What Song Are You Listening To? (Music -beta-)

The chill thread where fkn0wned's GFX crew and regulars dropped whatever was in their headphones

A laid-back music-sharing thread kicked off by Crxss to christen the brand-new (beta) Music section of the forum, quickly pinned by admin ap3x. Members from the Graphics Crew, 1K Club, and general membership traded YouTube links to whatever they were currently listening to, spanning post-rock, hip-hop, and trance/Tiesto, with some light banter and inside jokes along the way. Nothing dramatic here — just a friendly, low-key hangout thread showing the social, non-cheating side of the community.

First off, stoked there's a music section now. I love sharing music.— Crxss
Im not in control of the tunes at the moment but this is what I am forced to listen to at this moment in time— Abysmal
Epic song + Epic typography = ...jesus?— toastie

Post your own songs! (Music -beta- share thread)

The Art & Design crew tries to birth a music scene, one shaky hardstyle track at a time

pheonixinwater kicks off a thread in the brand new 'Music -beta-' subforum inviting members to share original tracks, starting with his own admittedly rough hardstyle attempt. A handful of regulars trickle in with encouragement and small talk about production software (FL Studio 8 gets a mention), and admin ap3x pins the thread as a good idea while joking he's no composer. A German member's language mix-up over 'IST' vs 'is' gets a laugh, and another poster suggests splitting off a separate thread for technical discussion so this one doesn't get cluttered.

if ap3x writes a song I'll shit brix— NIX
really shit I know... but I thought I'd get the ball rolling— pheonixinwater
i live in germany and here is "ist" = "is" got some problems with it xD— dannzy

Power - Kanye West

One guy drops Kanye's 'Power', and it somehow turns into a Drake vs. Kanye standoff.

A short music-sharing thread in the Music -beta- subforum where member Emrys posts Kanye West's then-new single 'Power', warning that YouTube links kept getting copyright-struck. Regulars chime in praising the King Crimson sample and hyping Kanye's upcoming album, until timem604 stirs the pot by claiming Drake was better than Kanye, prompting mild pushback and a jab at 'Young Money' fans. Low-stakes, friendly music chat typical of the board's casual side, with a few [FkN] crew and admin members dropping in.

there was a few moments where the ambient chanting was a bit overwhelming but overall it was a nice cultural touch— Abysmal
In my opinion Drake is still better than Kanye West.— timem604
best be trolling. I have a strong disliking towards anyone in young money.— Crxss

Favorite Artists/Bands

The [FkN] crew drops their entire music libraries — from Nas to Nickelback to 200GB of chiptune and dubstep.

A laid-back off-topic thread in the Music -beta- subforum where Emrys asked members to share their favorite artists and bands. Replies ranged from concise rap/hip-hop lists to sprawling, genre-by-genre dumps covering everything from trance and hardstyle to indie, dubstep, metalcore, reggae, and chiptune. It's a snapshot of mid-2010 music taste across the [FkN] Graphics Crew and general membership, more casual hangout than debate, with a few running jokes about rap vs. pop.

lol don't ask a producer what his favourite music is. oh gawd here we go... commencing dump— lulraep
rap is not pop, so if u call tht then stop— thejah
I listen to what ever I like so I can't quite answer the question— NIX

Techno or Rock

A failed poll turns into a lazy Sunday genre showdown in the Music -beta- forum

A short, casual thread in the Music -beta- section where zanderdanmark tried to launch a techno-vs-rock poll that didn't work as intended, so it became a regular reply thread instead. A handful of members chimed in with their genre preference, ranging from hardstyle/schranz/gabba techno fans to die-hard rock loyalists, with one poster joking about dubstep before backing rock. Low-stakes, low-drama, the kind of filler chat thread typical of a niche subforum on a gaming/cheat community site.

THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A POLL -.- well, since that dosnt work. Just post. I go with both— zanderdanmark

The Music Game! (word-chain song thread)

One word, one song, seven pages deep — fkn0wned's music nerds turn a chain game into a marathon.

A simple word-association music game started by trinetyface in the Music -beta- subforum: each poster names a song sharing a word with the previous entry. It ran to at least seven pages and pulled in a mix of regulars from the Warez Crew, Graphics Crew, and 500/1000 Club ranks, bouncing between rap, rock, and random deep cuts. Lighthearted and low-stakes, it's a good snapshot of the forum's casual, off-topic social side outside the cheat/warez sections.

Eye suck dick. JK JK JK :D— Junnyerr
So here goes. Post a song which has one word from the previous song that was posted.— trinetyface

Black Sheep - The Choice is Yours

A hamster-commercial-inspired share of a classic rap track gets mixed reviews from the Graphics Crew.

A short thread in the site's Music -beta- subforum where Graphics Crew member Emrys posted the track 'Black Sheep - The Choice is Yours,' citing the old hamster-dance car commercial as inspiration. Admin ap3x wasn't impressed, calling it repetitive, while fellow Graphics Crew member Crxss defended it as a dope classic rap track despite disliking the chorus. A tiny, low-stakes exchange typical of the music-sharing corner of the forum.

lol inspired by that hamster commercial for the one car.— Emrys
what the fuck was that? It just seemed like the same thing over and over and over and over and over again.— ap3x
ahhh classic rap. I hate the chorus, but this is otherwise a dope track, and album too.— Crxss

Queen? Your Thoughts

A wholesome little Freddie Mercury debate breaks out in the cheat forum's music corner

In the Music -beta- subforum, longtime member drplobble kicks off a casual thread asking what people think of Queen, noting the band went downhill after Freddie Mercury's death. A small handful of regulars weigh in with genuine appreciation, trade favorite songs, and have a minor good-natured tiff over whether Freddie 'warmed up' the crowd. A rare calm, off-topic slice of the forum's social side away from the warez/cheat drama typical of the site.

he is a legend! quite possibly the best stage performer who has ever lived.— trinetyface

Got more of this? (music recommendations thread)

A smod asks for songs like 65daysofstatic and the Graphics Crew turns it into a mini glitch-hop/IDM tastemaking session.

Kimmi, a well-known forum smod, kicks off a low-key music-sharing thread asking for tracks similar to 65daysofstatic's 'Aren't We All Running.' A handful of regulars from the Graphics Crew and 500 Club chime in with recommendations spanning glitch, dubstep, and the Brainfeeder label, plus a shoutout to Kashiwa Daisuke for long-form tracks. It's a small, chill corner of the forum's Art & Design section, more about shared taste than any drama.

I don't really know genres that well, I just know it's good music lol.— Crxss

Ain't No Sunshine — cover song thread

A member asks for good covers of a classic soul song... and even admits the thread flopped.

In the Music -beta- subforum of Art & Design, longtime member Abysmal started a thread asking others to share good covers/reproductions of Bill Withers' 'Ain't No Sunshine,' offering a Boney James version as a personal favorite and later adding a Joe Cocker rendition. Only one other member, BONxFIRE, replied with a brief 'it's a good song.' Abysmal himself closed out the thread by candidly calling it a bit of a flop, a small, quiet artifact of the forum's low-key music-sharing culture.

This song has been redone by many artists and i want to see if you can find any good reproductions.— Abysmal
the song is remade by many and it always sounds amazing but this thread is kind of a fail— Abysmal
Well it's a good song :)— BONxFIRE

Seether.

A tiny music thread where three members just talked about liking a rock band

A short, low-key thread in the Music -beta- subforum where user toastie shared some Seether songs on YouTube and asked if anyone else was a fan. Two other members, chopiekat and Xreaper19, chimed in with their favorite tracks. Nothing dramatic here, just a quiet slice of everyday forum life between the cheat-scene chatter.

I've always enjoyed seether, i like Fake it and like suicide, many others :)— chopiekat

August Burns Red — metal band thread

Pestilence drops a metalcore rec, gets mild pushback on the screamo vocals

A short music-subforum thread from July 2010 where member Pestilence shares a Myspace link and favorite tracks from metalcore band August Burns Red, noting he's not into the Christian lyrical themes but likes the music. A couple of other members chime in, mostly lukewarm on the harsh vocals typical of the genre. It's a quiet, low-drama slice of the forum's casual off-topic culture rather than anything to do with the site's cheat/gaming scene.

when i first heard the song is was like: GET ON WITH IT!— zanderdanmark
Im not rlly into metal, like, sometimes the music itself is okay, but then i just hate the vocals.— BONxFIRE

A couple good songs written by Emrys

Deep in the Music -beta- board, three [FkN] Graphics Crew regulars traded rap picks — Wale, Lushlife, and a Kid Cudi shoutout.

A short, low-key music thread in the Art & Design section's 'Music -beta-' subforum where member Emrys shared a couple of his current favorite rap tracks (Wale and Lushlife). A couple of fellow [FkN] Graphics Crew members chimed in with their own opinions, including a mixed take on Lushlife and praise for Kid Cudi's mixtapes over his album. Nothing dramatic — just a small, casual music-sharing corner of the forum typical of its era.

Decided to post a few of my recent favorite rap songs. These are like the flavor of the month for me.— Emrys
Cudi's album is garbage, but his mixtapes are crazy. This guy is incredible, I saw him live.— Crxss

[AR] Guards EP written by Crxss

A forum full of cheat sellers and warez kids pauses to review a free indie surf-rock EP

In the Music -beta- subforum of Art & Design, longtime member Crxss posted a short album review of the free 2010 EP by the band Guards, comparing them to Frankie Valli, the Beach Boys, and MGMT and giving it a 4/5. Fellow Graphics Crew member Emrys suggested adding a numeric rating, which Crxss promptly added. A tiny, low-key exchange showing the softer, non-cheating side of the community's culture.

This whole album makes for great easy summer listening, plenty of chill medleys to go around. Even better that it's free.— Crxss
maybe include a ranking eh? like x/5— Emrys

Nate57 & Telly Tellz

A VIP member puts the whole forum onto German hip hop before it blew up

In the Music -beta- subforum, VIP member awshit shares tracks from up-and-coming German rap duo Nate57 & Telly Tellz, hyping them as future stars despite their humble beginnings, and notes their first single had already cracked the German charts in mid-2010. It's a short, low-key music-sharing thread rather than a big event, with only one reply from toastie joking about the language barrier. A modest but charming little time capsule of forum members putting friends onto music outside the usual American hip hop scene.

Maybe interesting for you guys listinging only to american Gangster Hip Hop.— awshit

BaSS! — thejah's hunt for the heaviest bass tracks

One member's quest for the filthiest bass drops on his new headphones, courtesy of the GFX crew's resident dubstep evangelist

A short, laid-back thread in the Music -beta- subforum where thejah, a longtime member of the [FkN] Graphics Crew, asked for bass-heavy song recommendations to enjoy on a new pair of headphones. Fellow GFX regular ProVocation chimed in pointing him toward drum & bass, jungle, and dubstep. It's a small slice of the forum's laid-back, off-topic music culture rather than any drama or scene business — just two members bonding over sound.

New Online DJ Group

A lone shoutout for a members-only internet radio hangout — request songs, chat, tune in.

A quick, single-post plug from longtime member drplobble inviting the community to an online radio/DJ site where users could listen live, request songs of any genre, and chat with others. It's a low-key thread in the sleepy 'Music -beta-' subforum, more of an announcement than a discussion, with no replies recorded. Typical of the forum's smaller creative corners that lived alongside the gaming and warez sections.

Come listen, Request songs & Chat to others. Get your friends to come along and listen also, you can request music of all genres!— drplobble

It's a low-key music-sharing post typical of the Art & Design section, with no replies or discussion attached. A snapshot of casual, everyday forum activity rather than any major event.

Album Reviews - Format Guidelines Thread

The post that tried to turn fkn0wned's music board into a proper album review zine.

A [FkN] Graphics Crew member named Emrys opened this thread in the experimental 'Music -beta-' subforum, inviting members to submit album and mixtape reviews using a set format (cover art, length, tracklist, rating out of 5, personal thoughts). The pitch was that if enough people participated, the section might get spun off into its own permanent forum. It's a quiet, functional mod post rather than a drama thread — more a snapshot of the community trying to branch out beyond gaming/cheats into art and music culture.

So go ahead, get reviewing the latest albums and mixtapes.— Emrys
