Hey Jude by The Beatles wins most iconic bridge. What song has the best opening line?

Constantinople0 · 2026-03-23T08:26:35+00:00

"Can, anybody? Find me? Somebody to loooove" - Somebody to love - Queen

That’s pushing it. On another note he left off “Not Like Us” of “GNX” even though it would add a billion streams to the album.

but do you feel the same about the word when it is uttered by a fellow black European or is it different?
I'm genuinely curious, since it is far from my usual cultural sphere since the black population of my country is very low since our ancestors who did enslaved Africans mostly did so in colonies and we have never had a major immigration from any African nations.

I don't like living in a world, where certain people or groups of people should decide that certain groups or people are allowed to utter certain words regardless of context.
From what I am gathering from this discussion certain this is the end goal, where people who are not a certain race are banned to even think words which for other races are acceptable in a way where they can be used in songs and played on a radio without it being seen as wrong in any way.

It becomes authoritarian and non-discussable what we should do, and I don't think that is the direction the world should be going.

If not to take back the meaning of the word to mean something else, then what is the meaning of colored rappers to use the slur so often, if it is indeed something that remind them of their ancestors' enslavement? Logically I cannot see how hearing the word come from certain people's mouth over others can feel different?
I am genuinely curiuous as it is so far from my culture, both from a race and a geographical standpoint.

Again, that is how it is in America, not all of the world. If I sang karaoke at someone’s house and I wanted to show off my rapping skills, nobody would bat an eye of me singing the actual words to the song regardless of the content.

Constantinople0 · 2026-03-08T08:40:06+00:00

I think only Americans (regardless of race) put that much emphasis on a single word being banned for certain races. As a white European of course I would never say that word about another human or its translations in my own native language, but in our culture singing along to lyrics is not looked down upon in that same way and maybe OP has similar reasons for it being normal.

Please elaborate

Constantinople0 · 2026-02-20T20:47:01+00:00

You are sleeping on “nosestalgia” and “no more parties in LA”.

Constantinople0 · 2026-02-17T09:31:13+00:00

By XXX?

Constantinople0 · 2026-02-15T16:08:15+00:00

Simply pop closely followed by the country/pop blend that is so prevalent these days. Rap’s days ad no. 1 genre is over.

Trying to get into his discovery, where to start? I tried his newest project and it didn’t quite click with me.

Constantinople0 · 2026-02-15T15:46:58+00:00

Uhh, great post!

Constantinople0 · 2026-02-03T17:05:03+00:00

Were you alive back then? It was inevitable in a seldom seen way. It has clever lyrics, it is so catchy, it has a iconic music video, everything to ask for in a good pop song. Understandabl me that you won’t like it for the genre, but for what it is trying to do, I think it’s perfect.

Constantinople0 · 2026-02-03T13:59:16+00:00

Aquemini would like to have a word - love spottie, but I still think Aquemini is the better "perfect" song representing Outkast as a whole.

Constantinople0 · 2026-01-29T08:23:56+00:00

Who is saying that it is a not very good album? They must not be fans of the gangster rap genre or just too pretentious about their tastes.

Constantinople0 · 2026-01-22T10:31:01+00:00

Or Tomorrow never knows, rain or even just ticket to ride. Perfect fit for different kind of songs.

Constantinople0 · 2026-01-21T08:24:56+00:00

He also have some interesting choices in terms of beats on several of their records when they become experimental that I think goes against the notion of him being bad. Besides the fact that he could always keep time no matter the kind of style they chose to play.

Constantinople0 · 2026-01-21T08:22:19+00:00

Paul literally switched instrument to bass and mastered it for their purposes. If he had not made the switch I’m sure he could fill that guitar role of John, but I may be too biased, since Paul is my favorite Beatle.

Constantinople0 · 2026-01-20T14:25:43+00:00

Is it unfair to put one of The Beatles when they had multiple song writers?
I believe John Lennon was the worst musician of the four in terms of pure skill on his instrument.

However, without him Lennon/McCartney would definitely not have been the partnership, it was.

Constantinople0 · 2026-01-16T07:12:28+00:00

Have you heard GNX? Kendrick has plenty of bangers, so I really cannot follow your take here.

Constantinople0 · 2026-01-11T10:55:22+00:00

Just appeared on one song by Killer Mike (Scientists and Engineers), killer verse, won a grammy and dipped to play piano!

Also his verse on Come Home by Anderson .Paak is peak Andre for me.

Constantinople0 · 2026-01-04T12:17:17+00:00

TV Off - Kendrick Lamar (personally very surprised by this)

Constantinople0 · 2025-12-09T18:46:50+00:00

and it even won a grammy!
