  1. Big Daddy Kane on the etymology of "freestyle" http://nildoctrine.com/nil/freestyle-etymology/
  2. @Fortitude1913 hence the quotation marks around those words :)
  3. @Fortitude1913 its not my premise, I was linking to an article discussing the premise as put forth by others
  4. The Black church is dead, long live the Black church? http://nildoctrine.com/nil/the-black-church-is-dead-long-live-the-black-church/
  5. @The_R_I_ that's fine except that it contradicts the sentiment of the song he's quoting..it's like quoting KRS One "Beef" in a McDonald's ad
  6. catching up on the new Drake..pretty cool to quote "Bigger Than Hip-Hop," but weird on a song that has so little to say about anything
  7. @Combat_Jack I also kinda slept before Madvillain, Operation Doomsday didn't really grab me at the time
  8. @dancharnas i think he's knocking how much we uncritically internalize the logic of the system we join, not saying we shouldn't join at all?
  9. @dfreelon to an extent, but this is still difft from mindset that excludes artistry from the equation altogether or cites it as a hindrance
  10. @dfreelon I think m1 is talking abt more fundamental shift than that-rappers always wanted $ but skills were understood as means to that end
  11. .@misterjt Yeah I like the piece mostly for the M1 quote, which ties in nicely with my Lyricism/Capitalism video..
  12. .@StephonJohnson8 umm I think premise has kernels of truth but gets too overstretched/oversimplified in Gawkeresque stirring of the pot
  13. oh snap, Gawker vs. Jay-Z http://gawker.com/5494550/enough-with-the-jay+z-fetish #shotsfired
  14. @djbmello haha, with that "I AM DROPPING SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE RIGHT NOW" grin he gets going.. #nodisrespectthojaylovestheblastmaster
  15. @TheMegatronDon ha! true, since then we've learned that when he says "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" it probably means "I'm making stuff up right now"
  16. @TheMegatronDon @djbmello @SheckyGreen I remember I was SO MAD when I bought the Steady B album and that version of Serious wasn't on it
  17. @AskAChola compared to a lot of other Coen Bros; movies, yes absolutely. :) (not a dis & doesn't mean humor wasn't smart/subtle)
  18. @ToP_RaMeN_DiVa she gets annoyed by certain high-pitched noises, it's usually guitar solos or people screaming in movies
  19. just had to turn off this Joanna Newsom album (which I was quite enjoying) because her voice started to make my cat angry.
  20. @AskAChola a lot of their movies (No Country For Old Men/Miller's Crossing/Blood Simple) aren't as straightforward & ha-ha funny as "Burn.."
