buzz off mister i wasn't tryna be offencive toward him or anything jst wanted to understand his comment.. the way he wrote it kinda looks like as if he means that old rap talked about sex and the new one doesn't whereas we have the opposite happening, most rappers talk about crap hoes weed clubs n sex nowadays which means nothing yet still idiots listen to it n buy their cd's only a few true MC's exist nowadays like mike or nash or the game etc
now that's what i call REAL rap. Shinoda's a true genius and his lyrics have so much meaning. and his raps are never what they seem to be on the outside, they're deep man. one of my favorite songs by FM aside from The Hard Way.
"Listen it's like poker you can play your best // but you gotta know when to fold your cards and take a rest // And know when to hold your cards and hold your breath // and hope nobody else is stacking the deck"
This one strikes really close to home with me...great song
I use to just listen for just beat and rhythm till i started to write my own songs. People do not look if they do not care. I wish there were more songs then this by Fort Minor because all of this is inspiration for me.
why didn't his songs get more airplay? These are the best songs on the album...and his album didn't get that much hype, wth. We need more music like Shinoda's, music with meaning...
i completely agree but you know.....only kids listen to this stuff and they dont really look for meaning....they just look for a nice beat and good rhythem
maybe not many look for meaning, but the ones who need meaning do...and those are the kids that count the most. without stuff like this, theyd be gone
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch some marijuana. Jack got high and dropped his fly and said jill do you wanna ?Jill said yes and dropped her dress and then they had some fun. Silly Jill forget her pill and now they have a son

If you actually sit down and ready his lyrics, they are very clever are moving and most of all, he's passionate about them. you can clearly hear it in his voice.
Sure he has moments where he wants to be stupid, but the songs are still cleverly worded and sung/rapped.
Please, appreciate genius. He's the biggest selling rapper of all time for a reason.
i know that 2pac i very famous and i like most of his songs, too. but why do you think he is "the best"? maybe also a bit because his life ended so tragically?
im srry but eminem is the next gen rap, the reason 2pac sales so much is cuz of his death. An srry to tell u, but eminem is the creation of white rappers, plus as far as shinoda goes, he is just absoluely amazing, but to say he is rapper, well ur wrong. Shinoda is rapper/rock/pop. listen to his music ppl, he is mor than just a rapper, and put him wit a guy like chester bennington(best vocalist of our time) an u got da best band ever. LINKIN PARK!!!!!!
Ok but your point is because Mike makes music rap/rock/pop means that he isn't a rapper. Dude this is real rap. Rap isn't gangster shit womens and drugs. Its about the problems in the world or at life. And i don't say that eminem doesn't rap about that, but you can't say that mike shinoda isn't a real rapper
trust me win i said that shinoda wasnt a rapper, i mean that as a compliment. the only rapper i hav ever liked is eminem, an as far as shinoda goes, i think of him as much mor than a rapper. so trust me it was a compliment:)
I'm guessing you've not heard every style of rap music have you? There's American Rap, Hip-hop and all that... But if you listen to young American rappers none of them compare to young English MCs in the grime genre. I've heard some that I'd say have a much better flow than Eminem, and they don't chat as much shit. Grime is very much different in instrumentals and you can't be a grime MC unless you're underground and it doesn't matter how many sales you make cos it's not about being mainstream.
I think African/Carribean-British are sorta 'wannabes'. I'm English. But I can't help but think that.. it's the same thing, different setting/accent.
The only English rapper I like is Akala. I agree Eminem is very mainstream, but it doesn't change the content of his songs. I think Shinoda is brilliant, though.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hahahaha im the retard?
im sorry i dident realise fort minor was british MC-in. good job jumping in the middle of a convo when you dont even know what the fuck your talking about kid.
looool oh please dont tell me you actually thought i spelt hardcore with an X. why dont you go google that shit, then come back with a real argument kay? :)
Shinoda's the only rapper that actually says words, all of the other rappers are like " Yo yo yo, money guns and hos nigga!" Mike is actually speaking English
thats wat rap is the rest is pop style hiphop out now this is rap rap is poetry if u think lil wayne is a type of rap ur a dumass this typ of rap is the only type of rap
well, i think this is right, he probably got that last name from his dad, cause my brother told me that mike shinoda's dad is japanese, or mom, look it up if you want
Thats why I slipped out the back before you knew I was there I know you felt unprepared But every single time I was around I just bring you down And I could tell that it was time to be scared Thats why I slipped out the back before you knew I was there And I know the way I left wasn't fair I didn't want to be around just to bring you down I'm not a hero but don't think I didn't care ... those words really touched me ...
I believe it is a metaphor for life. I can sort of relate to the lyrics, but it is my nature to be reserved at first.
The character described as "cowardly kid" doesn't like to expose himself to others and reveal who he is as he feels vulnerable. I think it is to protect himself and to also shield revealing his weaknesses as he states "But I had to protect you from me" and .
Personally, especially nowadays I do this too often "But in the truest parts of our hearts everybody's afraid"
I like your take on it. But I think it's about more than just fear. But how in life you have to do things you don't want to, for yourself, and other people. Also, making right decisions, and having somebody there for you, that will help you, and them. "I didn't wanna be around just to bring you down." So it tells us to keep moving, and don't stop until everything is right for everyone. But then again, that's what life is, so I totally agree with you.
It good to see different interpretations of the lyrical content and I can relate to what your saying. I mainly identify with the whole fear dynamic personally the song does address like you said people's responsibilities "I'm no hero, you remember how I was" and "Please remember this isn't how I hoped it would be".
Its good to see deep meaningful lyrics, hopefully FM releases some new music sometime soon.
but its like (totally DO NOT mean this in a rasist way) white rapper mixed with punk in a way type of raper. all rap has a differenr background. thats wat makes it wat it is
Eminem is a raper skilled in his own right, and some of his songs have a message. But he delivers that message in the typical raper way, with vulgarity and lack of maturity.
Thus, Mike Shinoda remains a superior song writer and sounds plain better.
Are you having a bubble about eminem being gay? Brilliant tune from FM but Eminem is on a different level - You mention he raps about guns girls and other crap - He's got such a big back catalogue of unreleased material you've probably never even heard its a joke. Search eminem in youtube and listen to some of the stuff you havent heard yet then come back and mention what eminem spends time rapping about.
No Apologize, Hailies Song, When Im Gone, We As Americans, Hellbound, When The Music Stops, Words Are Weapons, Mosh, Renegade, Scary Movie, Murder Murder, 313, Infinite, I Still Dont Give A Fuck, i can go on and on, im sure you havent heard most of these songs, so look em up, cya!
eminem is crazy with lyrics and you could tell when eminem raps seriously he really knows what to say not like little stupid gay rappers today. eminem just plays around sometimes thats why
i agree eminem no's how to rap but he wastes his talent rapping abou his family and shitty life, and today hes jsut another sell out like lil wayne :P

Eminem is a raper skilled in his own right, and some of his songs have a message. But he delivers that message in the typical raper way, with vulgarity and lack of maturity.
Thus, Mike Shinoda remains a superior song writer and sounds plain better.

Are you having a bubble about eminem being gay? Brilliant tune from FM but Eminem is on a different level - You mention he raps about guns girls and other crap - He's got such a big back catalogue of unreleased material you've probably never even heard its a joke. Search eminem in youtube and listen to some of the stuff you havent heard yet then come back and mention what eminem spends time rapping about.

I feel sorry for these guys who dont believe eminem is any good because they only listen to his main stream songs.

eminem is crazy with lyrics and you could tell when eminem raps seriously he really knows what to say not like little stupid gay rappers today. eminem just plays around sometimes thats why
