Why do you guys think "Low" resonated like it did? That always really baffled me.

It was a fun dance song that chicks liked. That's really all there is to it.

THE SONG IS CALLED "I LOVE COLLEGE"

yeah but there are lots of fun dance songs that chicks like... "Low" was like ridiculously successful, I think it was like the most downloaded song ever or something like that

maybe it's because it came at the height of t-pain-mania?
i was going to start a thread about this but basically, is eminem relevant anymore? i am hardly the ILM expert on hip hop but eminem just doesn't seem to fit in anymore (and not in a good iconoclastic way but in a sorry grampa kind of way). and the whole "record of 17 rapes, 400 assaults, and 4 murders, the undisputed, most diabolic villain in the world, Slim Shady!" thing (no i didn't have that memorized)...maybe i'm just getting along in years but that's just gross and it seems that the rap community has been trying to downplay the gangster image lately.
xpost okay what euro dancey stuff has been big in the US the last few years? serious question because i never listen to the radio.
― lil waynes babymama (musically), Thursday, 12 February 2009 03:41 (fifteen years ago) link
no eminem isn't relevant
― happy house of representatives (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 12 February 2009 03:42 (fifteen years ago) link
Eminem ceased to be relevent sometime around when he dropped Encore.

i didnt know 'mad' was charting (low, but w/e). this is cool. also, three beyonce songs on the charts is :)
nickelback somehow unkillable
xxxpost i dunno if he's relevant or not, but he's fucking EMINEM, he was the biggest pop star in the world for about 5 years wasnt he?
― some black dude (k3vin k.), Thursday, 12 February 2009 03:43 (fifteen years ago) link
aka people are going to buy his shit regardless
i dunno guys, he does have the #1 single so maybe he is relevant again.
― someone who seems to only rep for ghastly prefab autotuned pop (The Brainwasher), Thursday, 12 February 2009 03:43 (fifteen years ago) link
going #1 off itunes sales alone doesn't make you relevant necessarily

Have you somehow missed the whole "Euro-dance sounds in everything" trend that kicked off around, say, "Sexyback"? I would imagine not.
― i and i overstand ilx bomboclaat formatting n ting (The Reverend), Thursday, 12 February 2009 03:48 (fifteen years ago) link
it wasn't straight-up euro dance though, i'm thinking swedish hit factory type stuff, and not just borrowing certain elements, poker face isn't that exactly but it's the closest thing i have heard in a while. although i think cascada charted here so nm
xp okay can't eminem be irrelevant AND not be on the charts? can't i have it all?

White US pop stars appropiating black US music is dope and black US pop stars appropiating Euro music is dope but white US pop stars appropiating Euro music is THE WORST imo.

I didn't mean that categorically, even if it was phrased as such. Change all those "is"s to "can be"s.

also that new flo rida song sucks, i really hate those tracks which do nothing but relentlessly hammer a huge, obvious sample into your ears
btw, you guys know that 'whatever you like' peaked at no 47 over here :(

guys you're missing the silver lining here...the ascendance of Asher Roth may end up getting totally fucked up by Eminem coming back (and probably just very briefly) at the exact same time...plus 50 just took "Crack A Bottle" for his album, so i'm betting Em will push back his album at least another 6 months now.

Realized something about Flo Rida, and why I like him -- he reminds me of a Tommy Davidson sketch on In Living Color. Love "Right Round."
― Kate, Friday, 13 February 2009 15:57 (fifteen years ago) link
you know what, I just realized that Flo Rida is the new Nelly. Great pop-rap jamz.

the last nelly album actually had a couple of good trax on it but i agree, even then it's tough to care any more
― lex pretend, Saturday, 14 February 2009 10:13 (fifteen years ago) link
and those trax weren't as good as 'in the ayer' or 'low' so the point still stands
not as good az as in the ayer or low = kinda sad
