I can't access that link right now from work, but that was one of the most ridiculous threads EVER on Soulstrut. One of the main arguments being, you can't have an opinion about music.
I know, that shit was classic! Sadly, only the first of four pages works, so it's a bit of a tease. Still, fun to read.
I've searched high and low for the thread in which you and Fatback go at it over the record reviews, but to no avail. I think that was one of the first threads Fatback posted in. Awesome.
I would love to find some of my old interstellar jawns on here.
When I tried to give you some marquee scroll props on your recent post count status, I was racking my mind (and cache, and bookmarks) for that studio carpet jam you did. If I remember correctly, it started with all jpgs: Drilling down, starting with the galaxy, the universe, the atmosphere, the world, the US... then South Philly, your house, your mind...
That shit was awesome!
That was back in the days (the original black coffee thread) when you and I would trade a hundred PMs in preparation of a thread. Say nothing of it's aftermath.
Damn I miss them days. For serious, that was when shit used to get SET OFF.
Yea man, you used to be really cool. Too bad that your now nothing more than "catering staff" to Cocaine Becky and the Juiced Crew.
Take it easy, you fucking sell out!

I gotta tell you, E. You come up on here every once in a blue moon and kind of put everyone else to shame, or no - you come up on here and set shit right back into proper ~FOCUS~
I'm in Dallas right now, but I hoping that they got a good cup of coffee in this damn hotel I'm staying in.
And YO Castle D. Do you still have that thing? I think you sent it to me, right? I want to get back to that.
It was about 75 minutes after the last of the noise died down, 75 minutes of laying under a car in a pool of oil, laying in a gutter in almost freezing temperature, not knowing what was happening to your boy, and if they were coming to pull you out of your refuge into harsh reality at any moment. 75 minutes until I made the move and pulled myself up out from that car. The street was deserted. It was a ghost town. I looked around for Mingo, hoping that he maybe pulled the same stunt that I did, but I couldn't find him. I was alone, but I was free. And I felt like I was floating. I had taken on the cops and I had won. "Refuse to lose", I said to myself as I started the long walk home. I really believed it, and I still do, but back then it meant something different I guess. Being a youngboy, you never know anything anyway. Little did I know, Mingo escaped the cops that night but got locked up 2 hours later stealing hard boiled eggs out of a Wa Wa. I never saw or spoke to him again, as I was shipped to upstate Maine 4 months later to go to boot camp as an alternative to Juvenile Hall. That wasn't the end of the troubles that I've seen in my life, but perhaps what I went through that night was the beginning of my salvation. I kept on my walk home, staring at the crystalline skies, looking at the stars that you can never see in the city, saying to myself again and again "Refuse to lose. Refuse to lose", feeling unbeatable.
Damn I miss them days. For serious, that was when shit used to get SET OFF.

I been rocking that Woodys Truck Stop on SMASH as a 2006 thing and then re-read on my read-ups and find out that Junkie's Prayer connects it to Phillystrut and Earlystrut and diplo cripple crab on a cold crush cone of custard.
You know there used to be a time where I would read every post in every thread that was posted on this board. A lot of it was really stupid shit, especially the "night crew" classics from late '03/early '04, but a lot of it actually really made me laugh and, better yet, made me think.
This place doesn't make me laugh or think as much anymore.
I have to think for myself.
And laugh at myself.
Them days was good days. But we're somewhere else now. Not worse.

Always better, never bad. JRoot
That was iDOX indeed. As the years have passed, some of the images no longer appear, but I'm sure there's enough to get the idea. I wonder what's going on with dude. Joel (Motown67) and I stayed at his place before meeting in Detroit with some other folks a few years ago, and he was quite the host and entertainer.
As much as I avoid talk about this very place, I will just say there are more people here--the range of perspectives, interests and points of entry has broadened quite a bit, the tempo has changed and by looking at these archives, the people that have been here for a while have changed. (Doesn't Reynaldo seem a lot more clear back then?)
Some shit changed, some shit stayed the same, and as indifferent as I'm getting to most of what's discussed here, the planets do align from time to time.
You and the LA Posse should come to Root Down next week
imma check it but if its the one in LA then HELLZ YEAH! see u then!
Yezzir
And I'm with JRoot 100%. This place done changed, but that's life.
Not to nerd out, but I used to have fun on here back in the day.
hey! what happend to the flier picture. im pretty sure it said

Ha ha Joel! You know was only looking out for you., but you never learned and continue to plagiarize.
He appears to have forgotten that you own him. You must bring your psychological training to bear and introduce him to a world of pain that he cannot begin to imagine.

Back when people gave a shit, man... (haha)
Who's down for a road trip to Toledo?
And AI, your Terrordome story was part of something bigger. What happened with that?
Yea man, you used to be really cool. Too bad that your now nothing more than "catering staff" to Cocaine Becky and the Juiced Crew.
