You think? The Frankfurt school could have been down with PB, but I'm sure Benjamin would have loved battling at the open mic. OK, this may sound a little kooky, but think about it: could Busdriver be channeling the spirit of Benjamin? I'm just saying....
Archaic! What do you think?
Your over moderating is ruining this important thread of the ages.
Dude, if I was going to over-moderate I would have deleted this abomination pages ago. Just be happy I limited myself to introducing D&D and a healthy injection of theory.
Actually, I think all of the voices vying for attention in this thread aptly mirrors the open mic sessions so vital to the PB philosophy. This, my friends, is the real schitt right here.
Do I really need sarcasm tags in my posts?
I knew you were being sarcastic, don't worry. I was just looking for an excuse to keep this beast chugging along. Where did Archaic go? We've come up with some good arguments and here's not responding.

busting "real world" moves*
*Complaining about us on the PB board.
**and applying an anaesthetic to his posterior (PAUSE)
how do you manage to blast so many people on internet chatrooms 24 hours a day while still keeping your ears to the street? let us in on your secret, street guru.
who the [email]fu@@[/email] (beside einstein and possibly docbitch because he hates on me in general) said i wasn't funny??!!! damnit!
whoa slow down playa. I dont hate you. Whats with the name callin?
This new introdunction to the thread should hopefully catapult it a few pages further....!
Lets hope so anyways!!!!
I was hoping as well, but I guess it is going ignored.
not ignored, i had to go to the post office. I thought maybe us razzing eachother might get this to 15 but then i remembered I had to go on a cruise today. I was just throwing out the bait, poor realing on my part. no hardfeelings.
oh yeah ff13 for life

I know I'm not supposed to post anything further to this thread...but I gotta say that I just visited CocaineBlunts and saw that there was a post on PEACE this week...and I have no complaints whatsoever about what Noz wrote about him.
Just to show y'all that I'm not ALWAYS discontented by the opinions of others.
Now, off to see each of K-Rino, Young Bleed, Money Waters, Scarface, Basswood Lane, and Casino & Gutta Gang perform this weekend...

I made the Swayze user during the conversion to 'own' posts that because of problems in the old database where the posts existed but the user record that made the post didn't, either because of bannings, deletions, or tech problems. I didn't want to leave old posts behind and posts have to belong to an account so Swayze became the catch-all account for orphaned or f'ed up posts from the old system.
Have any of you overzealous Blowed haters on here changed your uninformed opinions at all since seeing the This Is the Life documentary?
I am more convinced of the scene's value, but not of its influence.
There are some kind of pathetic moments in that movie with dudes talking about "We almost took over hip-hop!" and "this scene was just as important as the Southern scene!"
This is the Life was great, BTW. We just couldn't figure out why Acey wasn't in it. Got to hang with Ridd, 2Mex, and Xinxo a lot a while back and heard lots of history and stories.
That swayze thing confused me too. I was reading the thread and got to the part about hearing hot potato in the desert and I thought "hey that happened to me too" and then I realized it was me. But then I didn't think I would ever say the percentage of black people that listen to project blowed. Eventually I realized that cashless and I are the same person.

On influence...
Ice Cube and Da Lynch Mob borrowing from Volume 10.
Eazy E and Bone Thugs borrowing from Freestyle Fellowship.
Dr. Dre tapping part-time Good Lifers RBX and Kurupt for The Chronic.
Right there, the 3 arms of the NWA empire, all with significant connections.
Then there was Menace Clan getting snatched up by Rap-A-Lot, which literally brought LA Crip culture to Houston...then the next thing you know it's 98-99 and Z-Ro and the Guerilla Maab are claiming blue and putting out double-timed, Crip-styled rhymes that approximated the simultaneous offerings from the Good Life's Eastside Badstads.
And let's not forget that Z-Ro has interpolated Ahmad's Back in the Day somewhere along that way.
Changing gears a bit, Lyricist Lounge seemed very much to be a NYC's reaction to the Good Life. Rawkus even put out an Aceyalone 12" at a certain point.
Hieroglyphics were such Freestyle Fellowship reactionaries that they over-adapted a misconstrued concept of freestyling to their own folly in that extremely historic Casual vs. Saafir battle.
Other Good Life disciples, the Living Legends crew, along with several of their Projct Blowed counterparts helped develop markets across Europe and Canada and Australia for more obscured US artists to be able to tap and continue careers in rap long beyond many of their more mainstream peers have managed.
Bizarre Ride II tha Pharcyde, including Passing Me By, doesn't happen either without a Good Life influence.
There's more I could mention, but I'll stop there.

Don't forget about Microphone Mike ghostwriting for NWA and the Posse. :coolsmile:

So how did you come to ghostwrite for the NWA and the Posse album?
I was hanging out with this guy Sean [Thomas], and his brother Xavier had a group called Rappinstine. They said they had an opportunity to do a record with a brother named Dr. Dre and they gave me fifty dollars to write each song! The most known one was called ???Scream.???
I only got fifty dollars, but they gave me the ???M. Troy??????my real name???in parenthesis on the credits on the original NWA compilation, so I got to contribute to that. And through the years, I???ve always known of Dr. Dre and he???s always known of me, and that association has always helped me out. It???s the same with Eazy-E, RIP, he was always playing me stuff by artists he was working on to get my opinion, like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
What did you think of Bone Thugs?
I thought they were dope, especially as they were running down similar lines to us; they had their own style, but people would attribute what they???re getting from us, because that style wasn???t around then. Some people would say that the Jaz and Jay-Z???s ???The Originators??? was flipping the styles and then the Fellowship came out, but we were flipping styles before that came out.

that's a relief!
Can someone explain SWAYZE to me? That user name appears to be both Gary Dizzy Bull and Cashless, but with the same post count.
Yeah, I was also wondering about that
