Magic Bus: never reopened Dragon's Den: new management, now with a coffeeshop on the first floor instead of the Thai rest. still some interesting live jazz and eclectic stuff. Jim Russel's sucks on principle.. don't like the dudes. Find a record y…

Otomo Yoshihide Christian Marclay Martin Tetreault Erik M dunno about articles, but those are some worthwhile turntable abusers to look up in this vein..

so sentimental.. jr. high.. zulu medallions everywhere

But on the several occasions when a tread is started about white people, all people do is make jokes. The TREAD was a joke. Oh yeah - UPTIGHT.

Also: I'm with Noz, too. I bet Bill O'Riely would NYOils call for the advancement of the black community through killing gangster rappers. "All you bullshit MCs: Yall are on notice" too simplistic.. but allow me to do the same: Republicans with t…

I don't agree with his assessment of violence against those rappers, but I can at least understand his frustration and understand that he does represent a segment that is not being represented very well in the current urban music climate. i agree wi…

People will try to blame everything from rap to pork to pants sizes. But let's face it, these are the lingering effects of slavery and this society continues to distance itself from real discussion about this. That's so sad. .....and we reduce this…

As a white dude, it's pretty easy for me to be indifferent to black problems. [/devil's advocate]

For the rest of you.... This is a black issue and quite frankly most of us do not want your help solving black problems any longer .... I respect that idea fully, and I understand the reasoning behind it.. and yet: I worked for a white small rec…

an artist of his calibur. which is what exactly? Ex-calibur. he doesn't sound hungry anymore.

Maybe I hate seeing the status quo reinforced. Maybe I'd like to see an end to soul-crushing poverty. Maybe I was expecting more than just showbiz as usual. Maybe I was expecting rappers in positions of power to shake things up. Maybe that will …

You sound ass-hurt! just setting you up for another cute joke... hey, I'll play the straight man and you play the funny man, howsabout that? here we go: Where are the philosphical arguments you usually like to use to justify your opinions? Aren'…

YOU SOUND WHITE. Well yes, I should hope I do "sound" white. My blood is red... like yours I would think. You sound a bit turquoise to me.

think you're asking a question that has more to do with human nature through the eons than T.I, Crack rap, Iraq. sure.. and it's funny that you mention the history of literature, as I am an autodidact with little knowledge of specific lines of thi…

And I actually like the populist leanings of commercial radio wheras you seem to postulate that if something appeals to a mass market it MUST suck. I don't agree with the assumptions you take to be fact. Hmm.. interesting how you use an ASSUMPTION …

I don't agree with the assumptions you take to be fact. as you shouldn't... they were generalizations to make a point, but that's the trees for the forest: We are embroiled in Iraq, and radio is mostly controlled by large private interests spinning…

are you lupe fiasco or just his ghostwriter? Yes and yes.. and I'm currently at work on Diddy's next album as well as the upcoming X-Clan comeback.

Checking account zeros and fancy cars are not measurements of productive members of society. You're completely right. ??? Well Mr. Faux... I've been awaiting your presence. Do you think the message of money for its own sake is a more important co…

do you really expect me to read that whole thing No. Don't bother.

Just venting, trying to stir the pot a little around here other than the usual sports team type of manly arguments. The immediate interest here in my personal life (college education, race) neatly plays into my view of "authenticity" (thanks for il…

What rock music do you guys think these dudes should be into? whatever they want, really.. but just look at someone like Timbaland who makes some real creative stuff, he'll talk big in interviews about his multi-platinum peers because of how bankab…

i recall primo's taste ran a little to the goth side in that waxpo interview. well, i remember he likes AC/DC .. and that's a damn good pick vs. Jay: Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Coldplay ....and doesn't Scarface like Coldplay too? What's with tou…

Perhaps rap music once was made by people much younger than you, but you know as well as I do that this is no longer the case. Rap has grown older as a genre, as have the people who listen to it, the people who make it, play it, etc. [/lurk]Phill M…

It's no fucking conspiracy. It's the continued neglect of the poorest in this country. It's capitalism. It's class. It's race. Make no mistake, this isn't a New Orleans thing or a Southern thing, this is your United States of America. My family an…

the "over your head" statement wasn't referring to the Quas album, it was referring to my self-deprecating humor in claiming that a line about toilet paper & shit was "art". Irony, nowhamsayin, it clearly wasn't picked up on. And f*ck the 8th …

Ignore the lyrical flow? Tell me you could listen to him rhyme a full album with someone elses production.Hell no. One line cant prove his effectiveness. He does say witty things here and there,but cmon son,hes no DEL,Kool Keith,or top five "abstr…

havent heard the new quas but soemtimes LP's are better listened to in its entirety as opposed to as singles. That's a problem with alot of hip-hop, the albums don't hold up as a whole. That's one of the reasons the new Quasimoto is dope - it's a r…
