Feist Remix - Monogamous

[gormarx]

Why do these dumb motherfuckers have to ghetto everything down?

[debruh]

What rap song did you remix this with?

I think its brilliant :)

[petoonia]

Feist herself likes hip hop so I'm she'd love it.

[stevesays77]

I like it. I love hip hop and lovethe song...nice.

[mstuart1988]

the people arguing and trying to use big words and generally being dicks in these comments are totally gay

[avalanchesoul]

y'know, i like hip hop an' all, but next to feist's music, rap is just so pedestrian low brow--despite who is rapping.

[java81]

People who use "pedestrian" are so verbose and sophomoric.

Really though? How can you discount a whole genre, movement? How in the world can hip hop/rap be "pedestrian" when it's influenced a generation in the clothes they wear, to how they talk, consume, live? I'm not sure Feist can say that much despite her being amazingly talented.

[avalanchesoul]

clever. i like how you juxtaposed your critique of my use of the word "pedestrian" with "verbose" and "sophomoric."

uh, the tact you take in the defense of hip hop using, basically, the consumerism aspect of the lifestyle does not exactly do it justice in response to it being labeled pedestrian.

btw, i've practiced any combination of 3 of the 4 corners (you should know what that means) since '83, so i'm not exactly some outsider hating on hip hop.

Do you realize how hypocritical you are here? Your being fairly grandiloquent yourself... In any case I have to, in a way, agree with avalanchesoul. hip hop just doesn't take the same skill and artistic talent that other forms of music require. Guys talking to a beat vs. Singing to a melody. And how likely it is that the hip hop artist created the beat itself? I'm not so sure.

[java81]

Ah yeah *genius* that was the point. Avalanchesoul seemed to get that. Since you don't get sarcasm. I don't really mean that you're a genius.

Is it really just a guy talking to a beat? Is Shakespeare just clever metered rhyme? I mean he doesn't even do it to a beat. Rap is a folk art, like blues, country, etc. It's not high-brow necessarily, but that doesn't mean than it's any less of an art form. And to say that just makes you an elitist, or something worse.

[lyjahbaer]

I wasn't saying it was a lesser art form, thats purely subjective. I was saying the talent called for is greater in a musical sense. If we are talking about poetry thats an entirely different argument. How does this make me an elitist? You may be misinterpreting my comment, I only agreed 'in a way' and that way being musical talent and complexity.

Your comparisons are fairly far fetched. Comparing Feist to Hip Hop is akin to saying LL Cool J didn't influence culture as heavily as Rock and Roll.

[ooooooooooooO111]

@lyjahbaer their are artists in hip hop , who produce their owns records , dj the cutz , spit the rhymes , and every other intangible thing that goes into making music , comparing complexity lol and difficulty is dumb , just appreciate the music

[avalanchesoul]

i realize it's been two weeks since you and dude went at it, but i just re-ran across this and wanted to elaborate.

i don't agree with dude's take on "talent" and whatnot. dude was kinda putting words in my mouth. when i say pedestrian i'm just making the case that hip hop hasn't yet reached a level of abstraction to reveal the full emotional range other forms of music can reflect.

[ooooooooooooO111]

@java81 well said , and also people should keep in mind that feist likes hip hop , and has been on a few underground hip hop records , if she understands the difference of musicality within the genre of hip hop why can''t other people , stop degrading other peoples art.

every breath that is in your lung is a tiny little gift for me

[chadwickhjones]

I like hearing her breaths...

[FeistFanInsideAndOut]

No rap... You ruined it!

[greenyKIZ]

sounds good but i hear everytime she takes breath...

[gibscharles123]

it's not that bad. and surely, it's unique :) which is admirable on any note.
