classic Wu-Tang solo run poll

"it's a fucking wu-tang thread. or do you show up at a mexican joint and ask where the thai food is, too?"

I think it's pretty obvious that he does.

I thought deej did that when he quoted this classic ODB boast:

my argument here is relentlessly consistent

Someone please PLEASE rap this (are there any rappers on ILM? Dominique can't do everything).

I just keep seeing deej running into Taco Bell and screaming "WHERE THE PAD THAI AT, NIGGA? POW POW WAKA WAKA GUCCI MANE"

omg

deej has to run inside because he's been banned from the drive thru

"sir I want to serve you the finest in cheap mexican food but i'm not interested in debating 'coke-rap' with you over the loudspeaker"

I got banned from my local taco bell drive-thru for saying "microphone check" every time I pulled up :(

haters imo

what is this, do people actually test out new raps at drive thru loudspeakers?

i am eating some good-ass pad thai right now. in all serious i suggest pad thai today for those who have yet to eat lunch.

ilx has a very complicated relationship with on-topic/off-topic

off-topic is fine when it's funny or offering lunch tips.

still LOLing at this....

seriously though have you guys seen a menu at cheesecake factory? shit's like the manual to Protools

where we only spread love and talk about jungle bros.

dude those jungle bros threads are usually just you and me lol

upper: yea, and it has advertisements in it. I think i've had approximately 8% of the stuff on the menu. also some of the items have enough calories to be like an entire day's worth of eating.

now i want an xxl chalupa

man 8% is probably what like 20 dishes?

yea. I took my ex there A LOT last year, plus there's one right close to me.

you guys really shouldn't eat at cheesecake factory. for your health, if no other reason.

now off to have my 11th cigarette of the last five hours.

lol.

no joke tho after I read about the calorie counts at that place it was like o_O

the thread that keeps on giving

i am eating some good-ass pad thai right now. in all serious i suggest pad thai today for those who have yet to eat lunch.

ok fuck yes I am now going to make for lunch my world-famous Pad Thai Del Unemployment Line

peanut butter soy sauce and linguine noodles & don't fucking knock it til you try it

aerosmith livin on the edge

also still dope btw

When I go to the Cheesecake factory, I order the Pad Thai off the "exotic sensations" page.

I chugged a broccoli cheese soup purchased at Einstein Bros :(

what the blood clot indeed

hey guys: fuck you

take it to the cee-lo thread

hey deej in seriousness would like to hear what you think about biz and kool g rap as i mentioned up thread

cuz to me Biz is exactly what yr talking about but sometimes ppl don't see personas etc unless they are really serious ones like scarface

i thought that was a really good pt & im glad someone is actually paying attention to what im saying. biz strikes me as a dude whose personality translated very fully thru his raps early on

i mean thats the thing, theres a detachment to gza that ghost doesnt have

hey guys: fuck you

so mad

biz strikes me as a dude whose personality translated very fully thru his raps early on

even tho Big Daddy Kane wrote a bunch of them lol

I don't buy the thing about personas at all really

so mad

maybe he was a good writer?

i do understand yr point, but i would like to throw in that i feel like you kinda of underrate the old school punchlining stuff...

to me that era will always just sound fresh, it's the only time in my life where i got to hear something *really* happening, like a new genre coming into maturity....that stuff seems like chuck berry records or james brown records or the stooges or whatever, like very dated to its time but also timeless...

like i heard a buddy holly song on a commercial and i was like damn that is dope...just feels perfect....that era of rap is like that to me...

maybe the punchlines are dated and i understand that it def hold you at a certain distance to the artist, like who IS big daddy kane, you don't have a feel for him outside of a loverman/microphone technician (as opposed to Schooly D or Slick Rick or Biz who are more fully formed characters)....but that makes it no less great to me.

but honestly i'll be stuck on that stuff to a certain point my whole life...the same way that 60s dudes are stuck on dylan and the beatles and hendrix and etc, because honestly we can all talk about oh man school of seven bells rules or the new waka flocka record is dope but it's SOOOOO rare to hear something really being born, then grow up in front of you....nirvana/alternative/indie (which i guess would be the other thing considered a "revolution" in the canon that I lived through) isn't the same...like it was only because it got popular, everyone in the know (like dudes older/cooler than me) just saw it as a surfacing of 80s underground U.S. rock in pop culture.

but to turn on the TV and see "Microphone Fiend" for the first time? To hear Rakim's voice for the first time...man I will never forget that.

(xposts)

Fuckin' frame Matt's post somewhere and be done with it, because that says it all.

yeah this is totally how I feel about it too. maybe it's just personal "you had to be there" shit

just to derail further: wasn't dance music / techno really happening, in a much more decisive ground-breaking way, than underground rock?

i lived on a farm in southern mn, so like had zero idea until the chemical bros. and moby and prodigy and shit like that, but yeah i guess in uk and other places it was

dance music's big revolution seems like it happened in the late 70s/early 80s to me. by the time rave kicked in in the 90s it was just ooh louder/faster/bigger/more annoying

xp

but yeah the 90s stuff was a MUCH bigger deal in the UK/europe than it was here

dance music's big revolution seems like it happened in the late 70s/early 80s to me.

btw what I'm referring to here is stuff like disco edits, the wholesale adoption of synths/drum machines/computers, the DJ as artist, etc.

everything that came after was just an extension of those concepts/approaches

nuh uh

do tell
