if she was to do a collabo with a hip-hop artist who would it be?

Lupe Fiasco.

I love that man

not to throw off the topic, actually you guys can just answer both questions but here's my second question...she had said on one of her interviews that she never really know what the f@!k she means in most of her songs, so which songs are powerful to you? lyrics wise. Oh and dont forget the hip-hop collabo...and no Lil Jon is not hip-hop...more like Talib Kweli and Mos Def

I can't answer this question cuz I know nothing about hip-hop. I do hope this never happen, though. With all due respect.

To me, her most powerful songs are Braille and Chemo Limo. Mockingbird is pretty intense too. Oh, and Pound of Flesh... there are many, but these are the first ones that come to mind.

yea, i don't really enjoy modern hiphop opposed to old school.

and i believe her most powerful songs are (agreeing with Cynthia) "Pound of Flesh",
"Blue Lips", "Belt", and i dont know why but "Hero of the Story" gives me shivers, when she sings that "im the hero of the story, dont need to be saved" at the end loud, my god i die!
and theres something about the flow of "Aint No Cover" and "One String Blues" that strikes me like bricks. especially the part about sweetness inside her lungs. love it!

I also can't really answer the first question. But as for the second, I'll have to agree with Wallflower and Cynthia, with Hero Of The Story, Braile and Pound of Flesh. Of course, there are others.

I see her doin' some sh!t with Nas.

As for her saying she doesn't know what her songs are about... that's the same thing that Dylan says. I never knew if I should believe them or not. I think it's pretty darn hard to write a song with literally no idea at all of what you're saying. I mean, it can be done, but usually songs written that way don't make any sense, and I think many of Reginas songs make some fairly reliable sense. Not that I'm doubting her, I'm just thinking outloud.

it took me longer than it should have to realise what collabo meant. It was the 'o' at the end messing me up I tells ya! Collab would've been easy. Maybe I'm just losing it.

I'd like to hear RJD2 make a beat for Regina to sing on.

People that could possibly sing alongside her: The dude from the Streets, the Spooks, or the guy that rhymes on the Morcheeba track "Big Calm"

Being a 42 year old swamp waddler, the idea of Regina having anything to do with that talentless nonsense turns my stomach, but then I think "Reno 911" is brilliant comedy so what do I know.

omg i love reno 911 that sh*t is so funny haha i still have yet to see the movie though..someday soon i hope.

i think she should do some work with timbaland or perhaps go old school with run dmc haha

Don't forget Team America: World Police

Hey man that talentless nonsense music may not be your cup of swamp juice, but there ARE some great talented people out there. Mind you I find modern Hip Hop and Rap, shall we say, hollow (read: I hate it) - there is still good stuff happening. Just not in the mainstream, as with pretty much every other genre of music/entertainment.

On a related note, on the way back from snowboarding this weekend we were listening to sattellite radio and a station called Backspin. It was so great. All classic hip hop, all the time. I'm talkin' early 80's / 70's stuff with some early 90's that didn't suck too.

sunshine redneck, I don't think you can listen to a few mainstream hip-hop songs and dismiss the entire genre as "talentless nonsense." Hip-hop is amazing; it's a fusion of jazz, soul, folk, etc etc.

Gulag Bordello...or whatever they're called.

Do you mean Gogol Bordello? They aren't hip hop however - more like Gypsy Punk. The name you wrote though reminds me of Gulag Orkestar, Beirut's first album, which is also Gypsy-ish since it's mostly Balkan music. Both bands are great and would be excellent with Regina. Neither are hip hop.
