" did well there. And keep in mind, he's actually met people like 50 Cent and eminem  

  
 ::Yeah but......to be exact if your not famous in america then your unkown to be brutaly honest, oasis got famous because from october 1995 to 1996 they were of the charts, and he must admit it`s gone, thats what reaches his agression on music and artists or just to get some damn publicty because as the world and I know Their last album was no good here or internationaly, to be straight forward mourning glory was their only succesful record: oh and ps if he had met 50 cent and eminem, he would of been  sucking their dicks talking to them or else his ass would of been beat or WORSE.—The preceding comment was made by a cutty in Pittsburg, CA 

 That's a typical arrogant American view and very much incorrect. You talk a lot a bullshit.  

 :agreed! I mean there are masses of bands that are well known and famous... Just because they aren't in america doesn't mean they aren't elsewhere!  

 ::Well, the official party line is that they did break American but then couldn't be arsed with it anymore. Ameircans, famously, just didn't get it. Morning Glory wan't their only successful record. Definitely Maybe was the fastest selling Uk debuet album and Be Here Now remains the fastest selling album in the UK, as well as selling very well in America, which goes a long way to show that Yanks are interested in hype over substance. I don't think anyone is really scared of rappers. They live in their own world and it is of very little interest to someone from North England.  

 I`m pretty sure there are people intersted in hip hop, like lady soviergn, whatever the fuck the bitch is name is, and lily allen, also whatever the fuck is her name and they dumb ass dumb.  

 ::Yeah, Lilly Allen. She's TOTALLY hip-hop. CASE AND POINT. She's ska, you silly sod  

 What the fuck is ska?  

 :Why would you be ponificating about something when you have no idea what it is?  That's a bit ignorant. Ska is sort of a combination between mod-rock and reggae. That might be a bit of a crap description actually. This is an encyclopedi, look in up for yourself. Rap music is popular in some circles (mainly little boys) but it always seems quite detatched. It's very boastful.  

 Please, only little kids? over here the only people that are what you may not know that is called ""ghost riding it"" (look it up) are adult so that must mean something.  

 :Certainly it does. It mean your adults and out little kids are intellectual equals.  

 2Pac - California Love, whas released the same year and did better than champagne super nova here!!!! haha!! here is a link for your english self, were going old school before ghost riding it..  

 :I completely believe you, but read back over the argument, you will find you've not actually won any points there, you're just agreeing with me. If California Love had done well in England, you would have proved me wrong. But it didn't. So you haven't. Though I don;t think Champagne Supernove actually had a proper release in the US - I think it was a radio release.  

 Yeah, it is true but even if it`s number one, it was number one in the US modern and mainstream rock here, maybe because as Noel said hip hop/R&b; was overtaking his music and talked trash about it.  

 :Yeah. Maybe. I still maintain it's still souless crap.  

 ::Souless crap? no that's not fair - total fucking shit is closer!   

 :::I stand corrected.  

 ::::If you like Rap music, it states one very clear thing about your character: You like talking about about whores, bitches, killing mutha-fuckin policemen, using the word nigger, and about how proud you are that Rap artists are making mountains of money from people who buy their records, and they """"don't give a shit, bro'"", and how they talk about the 'hood, even though they wouldn't go near an area like that if it was t
