Can we just cut to posting our getting-in-the-last-word/dick sizes now? Or better yet just dick pics... which would accelerate the locking of this thread.

(and would make C*l*m a happy boy.... mmmm he likes them big)

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:08 (twenty years ago) link

this was your attempt at a joke...right?

Ummm...no. That was me NOT being "pretentious," or claiming that I have any sort of knowledge to drop on anyone, simply because I DON'T know what yr experiences are.
i emphasize that Blues People is a great book though. I'm sorry that isn't convincing enough.

How so? I fail to see much to do with deconstructionism in the cited comment.

"If deconstruction means anything, it means that statements such as "deconstructionism means x" are meaningless."

I guess the main question here is: Should a genre be defined by what it is, or by what it isn't?

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:08 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, you meant subjectivism.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:09 (twenty years ago) link

Whatever works.

― ddrake, Monday, 17 November 2003 22:10 (twenty years ago) link

is you is, or is you ain't my hip-hop?

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:12 (twenty years ago) link

so if Jigga put Whitman lines in verses and sampled Schoenberg, that wouldn't be hip hop?

― oops (Oops), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:12 (twenty years ago) link

But then yr sampling :-p

― ddrake, Monday, 17 November 2003 22:13 (twenty years ago) link

disregard my last post. who cares? hip hop seems to be one of the last genres where people fight over what is and isn't part of it.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:13 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, but yr not a punk cause I have more piercings than you.

― ddrake, Monday, 17 November 2003 22:15 (twenty years ago) link

Ignore my post with the "sampling" line, I misunderstood what you were saying.

The correct response to that would be "I'd have to hear it first."

― ddrake, Monday, 17 November 2003 22:18 (twenty years ago) link

Goood night ladies and gentlemen.

― ddrake, Monday, 17 November 2003 22:20 (twenty years ago) link

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:22 (twenty years ago) link

sure, but where were you like 300 posts ago?

― hstencil, Monday, 17 November 2003 22:23 (twenty years ago) link

it feels weird being at the bottom of this thread. like being in a deep dark hole where no light will ever shine.i think i'll go eat some ice cream.

― scott seward, Monday, 17 November 2003 22:23 (twenty years ago) link

Go for it.

― ddrake, Monday, 17 November 2003 22:23 (twenty years ago) link

oh right, jess was insisting that the original question-asker was looking for "rock." Sorry to answer my own question there.

― hstencil, Monday, 17 November 2003 22:23 (twenty years ago) link

You mean besides "punk"?

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:23 (twenty years ago) link

That referred to locking the thread, but by all means, have some ice cream.

― ddrake, Monday, 17 November 2003 22:24 (twenty years ago) link

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:25 (twenty years ago) link

YOU were the bastard that started this fiddo.

― gaz (gaz), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:38 (twenty years ago) link

why do people always threaten to lock threads that become contentious or are dominated by sentiments with which they don't agree? Fuckin' hippies.

Substitute Blues People with, say, "The Bible" and you see why we're a bit bugged here. Fundamentalism's pretty boring in any guise.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:49 (twenty years ago) link

this thread just makes me feel all...

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 17 November 2003 22:54 (twenty years ago) link

i dunno, just kinda...

Or in some cases, extremely funny.

blount, i'm still making your cards. i have not forgotten.

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 17 November 2003 23:16 (twenty years ago) link

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 17 November 2003 23:17 (twenty years ago) link

hey cam'ron shrunk and now you can't make out the 'rapper' title above his name.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 17 November 2003 23:17 (twenty years ago) link

the original poster was looking for "opera". with breakbeats.

Momus has his filter set so threads about hip-hop aren't visible

Fundamentalism's pretty boring in any guise.

I'd be interested to see how you think Blues People is "fundamentalism."

Antipop ruined a really good Matthew Shipp record.

James:

1. Play Squarepusher in one CD player
2. Play Ned Raggett Reads the Almanac in another

This should be something akin to what you seek

(pssst, ddrake, I don't think Ned was talking about the book)

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 00:22 (twenty years ago) link

(but you wouldn't understand anyway since you haven't read either A. Keimig's Fundamentalism and Music Criticism: The Chasm No One Dare Cross nor Kenneth Le's Sound & Analysis In A Subjective World and many other books like it)
