Here Today... Gone To Hell!

So I was listening to the Linkin Park/Jay Z album with my friend the other day, and I started thinking about if GNR were to do something similar with their music with a current rap star who would it be. It's no secret Axl is a big fan of 50, so I started thinking about a GNR/50 Cent album that would be some interesting mixes. I know I would buy it, plus it would be a great way to use the library of GNR music. What do you all think?

For Gods Sake No!
It would destroy the GNR image of being rockers
and it would destroy classic rock!

I never heard Axl say anything about Him being a fan of 50 cent. Did he ever say anything about that?

50cent is so gay.


 :peace:

I don't remember if he said it, but it sounds familiar to mee tough. And I don't judge him, I actually like the fact that his musical taste isn't that narrow. It brings all kinds of elements to Gn'R..

first i never heard of axl talking about 50. i know in the 90's he liked LL cool J and nwa and of course public enemy. But when has he talked about any current rap artists today? second of all gnr should not be doing ANY RAP ROCK.

I agree, they shouldn't go near it. Rap Rock killed Metal.


 :peace:

Please delete this thread.  50-Cent !!! Are you kidding me ?!

axl with fitty?

naah man, it would be nas or shaq? ;)

or why not baz? he can rap :P



seriously though,? if they'd ever record a song with any rap in it they should talk with kid rock, axl and KR could have done a nasty song together, nasty in an awesome way

Andre 3000 would be the cool as hell also

BTW change the name of the thread to something more fitting : ok:

GNR music is miles ahead of rap music......please don't mix it with garbage.

Awesome idea.
And after that..
'You wanted the best? Well they didn't fucking make it. So here's what you get. From Hollywood. TOKYO HOTEL 2.'

Did it kill Aerosmith when they joined up with Run DMC?

that was an earth-shattering collaboration...
dude
nu metal died (thank god) 5 years ago
if gnr ever do something with 50 cent.. i would be so dissapointed

He's never said he liked 50 cent.  I'm guessing your just assuming it because hes wearing that big ass gold chain like 50?

good lord I hope that never happens!

Does anyone remember Axl ever saying thet he like 50 cent or saying he is a fan of his music?


 :peace:

Yes.  Sorum said he was listening to Magic Stick in his Suburban.

If he collaborated with 50, id be dissapointed, but still at least we would have some official new music.

What?! is Axl a 50-whatever... fan? ???, no please  :no:. who's magisc stick? n when sorum said that?

damn, it could be so cool, Andre 3000 is a genius.

I dunno, it could be interesting to see what could come out of the collaboration. It's no secret Axl's always been a fan of rap. If he had to collaborate with a rapper, I think it might be interesting to see what they could do with Nas, he's a great rapper. And for curiosity's sake, I'd love to see what would happen if GNR and Kanye West went into the studio. I absolutely hate the guy, but he writes great lyrics and has an uncanny ability to create fantastic melodies/hooks...

I forgot to mention, couple of years ago, there were rumors floating around on some rap sites that Nas did in fact record with GNR, but it was never proven/disproven...

That would be entertaining! :hihi:

Seriously, it could be interesting if Axl (or any GN'R member) would do something more "deep" and serious with some rapper.

Would it have to be with 50 Cent? Of course not, and I can't really see that one happening either.

But if it's good, it's good. And if it's crap, it's crap.

maybe what matt heard was just a random song on the radio :o

Axl requested that same song to be played at some club last year as well.

So what?

I'm hoping it would be with someone that didn't suck.

Hopefully if he does a rap song that it's as good if not better than It Tastes Good Don't It. :) That song rocked!

I SAY LONG LIVE ROCK DON'T LET IT DROP !

After hearing the masterpiece called "My World" I think Axl should stick to rocking and not rapping

We don't need 50 cause Gnr has already recorded with SHAQ!

Axl n' Eminem would be amazing. Both are lyrical masterminds.

Aerosmith and Run DMC did it already... and it only enriched Rock!

That would be the last straw for me. 50 cent is a fake ass phoney. He has much musical talent as a house brick.

collaborating with eminem would be interesting to hear... say what you will, slim can fucking rap and make great songs.. it grew on me over the summer driving around blasting it.. eminem's sinister lyrics and music/production values are actually really fun

or maybe axl can do a big comeback thing w/ dr dre :hihi:

FUCK NO :rant:

i would be devastated, to say the least, if Axl did anything rap-related. like someone said before, we have "my world" to show us that Axl Rose should never attempt to rap. And it would just make him look more ridiculous than people already think he is.

so maybe... i was wrong  ;D

a collaboration bewteen axl and loose change? i would feel so ashamed

O ya Bring on Eminem  : ok: Axl and him are 2 of the Biggest in the Buisness it would be great im sure.Or NWA

MC Hammer isn't exactly cool anymore so you can forget about that!

I think everyone can see that a collaboration with this man would be a turning point in the career of both participants.

imagine axl doing the serpent dance in with mc hammes pants ;D

Let me twist it for ya. What if he did, and it killed hip-hop and rap? Wouldn't that be awesome?.

A collaboration would be cool depending on it's presentation

The VMA thing when Foo Fighters played "Darling Nikki" W/ Cee-Lo was great..http://youtube.com/watch?v=JAK7440Lt-8

Chinese Democracy vs. I get Money would be cool.

and Better vs In Da Club.


...just kidding this would be the worst thing ever

I'm for a GNR-Rap collaboration that has been a long time in the making in Axl's mind (since discussions with Ice T in 1990).
Velvet Revolver did a Paradise City collab with Cypress Hills on the Jimmy Kimmel show and that is one of my favorite videos on You Tube because it sounds great and rhymic.

I don't think 50 Cent is a wise choice.  Dr. Dre would be my pick.

MNW

I hope it dose not happen, hiphop sucks!

You could call that a long time in the making, or you could call it an idea that was mooted years ago and never developed.  Musicians have ideas about projects that never get beyond the "this would be cool" phase - would Axl be any exception?  I think not.

kany SUCSSSSSSS

50  Real !!

Cool idea, but NOT 50 Cent.

Jay-Z, Eminem, Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco, Common, or Mike Shinoda or someone like that would be pretty cool.

Me too. If it does I don't think I could cope with it ;D

I hate (c)rap music so bad, and especially punks like 50 Cent

I don't have a source, but I thought I read somewhere that Slash and/or Axl recorded some songs with Eazy E. I'd love to hear that.

Oh my god........

I don't think it could work well. Cypress and Slash were awesome on Rock Superstar. And this was because of Slash. Paradise City sucked. Remember how bad Snoop Dogg made Metallica's Sad But True. It was horrible. That's my opinion of course... :peace:

seriously, not 50 cent he's almost as lame live as billy talent (wich is the worst live act i've ever seen :hihi:)

every single fitty song ended with a sampled gun shot, and pretty much all they (he and another guy frmo G-unit) did was pumping their arm up and down and shit


not cool man.

Well...here's a (not so good) mash-up of Dr. Dre and GNR.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0n_9mJQJNA

God that was awful!

Axl's already dipped his hand in rap rock. It's called Get In The Ring and it's embarrassing.

50 Cent is a far better suggestion than some that have been floating around in this thread. Kanye West? Andre 3000? 50's much more suited to the challenge.

how can anyone say that 50 would do better with axl then andre 3000 :o

i hope "fitty" cent dies before he ever has the chance to ruin music other than his own. he is a fucking clown and i cant even begin to understand why u guys would think axl would have anything to do with this assmunch

I reckon we should all turn our prayers for a collaboration with , say, Slayer or anyone else who doesn't suck  ;D

I fail to see how "Get in the Ring" has anything to do with rap.....if your talking about Axl's "rant" ...that's FAR from rap....it's exactly what it sounds like...a rant...

 
agree... GITR has nothing to do with Rap... My World has a bit of it and Tastes good was the only actual rapping Axl's done (that we oficially know of anyway!)

Axl very much wanted NWA to open the UYI tour but it never worked out. I think Easy not being with NWA was the sole reason so I would assume no recordings exist, but you never know.

Weren't both Nas and Shaq rumored to have recorded with GN'R in the late 90's?

I say let's not mix rap with Axl. Two totally different crowds. Can you imagine rap fans going to a GNR concert just to hear the song Axl rapped??????? Talk about needed security and the bling everywhere not to mention that I would be fearful someone would be shot during the show or outside one of the venues.

The material that Slash did was for Eazy-E's solo album.
http://www.eazy-e.com/eazy_e_death_details.php

It's both. It's rhythmically precise and the language used clearly indicates he was inspired by rap music.

Because really good musicians often don't make really good music together. Hence the failure of Prince and Michael Jackson's collaborations. 50 is far more atuned to heavy rock, even if he is an inferior musician.

Do you have any source to back up that statement or is it just a theory?

Because I don't think that it sounds anything like rap - not even when talking about influences.

It just sounds like a speech to me, but he kinda "sings" instead of speaking...

No, it's an empirical statement, I wasn't attributing it to anybody.

Feel free to disagree, but the entire song sounds as if it's influenced by 80s hip hop, and I wouldn't be surprised if there is some interview that backs up my opinion. The "why do you look at me..." and "I don't like you..." parts, in my mind, are reminiscent of lazy east coast rap melodies; his choice of words in the rant clearly resemble the speech patterns used in hip hop at the time, and also I'm right.

Thank goodness i may disagree, cuz i'll go ahead and do just that... GITR has nothing to do with rap... he either sings or just plainly speaks throuought the song... I'd be betting this month's pay you will not find any interview or even a statement from anyone involved with the making of that song that says it has anything to do with rap... simply cuz it doesn't

50 Cent is THE worst rapper out today. He is horrible!!!!!!!!!


Only rappers i would support Axl doing anything with are Eminem,Nas and Dr Dre.

1:  GITR is not rap or anything close to it.

2:  if you want Axl rapping, go to the Rocket Queen rap interlude from the old Tokyo UYI vids.  Heck, My World is closer to rap than GITR and I still don't consider either of those "rap."

3:  let Fiddy to his own thang, ya know, talking over beats.  I'm looking forward to Axl singing... :)

UM you are badmouthing rap fans saying they would make GNR concerts dangerous??? compared to GNR fans???...thats HILARIOUS considering how many riots have been caused at GNR concerts!


and if you wanna hear Axl rapping then get a bootleg with "Tastes Good, Don't It'

well, thank god there were no fire arms in those riots   : ok:

I have no problem with collaborations (so long as GNR doesn't become a rap-rock outfit  :nervous:), but this band is a rock legend, and should collaborate with artists of equal stature.  50 Cent is not in that category.  Ice Cube or Chuck D or someone like that...it could be cool.  There'd be a backlash from all the rock fans who never got into rap (you know...back when it was good and edgy), but Axl doesn't strike me as one who's afraid to push the envelope.  That said, so many have done this now, for good or ill, that it's not really all that creative or interesting,anymore. 

If you're desperate to hear something like this, Duff had that rap song on his first album. 

Um......yeah.  This idea is awful.  Can't believe this thread is still rolling.

horrible idea...axl does one thing better than anyone...rock n roll!  anyone remember the my world thing...it sucked and i havent listened to it for years.  i simply eject the cd after dont cry!

If you all don't mind this new "era" of G N' R how could you mind Axl rapping??  The new G N' R are anything but classic rock, sorry to break the news to you.

What the fuck?

Well, this changes everything...

New GnR is way closer to Classic Rock than it is to Rap. 

Rap sucks, GnR does not.  Its that simple.  GITR is NOTHING like rap.  In fact, it's one of my favorites.  And I hate rap with a passion.  It never even occured to me that is was rap-like.  I dont even consider rap to be music.

As for the death of rock, i say it was Nirvana.  From Nirvana on, it was never quite the same.  And now we're stuck w/ crap.  Nickelback.....  Give me a break.

Actually, since Nirvana it's all the same in mainstream... assholes crying about the problems of boyhood... as far as my taste goes, the last good band on mainstream was Audioslave and they're over, so everything pretty much sucks now. If i try real hard i'll think of something worth listening to  on the radio nowadays, but nothing comes to mind now... Thank the almighty for metal bands or there'd pretty much be nothing... some of u guys should check it out... you'd be considering Axl + Dark Tranquility or Slayer instead of fantasizing him with this 50cent asswipe

Fuck 50 or Emenim. Axl should rap with the real underground rapper and he is known as IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE. Listen to this motherfucker and you will forget about all fake rappers that you see on MTV.

that immortal tech guy.. that's probably yourself :rofl:

You misunderstood what I wrote.  I was just saying that the new G N' R sound takes their sound to a completely different place from classic rock....never said it was rap.  All I was saying is that if you guys can tolerate the drastic changes in the sound of this band from AFD all the way to the CD leaks, then you can surely tolerate a few rap collaberations.

Well it's about 20 years too late to regard fusing rap and rock as "pushing the envelope", but it would definitely be an unpopular move (as demonstrated by the "rap sucks" comments in this thread), and we all know Axl has no qualms about alienating his fans.

hahahaha

HAHAHAHA

hahahaha that's a nice time warp you've got there

haha that would be an explosive collaboration. IT is an even bigger headcase than Axl.

Maybe it's because I started listening to Eminem again, but I'll actually agree, Axl and Eminem collaborating would be pretty cool. 

I agree Kaleigh, the best rapper and the best rocker. bet it would be sick!!

axl should do a song with unreleased biggie and tu pac material    :hihi:

with slash doing the solo  :hihi:

RunDMC are 50 times more respectable than 50Cent

best rappers ever are adrock, mca and mike d..also knows as the beastie boys

He'd be the ONLY rapper who i would be excited to hear a song with. Eminem knows how to write and deliver great lyrics, him and axl would come up with cool shit for sure. As for 50cent, that would just be an embarresment, he's really shitty IMO.

Eminems best lyrically song is F.A.C.K  check that out :P :hihi:

first off eminem made fun of axl in a video.....2nd off, axl should do a song with the beastie boys..not even a rap song..a hardcore type song, etc..the beasties have made it clear they are sick of rap right now and moving back into playing instruments, and the next record is gonna have instruments with vocals like check your head....axl doing a gratitude type song would be badass

Axl should also collaborate with none of these 'rappers' and get back to the times when he'd roll with rock n roll people such as Alice Cooper and such... collaborating with Baz is already signs of inteligence... Fuck Rap, i think if axl did any kind of work with 'fitty' it'd be the first time i would NOT like a song with axl in it

didnt fity cent get put in jail for incest

Because he dressed up like Axl?

I'm sure MM has plenty of respect for Axl.

what the fuck?!"!
where do you get this shit from?!
Axl & 50 cent?!?!"


what the hell were you smoking?!
if that happens I'll eat my own balls!

hahah....I love it.


someone please kill this thread. I believe one reason why we don't have cd yet is exactly a result of people who think like this. 50 cent give me a break.

Here's to hoping!

Wow.

He would have to. Eminem isn't a stupid person, he must have some sort of respect for Axl's talent. To me, the dressing like him was a sign of GNRs popularity at the time. Alot of people were talking about GNR because of the VMA spot and I'm sure showing up as GNR on another MTV show was seen as cool.

they could cover "my world"  ::)

I pray to anyone listening that this doesnt happen!

I would kill myself if Axl ever collaborated with 50 Cent
