NWA, Grandmaster Flash, and Run DMC were all huge. geto boys weren't. They never made an impact on the general public. Their only mainstream exposure was a 2 minute clip in a movie from 20 years ago.

Rap nerds are even worse than rock nerds 'omg you don't know the lyrics to thrak by king crimson what were you raised in a cave?? don't you know how influential they were in the progressive rock scene?? blah blah blah about time shifting and genre defying and other nonsense 99% of the music buying audience doesn't care about'

OMG YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE GERMS HOLY SHIT DON'T YOU KNOW PAT SMEAR WAS IN NIRVANA FOR 10 MINUTES?????

LOL! @ maks

Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?

Which is exactly why Geto Boys had such a large cultural impact on west-coast hip hop, right?

That's basically like saying Dilated Peoples never made an impact either.

Nobody has had a bigger cultural impact on the world of hip hop than Will Smith

No... the comparison would be people would know the lyrics to Come as You Are...

Scarface is to Geto Boys as Dave Grohl is to Nirvana....

Duh...

That's clearly photoshopped. There's no way the penis looks pixelated like that in real life.

That CANNOT be his hair color in real life, either.

influence on others in the industry != exposure to the general public

nudeswirl, melvins, kyuss, there's a ton of multiplatinum bands who would list them in their top 5 influences, I'll bet you don't know any of their lyrics though.

nirvana had like 5 #1 hits, geto boys hit the charts once at #23. apples and oranges. geto boys is a footnote in scarface's career, nothing more.

I'm pretty sure all three of those bands are alternative rock (which I don't listen too).

Sooooo.... one guy made a reference to a song lyric.... and now all this? ;)

But they're hugely influential! How could you miss them???

The reason I brought it up with Lisa, is because she supposedly is supposed to be into rap (or apparently Eminem).

I didn't bring that up for exactly no reason whatsoever. If it's a genre you like, then a constructive debate is reasonable. If I however just randomly posted that video and said "NONE U KNOW BOUT THIS", then yeah, you might have an constructive argument.

Scarface exists today because of Geto Boys

Dave Grohl exists today because of Nirvana

Obviously comparing the level of influence and social impact between Geto Boys and Nirvana is silly...

The lead singer blew his face up with a shotgun.


....then he did the Headless Boogie.

lisa doesn't know anything outside of eminem, for the purposes of this discussion she might as well be the general public. I know a fuckton about music, so of course I've heard of the geto boys, I don't expect anyone else to know them though.

and while we're on the subject, rap begins and ends with nas

why are you guys always editing your posts?

Anyway, you really don't want to go there. eazy-e died of aids, I've got a huge upper hand if we're going to have this argument.

I'm surprised you didn't fit Kanye West somewhere in that theory.

Fuck, I might as well go ahead and say Boyz II Men were the greatest old-school rappers alive if we're on the subject of switching up and confusing styles and sub-genres.
