They featured this in a fight scene in the film Star Ship Troopers for some reason. I dated a girl that looked a lot like this girl in this group at the time this song came out, then she flipped out and pushed over my fridge and ... well it's a crazy story, so pretty ain't everything. Great song though!

Always loved that movie. I will have to add that to my Netflix queue to re watch.

I like the book much better, it's vastly different, because as the screenwriter admits, he only read the first 3 chapters. Some of the characters in the book who are male appear as female in the film as well. Plus also the movie is just a satire of the military and jingoism and all that crap. I do like it though, I saw it in the cinema when it came out.

Been on a Hollywood Undead kick...why is it that the only rap I like and that I find actually talks about something worth talking about and not just hoes and bitches is all by white rappers? That sounds way more racist than it's meant to...

Anyways, an amazing song! Definitely NSFW though, so listen with headphones if at work...

Been listening to a lot of Ravenhill lately...bluesy, southern rock with a pinch here and here of spirituality:

I have this on repeat and jamping in my seat at work. After yesterday I'm taking it and running with it.

Seems like the same nu metal stuff being churned out since the mid-90s. Not that I'm against nu metal, I'm just saying. I also don't consider them really rap or hip hop at all, not any more than Limp Bizkit or something like that, though I'd say a bit more "rappy."

As far as rap goes, I definitely don't like this at all, from both a musical and lyrical standpoint, in my opinion, it's pretty mediocre as far as hip hop goes.

Given that you seem to like hardcore stuff, maybe check out Kool G Rap, Ghostface Killah, and some others. Here's some stuff to check out (give it a chance, I gave yours ;] )

Is it old-school rap? Not really my thing. Nu metal is great! Linkin Park has often been classified as nu metal. One of the most talented bands out there right now...and nobody can get a crowd going like either Chester Bedingfield or Mike Shinoda...

thanksajdotcom

Case and point:

AFI: Crowd mostly quiet
30 Seconds to Mars: crowd gets really loud and excited
Linkin Park: 20K people sing along to "In the End" among other things...yeah....will NEVER forget that. I'd see Linkin Park again in a heartbeat!
