action bronson

that's an interesting perspective

its like expecting enlightened views from professional wrestlers

if you actually think abt what political views even the 'smartest' rappers have you'd probably not really agree with them

yeah i dunno the older i get the less i listen to rap and that's definitely one of the reasons :/

^^

also true w/me & pornogrind but I wasn't a big pornogrind collector to begin with

i'm imagining one of the those wood-tone vinyl plates with incised white lettering. it says "pornogrind collector" and is displayed in a little brass desk stand.

there's a genre called pornogrind?

ah yes Hyper-Intestinal Vulva Desecration

this isnt really an art form to look for decent human beings ni

just to be clear, your response here is along the lines of "eh, rappers are neither decent human beings nor particularly smart"?

or am i misinterpreting those scare quotes?

99% of rappers are not decent human beings.

the ones respected as 'smart' by 'smart people' like ilxors are usually a part of this group even if their politics code as vaguely progressive

99% of rappers are not decent human beings.

that seems like a pretty intense figure I gotta say

Shock G seems like a decent guy

that's all I got

99% of rappers are not decent human beings.

experiencing a high level of cognitive dissonance here

bro are you really fucking with 5%er theology like that

u lack overstanding :(

no i meant who are these "ilxors" of which you speak?

like you really think i'm all like "oh yah krs one raises some good points about ron paul"?

please continue apologizing for this guy via random made up statistics

who's apologizing?

im saying hes an asshole

just that the road to civilization's ruin is paved w/ looking at rappers as role models

u lack overstanding :(

theres an overarching vibe that's like, dang, i thought action bronson was a stand-up dude! & i guess after years of following rap i don't understand the idea of looking to hip hop for guys that you want to hang out with. having hung out with rappers, i feel even less eager about that sort of thing than ever.

not saying there aren't decent ones. but a wholllle lot of them are tremendous assholes ime

also, the correspondence between 'decent ones' and 'make good music' is basically nil

i think part of why i still really like rap is its such an incredibly cynical form of music

its about time deej replaced his broad brush, its getting a littel worn out

he might "bristle" at the suggestion

if u guys really want a friendly chef to hang w/ i recommend

[insert standard hand-wringing about the extent to which fan demand for cynicism/nihilism/assholism drives the genre, what that says about rap fans]

do like the swedish chef though

oh i dont think the music itself is cynical or nihilistic. but the people involved in creating it often are, very much so

also sometimes they are actual murderers!

to an exaggerated degree perhaps, but many hang out with or are social with killers.

are you ok?

no just v cynical about the hip hop world lately

rlly tho the music is the only worthwhile part of it

lol omar

ive never seen the thing idgi

it's better than a lot of rap albums

the joke is that Russell and co. are ready to blast that guy because they're not sure if he's actually himself or if he's something else

wtf happened to deej itt

Now just because I appreciate and respect the culture, doesn’t mean I falsely (and lamely) try to emulate it. It has its place. That place just is not in my house or on my body.

No, I think it's the dude from Interpol on the El-P album, tho maybe Lupe rapped over "Are We Human or Are We Dancer"

thank you, based custos

It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last dingdong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still zinging Custos.

dagmn

haha this is true of life in general, more or less
