rap is more poetry than music, for better or worse, which means the emphasis is on the lyrics.With all due respect, but I find this perspective hard to take serious. Obviously lyrics are very important to rap, but they should not be decontextualized from the music. Much of the strenght of rap is in the expression: the way a rapper uses his voice and seeks to add layer to the production.
Kanye West, on the other hand, just uses a beat, a bassline and talks himself up. That's it. That's his thing. It's tolerable in a club, but I'd never buy the album.That's a bit harsh, don't you think? It seems like your mixing his arrogant personality in the media with the actual music he made. It's much like B.O.B. in my honest opinion: he made a lot of shit, but there are some songs with a lot of soul to it. I'm not an avid fan of Kanye West, let that be made clear, but he has made some great songs with a lot of warmth and feel to them. This for example. Furthermore, he does provoke thought - agreeing with those thoughts is second. B.O.B. is a bit too poppy for me and his lyrical content is anything but original. But then again.. I suppose this is personal preference and I wrote way too much on this already. Haha.
Perhaps you don't have taste of music, so everything is good for you.Perhaps you're just being a troll with a lot of preconceived opinions?
I propose a night dedicated to CS beta/alpha maps (think de_rotterdam, cs_arabstreets, as_tundra etc.) - kind of a retro history trip.That's also a good idea.
Very true, most collab projects do end up taking ages.Therefor you'll have better chances with people making small fy_ maps or whatever.
Freshed this was pretty creative. Though g man d*** well knows he's one evil bad a** mother fu**er.That's why he looks to the right in the second picture. My entry is full of symbolism and subtle hints. It might look minimalistic and too abstract and obviously it is, but that's why it's important to read the context in which it was made. Every brush-based object has meaning and it is for the viewer to reveal that. Obviously I could spill out every bit of meaning, but I want the viewer to put his own imagination to work. Hence it might seem a bit vague or even 'creepy' as quailcreek put it, since that was the direction I was going for.
How about making a fy_ map for CS lololololol!..you know it is awesome.
... whatever that means...or something simple like that. Yay for many entries.
can we do another one of these?
Of course, that's exaggerated, but there aren't that many really active mappers around anymore, right?Guilty.
Perhaps has a thing for glowing blue penises, assuming his avatar is Dr ManhattanIt isn't Dr. Manhattan.
Agrees that I cant figure out what his name stands for but, hey!Spoiler Thomas James Boyle spoiler
For about half an hour, you if have a decent number of playersI'd have to agree with that, it isn't really a game for long sessions (more than an hour), but to get some fast games going fraggin' round it's just right.
You have the game, right? It's just in the GCF.I'm a noob, forgive me for my ignorance.
Well if you don't, here.BUT, thanks for your kindness aswell!
Does anyone even play that anymoreActually, there is atleast 1 server with people in it 24/7. At power hours you have about 4 full servers.. which means it is also a close community. There are some active clans even. I just hop in once in a while.. because it's fast, it's simple and just a damn fine timewaster.
