@fenixthedagoner why did Bono let a retard draw a moustache on the mona lisa?
yes i hate it…
@kim20062007 Took your time with that one, considering your higher intellect and all.
@kim20062007 I’d put my album collection against yours anyday, chart zombie. Your various greatest hits by any flavour of the week crap would be buried in a landslide.
PS. You told me to SPEAK English….? well…. i’m TYPING not SPEAKING, DUMB-ASS!!!
F.Y.I, you’re not important to me for me to need a reply from you! I do not need a reply from someone who is 1) less intelligent than me and 2) could not even produce on good reply to any of my previous comments. The only purpose you serve is that of illuminating your lack of understanding of artist and artform, and of musical diversity and why it is fundamental to the existence & evolution of music. Like I pointed out before, u r small minded & ignorant. You lack intelligence & it’s embarassing
@kim20062007 Cussin? Speak English and you’ll get a reply.
ps. produces involves creating your own music from scratch – that requires at least an ounce of talent. don’t see why you can’t give Jay-z a break. You aint gotta like him, but then you aint gotta come here cussin. that’s just downright disrespectful!
goes to show you’re dumb – how can you comment on my music when you haven’t even heard it? my music has won awards! i’ve been at it for 10 years, clasically trained!
you’re a loser with no life – your next comment better make some sense.
… But what can you say, eh?…
@kim20062007 Hes rich, but too LAZY to learn anything. The the worlds full of retards.
@kim20062007 PRODUCES? Oh here we go, you gotta like dickheads spouting shit into a mic or your racist. Theres a lot of retarded white people who listen to this shit as well, they need killing….as far as your musical prowess goes, dont give up your day job.
I do understand music and that people have various tastes. If u dont understand Jay-z’s music why not just say that. Why diss the folks that listen to it? you make urself look like a fool.
Jay-z is rich enough to afford all the music lessons in the world! But he has no interest in that – rap is how he makes his money, singin is how Bono makes his money! Money is what makes the world go round, not us talkin about what makes good music and what makes bad music – Bono and Jay-z are havin a blast
now you KNOW you’re small minded!
Jay-z produces his own records! He doesn’t need musicians! BTW He’s a really good drummer — btw since you think rap is for lazy jobless pple, and since most pple that listen to rap happen to be black, im just gona cut to the chase and call you a racist! btw I listen to rap and i go to work everyday aswell as studying towards a law degree! i play guitar myself and drums. i’m into extreme sports an go paintballing/abseiling and snowboarding each year, and pay all my taxes! so im not lazy.. ????
@kim20062007 you really are dim…
@Jorindevil If he was he would BE a musician
@kim20062007 Small minded MUSICIANS like me. Raps for lazy, jobless dickheads who dont like music but wanna look cool.
@kim20062007 Bono can play guitar, he WRITES on a guitar. Lock jay-z in a room full of musical instruments and NOTHING will happen. jay-z can barely put together the crap he does for all you special needs dicks without an army of musicians + singers. If you understood music and didnt get spoonfed by mtv you might have an argument.
BONO ISNT EVEN A MUSICIAN U DUMBASS, BONO DOESNT BOTHER LEARNING TO BE ONE EITHER! Anyway, Bono can’t do what Jay-Z does, Jay-z cant do what Bono does – they are two diffrent pple, two different genres, two different worlds – small minded jackasses like you are NOT who they make this music for, so why don’t you crawl back into your bubble from whatever smalll minded town you come from, you fooooool!! No one cares about your opinion that much, you are just an irritating minority!
@kim20062007 Yes it DOES. Just cos he can string a few sentences together underpinned with predictable sentiments and dumbasses go ..aaahh, doesn’t make him an artist. Its embarrassing when these clowns get on stage with genuine, learned craftsmen. The guy drinks champagne outa solid gold bottles, he couldn’t give a fuck about Haiti, its all publicity.
a lot of dumb and ignorant people don’t bother listening to Jay-z’s lyrics and their meaning. They then call him talentless. I think it’s those that are unable to understand his lyrics that are talentless.
“…build some schools. Teach the youth of what lies ahead, teach the truth”
These are just some of Jay-z’s lyrics. It would be said to be talented if it came out in a singing voice. Just because it is rap, doesn’t make it talentless. Thankyou.
@Jorindevil jayz is NOT musician, he couldnt be bothered learning to be one,but he manges to kid the likes of you that he is. Stop insulting musicians
@Jorindevil what a pile of shit, U2 need their heads testing lettin talentless fucks like jayz on their stage
I don’t like rap, but Jay-Z is a serious musician and I absolute love U2.
Bono.. you dance very cute XDDDDD
Yeah, it’s been doing pretty well – thanks for noticing.
Great concert by the way, despite the cold
Do you have a link for the Palladia-use of it?
