Rappers React To The Cure "Pictures Of You"!!!

[@KaniskaGhosh]

'Disintegration' is one of the greatest albums ever, irrespective of genres. 'The Cure' has some magnificent songs like 'Fascination Street', 'Disintegration', 'Lullaby', 'Lovecats' etc.

[@Chris.Davis.2]

I was hooked by Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me.

[@quakerorts]

Came here to recommend Fascination Street next. Also, The Forest and Hot, Hot, Hot.

[@TheBillproject]

Disintegration is the best album ever! - Southpark ! they made Smith into a superhero in an episode

[@GrayNeko]

Kyle spoke the truth! ^_^

[@markhagerman1837]

This is from their 1989 album Disintegration. It’s their best album, IMO. The entire album is incredible.

[@davidmatheny1993]

The extended version of this song is absolutely phenomenal. I never get tired of the guitar tone on songs like this, "Just Like Heaven" and "In Between Days".

[@BlairandGeorgie]

I was going to say the same. The intro is amazing on the studio version. They cut it down.

[@davidrobinson5664]

Started out in the late 70s believe it or not. Couple of early songs, "Killing an Arab", "Boys Don't Cry", and about 20 more albums!

[@co2_dire_wolf]

The Cure is Post-Punk / Gothic Rock band

[@allengator1914]

Robert Smith said they weren't Goth and that real Goth bands got pissed when people said The Cure were Goth.

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

​​@@allengator1914 Robert Smith did that to piss off the Smiths fans that would say the same about the Smiths.

[@DJ-bj8ku]

Glam, New Wave, Gothic, whatever label you want to give it. It’s all rock music.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

​@@allengator1914he can say that but every goth looks like him😂

[@happymethehappyone8300]

A MUST SEE/HEAR track,, The Cure "Lullaby" (Official Music Video A MUST!!) 🔥

[@ginjamutha]

That is my favourite The Cure track ❤

"Disintegration is the best album ever!" Stan Marsh

[@christiandent7211]

The Cure are an amazing unique band over such a long period.

[@ajruther67]

Emo was not a thing in the 80's. The Cure were *New Wave*

[@DJ-bj8ku]

These labels are worthless, really. What’s New Wave anyway? I remember Bowie asking Lennon what he thought of Glam. Lennon said it was rock music with lipstick. That’s the Cure.

[@ajruther67]

@@DJ-bj8ku It's not worth my time to explain it to you

[@preston74]

Robert Smith, David Bowie, and Billy Idol all wore makeup. Just saying 😉

[@CuccoBilli]

The Cure have an amazing catalogue. "The Forest", "One Hundred Years" and "Push" are absolute bangers!

[@sheilabarbee5231]

Robert Smith sounds as good at 60 as he did in 1980! He is amazing talent!!! Songwriting, guitarist! I love the Cure! He and his wife have been marry for 35 years. Some said he was goth. But he said no. He wears black,lipstick,eyeliner,still does.

[@seamusburke639]

Got to see them live on tour last year. Show was magical. The first encore onward was nothing but hits. The crowd was even feeling the new songs from the upcoming album, holding up their phones without prompting. Robert seemed touched.

[@MrYossarianuk]

Disintegration was their best album (and one of the best songs) - even South park says so. For me its Fascination street (on Disintegration also). Its all about the bass lines...

[@mikethemotormouth]

Fascination St is my fave also

[@markhagerman1837]

I agree with everything said. Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me was great and then Disintegration was even better.

[@kobolslastgleamingdragon3732]

Agree on “Fascination Street”. It was one of my go-to songs for getting dressed for clubbing in the early ‘90’s.

[@michaelseiger2966]

The cure, no genre, just LEGENDS!

[@anthonyv1719]

All the alternative kids AND the preppy kids loved them in high school. Goth music that is happy go lucky. Brilliant. He still sings great live although he looks like your Aunt Edna now.

[@austinwiththehat]

The cure are amazing. Their songs come from the heart. Burn from the crow soundtrack is my favourite I think but it’s close with pretty much every other song they released

[@stephaniegeer1691]

Yes,BURN from the Crow soundtrack is awesome!!! 🎶🔥✌

[@AceAnnie1-7]

Yes, I love that too!

[@Synthcronized]

That song is fire 🔥

[@Shammrock62]

should have dome the extended version. Killer intro.

[@analuisahering2043]

YES !!!! It's almost like foreplay !!! Most reactions don't though...

[@paulsutch907]

The cure had such a unique and instantly recognisable sound. Years ahead of their time.

[@Nemeth45]

I love The Cure

[@Nemeth45]

The album version is better as it is longer.

[@bonniebennett6866]

Lol, we know nemeth😅

[@muzikkification]

amazing song, amazing album, amazing band!

[@nathanclarke2777]

This song was written after a fire happened at Robert Smiths house that almost burned everything! Robert took the only thing he knew he'd miss if it was gone, a photo album. He wrote the song only for him and his girlfriend (now wife) but she thought it was so good she wanted him to put it on an album!

[@Crackracket]

The cure is always good

[@christophermcconnell3867]

Old punk and metal guy, but The Cure are in my top five bands ever. You may like “Burn” from the movie “The Crow” (original, not the remake) good reaction

[@drew65sep]

Arguably, the most successful "New Wave" band...at least, that's what we used to call em back in the 80's.

[@yankeesmegw]

Beautifully sad song

[@PhantomHT1320]

mthrfkkr are you wearing a WHALERS hat?? i was born in Binghamton, NY. i think when i was born the Dusters [?] were playing in the Arena but soon after it was the Whalers. :)

[@lisagarcia7716]

The band formed in the late 70's..still performing..just saw them last summer at M.S.G...still my favorite band!

[@marcharley6465]

My favourite period of The Cure is the mid-80s, when they released a series of great pop singles, all of which charted well in the UK. Rappers React should check out "The Love Cats", which is a happy, weird jazz/pop song and a big hit on this side of the pond.

[@dannjp75]

I was always told that “prevention is better than the cure” but cannot find any songs by Prevention anywhere. Must’ve been an obscure one hit wonder.🤷🏼‍♂️

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Lol 🤪..But on a serious note..Robert Smith is a fan of/collabed with the group he feels is even better,, The Twilight Sad",, with plenty of songs for you to check out.

[@amyz2837]

I see what you did there. :-)

[@michellez1414]

Post punk is my fave genre. I love tge million pieces rock broke into after Johnny Rotten screamed ANARCHY. Cure were on the London scene, and Robert Smith played with Siouxsie as the Banshees were being born. Disintegration, released in 89, was the mainstream breakthrough for them. Several songs got onto 120 minutes on MTV, radios picked them up. Then their next album made them household names with Friday I'm in Love.

[@metalguru85]

The Cure has a plethora of hits that are worthy of a deep dive. Friday I'm In Love is probably their biggest hit.

[@stonyb4046]

You should try A Forest from 1980 It's a Banger

[@Swisswavey]

One of my favourite bands. They've done so, so so many great songs with a lot of variety but his voice is always so recognisable. I think Catch might be my favourite, but it'll likely be different tomorrow 😂

[@nicepunk00]

They were the best live performance I've seen in concert.

[@bethdealmeida6789]

Awesome band! And it's Robert Smith's (lead singer) bday today! 🎂Happy Birthday❤❤❤

[@tbone2071]

These guys were my favorite 80's KROQ band

Archaeologists now believe that the Great Pyramid of Giza (at least) was built by tens of thousands of skilled workers who camped near the pyramids and worked for a salary or as a form of tax payment (levy) until the construction was completed, pointing to workers' cemeteries discovered in 1990. Wikipedia

[@jackierineer7521]

I saw them in concert in the early 90’s, the most boring concert I have ever been to, I was highly disappointed but came home with an amazing contact buzz!😂

[@ignorethefashion]

Also Deftones have done a cover of If Only Tonight We Can Sleep by The Cure. It's an amazing cover and you should check out the live version from MTVs Icon.

[@ligmaballs2022]

I discovered their Disintegration album after watching a scene in the Ant-Man movie where him and Yellowjacket were fighting in a suitcase. But i listened to the title track instead of the song that was playing in the movie 'Plainsong'. Nirvana biographer Michael Azzerad said the sound of Disintegration was 'the culmination of the musical directions the band were pursuing over the course of the 80s', combining the gothic rock of the gothic trilogy of their 2nd to 4th albums from '80 to '82, and the new wave pop of Japanese Whispers, The Head on the Door and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.

[@jangles1839]

The Cure was never a band I was a big fan of but, I certainly know some of their music. Hearing it just seems to take me back and I'm sorta reminded of my life during that time when their music was popular

[@sterling8298]

The cure is such a great band. My older sister was the one that told me about this band way back in the day.😊🎉 I guess I have my whole family to thank for all the music I like these days.😊😊😊

[@paulsmith2516]

The Cure are GOTH. Pure Goth. They and Siouxsie and the Banshees essentially created the genre. So not post punk, not New Wave not "Alternative", THEY ARE GOTH. Indeed Robert Smith and Siouxsie Sioux are known as the King and Queen of the Goths.

[@jimmymac4559]

“Fascination Street” would probably be your favorite Cure song. The groove will blow you away.

[@pavanbiliyar]

I keep associating The Cure's music with high school prom, in my mind.

[@PeeWeeGerman1313]

Never been a big fan of The Cure but Burn from The Crow soundtrack was always a good one!

[@nexus8796]

Would like to see "disintegration" by the cure on this channel. Robert Smith goes all out in it Reminds me of MJK from Tool.

[@glitter_bombed]

i also have a love/hate relationship with this band. there's a handful of songs of theirs that i like, a couple that i love, and one that makes me foam at the mouth with rage ("lovecats").

[@annewoodard6803]

Almost every band did a ballad at some point, this is theirs. The Cure has some bangers worth checking out.

The cure are multiversatile genre but they shine in more dark tone with post punk/goth rock , but they can do everything pop, Jazz, funk, electropop.....and there is not EMO in 80's and 90's.....

I think you guys will like “Burn”….they wrote it for the original “The Crow” soundtrack, so it’s a little darker and more goth rock. Amazing song.

[@mattiefee]

The extended version has an amazingly long suspenseful intro.

There are many excellent songs from The Cure. Try "A Forest" and "The Hanging Gardens" for a different experience.

A Forest, The Hanging Garden, The Lovecats or Charlotte Sometimes. Can’t go wrong with any of these Cure songs.
