Yea, I think it's Billboard dissing rap music. Still, some of my favorite rap songs are labeled as such by Billboard like ICP's Mad Professor. I like humor in rap. They seem to go together well. I think it's the timing that similar, and how rap is very wordy.
"The Moon's getting closer. Do you see it? One day it'll crash into us! I've got to tell everyone. The end is near! The Moon! The Moon is coming to destroy the earth! We must find the Ocarina of Time and the Majora's Mask! Everyone listen!" - What the... oh phew. It was just a dream.
I'm having a similar feeling but for a different reason. My console gaming was always tied to my gaming with friends, and now that that's severely curtailed, I'm wondering why I bother with consoles at all. I have little time during the week to engage with a full console game. I'm mostly playing handheld stuff, because I can play just an hour at a time. Also, I'm on the road a lot because I don't like staying at home, so portable systems seem to be the best choice for my lifestyle. Can I bear to trade in all my consoles and all the games I have for them? Not yet. I still play with friends a little bit, but I'm very close to going all handheld gaming and turning my back on the big TV console experience.
I remember using the Joel Whitburn Pop Annual book (which lists all the songs that were on the Billboard Hot 100 since 1955) as my Bible for a while there and Eminem's song "My Name Is" was there but labeled as a Novelty song. The song had a humerous tone to it, but I don't know if should've been labeled as a Novelty. I liked the track but never got into his music beyond that, except of course, for the parody done by Weird Al, "Couch Potato" based on "Lose Yourself"
Yea, I just went on a binge of this-gen games and am contemplating a second run. As soon as the new system's games start hitting Gamestops on November 15, they'll be trying to get rid of last gen stuff with lots of sales. It's a great time to build the collection. I have a few titles in mind like Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and WarHammer 40,000 Space Marine for 360 and Afrika for PS3.
It's required gaming for the Xbox 360, if for nothing else than to play the opening escape from the dungeon. Heck, you can do that for free by playing the demo (if it's still available). I still remember coming out of the dungeon and into the light for the first time and marveling at the beauty of the Cyrodiil land and sky.
It added the right atmosphere for one to happen. Luckily it was just something falling over in my closet. I should go check that now...
I got a Kit Kat, some homemade cookies, and some doughnut holes. I'm runnin' around like Sonic now. SWOOOSH!!!
Alright, I'm totally jittery from too much candy and all this scary music on Pixlbit is really freaking me out... Ah!!! What was that!
One of these days. I'm gonna get my PC's up and running again for this kind of thing.
