You clearly haven't been to a college party in many moons. I can guarantee a good beat gets people more pumped than whatever death metal song you shared would.


we will never make a list like this with Lil Wayne

Can’t wait to see how the olds try to clap along to Fireman by Lil Wayne! Power followed by the stone cold intro was pretty good, helps that I associate it with some of my favorite memories

I think that has a lot to do with the FCC limitations on usage of the tone.

"the FCC prohibits the use of actual or simulated EAS/WEA tones and attention signals outside of genuine alerts, tests, or authorized public service announcements, especially when they are used "to capture audience attention during advertisements; dramatic, entertainment, and educational programs" (even if the footage is documentation of an event where an actual alert was issued)"

I think that is for broadcast media. Not sure it includes live venues. It may be an issue for broadcasting the games, but then use the siren more.

But can you dance to rap? Unless it has a rock undertone, I dont see too many dancing to rap.
Dear lord, what are you talking about? You think more people dance to rock than rap?

Yes, rap usually has a more syncopated beat that lends itself to dancing.

Rock is more straight ahead. Good for synchronized clapping.

I would take the first 45 seconds to this before I would take the first 45 of Lil wayne.

Sirens can be blared over anything....and should be.


Haha I knew it! You nu metal guys are nuts. That **** is corny and made for county fair grandstands, not big boy football stadiums.

Its not all I like. But I will take it over Lil whiny wayne anyday.

Edit: I was also only talking about the intro, for the first 45 seconds or so. The rest of the song would be bad.

I find his voice annoying too. The problem will be our sound system will actually make it worse. I can hear the pops now
It takes a pretty good sound system to play rap loud and not distort, especially on the bass.

That bass is going to sound like a continuous fart. Our system distorts so bad as soon as they turn it up.

I like rap and hip-hop, but Lil Wayne is like nails on a chalk board to me. I just never have liked his vocal style.
I will add that there is undoubtedly some Lil Wayne that I have enjoyed through the years... Fireman does not fit that category. Woof.

you must be an oldhead putting drake in the same convo as Lil Wayne. Yes they did a lot of collabs together being a part of the same label for a while but they really aren't anywhere close in terms of rap talent

If by oldhead you mean the exact same age as Lil Wayne, then yes. Talent is clearly subjective in regards to music, but they are absolutely in the same conversation in terms of pop culture success. Same label (until recently), both are top 5 earning rappers of all time, both have won a handful of grammies.
