[roaches]

Perhaps I should've phrased it better. "Which culture do you admire most?".

I don't know.
My answer remains the same.
Naw.

[Aggravated]

ten best lyricists of all time?

 

[roaches]

Define "lyricist" first.

 

[XIAN]

I don't know, those seem like two different things to me. Breaking down the elements of a record and looking at its mechanics analytically is a good way of figuring out what you like or don't like about a record. Numerical ratings are what message board kids do in lieu of an ability to consciously do that or properly articulate that.

"I'm not feeling Talib Kweli. His overusage of bad similes is getting more annoying with the passage of time, and he still hasn't figured out how to write to the beat. Some rappers just rap through the loop and compensate by shortening the next rhyme or rapping a little faster or slower throughout the line to keep their flow, but Kweli tries to cram it all into the last bar of music, and he's been doing it for so long he probably thinks it's dope and part of his signature style. You used to be able to overlook that shit before because of his subject matter and production, but nowadays he's watered down his content to fit in with the mainstream hip-hop audience. As for the beats these days, the beats on this album seem like a haphazard collection of different styles in hopes of eventually pleasing everyone."

vs.

"Talib Kweli's new CD is wack. I rate it:
Track 1: 2/5
Track 2: 3/5
Track 3: 1/5
Track 4: 0/5 (so wack lol)
Track 5: 2/5
Track 6: 2.5/5
Track 7: pi*2/3 / 5
Track 8: square root of 2 / 5
Track 9: 5/5 (best song on the album, he should do the whole thing this style!!)
Track 10: 2/5
Track 11: 3/5
Track 12: 2/5
Track 13: 1/5
Track 14: 3.25/5"

Different things, mayne.

The Beautiful Struggle? That shit was good!

"You say you never scared
there's kids in other countries making jerseys, jeans, and sneakers they could never wear
parents never there
They're busy building homes they cant affod to buy
Cars they cant afford to drive, working jobs that dont support their life
You busy screaming gangsta gangsta all that talk is trife
you already lost the fight if you dont know the cost of life
These kids are forced to fight a war they cant outrun
aint got no shoes but got a gun now where the fuck he pulled that out from
people ask me how we wearing diamonds
when theres little kids in Sierra Leone losing arms for crying while they're mining
probably an orphan whos momma died of AIDS
he built a coffin working often but he never paid
forever slaving in the world thats forever cold
becoming the man of the house at 11 years old
this reality rap i get inside the mentality that
terrorize you like a cowardly act"

The Beautiful Struggle? That shit was good!

No it wasn't. That shit was like previously unreleased plague that God and Moses decided not to release because they didn't think the Egyptian audience would get it.

 

[Jebus]

^^^^^^^^^^^Damn

To be honest I thought "Going Hard"(even with the old first verse) and "Beautiful Struggle"were fucking gems, and "Black girl pain wasnt that bad"

But the rest ummm.....


Anyway Whats better UFC Wrestling or boxing

Your thoughts on Kanye

Whats the diffrence between a Mc and a Rapper

Will you be purchasing the new little brother.

Why has this year sucked for rap?

 

[roaches]

To be honest I thought "Going Hard"(even with the old first verse) and "Beautiful Struggle"were fucking gems, and "Black girl pain wasnt that bad"

There were a couple of good beats. "Ghetto Show" and "Black Girl Pain" were okay because of the guest appearances.

Anyway Whats better UFC Wrestling or boxing

I'm not a fan of either. Probably boxing. But it's funny, one of my friends from high school, whenever I go hang out at his place, it's always to watch one or the either.

Your thoughts on Kanye

New album = best-produced album since The Cold Vein. A lot of people are going to give Jon Brion more than his fair share of credit, but Just Blaze deserves more than Jon, probably.

Whats the diffrence between a Mc and a Rapper

Michael Buffer is an MCs. Rakim is a rapper.

Will you be purchasing the new little brother.

Most likely.

Why has this year sucked for rap?

It hasn't.
Beanie Sigel
Common
Dangerdoom
Edan
Kanye
Slim Thug
Count Bass D
Sean Price
Cage
Living Legends
Aesop Rock
Big Pooh

^^ all dropped/leaked good to great records, that's just nationally available studio albums I can think of off the top of my head. And there's still another quarter to go.

Would setting a target deadline for withdrawl from Iraq discourage or encourage the insurgents?

 

[roaches]

I think it'd encourage them. We shouldn't have gone into Iraq, but imo we need to be fully committed to rebuilding there, like we were in Western Europe and Japan after the Second World War.

Alright.. this guy has been married and divorced twice. He had a daughter with the first wife and had been paying child support for years. When the girl was 15, his ex-wife told him the kid wasn't his and paternaty tests showed that it wasn't. Does he still have an obligation to pay child support even though he's not the real father? And if so, does the real father have any obligations?

 

[Mase]

Count Bass D

Shit, I didn't know.
REMINDER FOR WHEN I GET HOME TO CHECK THIS.

And if so, does the real father have any obligations?

The courts have ruled in the past that he should continue paying child support, because he DID form an emotional relationship with the child and continuing child support is in the best interests of the child, which is what a judge looks at.

Funny, the Kanye West single came on the radio when I was replying. "18 years... 18 years..."

[roaches]

Why is 2Pac's All Eyez On Me one of the worst albums you've ever bought?

Disc 2, etc.

What is the best album you've ever bought?

Still Illmatic.

How many items (CD's, vinyls, tapes) does your collection consist of?

Too many. I tried liquidating, but I'm too sentimental to let them go, no matter how broke I am.

Why do you think Canibus is wack?

He's not wack, it's his music that's wack.

Who won? Jigga or Esco?

Just take a look at their careers over the past few years, and tell me who's doing better for themselves.

Opinions on the Bay Area?

One of my best friends lives out there. I might be out there next summer, working for Clorox. Seems like a nice place to live.

Opinions on LL Cool J?

Yeah, he fell off.

Opinions on Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl?

Don't like it. That shit is o-v-e-r-r-i-p-e b-a-n-a-n-a-s.

Best Ice Cube album?

Death Certificate

What's your favourite movie?

Hmm. Rushmore or Casino? I was never a big movie watcher (the last four films I saw in theater: Sin City and the Lord of the Rings flicks). I've seen more movies in the past three months than I've seen in my entire life before that, so my tastes are out of whack at the moment.

What's your favourite music documentary?

I think Fade to Black is the only one I've seen that I've liked.

What's your favourite MJ song?

"ABC" or "I Want You Back". Those count, right?

Best non-rap album?

Um, my favorite would be Kid A.

Will cornrows ever go out of style?

I dunno.

How tall are you?

5'9.

What kind of mobile phone do you have?

Sony S710a

What kind of iPod do you have and is it completely filled?

I have a Mini which I hate, and of course it's completely filled.

Why are you one of the best posters on this board?

Hah!

When I feel like telling one. "Hey roaches, do you have any stories about _____?"
