im open to new music,

[dimitrispearljam]

and like to listen new things ....

im not into rap,but i can listen and have an opinion..

isnt my style music ,but cant avoid it,you go to a club ,open your radio,tv commercials,.
so you will listen this kind of music at some point...

but really..this guy last night...was really bad...

i understand the need this type of music to be a part of this type of event...

but with all those monsters of music around,and some masterpiece songs...

i cant call that thing Kanye West did ........music.

is this like the best rapper or something?..i think they could find a better one..

[mfc2006]

might want to add another "p" in rapper, buddy.

i hear ya, though. the stones play 2 songs....yet Kanye kept going & going?

[fortheloveofpearljam]

And to top it off, Kanye is an a$$hole!

Personally I think that rap peaked in the early '90s with NWA, Dr. Dre and all that came out of the Westcoast in those days. Beastie Boys were good too. I think popular rap artists along with other genres of music have just dropped talentwise.

for exable,i m not listening to alicia keys,i dont have any of her album..

but she is just wow..amazing talent and last night she was magical!!!

rap didn't peak in the 90's, rap is peaking now and for the past 10 years. as much as i hate to admit it, rap sells to kids of all ages, the same kids that listened to pearl jam in 1995, are now exclusively into rap. kids today can't even identify with songs that have guitar in it. think about major rock groups that have become mainstream in the past few years. can you name any? mumford and song? hardly rock. what is the last rock band that has taken the world by storm?
kayne might suck in our eyes but to millions he his a celebrity.

the word celebrity was said ike 100 times...the cause was to raise money,so rap music scene must be in the show.same as celebrities

Why someone should be able to go up there have one of the largest sets, with the last song they play with an anthem in the song "Let's have a toast to the douche bags...." is beyond me.

Especially when the Stones only have two songs...really?

I mean, I guess that kind of thing means something to I guess a lot of people (sadly) which is why he was there....but more than the Stones, Bruce, and eh em........ED?

It was awful.

No, I'm sure Kanye went over his time alotted or he demanded to have the time he did, while the others just went along with it. Take it to the bank.

dimi i agree with you 100%. I didn't say rap was good but unfortunately rap is king here in the united states. i would love to hear some good rock but there's no one to pass the torch.

A while ago, like 1-2 years ago, I looked through my iPod and the "new" rock on there was stuff like Clutch or System of a Down from 2002-2006 or so.

[dimitrispearljam]

was intresting they didnt have a big pop name,like Madonna,lady Gaga,Rihanna..etc,this type
