I actually saw Jinjer live when they opened for Arch Enemy about a year ago. Great singer with a great range, generic music. Took pics of her with my friend, she was super nice and friendly. Gorgeous in person as well.

Saw them as well in January :D yup she's quite able, hot and bad-ass.

Always felt that Arch Enemy was better with Angela than with their new singer. Also, how hard did you have to hold in your boner standing next to that woman?

I'm gonna out-hipster you and say that I like the oldest albums with the first male singer, Johan Liiva the most. Angela is great but its very overproduced. They still released some pretty nice and catchy music. When the newest singer jumped on board it became all generic, happy sounding metal with trite positivity themes in lyrics that makes me cringe pretty fucking hard. She is fucking awesome live though, she can sing her ass off. She is/was a backing singer for Kamelot so she can also sing-sing proper. Took pics with her as well, she was very primadonna-ish, sunglasses at 3am and a team of 4 people who had to continually remind a dozen of us to "not use flash photography because she is sensitive" and other stuff. She is suprisingly short and tiny in person, talk about stage persona.

As far as the Jinjer chick goes, yeaah... I don't think she has more than 5% of body fat, she looks absurdly good with no makeup on. I was happily taken at the time? All I can say :lol:

Yep, I had fun, good show. I'm not much into either bands nowadays but it was a good chance to catch up with an old friend, meaning I went in with zero expectations and I enjoyed both bands for what they are. Also nice to see that there are other people here who are into metal.

He was okay, just another punchline rapper. There is a million of those. I wouldn't really call him underrated. J.i.d., AbSoul and Mick Jenkins are underrated, because they don't focus on making hits.

Luda was always a great rapper, but his beat selection and projects were mostly pop and hit oriented and thats why none of his albums aged well.

You're talking about some new wave guys here. I'm a big fan of Mick Jenkins, but Luda was from a different time and yeah, stylistically he was more of a "pop" rapper. Still, his songs were fun and the delivery was top notch.

Plus he was dirty south before it was cool - all the trap shit nowadays. :)

Also Luda was always known as the guy who would jump on other peoples tracks and outshine them, his collab verses are actually some of his better stuff.

Ha, had this album on CD back in the day. Luda is underrated af. Not that I'm listening to him at all anymore, but he's on par with the greatest, no doubt.

Haha, I don't really care about the artist I just liked the song :)

Luda wasn't anything special at that time, if he wasn't in the era when the mainstream rap was at it lowest (and underground at it's highest) he wouldn't even be noticed back then. Also, he was a DJ before his rap career, so he already had a name for himself.

I recommend Copywrite, better flows, better punchlines, better beats than Luda at the same time.

I don't think I'm saying anything that hasn't been said for more than 15 years now. Ludacris was never a ultra-lyricist, just another okay mainstream rapper.

Remember Xzibit? He was great on his first 3 albums, only the last one of those being a commercial album. After that he became a boring commercial rapper. Ludacris wasn't even as good as X was.

Let me guess, Act A Fool, Yeah and Move Bitch are such great songs :lol: the only thing setting him apart from a lot of other Southern acts was his cartoonish voice.

X, Ludacris and Copywrite are all different rappers though, very hard for me to compare them.

At this point, I think we should really be asking browha whether Luda is world class or not.

Which country has the most eurovisions? You should ask somebody from that country

Just booked tickets and flights to Mad Cool Festival in Madrid in July.

Bon Iver, The National, The 1975, The Cure, Sharon von Etten, Noel Gallagher... Just an insanely stacked lineup. Not like any of that "New Normal" 50/50% gender shit at Primavera.

Properly hyped.

I was there last year, I recommend the VIP tickets if you want to be front row for bigger acts.

This year it's not really up to my taste, tbh.
