What do Arthur Russell stans? Write books about Arthur Russell?
― Alex in SF, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:07 (fifteen years ago) link
stans do, ahem
this is definitely the wrong place to ask, but what is the etymology of 'stan'? i know what it means, but is it short for something?

btw i started this thread with great conflict in my heart because as patrin is right to note "dil cosby / dil withers suite" is not only the best beatkonducta work yet, it's also an amazing listen^^^^^ this

also i have no conflict in my heart in saying dilla was stone cold classic, and that the cult of dilla has no effect in either direction upon my feelings about this

you're succeeding at being yourself quite well, by which i mean being retarded. there you go, a good pipecockism for you. if you wanna bite my style, LEARN TO DO IT RIGHT FOOOOOOL.

the cult of ilm, c/d?
― ilxor, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:29 (fifteen years ago) link
i think that just about all "tributes" and whatnot to dilla have been pretty weak. those beatconductas are okay, but really they're not essential. i laugh when we get in new tracks at the shop that are all DILLA in title, but sonically they're bullshit.
i don't see what any of this has to do with people giving the man his propers. it's good that people are finally recognizing how great he was. in fact, it was only since he died that i revisited the tribe, pharcyde, and de la albums he was involved with and could appreciate them. that doesn't make EVERYTHING he did good ("electric circus" is a disaster, that one stands out), but it's pretty amazing how good most of what is out there with his name on it is. to the poster hating on Common, that just doesn't make any sense. Common may be something of a joke now, but in the 90's and into the early 00's the guy was the shit. and Dilla's beats on Like Water For Chocolate (which i bought the instrumentals on wax for back in late 00) are completely off the charts.

Common, has been and always will be, terrible. Saw him on his "Hotel Common" tour, laughably bad. Everything I've heard of his I have actively disliked.

I was under the impression that the one and only answer -- the one artist on which all of us agree -- was Ray Parker Jr. If I'm mistaken, I will never post on this board again.

'doin it' is A+++
i find the nerdery around dilla beats kind of interesting, actually
but then i like finding out why stuff works the way it does
hes not my favorite producer ever, he made some great songs & did it w/ a specific focus on craft that can be interesting. I liked hearing questlove's story about how he did the 'doin it' beat in like 15 mins when they were playing a game trying to see if folks could make a beat out of a random record pulled from the stacks. good story
the cult is 'annoying' but more annoying is being broke, having ants in my kitchen & not getting a call back from a chick i like
sometimes ppl around here are way too subculturally butthurtwahhh nerds are corny
