  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 12:44 PM Mar 17th via web in reply to The_R_I_
  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 12:25 PM Mar 17th via web
  7. @Combat_Jack I also kinda slept before Madvillain, Operation Doomsday didn't really grab me at the time 7:59 AM Mar 17th via web in reply to Combat_Jack
  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? 4:43 PM Mar 16th via web in reply to dancharnas
  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 1:02 PM Mar 16th via web in reply to dfreelon
  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 12:44 PM Mar 16th via web in reply to dfreelon
  11. .@misterjt Yeah I like the piece mostly for the M1 quote, which ties in nicely with my Lyricism/Capitalism video.. 12:26 PM Mar 16th via web
  12. .@StephonJohnson8 umm I think premise has kernels of truth but gets too overstretched/oversimplified in Gawkeresque stirring of the pot 12:15 PM Mar 16th via web
  13. oh snap, Gawker vs. Jay-Z http://gawker.com/5494550/enough-with-the-jay+z-fetish #shotsfired 11:39 AM Mar 16th via web
  14. @djbmello haha, with that "I AM DROPPING SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE RIGHT NOW" grin he gets going.. #nodisrespectthojaylovestheblastmaster 12:59 AM Mar 16th via web in reply to djbmello
  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" 12:07 AM Mar 16th via web in reply to TheMegatronDon
  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 11:23 PM Mar 15th via web in reply to TheMegatronDon
  17. @AskAChola compared to a lot of other Coen Bros; movies, yes absolutely. :) (not a dis & doesn't mean humor wasn't smart/subtle) 5:53 PM Mar 15th via web in reply to AskAChola
  18. @ToP_RaMeN_DiVa she gets annoyed by certain high-pitched noises, it's usually guitar solos or people screaming in movies 5:20 PM Mar 15th via web in reply to ToP_RaMeN_DiVa
  19. just had to turn off this Joanna Newsom album (which I was quite enjoying) because her voice started to make my cat angry. 5:13 PM Mar 15th via web
  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.." 4:22 PM Mar 15th via web in reply to AskAChola
