deej-

what was the worst crossfade we heard tonite?

-gr8080

hahhaa

dude i cant even remember. there were some rough ones. i need to add yr dj friend on myspace tho, he was good

to the rev - i'm not gonna talk shit about the dude who keeps me from being easily googleable

deej, when ilx was down a few weeks back (for some gawd awful reason i don't remember) i ended up at the soulstrut forums and you were in some argument over the pretty toney album and said some stuff about Tush (i'm with you on it btw, great song). you mentioned the patrick adams musique album. you're just mentioning that he says 'push push push', right? not that it's the sample source? because i need to know what the fuck they sampled in that song. the one time i met ghostface, i seriously should have asked him that. it's killing me.

hah i figured out the sample source very recently ... i forget how i found out but i do know it! Its from some mid 70s r&b album that is fairly obscure (could have guessed right?) Let me see if i can figure it out again

figure it out = use google

apparently its the best of both world's "naked truth"

off this album:

http://ring.cdandlp.com/fih/photo_grande/113125482.jpg

Rare funk lp. Kind of mix between Exit 9 & Ripple. Incl. Broad jumping, Greedy green, Momma bakes buscuits, lost in a shuffle of love, naked truth. Cover in shrink.

from 1975

thank you sir.

deej, i'm trying to remember the name of this lp i wanted to find, it's a 70s J.B.s-ish funk group led by trombone player, do you have any idea what i'm thinking of?

i think i saw it at dusty groove once?

a few days ago somebody called me a "post-dance hipster"

do you consider yourself "post-rap"

Godspeed You! Trice Emperor

jordan - no idea.

moonship - good q, i'm not quite sure what you mean by 'post dance hipster' but if you mean it like ... the method of exploring music? imaginary revivalist community of internet-linked connoisseurs or something, then nah i would say that message boards and internet nerdery are basically the 5th element of modern rap at this point, nothing pomo about it. ive also compartmentalized my rap listening and my disco listening w/ the sole exception of the dj quik overlap so it doesnt really feel like there is much removal, i'm basically following the same channels i did when i was 16 via napster. any shifts are a function of age.

maybe i dont understand the question

GOD SPEED aka you! triceemperor

v.s. naipaul? really?

are u not a fan?? i am sympathetic to some of the criticism but he has a way w language

'a house for mr. biswas' = A+

oof just read wiki entry on him. had no idea about the middle passage or an area of darkness

there is no room for nuance in a facebook profile

yeah dude is a+ stylist but also a+ racist

is it baiting darnielle to remove the racist but leave hemingway

jk sorry for the ethan joek bite

deej, here's that tush sample. it took me this long of soulseeking to get it

http://www.robotsinheat.com/trax/NakedTruth.mp3

^^^fire

'a house for mr. biswas' = A+

sorry I'm late for the bait but yeah biswas is fucking awesome

I love naipaul even though he's politically gone to shit I guess, although area of darkness didn't seem like some racist manifesto when I read in college. Guerillas is good if disturbing & the essay about the source incident is good too. I'll take practically anything from a stylist as good as Vidya tho.

nice, thanks!

xps but thanks too john

AYO

naipaul's not a racist, jeez

how u feel about this

http://youtube.com/watch?v=GmfAmpNoT5U

good but birdman's verse is useless and keke's done better, beat is straight though

what's the remix with the dude singing in place of birdman's verse? that's what gets radio play round her

here

dunno havent heard. i know this isnt ask big hoos, but hoos, have you heard 'whos the man' by zro and trae? fav rap single so far this year

does it get radio play down there?

zro + trae sounds awesome i will look it up

nice

so deej, do you consider yourself the Godfather of Rap?

can we change this to 'tell deej' where ppl tell me what ive been missing out in esp in the worlds of dance, R&B, bobbins, pop, non-rap, whatever happened to the ppl who used to listen to beardo, etc.

working FT means i feel out of the loop on old pet genres

i mean pref if you have a vague idea of what my taste is already

apologies in advance if this is self indulgent

aw

thought that meant "working Freaky Trigger means i feel out of the loop"

did you hear that Jose James record? i feel like you'd like it. it would be less remarkable if it didn't have Chris Dave (and Nate Smith) on drums, but it does. first half esp. is really nice.

this remix of it that came out today is nice, mostly for the middle section: https://soundcloud.com/faltydl/jose-james-sward-gun-faltydl

dope will check it out

(that's lorde's tumblr)

deej: what undie or backpacker-ish stuff (current) would you stan for?

(srs question!)

Need to give props to deej for being among the first to definitively call out RT as a sock

which is important because there's really no proof or convincing argument that RT is a sock but people love saying it?

Oh snap I think I misinterpreted the Admin Log

Props... retracted

Move to strike props from the record
