Liked for that last sentence. Also, one of Common's best songs IMHO is 1 2 Many, which makes fun of people precisely for calling him out for not being hard enough.

Actually TBH I haven't heard that many of the album albums, more just the compilations.

Fuck, you realize that in 5 years it will have been a quarter century?

WHAT THE FUCK YOU SAYING LET IT BLEED ISN'T QUITE AS GOOD AS EXILE? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT NONSENSE, FOOL!

Fair point. I feed trolls like a motherfucker, and yeah, that's usually my rationale. But in this case it's more just a depressed "what the hell?" than anything else, I mean, what the hell?

I both agree and disagree - I mean, I'm all for 3rd parties and so forth, but there is obviously a genuine difference between Dems and Republicans. I mean, Al Gore doesn't have the election stolen, and Iraq doesn't get invaded, I think it's really as simple as that. And the past decade suddenly looks a WHOLE lot…

Eh, plenty of Japanese use it positively as a self-description, like "nerd" here. Although it's probably much more negative in general. But there's obviously a LOT of anime obsessives there.

Eh, I'm really not a big fan of coconuts. Although fresh off the tree and with rum added to the milk… mmmmm good.

Can you stop? Seriously?

Yeah, both of those would be awesome. Rawkus would be more of a examination of how carpetbaggers with good intentions can ruin something beautiful, rather than anything wrong with the albums per se.

I don't think you were listening. Shut up!

Those three albums also show why technical skill isn't always the most important thing. I mean, Q-Tip is far superior to Phife in a technical sense, and even he's not exactly in the top leagues of rappers, but you put them together and it's just peanut butter and chocolate, y'know?

Well, in some sense it's never worth wasting your time on, because why should anyone have to think about that kind of crap? But in another sense, I mean, there are people who think this sort of stuff is funny and/or insightful. So it's worth wasting your time to try and change that? And by "your" I mean the generic…

Yeah, can't we talk about the white people for once?

Yeah, I'm not sure why you're getting down voted either, maybe spillover from El Asso Wipo…

I just… seriously… fuck I don't want to be the guy who's always flagging people and complaining, but fuck, why does this shit always appear? Like, I just can't imagine how fucking irritating it is for all the black commenters here to have to look at that kind of shit in the first or second fucking post on EVERY single…

This article is pretty much accurate, so, if that makes it sound like the sort of thing you want to buy, then go nuts.

Actually they were playing to 90% white audiences for their entire career. And to anyone who knew anything about hip-hop, they were always treated with a hell of a lot of respect.

Himmelsturmer's not that bad - getting the rhythm of the power ups is quite fun. But yeah, there should be more.

Oh trust me, Asians get called out for acting white in North America all the time. "Banana" has the same connotation as "Oreo" for a black person, etc. But it's far less of an issue because the default American-Asian stereotype is mostly just a nerdy white person stereotype.
