Grammys

I did the same thing. Well…except for the "painting shelves" part.

Only when Kanye Hammer is on the Grammys. Hip hop and contemporary country are at the bottom of the music barrel for me.

Two MC Hammer references in the same thread, and one equating him with Kanye West.

You really don't listen to Hip Hop do you?

:D

I just kind of find Arrested Development too jarring…and it *is* packed with references, witticisms, etc., but are the witticisms *that* witty? I probably haven't watched it enough to truly comment, but I'm not compelled to…

So, what qualifies you to make that comparison? A P. Diddy/Hammer comparison would be more accurate.

Just my opinion, dude.

well, P Diddy and Hammer are nothing alike in my opinion. Hammer was pretty talentless and relied on silly outfits and catchy videos/songs to gain popularity. P Diddy was a producer that decided to step out and make a record. he's a great producer, bad singer/rapper. same with Pharell Williams.

imagine if Bob Rock or Nigel Godrich tried to make a CD

i have never heard Kanye West, but his name is lame as all get out, and he's probably just a lot of hype….hence Rhetts Hammer comparison….

yeah and he hops around with really goonie dance moves


what was up with the J-Lo and Marc Anthony number? my Spanish was too rusty to follow it…but it looked like it was supposed to be a campy play on the TV Novellas? if so…that might have been the freshest act on the whole show

We could argue about him being a "great" producer.

Kanye West was also a producer before he put out his debut album. He's different in that he balances the line between Top 10 hip-hop (Jay-Z, Ludacris) and some of the less mainstream artists like Talib Kweli and Mos Def.

He's not the best Rapper on the Mic lyrically, but his production is top notch and he's got good flow.

What instruments does he play, and can he sing?

I know this thread is supposed to me on the Grammys, but I have to chime in on "Arrested Development." It is by far the funniest television show since Seinfeld. Tremendous comedic acting and splendid wit in the writing. I have to watch each episode a few times to absorb each clever line or reference.

One doesn't know what they are talking about comparing the television atrocity that is the Grammys with "Arrested Development."

Well, you won't have to worry about watching "Arrested Development" for too much longer. As David Cross said the other night on the Jimmy Kimmel show,production has been halted! He said he found out on the internet of all places."Why call me,I'm only a cast member" he remarked. He predicted that the wonderful Fox network would replace the show with an "actual reality show starring real retards" possibly a dating show……who knows?….America,enjoy your "Still Standing","Yes,Dear" and "Everybody Loves Raymond",you deserve it……

whats his favourite colour and does he like to fish?

Yes he can sing…though not very well.

I don't know what equipment he uses in the studio. I'd imagine a couple of sequencers, possibly some software like Reason or Cuebase, a synthesizer, and a drum machine, but I'm not sure.

here's an article about arrested development. apparently it's not canceled, but they cut back from 22 episodes to 18, and it won't be on during may sweeps, giving way to the latest crock of shit from the family guy dude.

It's THAT shite is it?

Seriously…..I never got the humour in Seinfeld, Friends or the Simpsons. South Park is hilarious if you're in the mood, but even it gets old sometimes.

I'm still not over the novelty of being able to watch Black Adder, Royle Family, Only Fools and Horses, The Office and Porridge on UKTV Gold to watch anything current, although the one glimpse I saw of Arrested Development looked pretty funny.

I thought he did something on the New Danger. I know Mos appeared on College Dropout for one of the tracks.

I guess you bastards over there get the first crack at the new Gervais/Merchant series and I'll have to wait for it a year later on BBC America! Dammit! At least one reason to "love the limeys"…… :p
