and they re always glad you came rap star tupac shakur died last night after a brief life in a rough business. he was 25. shakur has been at the center of a battle between east and west coast rappers. for the second time in six months, a star in the often brutal world of gangsta rap has been gunned down. music industry sources on the west coast suspect that smalls death may in some way be payback for the september killing of rap star tupac shakur. when tupac and biggie were assassinated, it was a watershed moment i think in hip-hop culture.
i m a loser, baby, so why don t you kill me beck is defining what s happening now with that mesh of styles. he s mixing electronic, country, rap, rock n roll, everything. everything. he s throwing the kitchen sink in. out of the ashes of nirvana, dave grohl created the foo fighters. this is the first time in my life i ve ever fronted a band, had to actually stand up and sing. and seem charismatic or whatever, which i can t do. but i need to just keep playing and making music. looking to the sky to save me looking for a sign of life looking for something to help me burn out bright in an era when everything was serious and had a heavy tone, especially after kurt cobain s death, the foo fighters create the learn to fly music video. they found this perfect balance
slim shady you a basehead and dre s behind it? he s in. he s in! he s not trying to be black. he s not pretending he has these great urban stories. he s telling his story, portraying lower middle-class white life. which hip-hop had not done before. i think that s why he was so appealing to so many people. the kids in america that always had a sufficient amount of money and a different pair of clothes to wear to school each day of the week. those type of kids, they admire poor people that have nothing to lose. eminem saw the logical conclusion of 20-odd years of hip-hop. and white kids listening to hip-hop were now deciding, we need to create our own thing. my name is slim shady al challenge. that s why i use the freestyle libre 2 system. with a painless, one-second scan i know my glucose numbers without fingersticks. now i m managing my diabetes better and i ve lowered my a1c from 8.2 to 6.7.
i think he was the closest that his generation came to a john lennon. yeah. in that he was writing very much from the heart, very directly, and he didn t play according to the rules. i was 16 when that happened. and if you turned to music for solace in your life, to then see your hero kill himself, it was devastating. it certainly sucked the air out of alternative rock. you know, the best band fell apart after only making a couple records. you know? what do you do after that? oasis, the verve, blur, the britpop thing, it was like the hangover of grunge. oh my god, my head s pounding. this has been insane. let s turn on oasis. and after all you re my wonderwall they were the opposite of nirvana because they wanted
