  • I've no problem with popularity or success or a wide audience. My sticking point is striving for that instead of striving for the thing that causes that: greatness. I've no doubt that when The Stooges recorded their eponymous album they were f*ckin…
  • im working on a 25 of my own -- v. difficult
  • could not disagree w/ bambouche more -- how u can universalize the experience of music like that, its borderline fascistic -- music is about the interpretation of symbols by the individual imo, youre buying into the fallacy that an authentic truth c…
  • i think the honesty/personal nature of the lists makes it a lot more interesting than the usual 'no way is x better than y' no stfu shawnna will not be on my list
  • new project pat Is this worth checking out? yeah i dig it, i mean do u like old pp?
  • new b-real & project pat cds stat quo mixtape bigga rankin's 'zone 6 to duval' gucci mixtape p brothers
  • strongly disagree that chris brown was not contributing hot music Moderators, please strongly consider a ban. do u ever get tired of sounding old & out of touch
  • ill amend: his career, in its current incarnation, is & should be over -- obv im all about rehab & reinvention in that vein but ... i dunno. think about all the ways that could go 'wrong'. some woe-is-me tracks, some tracks about how folks a…
  • strongly disagree that chris brown was not contributing hot music that said, it was so based on his image as a clean inoffensive golden boy that its kinda impossible to hear his music the same way his career is, & should be, over
  • im not that cynical. i have faith that folks up the ladder are gonna realize how fucked this is. esp when those pictures are out there, & since so many ppl 'know' rihanna as opposed to a girl no one knows (which is wrong imo but thats still how …
  • that dude's career is over
  • i have been known to wear a blue herringbone cashmere scarf looks cool imo

  • i love electric bath, one of my favorites
  • i dunno tho i dont think you can say swizz' keyboard sound was particularly 'southern', those records still scream new york to me, dmx is very new york. i think there's just a generational shift going on there too cuz there were southern rap records…
  • im forgetting 50 cent obviously -- in da club was '03's biggest single even tho the album came out in '02 ... im gonna say whatever the first big southern single was post-in da club (probably 'get low')
  • man the thing u dudes are all missing (& keep in mind ive been in chicago for all this so this is about impressions more than firsthand obviously) is that the east coast is also a part of its own fall -- the biggest selling east coast records w…
  • i don't mind this song (college, right?). its a little too afro man for my taste, but, as someone who's dj'd quite a bit of college parties in the past, i'd rather hear frat guys go nuts for this song than sing along to whatever rap record yelling o…
  • I also think that this just the beginning of the new influx of douche-bag rap. I feel old and cynical, and I need a hit of Geto Boys "It Aint Shit" to re-set my levels. Don't fret Big Mike to the rescue! this is the shit
  • somebody needs to write an rap article (see: message board post) about blog payola, the sudden influx of these unknown blog rappers and the benzino effect. would probably make for an interesting read that i wouldnt be bothered to care about. i agre…
  • Why are you hating? Seriously. Dude's making music, maybe it's not for you, so then don't listen. hippies
  • would have preferred Drama stuck with promoting new LA the Darkman
  • I just don't get how dudes like this are out there and Gucci Mane gets shine. No sense to me. this is so f*cking backwards my head is exploding
    in Drake? Comment by deej February 2009
  • wtf is with the constant disco threads lately two years ago u dudes were constantly hating Huh...I've been on the board for more than four years and it seems like it's been a steady stream of constant disco threads for the duration. disagree. thi…
  • wtf is with the constant disco threads lately two years ago u dudes were constantly hating
  • Not really my kind of rap at all ...but you were there to see kanye?
  • its not rap its not better than akon or tpain or even santogold i like the song more than any MIA tracks ive heard but i understand why ppl invested in MIA would disagree
  • sounds like some emo-soul/rap music That's what's wrong with it. There's undeniably a market for this kind of thing, i.e., people who want to like rap, but who aren't comfortable with certain idiomatic aspects of it, very few of which are evident …
  • soulja boy has several hits on kid cudi right now but i think the reason kanyes boosting cudi & not like, the cool kids, is bcuz cudi has a proven record of actually getting radio play & fan interaction beyond the niche
  • this is also a legit hit. u go on imeem & some teenager will have this shit next to, like, gucci & rick ross & that one mia song from pineapple express, lol
