Rafaela 477 Skrevet 24. November (edited) Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio, released in 1995, became a huge global hit, won a Grammy in 1996, and has garnered over 1.89 billion views on YouTube, transcending generations. The song gained significant notoriety for being part of the soundtrack of the film "Dangerous Minds" (1995), starring Michelle Pfeiffer, which portrays the world of marginalized youth in a school. The song's melody originates from a sample (a sound excerpt taken from a pre-existing song) of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" (1976), and he only authorized it on the condition that the lyrics did not contain profanity or offensive language. “The lyrics reveal the routine of those who live in a "gangsta paradise," a term used ironically because it questions, among other things, the collective blindness that prevents people from perceiving the damage caused by this reality…” Gangsta’s Paradise - Coolio feat. Larry Sanders (also credited as composer of the music)… Amazing…. Video with over 1.89 billion views. Coolio's performance on David Letterman Redigeret 24.

"Gangsta's Paradice" is a really great song - thank you for the three videos ... I found a song by Offspring about the same subject ... I think that too is a really great song ... Interesting by the way how 'music changes through the years' (on the charts) Rock and punk more or less vanished from mainstream and was replaced by rap - because youth in particular in the cities became much more culturally diverse, and rock is the music of the white working class kids ...

I'm glad you liked it; sensitivity to art is an admirable quality... sneræven skrev, den 25.11.2025 at 23:09: and rock is the music of the white working class kids ... Yes, that's the impression…and although rock has become popular among young white people, its origins comes from a fusion of rhythms like blues, gospel, jazz, rhythm and blues...all rooted in African American culture and black artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix are considered pioneers and central figures in shaping the genre. For a long time I was addicted to "My Chemical Romance," a band that mixes genres such as: gothic rock, punk rock, alternative rock, post-hardcore and Emo (a musical genre that combines characteristics of hardcore punk with emotional and confessional lyrics). I love this next song, the video quality isn't good but it's just to “feel” the emotion… Demolition Lovers - My Chemical Romance (from their debut album, “ I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love” - 2002) The Ghost of You - My Chemical Romance (second studio album - “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” - 2004) Redigeret 27.

My Chemical Romance made what in my mind is the greatest - and also the last - of the big Rock - Punk Anthems. The energy in the song and video is amazing .. To me, it shows the huge collective power - and, perhaps, also the danger - in the frustration of young people, who hare left behind in our culture's fixation on m0oney, glamour, charm and efficiency ...

latinas4ever 1297 Skrevet 30. November Damn @sneræven. I thought rock died in the late 90s. My fingers are itching to post a Christmas Carol. But I will wait for tomorrow because that song still has a pulse. Citér indlæg Del dette indlæg Link til indlæg

Yes, it's great, I really like them…The album "The Black Parade" is very special. The next song from the same album is amazing, I love the performance and the contagious energy, even though the lyrics are about the desire to isolate oneself physically and emotionally, feeling like a "ghost" after the loss of a love… This is How I Disappear - My Chemical Romance (2006) And this song is so beautiful and emotional… Helena was the grandmother of Gerard Way (vocalist) and Mikey Way (bassist).

latinas4ever 1297 Skrevet 3. December En sang til alle der har prøvet at miste nogen, af herr Påskelilje fra Peru. Den bedste udgave af denne sang er et cover på min Whatsapp der kun er streamet én gang. Jeg føler at vi i forhold til julen er bagud med toksisk positivitet men det får vi nok indhentet. 1 Citér indlæg Del dette indlæg Link til indlæg

latinas4ever 1297 Skrevet 4. December Det var da et godt nummer @sneræven. Jeg har ikke rigtig fulgt med i rock siden det forsvandt. Den kunne sikkert have været populær i 90erne men den er også ret fed nu. Et cover af en gammel julesang fra 70erne og blandt verdens mest spillede julesange. ”Med mit lille savanne æsel drager jeg til Betlehem”. 1 Citér indlæg Del dette indlæg Link til indlæg
