Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails would have been a dope rapper.

aw man, wish i had that graphic they made of him that looked like something pen n pixel would put out!!

props to the dude posting jesu, that first lp was my go to fukk jams till this indie rock girl started laughing and was like "wtf is this"




You gotta stay dialed in man.
People who are black will never get this type of shyt if they not into music so I never let some shyt like this drop around people who don't have broad taste.
They may look at you weird then go bump some trap rnb ripoff of this shyt that is basically a twenty year later version of the direction of this shyt.





Plus, Trent is the guy who brought back the virtual concert from the seventies.
That soon later on became tupac hologram concerts later on, too.
That was a concert vid if I remember right and a few studios that were high end would have that shyt running on loop.
Engineer be like your roadie is a nin fan FA real.
Learn all the studio engineer tricks off that nin and filter short bus convo shyt.

I may go for a country drive and bang this shyt blazing tonite.
Or at least go shred this school skating at like two am and smoke tonite.

Even if it be dead.
I can get some nin and go find some fun.
If I was in the chi.
I would be on the road after the club and studio at the casino at like five am playing this shyt too.
Some of the best late night just zoning ass music.
Best just background convo piece music of all time too.

Nin listening is like that scene in high fidelity and working at dr wax the greatest record store in Chicago Southside history but the Evanston branch was opus level for a music guy like me.

Got hired off of being black and knowing mad rock shyt even white people may not know and I don't think I am a rock expert at all.
I just own all that good shyt tho.

Renzor is good, hell, great with his own industrial thing but I don't like white rappers

These are the only white rappers I fw, Irish socialist guys




I talked to the producer, Oisin Lunny a while back, chill guy but he's a corporate man now :mjlol:

i had really let nin's music slide for years and years till maybe eight months ago, a dude in my office was blasting a couple of their albums one day and it took me back to high school and my friends geeking over the use of technology in trent's recordings.

Trent is not really industrial, more like industrial inspired and influenced. Its an insult to try to pigeonhole him into the industrial box - he's waaaay too talented and diverse for that.

He really is a musical genius tho. Deal with it brehs, that's a bad white boy :francis:

No it's not..industrial is a pretty complex musical subgenre..

I forget which track it is but I'm pretty sure one of the tracks on Pretty Hate Machine is a straight-up rap and Trent isn't too hot at it. It's from '89 tho, so
:yeshrug:

Also, Industrial would be quite different today without NIN, but it'd never exist without Throbbing Gristle

reznor was never great rapping. [i more defended him after pretty hate machine as a vocalist.]
that is why the change occurred on broken from pretty hate machine in him being even more industrial and also more singing or rebel yell.
yet, i do give him credit for incorporating and geting better as far as rap.
when he revisited songs on later projects that were in the same vein and series as down in it.

as far as this throbbing gristle, this is dope and just has that one bad opening song like my bloody valentine. after that this shyt is all next level.
especially for the time period when i started to look back on their background.
