R Kelly - National Anthem

hip hop ain't going away. get over it.

 

Disco will last forever man!

 

how many people said the same thing about rock and roll 50 years ago?

hip-hop is here to stay.

 

hip hop has lasted alot longer than disco. people have been predicting it to be a fad to go away for about 15 years now. hip hop has now been around for almost 30 years.

 

Soul music is dead.

The funk of the '70s is dead.

Rock is almost dead.

Disco is dead.

Nobody does the Jitterbug anymore.

Things change. Nothing last forever.

 

nothing lasts forever, but until something comes along to replace hip hop, it won't go away. I just don't see anything else that kids are listening to that will replace it anytime soon.

 

r kelly IS soul music

i would argue that things evolve...

chuck berry, buddy holly, little richard
to
the beatles, the stones, the who, velvet underground
to
floyd, led zep, aerosmith
to
ramones, sex pistols, the clash
to
motley crue, iron maiden
to
rem, sonic youth, u2
to
guns n' roses, janes addiction, living colour
to
smashing pumpkins, nirvana, pearl jam
to
radiohead, ect, ect...

 

I am no conservative, but I do find it offensive that someone wouldn't sing the national anthem in a more somber tone. That said, I would suggest we get rid of this ritual. People come to watch the ballgame, nothing more. It tends to trivialize the diginity of the national anthem when you have those *artists* on stage trying to improvise the song to absurdity. By the way, if you really feel the only to get patriotic is to sing the national anthem, sing it and play it as many times as you want in your own home.

 

I don't listen to much hip hop anymore, but my opinion doesn't count. its the kids in college and h.s. who decide what's popular in music.

 

I thought the same thing about rock music. Plus you just get old.

 

That's what I was going to say. I think rap is already infusing itself with pop music and its becoming beat driven electronica.

I'm sure there will be "roots" rap, but even roots reggae became dancehall.

 

Even cold November rain.

 

i perfer the anthem to be sung the orignal way, NOT the damn remixes or renditions these singers make. Marvin Gaye's version is the only exception. God i used to hate it when they have Boyz to Men sing it.

 

REPORTED.
You did not Mention RUSH.
SHAME!!!!!

Although a shout out for throwing Radiohead out there.
They are in my top 5 favorites.

Aerosmith is the worst band listed above

 

i dont like rush or aerosmith. my point was to show that music is always evolving.

and YIKES, this thread and my r. kelly fandom has aged poorly.

at least we still have puff daddy and gary glitter though!

 

Could not tell you one R. Kelly song.
Seems like he has a healthy prostate though.

 

Hip hop is forever

 

No R&B without
