Well, i figured i'd showoff the current group that i'm listening to.

A band that combines rap and band culture together, but not in the sense that, say, Limp Bizkit 'sort of' tried to do. It's a little different. They have that funky sound to them that i like. The rhymes are also cleverly written, so that's always a plus in my little book of hip-hop.

Anyways, if you're bored or generally interested then feel free to check these songs out for yourself.

My personal favourite. A clever video to go with a clever set of lyrics -
Gym Class Heroes - New Friend Request

Another one i find myself listening to quite a lot. Generally, a feel good track. The song that opens this video is called 'Viva La White Girl', which i also really appreciate. If anything, watch the video for the face off with the furries, lol -
Gym Class Heroes - Clothes Off

And, you may have heard this one already but it's a cute track, if nothing else -
Gym Class Heroes - Cupids Chokehold

Enjoy. *dances away*

NOt bad. Their pretty good, and that is saying a lot because I hate just about all forms of rap. I don't like the song ideas so much though, but at least the music is pleasing to the ear, and doesn't make my ears bleed like most rap songs do.

I've not found myself liking them too much if I must be honest. Cupids Chokehold wasn't terrible (well lyrically it was abysmal), but their latest track just grates on my nerves a little too much. I think their biggest problem is just how forgettable their stuff is compared to that terrible man from Fallout Boy they have sing the chorus in those two songs, Clothes Off is a much worse offender than Cupids Chokehold in this area. Now, if they were to take their Fort Minor style sound and collaborate with some talented artists or perhaps provide vaguely interesting instrumentals I think they'd be onto something.

While definitely not my thing, I can see the appeal in what they're doing.

I'm a big fan of cupids chokehold, no thanks to those crazy dancing kids in the video XD So i likes that song.

I'm not too fond of the clothes off tune nomatter how much you sing it, lol ahaha, but i like the first song on their album. The album is a weird one, most of it is good yet the other not so good part is pretty bland, which is a shame as i think the band themselves are funky. Travis is interesting.

I need to listen to the album more to like any other song as much as Cupids Chokehold.

Funny, I didn't know it was the Gym Class Heroes that did "Cupid's Chokehold." First time I heard it on the radio, it got stuck in my head and the DJ's didn't even have the decency to supply artist info afterward.. they haven't played it while I been listening since.

Cute videos, catchy songs. Been looking for something different to listen to. Maybe you've answered that question ^^.

Weeeee Have To take our Clothes off XD I loveee that song.... BECAUSE PATRICK STUMPH IS IN IT!

[Kori]

Cupid's Chokehold! I remember that! They don't play it on the radio so much anymore.. XD; When I first heard it, I thought it was a remix of "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp! Very catchy, stuck in my head for aaaaages...

And yes, the dancing kids make the vid so much more appealing!

Ya know, i honestly didn't epect this topic to receive as much attention as this. So, thank you to those of you who actually checked it out in the first place. XD

[YamiLover13]

Oh god. I feel like such a total idiot. One song I really like and listen to right now is "Take a look at my Girlfriend." How did I miss that? lol

[DiGi Valentine]

lol Well done, Yami

[AirMax]

Wait, isn't that that guy on the commercials that are all anti-smoking? And at the end it's like "truth"?

[iLLViLLAiN]

Viva La White Girl. That's all I'm going to say.

[kidninja]

cupids chokehold is all i listen to of them by the way that is "take a look at my girlfriend" (just incase)

Well now I feel really stupid! I didn't even have the title right! Gah... Not my fault, I asked a friend what the name of the song was when I heard it and that is what she told me. I downloded it and found it as such as well. So yeah...

Thanks for pointing this out to me even though its a loong while after the fact. I am pretty embarressed to have been calling it by the wrong name all this time. (I sitll listen to the song from time to time even now by the way. )

Digi! Why didn't you tell me that when I said it many post ago? ;_;

[DiGi Valentine]

hmm? The song is called 'Cupids Chokehold' .... o.o I said it in my first post. XD
Anyways, it's doesn't matter too much. I was calling a Tupac Shakur song 'Take Money' when it was actually called 'Hit Em Up'. Can you imagine how stupid i looked in the Hip Hop community? I was lucky i wasn't shot because of it. XP

oh man, how did I miss this topic?? Gym Class Heroes are awesome! I have only one album of theirs though, and thats "As Cruel as School Children" which the first two tracks you mentioned are off of. Absolutely LOVE that CD.
