Rapidshare is being a horseshit lately. No empty slots for <200KB files? Horseshit! I'm not going to sign up for such small files. Please provide The Corner with a better alternative. Thank you.

Best thread idea I've ever seen in this section.

thanks.

Thanks. I'll check out what kind of bullshit about hip hop they're teaching kids these days.

 

[S. Fourteen]

I read it. I think I'll print it out and give it to my friend who's been quoting Relapse lines.

This is the only decent one (it used to be some dude's dissertation): Amazon.com: Making Beats: The Art of Sample-Based Hip-Hop (Music Culture) (9780819566966): Joseph G. Schloss: Books

Most of these are bullshit sociology essays by angry Public Enemy fans and not actually about rap music.

^While I agree that most (all) sociology research papers are bullshit and written for the sole purpose of academic dick jerking, they're not written with distaste for rap music. Also, the ones I posted deal directly with rap lyrics. If you look them up, they're all, except for one, young white women who went to liberal schools.


..and you know young white liberal girls don't mind a lil rap music.

 

[S. Fourteen]

^ pics or get the fuck out

 

[S O F I]

^pics of young white women who don't mind rap music?

 

[S. Fourteen]

women who don't mind rap music

I'm not sure where to begin with this one. So many things to say but I don't feel like ranting.

 

[S O F I]

^Fuck off. I didn't know what you needed pics for. It was that simple. Motherfucker I assume if you want to know what the authors look like, you would simply google their names and their faculty profiles would pop up dumbass.

 

[S. Fourteen]

the amount of miscommunication we're having here and in the movie thread is too much for me. I blame you.

Pics or GTFO = means nothing

I'm not sure where to begin with this one. = Objectification (mentioned in the article). Corruption of young minds (I do not belong to the Republican party). Dismissal of rap music (mostly due to some sort of feminist ideology).

YOU fuck off. Go watch your standard def. movies! :fury:
