Kpop while laddering makes me feel like a korean progamer and thus I feel more powerful. True story.
Yeah... I'm dead serious.

Wow, OP listed every overplayed mainstream electronic song of all time.

Ultimately this thread is pretty pointless, people just listen to whatever they like...for focusing on the game purely I listen to solo piano/ambient (NOT Aphex Twin, dream-ambient, not holy shit what planet am I on ambient).

My music have a lot of piano and game music. It has some cool Japenese music thrown in there too.
Notable artists: Yuki Kajiura, Nobuo Uematsu, Gabriela Rob, X Japan, Caravan Palace, DAAU, Homestuck, Two Mix, Blue Sky Black Death, Yousei Teikoku, Kashiwa Daisuke, Hanz Zimmer and more.

It is pretty much a mix of Destiny, TLO and HuK, with a lot of the bad songs taken out and a ton more good ones added in.

Whoa that is a whole lot of bad rap lol. Other than that im with you although i prefer more laid back hip hop beats. I usually just put on an instrumental album while i ladder. Some of the ones i have been listening to lately are:

DJ Frane - Beats to blaze to
Damu The Fudgemunk - Over Time
The Herbaliser - Remedies
Dj Premier - Time to Chill
Invisibl Skratch Piklz - The Shiggar Fraggar Show
Marco Polo - Instrumentals


Are you a hipster-hop fan or something?



Haha i dont know i just listen to what i like. I just think artists like JayZ/Lil Wayne/Eminem are pretty fucking terrible. All they make is bad pop music these days.

I dont think i could be a "hipster-hop" fan if i like DJ Premier. Hes about as mainstream Hip Hop as it gets.

Jay-Z and Eminem were both extremely good rappers in their prime, and this is coming from someone who listens to a lot of underground/alternative and classic hip hop as well. Say whatever you want about Lil Wayne though, he can't compare to the other two and really shouldn't be grouped with them.

You clearly don't know as much as you think you do, Lil Wayne was easily on par with Eminem, although Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt is way better than anything else by these three. Lil Wayne and Eminem were clearly on par during the 90's. People are cute with trying to be objective without formulating a real opinion. My guess is that you are ignorant to the progression that Lil Wayne has contributed in the past 10 years, and are oblivious to his work when he was 15 with the Hot Boys.

I listen to anything from kpop to black metal normally but lately I've been listening to 50s/60s jazz. I find I focus really well when I listen to it.

Some examples:

Why are you acting like such a prick? I wasn't trying to objectively state that Eminem and Jay-Z are good and that Lil Wayne is bad, I was trying to share my opinion that Eminem and Jay-Z used to be really, really good and mentioned my other tastes in hip hop because it's pretty clear that the poster I quoted is unhappy with modern mainstream hip-hop, as I am. Hell, I never even said he was bad, I just said I don't think he should be grouped with the other two and that people can be more critical of him with no objection from me. No, I haven't heard Lil Wayne's pre-solo work because I've never actually heard anyone ever really talk about it so I assumed it wasn't anything special compared to his more recent material. I guess it's totally possible that his old stuff is genius. I'm not trying to make myself sound like a hip hop guru here.

I have listened to almost every genre while playing SC2. The only real tip that I can give is that some people prefer music without any lyrics while playing so as not to get distracted. lately I've been listening to 80s pop and just went on a huge winstreak so maybe there is a correlation there. ^^

Lil' Wayne from Drought III was pretty good. I just have his No Ceilings and I am Not a Human Being shit because of the beats.

As for Eminem, he is actually really good. But fuck off to Love the Way you Lie. Won't Back Down was good, but it got overplayed. Slim Shady LP was probably his best album besides Recovery, but that's when he was a pill-popper about to hit rock bottom.

You didn't diss Pac? Good, if you did, I would shoot you.

As for tha Jigga Man, again, it's all really about beats in SC. My life playlist is a lot different. And Jay-Z really has come out with some of the best beats in the game.

As for Bad Meets Evil, it's probably my favorite new artist this year. Loud Noises, Above the Law, and Fast lane are all really good for playing SC, mainly because of the beats and combination with the lyrics.

Then again, this is South Central music. I grew up around it, it's hard to kick it off.

+ Show Spoiler +
And seeing how this is my 369th post, might as well throw in this Lil John song. FTR, it's terribad imo.
I hate when people compare SC2 and rochambeu. One race isn't fucking supposed to counter another one. | Protoss isn't OP. Their units on the other hand....

Why say "He can't compare", when you clearly have no clue what he has done then? Slandering something you are ignorant to is quite common, however when you do it, expect to be rivaled by someone who educated themselves on the subject. It may sound like im being a prick, but you claiming that Lil Wayne is something to be bashed, while defending two notoriously huge pop stars in the meanwhile is more prickish than me dropping knowledge.

Whoa that is a whole lot of bad rap lol. Other than that im with you although i prefer more laid back hip hop beats. I usually just put on an instrumental album while i ladder. Some of the ones i have been listening to lately are:

DJ Frane - Beats to blaze to
Damu The Fudgemunk - Over Time
The Herbaliser - Remedies
Dj Premier - Time to Chill
Invisibl Skratch Piklz - The Shiggar Fraggar Show
Marco Polo - Instrumentals


Are you a hipster-hop fan or something?



Haha i dont know i just listen to what i like. I just think artists like JayZ/Lil Wayne/Eminem are pretty fucking terrible. All they make is bad pop music these days.

I dont think i could be a "hipster-hop" fan if i like DJ Premier. Hes about as mainstream Hip Hop as it gets.


Jay-Z and Eminem were both extremely good rappers in their prime, and this is coming from someone who listens to a lot of underground/alternative and classic hip hop as well. Say whatever you want about Lil Wayne though, he can't compare to the other two and really shouldn't be grouped with them.

You clearly don't know as much as you think you do, Lil Wayne was easily on par with Eminem, although Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt is way better than anything else by these three. Lil Wayne and Eminem were clearly on par during the 90's. People are cute with trying to be objective without formulating a real opinion. My guess is that you are ignorant to the progression that Lil Wayne has contributed in the past 10 years, and are oblivious to his work when he was 15 with the Hot Boys.


Why are you acting like such a prick? I wasn't trying to objectively state that Eminem and Jay-Z are good and that Lil Wayne is bad, I was trying to share my opinion that Eminem and Jay-Z used to be really, really good and mentioned my other tastes in hip hop because it's pretty clear that the poster I quoted is unhappy with modern mainstream hip-hop, as I am. Hell, I never even said he was bad, I just said I don't think he should be grouped with the other two and that people can be more critical of him with no objection from me. No, I haven't heard Lil Wayne's pre-solo work because I've never actually heard anyone ever really talk about it so I assumed it wasn't anything special compared to his more recent material. I guess it's totally possible that his old stuff is genius. I'm not trying to make myself sound like a hip hop guru here.

Why say "He can't compare", when you clearly have no clue what he has done then? Slandering something you are ignorant to is quite common, however when you do it, expect to be rivaled by someone who educated themselves on the subject. It may sound like im being a prick, but you claiming that Lil Wayne is something to be bashed, while defending two notoriously huge pop stars in the meanwhile is more prickish than me dropping knowledge.


Where did I say that Lil Wayne was to be bashed? I said Lil Wayne can't compare because, in my opinion, based on what I have heard, I don't think Lil Wayne's music is anywhere near as good as my favorite material from the other two rappers. I like some Lil Wayne too, I just think he has made a lot of bad music and no really, really good music. Once again, this is MY opinion based on what I have heard, which is, as we now all know, not fully representative of everything he's ever done. Am I not allowed to give a PERSONAL OPINION, one that was slightly critical at most if I might add, if I don't have 100% of all knowledge pertinent to the subject?

You keep on trying to present my opinion as some sort of fact I believe is true and am trying to push on everyone. It's not. I presented an opinion that I hold and do not expect anyone else to agree with and now you're getting super butthurt over it. I wasn't trying to SLANDER him either, Jesus fucking Christ, I just said I don't think he can compare to two people I believe to have been, at a certain point that was passed long ago, two of my favorite rappers. I didn't mean to insult him or any of his fans. Calm down.

Another funny thing is that you complained about me trying to be objective when you're the one acting like your opinion is the be all end all, while I admit that my opinion is simply that, an opinion. Keep on misinterpreting and overreacting to everything I say if you want so you can "drop" more "knowledge", but I'm done with this conversation as it's getting off topic and will not reply.

Most of it is rap, but I don't put in anything that is dependent on words to get the meaning across. If there were words, they would take my focus off. So, anything with a strong beat tbh.

Haha i come back to this thread and its turned into a big Hip Hop discussion. I like this.

While i do agree that both Jay Z and Eminem where good rappers in their prime as soon as i see something like this

Run this Town & Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z

I get very dissapointed. There was a time when Jay-Z could be called a Hip Hop artist (Regulators Ft Jaz O is one of my favorite songs). That time is gone. Now all he makes is complete trash and i cant help despise him. His style of rapping has changed so much over the years now he just seems to talk slowly.

Sorry if i have offended anyone but i just hate Jay-Z with every fiber of my being.

Amen brother. Can't say I've ever understood the hype and appreciation for his music.

I generally run through really bass heavy hip hop if I'm laddering, cause I use my speakers more often than not. That or I have a playlist similar to what Destiny used to play on his stream; lots of classical, anime OSTs, and some game music because I've loved that stuff for a long time (I don't know what the hell is up with the current stuff he mixes in there now). If I have more time, I'll post up a list.

sigh... I despise the whole 'I like his old stuff better then his new stuff' whine.

This thread is about what music you like to listen to whilst playing SC and thats it.
