Fort Minor- Cigarettes

This is a really good song, it kind of gives you a different perspective of rap music

Yeah, the song's great. One of the most creative concepts I've ever come across in rap.

Surprisingly good!

I was never that big a fan of Fort Minor because I assumed they would be pretty manufactured and I always associate them with Linkin Park subconsciously. But this is impressive. I may have to check out that album.

Nah, this nothing like Linkin Park. He called himself Fort Minor so that the name Mike Shinoda wouldn't immediately associate it with Linkin Park.

That doesn't have anything to do with him drawing attention away from Mike Shinoda and Linkin Park though lmfao

I used to steal albums from wal-mart like once a week for about 6 months straight back in 06, i never even heard of Fort Minor but at the time Wal-Mart still had those things where you could put the cd case bar code under the machine and it would play samples of some of the songs, i heard like 10 seconds of Remember The Name, didn't giove a fuck what the rest of the album sounded like, i opened the case, took the cd out, stuffed it in my coat and me and my friends walked out, fuckin played that cd non stop for about 4 weeks, me and the 2 friends i used to ride with at the time were always making road trips to wal mart (In Iowa living in a small town, going to Wal Mart is a 45 mile ride), so we always made the best of the trip, either going to the mall, which was the same distance, and about the same size as a regular wal mart, or we went to wal-mart, 45 miles the other way, which was a super wal mart, and then we went to sub way, the reason for this story is basicly cuz i'm bored but also because it brings back alot of memories, and the fact that Fort Minor was the last cd i stole from Wal Mart before i got caught, but Fort Minor is fucking great, would love more music from them.
