Hip Hop taken to new levels.

If he doesn't want to read it, I'm not trying to fucking make him!

Using a previously written book as the basis of an argument makes me into a "snob"?! What the fuck is wrong with you?

AS A FUCKING RECOMMENDATION.

*scratches head, looks upthread*

Seriously Ned, read Blues People.
To quote big lebowski.

"You're out of yr element donnie."

Bam.

Maybe there's a Dr. D. and Mr. Drake situation here.

Yes, we will lock threads for you because you can't control yourself posting on them.

Because the person you're arguing with has the unfair advantage of not having the knowledge contained within the book, and therefore not only makes the continuation of said argument silly and invalid but gives you gloating points for being more "literate". Don't pretend otherwise, fucker x 401. (Sorry, had to one up Ned there)

not that you're "not arguing correctly" - Baraka himself would point out that the ways in which one frames one's arguments speak as loudly as and possibly louder than the arguments themselves

but y'all don't hear me though -B.I.G.

Hey, you're right! And what a clear and sweet recommendation it was! Like saying the word 'fucker,' it is done out of love.

this is NOT a semantic issue and to pretend it is is ungallant

What the fuck!? That's why I RECOMMENDED HE READ IT, because he DIDN'T have the knowledge contained within. HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT MAKE ME A SNOB!?

Actually Ned, "Read it motherfuckers" was the first recommendation

That was definitely before any animosity had developed in the thread, and "motherfuckers" was not used in the same way I've been using profanity for the last couple posts.
Nice try taking it out of context though.

Jesus H., the Mormons make their case better. Scratch that, the LaRouchians.

It did NOT, however, make me want to fuck his mother.

Then clearly he has failed in his grand mission.

As I said.

HO HHO HO HO OH O

"There's this really good book I've read called Blues People by Leroi Jones. It makes some great points on this argument that I think can apply today and to this argument -- if you haven't read it, give it a try. I really like it because [reasons x, y, z]."

Had you just said that or something like it, I don't think much of this thread would exist in the first place. Why does being 'provocative' make your point stronger?

the first thing i thought of when i saw the original question(s) was the 9 minute version of 'a day like no other' by Company Flow featuring assorted japanese MCs, its got lots of different sections, i've always thought of it as a sort of prog track. erm, thats all.

Because you dropped your cards and claimed yourself winner of the argument the easy way... It's pointless to continue.. here, go to Amazon and check out Pedro V. Pajitnov's Debate and Demeanor. So you can school yourself, because it looks like you need it.

It shouldn't have. "Mothefuckers" was not intended to suggest animosity, and was rather a general, "what's up, fuckers." Not intended to be insulting, particularly. I'm sorry if you read it that way.

excuse me. I shall work on this in the future
Allow me to recommend the book once again.

Because you dropped your cards and claimed yourself winner of the argument the easy way...

As opposed to what you've been doing this entire thread?

This is easier than a frisky kitten and a laser pen!

You evil genius, sir.

Yeah, that's how we all start our threads around here.

"Hold Me Now," easy. Lurvly ballad.

I still think any further 'engagement' with him from any ilxors is tantamount to running up the score.

You're probably right there.

And so it is demonstrated yet again that if you leave a thread-gone-wrong to its own devices, it will eventually justify itself in a great flash of glory and splendor.

(I have been dying of laughter from these past ten minutes or so and DB just took the cake.)

i missed this bit

we do need a 'justify my ethug' 7" stat

OMNIPOTENT BABY AHOY.
