@ Nerox...no. not really.

@ Mal.....I didn't see what she said as insulting to rap, given that she already stated that she listens to rap and has actually heard of Nate Dogg. I said that in response to the first sentence in her post.

Tabris · 03-16-2011, 05:52 PM

whoa, guys. you're being overly sensitive.
i was under the impression that he said that with the high hopes that i'd offer to let him watch.
those hopes will, of course, be denied.

i appreciate you guys defending me, but we don't have to take everything personally, even if it was directed at me.

edit: oh shit... i'm sorry, i didn't realize your name in RL is "People" what a strange coincidence

Kinako · 03-16-2011, 05:58 PM

Yes...My first name is "People". Middle Name..."R." Last Name...."Stupid"
I take pride in that name and don't you forget it.

Nerox · 03-16-2011, 06:01 PM

Pretty stupid name.

Kinako · 03-16-2011, 06:08 PM

I thought so, too. I'm thinking about getting it legally changed

**Mal** · 03-16-2011, 06:09 PM

Kinako · 03-16-2011, 06:10 PM

^^^HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking about "StormShadow" myself.

RIP Nate Dogg.

I remember Nate Dogg. He featured in "Shake That"... and that's the only thing I knew from him before this thread.

Sorry Kinako, but just because you know much of a musician that is popular in a genre doesn't mean s/he's widely popular. For Cthulhu's sake, I bet that when Kōji Kondō dies, people will be like "who?", regardless of him being the composer of melodies that everyone and their mothers know about.

That is not what I meant. My point was that the man was popular to those familiar with the genre. Just because he may not be popular with someone who listens to nothing but classical or rock does not mean that he was not successful in any way. It simply means that he was popluar to those who listen to rap, but still successful in his own manner. But there were people who don't even listen to much of the genre that are talking about the guy like he was a complete nobody or something. This would be like me saying that Koji dude you mentioned was not successful in any way since I've never heard of him. But keep in mind, I do not listen to his particular genre of music nor do I know who the man is. Just because I do not know who he is does not mean that he is not successful in his own manner

So money equals success? :/

If he was nominated for several Grammys, wouldn't it be safe to assume that he was known for more than one song?

I don't really watch awards shows or anything, but I believe they have awards for things besides best singer. Shit like best music video director, best producer, best song writer, etc..... Blah,Blah,Blah. The point is, it's possible to be nominated for several categories on the same album, and so having multiple nominations doesn't prove he had several successful albums.

That said, I really don't know, because like I said...I never heard of the guy. Which is kinda strange is he had multiple (successful) albums.

Quote:

Hold on, let me get this right...
A person who isn't into rap knowing who Nate Dogg is = Sucessful?! No. That would be like me trying to gauge the degree of success of some rock band based on whether or not I have heard of them. That would make no sense when I know very little about Rock music in general.
If being on songs with rappers such as Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Fabulous, Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, etc. does not constitute being a mainstream singer what does? All of those guys I mentioned are mainstream, world famous rappers. I would assume that you know who they are. The songs that he was on got much airplay on the radio when they came out.

This still shows he was only successful as a featured artist and not on his own. It kinda reminds me of Pharrell. That guy has been featured on a fuckload of other peoples tracks over the years. The difference is that Pharrell is a good singer (IMO), and went on to make awesome stuff on his own, and a ton of people know him, that don't even listen to rap/hiphop, such as myself.

Quote:

You probably haven't heard of him because A) You may possibly be to young,

Bad assumption on your part. I'm old enough to remember 2Pac, Snoop, and the "generation" of rappers that he recorded with.

Quote:

B) You don't listen to much Rap,

How did you know? Maybe because I said so?

Quote:

C) He had a stroke a few years back which cut his career short.

Irrelevant.

If his music were any good it would survive the test of time. For Fucks Sake, I listen to Black Sabbath, and some of their albums were made before I was born.

edit:Tab...Go fuck yourself.

That's not very nice. Why would you say something like that?

Oh, I see. She said people are stupid as fuck, and you got all mad about it. Funny thing is she didn't say your name. So you basically assumed she was talking about you. So in your heart of hearts, you think your a retard? Subconciousness FTW!!!!

EDIT: Did some research to try and find something about this that affects me... only thing I find interesting is that he had 3 strokes and is dead by 41. That tells me genetic defect or massive drug use (which I base on the fact that he apparently "joined the drug trade"). School drop out, dishonourably discharged by the Marines, accused of gun possession, armed robbery, kidnapping(!) and stalking. Associated with several names in the rap industry, but nothing is telling me he had his own career of note.

Soooo... I got nothing.

Hmm. He passed the physical exam for the military. So if I was a betting man it wouldn't be a birth defect. And you usually have to be a real douche bag to get dishonorably discharged. Plus all that other shit.

Sounds like nothing of value was lost.

I didn't say anything about multiple albums. I said he was nominated for different songs. In your previous post you made him sound like a one-hit wonder.

I never said that he did become successful as a solo artist. My point in my previous post was that the songs he was featured on all got substantial radio play when they came out. You were trying to make him sound like he was an unknown becuase you did not know who he was.

Quote:

Maybe so. But if you really knew about them, then you would know about Nate Dogg as well given that he was on mulititude of Snoop's songs.

Pretty much.

There are probably people nationwide playing the song "Regulator" right now. Who is Black Sabbath?? I don't know who they are since I don't listen to rock, so they must not be successful.

I can be an asshole at times.

Even though she did not say my name, she did refer to things that I said, so yes I knew she said that about me. Subconsciousness my ass.
