(the album cover is serious though)












Damn, man!
You know when someone just fills someone else's spot. I mean entirely occupies the circumference of their cavity!


I have to say its a little sad. To hear them speak, they'd probably say they were different from each other musically, but image wise- minus the 'dreads'-they're almost interchangeable!
And although they're music may display slight genre variations (Pack- more hyphy clashing snap whereas The Kids are more 80's hip hop clashing bare bone but Neptune-esque production), they both rely heavily on dominating basslines for a lot of their songs.

From an A&R point of view, they were probably going for exactly the same market but 1 group is slightly better. I like them both but I have to say, I prefer the cool kids, they got that nostalgia thing down pat! They remind me of Fresh Prince and back in the days when I had no worries and Jamel Shabazz and all types of other good stuffs

This is nothing new though, happens all the time when 2 musical entities are too similar- Cases in point:

1. Nas and AZ- sounded VERY alike but Nas stayed cos he's just better

2. Coldplay and Travis- I actually forgot what Travis was called and had to google them by a song title, so bad was they're loss to Coldplay!! NOBODY can try and tell me that 'Why does it..' and 'Yellow' weren't remixes of the same damn song!

3. Robin Thicke and Jon B- RT is here....and we never saw Jon B again! (Justin does NOT count)

4. Beyonce and every damn black chic in the game- Also known as Beyonceitis http://www.beyonceitis.com/home.htm (check out this site, its HILARI!!)

5. Oasis and Blur- Talk about being annihilated! It was a draw when i was at school, by the time i left, Blur were GONE!

6. Omarion and Chris Brown- Where is Omarion....No really?

Honourable Mention: You know its only a matter of time before Duffy wiggles her nose and makes Adele dissapear right? lol

The list could actually go on 4eva...

Does anybody remember any they can add to the list??
