A E-40 - Go Hard or Go Home



B Ed Schrader's Music Beat - Radio Eyes

[bungo the mungo]

i'll try not to hurt the feelings of whoever picked A by just saying that this genre of music is a million miles away from what i like.

not too impressed with B either, but at least it was short.

a very worrying start to the third round. i hope things pick up.

B

[oh oooh]

A was very very bad. I'll leave it at that.

B was OK. I think I'd want to kill them if I heard any more than 2 minutes THO

[DarknessFish]

A should have some understanding for those who can't go hard, Pele should have a word with you. It's a bit silly, pointless posturing, feels like a Busta Rhymes cast-off. Lame as Fred Durst after he's accidentally stood on a piece of lego bare-footed. I like the quieter bit with the 8-bit sounding backing, pity about the main theme, really.

B's quite fun, I think, that big fuzzy, muddy guitar and a stupid vocal chant. Like a beefed-up nod in the direction of Colin Newman's "S-S-S-Star Eyes". I don't know how much farther this schtick could schtretch, but it easily does enough to carry this bout.

E-40 doesn't work for me for some reason..Maybe a bit overproduced...Radio Eyes has a lo-fi charm..Vote B

[toomanyhatz]

Hate to mention wheelhouses again, but these are both fairly ordinary examples of genres that are generally not in mine.

A comes a little closer, but has little of the inventiveness of the best of it.

[Deleted]

A is pretty generic, the best I can say is that it has enough going on in its rhythms to give it a certain momentum.

I really can't think of anything positive to say about B. It's just unlistenable.

A

[fange]

A was ok, not really the kind of stuff i listen to much now. B got a bit annoying i'm afraid, felt much longer than 2+ mins.



A

[osgood]

Both fuckin' awful. Thanks for nothing to both players. B could win by being shorter and not being hip hop.


Hmmm



What the fuck, abstain.

[fearlessfreap]

Oakland hip hop -- I wonder who picked this?
A

[morgan]

Both rather foul but B is slightly less foul than A

B

[Half Machine Lipschitz]

I don't feel like saying anything about either of these, I'm afraid.

B

[Sneelock]

I'll take up the slack. I can talk until my tongue falls out - ask anybody.

I'm going A.. I understand that there's a sameness to a lot of that stuff but there IS a spirit of "sonic manipulation" that I respond to & that track has plenty of that. Also, there's some variety in having more than one voice.
I'd like the other if it was either shorter or broke off into something very different before it was over.

[fonz]

So.. ok.. I’ll just say it. A is rubbish(e)

B is pretty cool, like XTC on megaspeed: B

[~ / % ? *]

enjoyed both, liked both


B

feels a little more now
