Linkin Park and Jay-Z = One of the most horrible things in existance.

I need to post my complete disgust at LP/Jay-Z.

I used to be pretty much an insane Linkin Park fan since I was about 9. Hybrid Theory was a very great CD, I can't think of any songs on there that were terrible. Then they made Reanimation. That irritated me cause all they did was ruin their awesome songs with unknown hip-hop artists and released about 2 good songs (Some song I forgot the named of and My December. I like My December a lot.) I'm so glad I burned that. They did not deserve $20 dollars for that.

After that, they made Meteora. Didn't really do it for me. It was like they were just riding off their success and compiling some random CD full of crap with one or two good songs.

I was still a fan, but not a great one. But now LP/Jay-Z? That was horrible. I mean, I heard two of their songs. They're both 90% percent Jay-Z rapping about crap (Brush that dirt off ya shoulder) and the last 20 seconds of the song was Linkin Park music.

Anyone here feel the same way. It's bad enough they sold out, but with Jay-Z? He's only successful because he's riding off the coattail of Beyonce. Ugh. Anyways, what do you think?

I think your Santa sig's cool?

Yeah, I've only like Hybrid Theory as well. Sadly most musicians produce rubbish after their first album as they aren't creative enough to churn out more than 5 or 6 good songs in thier lifetime.

Thanks. :D Engrish Santa = <3.

Yeah, it's a shame. Part of the reason I think LP is becoming so bad is because power is shifting from Chester Bennington, one of the only reasons LP was cool and sounded different from other bands, to Mike Shinoda, some guy up Jay-Z's butt. I saw a music video for LP/Jay-Z and Chester was like standing there while Jay-Z and Mike Shinoda put the band to shame.

I thought Jay-Z wasn't gonna make music after the Black Album.
Oh, he's not, it's just live remixing.

Don't care; Danger Mouse mix of Jay-Z and Beatles wasn't that bad. :-[

I actually like the song Encore by LP and JZ. But I never liked the song they continously play on the radio Breaking a Habit. It's tough to make music after your first successful album. Look at Nelly Furtado, after Whoa Nelly! she came out with a so-so Folklore.

There are some groups that continues to make great music like U2 and Eminem. I love Maroon 5's Songs About Jane, but I got a feeling they'll be a one hit wonder. Alicia Keys, I hope she wins a grammy. Her song If I Ain't Got You is such a great song.

Nelly Furtado was never really great, but she has a few really catchy songs on both albums. And I think you're right about Maroon 5.

i love hybrid thoery
meteora's okay
i don't like the fact that Jay-Z and LP are collaborating to 'remix' their songs
i like the originals
Jay-Z can make their lyrics or beats or whatver he does all he likes
Don't drag LP down with you Jay
I won't waste my money
I've heard from numerous people that their cd sucks a bad word
so no thank you
I love Maroon5
i have their cd
and eminem
and u2
and red hot chili peppers who impress me a lot
and the beatsie boys *they're funny*
but not jay and LP

Well, I HATE Jay-Z as he runs his mouth about NaS (see song Take over on the album The Blueprint by Jay-Z and the song Ether by NaS on StillMATIC)


I've kind of grown out of LP I still listen to some of their songs but not too many.

The 2 things I don't like about Jay-Z is how he treated R.Kelly during their tour and how he wants to control Beyonce's career. But man, can't Beyonce get a better looking man than JZ? Damn that guy is ugly. You know, at least Tyrese looks good with a great voice...but too bad he's taken. I always thought of those 2 as a good couple.

Ha, I was just talking to a friend today about how the everything that LP has put out except for Hybrid Theory has been rubbish.

I love that song, without Jay-Z, I mean Likkin Park can ix they're music alone they did that... so Jay-Z is Beyonce finacé, isn't he? Well, anyway I love LP and I'm not gonna stop likking them just coz they mixed one great song 'Numb' with Jay-Z! Chester still has a great voice and if they need a raper they have Mike! LP don't need Jay-Z!

at first i was real open to the idea but i heard it and....hmmm.....its wasnt waht i expected.....just...*bows head down*

xDDDD, that's exactly what my Mom said. We were watching some award show and she was like "Who's that fugly man with Beyonce?"

I like that song he did with Beyonce, Bonnie and Clyde, but that's really it. He honestly would be NOTHING without Beyonce.

There was Crawling right at the begining, then it sort of went downhill. Now it's some near the centre of the Earth and if they keep whoring the rap aspect they gonna be in hell real soon.

This is the greatest mix ever
