I would go but my sister entered me in a wig eating contest.

It's actually mooch-Elle ya know because dems are "moochers". I don't know why I just corrected that. I apologize.

What do they owe me for inspiring the red hot chili peppers?

You should really take the "in" out if your name because your really projecting alot of your insecurities about hip hop onto what I'm sayjng

How did you possibly get that out of what I said? Im saying we don't need to pretend that kweli has the same amount of talent as ornette Coleman for rap to be a valid artform. It's valid all on its own. Why can't I be harshly critical of something I love? Reflection eternal was one of my favorite albums as a kid…

For every lyricist who might be seen as a legit poet there are a thousand who are laughable grade school poets.

Your missing the point completely. I love rap music and I know there are artists out here doing great things I am aware of that. But we need to put things in the proper context. If you think it takes the same level of talent to be Bird as it does to be Common then your out of your mind. My point is that we don't…

Is it laughable ? The rose that grew from concrete isn't exactly Robert frost. It's like a really good High school poem. But why is that bad? Rap is the people's music and is therefore spoken in the people's language. But we don't need to pretend that talib kweli is Charlie Parker to validate him.

I would say the same thing about rock with no hesitation. For every John Lennon there are a thousand Jim morrisons. And on the flip side for every nas there are a thousand drakes.

Take off the rose colored glasses and little kid gloves. Oh please. Poetic eloquence? Most rappers hit about the level of high school poetry at their finest moments. Very few rap artists reach the level of illmatic most are at best grade school poets.

I don't buy into the "stop listening to top 20" argument. I listened to all the underground stuff at a certain time and gettin older I realized that its no better than the mainstream the only difference is the context around it. Was Jedi mind tricks better than mobb deep? Was Rawkus better than loud? Was def jux…

What r u implying? What other form of current pop music has 90% of its artists more or less only talking about how great they are ?

Rappers are literally egomaniacs for a living and they are constantly praised and rewarded for talking and behaving in a way that if any other person behaved we'd all think they were major butt tasters. Is it any surprise when they behave in real life the way they talk on wax?

Speaking of DMX I legitimately used to know of a girl with a Drag-On tattoo. I didn't know her well so I very rightly referred to her as "the girl with the Drag-On tattoo"

Angel hazes content is generic boring garbage she's never had an interesting thing to say ever.

I guess you missed the part where I said I don't like this song or macklemore at all. So your whole comment was irrelevant. Also I was listening to co flow when i was a little child I don't need a lesson on el p.

Honestly no offense but you don't know about rap I could tell. I'm gay and Puerto Rican and I grew up completely immersed in hip hop culture from an early age. I don't like this song or macklemore at all. However All the people you named as being "far better mcs" than macklemore all range from about as competent or…

Appreciate the sentiment but its too after school specialish for me.

Tommy wiseau looks like when that giant bug inhabited Vincent D'onofrios skin in MIB but like the skin didnt really fit properly. He looks like an inhuman creature in an ill fitting human costume. I'd describe his look as "lumpy"

I think the avclub and jason heller in particular highly over estimates the importance of jawbreaker. It's like their your favorite band so you continue to push them but no one else really gives a shit on a significant level because jawbreaker is kinda mediocre/forgettable. there's other bands of the nineties that…
