had to go to hip-hop to get a hit album, because their music is trash, but white people are prejudice so they would rather listen to a white guy make bad rock/rap music than an African American making a solid hip-hop record. 

And I know what the statistics are, that's exactly my point, white people chose their inferior white artists for their list, because they are prejudice and give special preference to their race.

is you would have said rappers are poets.. you could have had a small point.. their lyrics are not far superior.. and their beats are not creative.. they are loops usually sampling a classic song that is 10x better then the song its recycled on...white people are not prejudice agaisnt blacks.. you want a  rapper at the top of a list that is held by musicians who, 40 years ago, broke through with music, completely original, and its still 100x superior to most rappers
