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
― deej, Saturday, 15 December 2007 18:21 (sixteen years ago) link
figure it out = use google
apparently its the best of both world's "naked truth"

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"

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

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.

i only scan it when i'm very, very bored. i tried to describe it to another ilxor as imagine 400 ethans all trying to outzing each other with a rich chum of bedroom producers as targets. and then everyone tries to get over one another in the sales section.
yet they have a healthy disrespect for thebreaks.com, which i appreciate.

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?
