Listening to Gangster Of Love and Assassins, makes me remember just how influential and entertaining these guys were, they never took themselves all that seriously which made me instantly love them, even back in 1990! great rap group, and icons in the genre!!

I have to admit I liked the Geto Boys too back in the day...liked how they used the Skynyrd sample for "Gangster of Love". "My Mind's Playin' Tricks on Me" is a cool song also...

Rick Rubin canned the Joker, and had Red(the dj) experiment with different old school rock guitar trax, the other one thats out there, but next to impossible to find is the Gangster Of Love with George Thurgood Bad To The Bone guitar riff in the song, by far the best version is that with Skynard! it's alot more smooth and flows along alot better!

As rubbish as it is, as far as rap went these guys and NWA were about the only 2 groups that did provide some harmless fun. I remember back in my easily influenced days when I didn't really like any music of any sort, these guys were regulars on my playlists. :lol:

This is one of the foulest, most immature, vulgar, crass, misogynist, sexist, songs of recent memory, the filth that is presented in Gangster Of Love is horrendous, just look at this lyric from it, rapped by jamaican midget Bushwick Bill,

 

"Oh cathy, that hoe was hot,

the first piece of pussy that i ever got.

she fucked me til i was cummin,

put my nuts in her mouth, and started hummin.

i said, shit, um its ejecting.

she started scratching my dillbag and said hold up a second.

turn me over on my back gold,

opened up my butt cheeks and started lickin out my asshole.

thats why i guess that im the gangsta.

and oh ya, cathleen johnson, sweetheart, i'd like to thank ya"

 

can you believe this vile garbage?

 

he he he

I always like "My Minds Playing Tricks On Me".

 

I went through a faze where I hung out with a couple of guys that really liked Rap so it was always playing in their cars so I got to know most of the groups. Thank God those days are over.

I think the Geto Boys are largely accepted by listeners of all generes, because they were unique, they made for entertaining listening and used alot of old rock samples to let people know they respect and listen to white music, especially Willie D, he gave an interview one time saying when he was in jail, they were watching The Box, and John Cougar Mellencamps video came on for Jack And Diane, he almost got into a fight with some other black guy that wanted to watch it, and he didnt, but he gave in, and after watching that video has never really listened to much rap again, his favorite artist is James Taylor! LOL!

      Motley Crue signed with the country label from Tennessee Big Machine Rec.. New song Dogs of War relased on Friday the 26th. Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s

      Rising from the Ruins

      Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.

      While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      DEEP PURPLE Announces New Album '=1' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET DEEP PURPLE, one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, "=1", on July 19 via earMUSIC. The first single will be unveiled on April 30 at midnight, a taster for the full 13 tracks of pioneering and rip-roaring rock and roll. "=1" is the band's first album with sensational guitarist Simon McBride, who seamlessly slotted in when longtime member Steve Morse left due to personal circumstances. Since 2022, Simon has already played to DEEP PURPLE audiences totalling more than half a million people. ith three consecutive No. 1 albums in their back pocket and a resurgent new energy powering them forward, this is DEEP PURPLE at their pinnacle. "Now WHAT?!" (2013),"inFinite" (2017) and "Whoosh!" (2020) have sold over one million copies worldwide, making DEEP PURPLE one of the most successful rock bands currently active. The latest studio album, "Whoosh!", reached No. 1 on the album charts in seven countries and charted in the top 10 in another 12. "=1" track listing: 01. Show Me 02. A Bit On The Side 03. Sharp Shooter 04. Portable Door 05. Old-Fangled Thing 06. If I Were You 07. Pictures Of You 08. I'm Saying Nothin' 09. Lazy Sod 10. Now You're Talkin' 11. No Money To Burn 12. I'll Catch You 13. Bleeding Obvious In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse's departure due to personal circumstances, but DEEP PURPLE, never a band to let a set back throw them off course, sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and excitement. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.
