    oh my god. I'm dying over here. I thought Harvey Anal's spoken diatribe was hilarious (unintenionally) but that random reference made me burst out in laughter.

    Evidentally, you do not lack the genetic make-up.

    I can't believe this is a 4-pager.

    lest we not forget the original point: The Groove Merchant =

    Yeah, dude, I'm moving to Brooklyn tomorrow in hopes of becoming a Def Poet.

    Maybe you can lend me some fashion tips so that I'll fit in once I ultimately get on the level of the Common's and Mos Def's of that scene.

    Hearty Anal:

    I'm not sure if your brave or just dumb, but you should really just stop posting around here. If we really want to go there ("kufi's" and "fashion snaps") I can have some pull up that photo of you with Trae and have some more laughs at your expense.

    Even Mos Def's last album was way more listenable than 95% of Project Blowed material, and new danger was fuckin' terrible.

    I know that writing graffiti with the same utensil you use to fashion your penciled-on goatee is some sort of of hip-hop proficency, but somehow your barbs don't even remotely sting me.

    Hey, it worked for the Fab Five, or at least Jalen Rose.

    So the Ray Jackson look ain't no longer in?

    My wife won't let me leave the house with white socks on, by the way.

    And those particular socks are only ankle-length...I swear.

    If they don't bother you why are you acting ass-hurt with playground-level "barbs"?

    but come on, Archie...hit me with some heat

    I think you mean carpet munching not carpetbagging.

    The best look in the thread is that cool chris dude who hasn't bothered to respond to this doo doo. And the guy even starts a thread trying to help his buddy find his stolen merch.

  • Your article is fine. It's obvioulsy your personal experience and thus it shouldn't have been written any other way.

    But still, it points to issues of disconnectedness, where little dudes can acquire the scoop on black culture without having to interact with any actual members of that culture.

    I'll leave it at that for now, for I'm really not trying to diss your academic, ivory tower steez yet again, but I would really think that a writer with your credentials could stomach my between-the-lines analysis without getting all boo-hoo about it.

    It's not like my rants are being distributed alongside your article with every issue of the Tribune.

    God, I want to say some stuff I shouldn't, so I won't.

    I just spent 20min. reading through all of that...

    I went to the Groove Merchant only one time, but the shopowner was very pleasant. He let me look through the rare records that he just priced, and politely said "thanks a lot bro" after my purchase. As a little dude, I tend to get somewhat intidimidated by small specialty shops that have an elitist air about them, but not this one.

    Now that multiple people have reiterated this sentiment, I've gotta ask...

    What would Cool Chris even need to respond to?

    I don't recall criticizing him for anything.

    It's a great shop he's got there. I've never thought anything but that.

    If I did, that's at least 3 less hissy fits that you'd get to indulge in per week.

    You'd have to fill your quota elsewhere.

    Never that.
