Decline Of Humanity...

"First of all sorry this had to be long...



Out of all the hacks, out of everything in the recent years that has inch by inch destroyed hip hop and rap as we know it, these guys may have played one of the biggest factors.



Almost 20 years has passed since the milestone -Straight Outta Compton- by the now disbanded NWA. 20 years of pure gangsta rap straight from the heart played to all those who choose to listen to it. Then we had the rise of G-Funk and so called artists during the early 90's who proved to be up to par with true rap. We were given classics from Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg (his early stuff is much better than what you hear today), the late Tupac, Biggie ( I never really enjoyed Biggie, but hey, icon...), The D.O.C. (tragic that his voice got F-ed up), and many more worthy of being named. Remember the days where rap was enjoyed by many, throughout the nation (especially on the coasts)? The nation flourished (or not) with the praise and love for the music that was only deemed as classics by artists who would be remembered for more than one year.



How, from all of this, has humanity allowed such history to be destroyed, and this new modern bull to be allowed to ruin the legacy of a once great genre? If most of the alive forerunners of hip-hop/rap had the decency of their hearts, they should beat the living s*** out of each any every disgrace in this genre.



Already the title of this laughable group is enough to call it quits for a day as "artists". Your first glimpse of the cover on this immediatly-commercialized material tells you that each and every one of these guys, regardless of character, dignity, or intelligence, don't give a rat's a** about the rap game and that they need money to buy mansions next to Fiddy, along with big-rimmed cars, a bunch of lazy hoes, and the debt that they owe on unpaid online porn accounts.



The music, downright, is the worst part about this mess. In my high school there is this "rap group" called "Red Haze" that apparently were trying to bring the pureness back in rap. Apparently all the members, except one, are anoyying as hell, especially the Russian one (no racism intended). The two African American ones are alright as rap attitudes go, but the music they listened to consisted of The Game, Nas, Jay-Z, Nelly, Lil John, Dem Franchize Boyz (another hole in humanity), and these excuses.

Soon the Russian started to bring a friggen computer speaker to school and hooked it up to his CD player somehow, instantly playing really bad rap and hip hop from the likes of 50 Cent to Eminem to Usher and Kanye West (whom I despise). Then when I thought it couldn't get any worse, on the bus when he got on he put some shuffle feature on and out of the speaker plays "Laffy Taffy", one of the most apparently enjoyed, overplayed, overrated, p**s-poor excuses for a track dedicated to rap. For some idiotic reason, everyone in the back dances like it's the new s*** and that it rox their sox. Everyone that is except for somebody I know as kind of a friend who likes Thrash and general Metal (old Metallica/Megadeth/Slayer/Anthrax) and other metal. He immediately stood up in f-ing anger and started to get in the Russian's face saying how s***** rap music is (modern rap) and how "Red Haze" was gonna be defunct because it is worth s***. More disses occured until the Russian pushed him and then got kneed in the stomach without the bus driver knowing. Now the Russian is back in Russia and "Red Haze" is defunct, and I couldn't be happier.



Anyways "Laffy Taffy" is degrading to anything that is in it or listens to it (the lyrics are something a perv can come up with). Everything that comes out of these guys mouths are degrading and the beats they blast are poor as hell. This generation (my generation) and coming generations are eating this like pizza and Jamba Juice, and we need to help wash this garbage away from the Swarm and show them true music. If you want real rap head on down memory lane and pick up anything from Run DMC, NWA, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, early Snoop Dogg, the D.O.C., Ice Cube, Wu Tang Clan, Das FX I think, to Tupac.



Let this dung ho rot as destiny intended..."

Words can't describe.....

"I can't believe someone would actually produce these clowns called D4L....they are THE worst rap group, it pisses me off because they suck so bad and are giving rap a bad name. Dance Music???? Their melodies suck ass, their appearance is so disguisting i wanna throw up, and who ever likes this group has no taste in music."

Are You F***ing Kidding Me?!

"Why? Why in the hell would ANYONE buy this type of stuff? Even to dance to. This album isn't good for anything. Why the hell would you buy it? Just... why? This... this isn't even crap... It's below that. This album doesn't even deserve a 1 star. I'm wondering what deaf ears are enjoying this... There is not one good thing I can say about this group. Overnight success is about the only thing... and I'm wondering just how in the hell that happened. This album, no, this group needs to be thrown in a junk pile. What happened to good music? ANYBODY CAN BE RICH IF YOU CAN PUT STUFF LIKE THIS OUT AND GET PAID OVER A QUARTER!!! I'm serious, if these cats can go platinum, Mentally ill children can too."
