Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
That was good too. That guy is talented. He has a way of combining pretty tunes with a little rap so that people who don't generally listen to rap will actually like it. Thanks.
fren you know my favorite part about that Country Roads video? it isn't some hollywood greenscreen or hired model bs - its basically a family home movie. right down to the drunk uncle tryna dance lmao! but, for real - my grandpa said this video reminded him of old home movies and that made me always see the video in a diff way - it takes a different perspective to see the beauty of art sometimes.
(sorry that I talk too much btw)
hey look, i make rap - i say without a doubt "rap" is responsible for me being alive at 35 (Well, 34 for a couple more weeks LOL) - and it's 90% of what i listen to
i'll also say whatever pops in your mind when you think of "rap music" i probably hate more than you do lmao!
I can't stand songs with nothing to say, and today's rap is just disco for a new generation. catchy beat where the lyrics dont matter long as theyre catchy too. right? lol
That said - since you put it the way you did.... i want you to try this
my grandpa i took care of (rip buddy i miss ya!) was the last person to ever think he'd like anything "rap" but - he loved country roads
so, i showed him this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AltjBNZOjek
i'll never forget that thanksgiving where he insisted I showed my uncle mike that video. as in, he brought it up about 4 times during dinner to the point my uncle finally went I KNOW DAD, I'LL WATCH IT AFTER WE EAT. lmao.
Like, muscular dystrophy robbed everything from that man. so, anything that gave him a smile was something I embraced.
Anyway, even if this isn't "your thing" just remember: it made that ol' fella happy. lol
54 millions views. Wow. Your granpa was responsible for a bunch of them, lol.
btw if you didnt catch the drunk uncle that i mentioned in the video - go to right about the 3 min mark. maybe a few seconds earlier like 2:55 lol. that guy cracks me up in the background but ya everyone in this song was either family or friends that treated eachother like family and thats awesome to me.
The guy with the Georgia shirt, lol?
lol maybe one or two (thousand)
