Hip hop is saved, but music is doomed. Or something like that.

I've recently started listening to hip hop a lot, mostly thanks to my friends and comrades who presented Kid Cudi to me. My friend Connor Martin let me listen to the song "Soundtrack 2 My Life" at the indoor track state finals this year, and I fell in love immediately. Then I started listening to Kanye West again (what a boss!), B.o.B. and so forth.

Speaking of B.o.B., I haven't really listened to a lot of his stuff before--in fact, I had never even heard of him until recently. But then I was informed that he was doing a song with Hayley Williams (who I love) so I decided to take a listen. Listen to the song, Airplanes, here. I really dig it.

Also, listening to that song helps me drown out American Idol, which my mother is watching right now. This guy sucks. The only reason he's still on is because slutty girls think he's hot. However, this guy, Lee DeWyze, I really like. Don't call me gay (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I think I would actually consider buying a record by him.

That's enough about American STUPID! That's my new name for American Idol.

By the way, you know who I'm really, really tired of? Him. I guess it could be worse though. At least the Bieber Brothers isn't a band yet. I'm not sure if the correct grammar is "aren't a band yet?" or "isn't a band yet." Help?

I guess I should have paid attention in English 11.

I'm going to go back in time now to when I was talking about hip hop. Hip hop is waaaaaaaaay better than rap, specifically Lil Wayne. What a joke. Kid Cudi and B.o.B. actually rap (hip hop?) about things that matter, and their lyrics aren't all about bangin' hoes and getting high as a kite.

I mean, those are the only two important things in the world, but still.

I guess my point is that, with the exception of Green Day, I hate popular music. I just can't figure out how this band is popular, and how Lil Wayne is popular, and how Ke$ha is popular. Seriously, anybody with a $ in their name should be placed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by very, very hungry sharks.

Oh well. Hopefully this will all change by morning.

It's time for me to go now. I have to go practice my Christian Bale-Batman voice for my school's musical version of The Dark Knight. It's gonna be spectacular!

(There is no musical version of The Dark Knight. Although that would be pretty sweet).

Oh yeah, and I fully understand that I still suck at this, but you have to give it time. Insulting me is like insulting Tom Crean, or Barack Obama. That being, insulting somebody who's just getting started.

Okay, that's it for now. Hopefully I can come up with something valid to write about pretty soon. And for all you faithful followers out there, a Twitter account for the Indy Metro Boys is possibly in the works, I just need to discuss with the second hottest guy on the planet first, a.k.a. my partner in crime, a.k.a. the other member of this blog.

In case you were wondering, I'm the hottest guy on the planet. Sorry David!

  1. Would I like Kid Cudi? Keep in mind that the only rap I like is about four Jay-Z songs and three Eminem songs, and "I'm on a Boat."

  2. I think you would. You should give him a try. He reminds me a lot of older Kanye West, so I don't know if you like that or not, but I think he's grand. Listen to "Soundtrack 2 My Life" first though. I know the fact that there's a 2 instead of the word "to" isn't promising, but I really like that song.
