When I was growing up rap used to be the poo. Radio played eminem, 50 cents, TI and many others. Now radio is full of trance and techno... When I moved to US, everyone used to make fun of Europeans but it's seems US is slowly drifting in that direction... When I heard Armin Van Buuren on 95.1 the other day I was like wtf is happening?

I understand that everyone has different musical tasts and preferences, like for example I much prefer the Singer/Songwriter and Indi genre to pretty much anything else, but that's manly because I enjoy my music being more lyrical.

 

but out side of Jay Z and Macklemore there isnt a single rap artist I'd waste my time listening to, now that doesn't mean there aren't other ones worthy out there, but just in my opinion right now there isn't.

 

Electric and Techno music is greatly based on being original and being different from everyone else, like Daft Punks latest "Random Access Memories" making Disco cool again, and who would have ever thought that would happen again, Skrillex created a new sub genre altogether with Dubstep and and many other musical groups have adopted it and his Bass drop. it's just a more progressive music right now then anything else.

Not that I'm a big dubstep guy, but Skrillex certainly had nothing to do with the creation of the genre.  He had a role in popularizing it in the States, but dubstep predates Skrillex.

You would willingly subject yourself to Macklemore, but shun every other hip hop/rap artist? Yikes.

They're not replacing it with techno and trance. I would call it electronic-influenced pop-music. Techno would be stuff like Adam Beyer, Victor Calderone, Sven Vaeth, Richie Hawtin, etc. They wouldn't play that stuff in a million years. And as for Armin's debut on Kiss 95.1, that's a pop song from a once-respected trance artist/DJ. He opened up his set at UMF in Miami with Clarity for crying out loud. Teeny boppers loved it. I felt like throwing up. And don't even get me started on Avicii's "Wake Me Up."

      2026 DRAFT

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think a premier ILB in the Panther's tradition (Beason, Mills, Luke, Morgan) would be the best pick and the best way to improve this team. Here me out---those of you screaming for QB need to realistically approach the situation.  We are not drafting a QB early barring a late season Young meltdown.  Bryce is getting a fifth year--and he will start in 2026 and probably in 2027 barring some major meltdown.  This season has a ton of "fallen angels" or QBs with the skill set to develop into an NFL starter.   In the second or third round, you draft your possible qb of the future.  Scratch these probable first rounders: however, the next six or seven have tremendous potential, and if you draft a QB like the Packers do and develop him for 2-3 seasons, these QBs would give us an upgrade at #2 QB and 2 years to groom him in the event Bryce does not earn a huge second contract. About WR:  Coker is a solid #3 and Horn gives us a thrilling option on STs and in the slot.  He was a nice pick.  TMac needs a strong #2.  XL does not seem that interested in the job, and he seems a bit over his head in the NFL.  Yes, we could use a solid WR, but I am not sure a rookie.  I think we pinch some pennies and redo some OL contracts and make WR our biggest priority in free agency.  Draft a sleeper late. Tight End:  Do we have enough there?  I really like Mitchell, but I am not sure about Sanders and Tremble is who he is.  Do we have a threat?  I think Bryce loves his checkdowns and underneath routes--he's not had a Stud TE.  I want one.  (platonic)  They are usually still available in round 3. Safety:  Not sure we have the center fielder we need at FS.  Moehrig and Ransom might be the same thing.  And if it were not for Doc in "Back to the Future," nobody in Charlotte would ever say "Great Scott!"  We need a smart, defensive QB at S, in my opinion. Of course, OL (center, T) could be in play, but I like Mays as the starter at C and Moton could play another season or two.  We need to start grooming guards, but we have depth there now. My draft day order, by position: Linebacker  Have we ever been good without the best ILB in the NFL?  I don't think so. (3-4 now, but we run some 4-3 looks) QB #2 with long-term starting potential  (I like so many second-tier QBs.  one or two of them will become NFL starters.  Mark my words) Tight End  (lotta folks might disagree here, but a big-time, viable option to go with Mitchell, Sanders, and Tremble) Safety  (we need a QB for the D--Moehrig and Ransom are similar) Tackle (Moton is getting old and we need to start grooming a potential replacement) WR  (this late IF we sign a free agent) Center (I like Mays, but his contract status and the depth at C needs to be addressed)

      Saints opening line

      By uncfan888 · Posted

      Panthers open as 4.5 point favorites. You get three points for being at home so Vegas thinks we are only 1.5 points better than the one win saints..  Tells you what they think about the team and our ability to score
