I like Killswitch Engage more than any of those bands. And it's funny how much hate Kanye gets these days.. seems like as soon as someone gets their video played on MTV everyone turns on them. Yeah as an emcee he's weak but he's a pretty good producer and he beats the hell out of the black eyed peas. Not everything has to have mind boggling lyrics.
It's not good music though... It's almost decent music. I can understand having non mind boggling lyrics, but his lyrics are not only that, they are just boring. He talks about the same shit every mainstream rapper talks about. Besides which, I don't see what the big fuss about him being a "good boy" is. That's how hip hop started, a bunch of kids who decided they were going to sit around and rap battle each other and mix beats instead of killing each other. It was originally a somewhat peaceful affair. Gangster rap didn't even exist until Ice-T came along.

As i said, we all have our own opinions...
rather Kanye West than most of those other shitheads.
I don't think he's all that bad really, he's different, and he certainly doesn't go for all that weak gangsterism stuff like most of the G-Unit generation. I know I'll probably get crucified for liking something 'popular' here, but along with Outkast, I think he's got a good thing going on.

I totally agree with u... 🙂
The "Best Metal Performance" category really has some horrible options.
I mean "Vermillion"? "Live for the This"? Did they just go pick the most radio friendly tracks off of their albums?
Killswitch Engage will most likely be the sleeper, because I don't think any of their stuff is as soft as what songs are in contention. I hope Hatebreed doesn't win for 2 reasons. 1) That song blows, and the album is a lot stronger than THAT weak ass track, and 2) awards shouldn't mean shit to them in the first place. It would give people more fuel for their "mainstream hardcore" arguements, should they win.
