Góðan dag, góðan dag.
Ef þið lesið september tölublaðið af The Source sjáiði mjög áhugavert efni! Fyrirsögnin ber heitið “Top 100 rhymes of all time”. Þetta er á tveimur opnum, og ég verð nú bara að segja það að það er mjög skemmtilegt að lesa þetta. Ég ætla að skrifa hérna brot af þessum “top 100 rhymes” til gamans, ég nenni þó ekki að skrifa allt, því sumt af þessu er eitthvað sem við hérna á fróni höfum litla þekkingu af (flestir).

…………………………………. ……………………..

Eins og ég sagði áðan eru nefndar 100 rímur, þetta eru ekki allar eins og þið sjáið, tæplega helmingur!
Sumt af þessu finnst mér algjör snilld, en svo er annað sem mér finnst ekki alveg vera að virka.
Persónulega finnst mér þau bestu nr. 27 og 39! Flottar svona pælingar eins og í 27… ! Svo finnst mér nr. 14, 24 og 38 helvíti gott… Einnig er margt annað þarna sem mér finnst ansi gott, ætla ekki að vera að telja það allt upp.
En það sem mér finnst vanta er eitthvað með DMX, mér finnst skrýtið að það sé ekkert eftir hann þarna því persónulega finnst mér mjög margir textar með honum alveg magnaðir !

En það væri gaman að fá ykkar skoðanir á þessu, hvað finnst ykkur standa uppúr, hvað finnst ykkur vanta, o.s.frv. !

Takk fyrir :)
