Shew, 9 year old little Johnny throwing a submarine, nasty curve ball will be the talk of Little League. Key is you have to make sure the mechanics are proper. If proper , no way constant snapping of an undeveloped young elbow will do any harm. It's all in the mechanics. Or so Jason Witten told me.
Your consistent terribleness is actually amazing. The ‘serious’ posts are idiotic, and the ‘humorous’ posts are dreadful.

If they’re successful white, Jewish, upper middle class rappers, I’m gonna be a big fan. Don’t even need to listen to the music, to be perfectly honest.

Really liked Beastie Boys in my teens and early 20's but their music just doesn't hold up to me anymore.

(ducks for cover from every middle aged white guy in here... which is everyone)

Agreed. I liked Beastie Boys more than almost any band in the 90’s - they are the first concert I went to - but you are right, it's basically music that teenagers relate to. I can still listen to it when I'm working out or something, but it doesn't hold up to say classic rock.

MCA was a Buddhist who also dropped an all time vicious verse on “Three Minute Rule”, so much like me he was an interesting enigma.

*most ^

Just like with any other genre, you have to search for the good stuff. 98% of anything you will hear on the radio, TV, at a bar, or in public = absolute trash, for certain.

You could also argue all that junk isn't Hip Hop, the same way country peeps say all the popular stuff isn't "country".

Their "Benny and the Jets" cover with Biz Markie is better than the original fight me

Ok. I'll fight. Elton John's version may be a top 10 song of any genre of all time. Also, hip hop is like candy. It's not as good the older you get. Sure, you'll snack on some occasionally but it's nothing like when you were younger.

I don't know what it is about 6ix9ine, but to me he doesn't just have a "punchable" face, he's got a "hit him multiple times with a baseball bat" face. Just seeing him literally pisses me off. I hope somebody he ratted on shoots him multiple times. TS.

-goodbye yellow brick road is absolutely a top 10 mainstream rock/pop album...not sure i would put any one song in the top 10.

-music like all art is to be looked at in context of time/culture of when it is made. Whether something "holds up"(whatever that means) is solely based on ones preferences and experiences.

-in the 80's everyone said the 70's music sucked, in the 90's everyone said 80's music suckedand so on...or olds said "today's music ain't real!1!!" whilst yelling at clouds. Its all ********. There is good stuff in every genre in every time period. Period.

B&J doesn't crack Elton's top 10 of his own material. Good grief.

One observation I've made about today's popular music with teens is that so much of it is designed around being usable for tik tok and other social media apps. The actual "music" itself is secondary to being able to lip sing or design some sort of dance to it or send a message to friends.

Lending itself to a lot of repetitive, nonsensical garbage.
