the cult of dilla, c/d?

[Name Suppressed] makes that story sound so much more sordid.

if it's not vicious then why has the person made up an id to do it? surely they can just come clean then?

tho obviously it's impossible to guess who would do this

if i'd written it i would come clean. i thought it was rather affectionate to be honest, and would assume the 'real name' was used because it's plastered all over local garda's blog (and years & years of previous postings on this board)

the manufactured id was in the spirit of the story. if it's vicious where's the nastiness? it's cute!

how about how many recent postings? why am I even drawn into this on a thread where vahid is the one baiting? when was the last time I had an actual argument on ILM? why do you think that is?

and if you think the parts where whoever goes out of their way to attack my writing while they're doing this "joke" are affectionate then I think you should read again.

as I said, if it wasn't vicious they'd have used their own id, obviously ashamed of something.

if it was in the spirit of the story (what complete crap) they can come clean now then

god, you really are po-faced, aren't you?

resolved, i'd say its generally up to the target to decide if a jibe was nasty or jokey, and not some sniggering onlooker, which is what you seem to be.

when somebody puts your name on a thread for no reason resolved and attacks your work anonymously then let's see how you find it?

I could understand if I was even engaged on the thread in any significant way but I wasn't. Nor have I been on any thread or on my own site for several months.

I'm not putting myself out there for this, I'm not getting the money or the benefits of that so people should just fuck off.

unless i've missed an extra post or it's been brutally edited by one of your friends on the moderation team, the vast majority of it is ripping the piss out of pipecock. perhaps i've not read enough of your ouvre to appreciate the sly stylistic digs. honestly, if anyone went to that much effort to parody my point of view in such a ridiculous way, i hope i would be amused. the ghost of larry levan? what malice

it's not sly at all, it's pretty direct.

ask the mods to delete it or change it or stfu

"The Bug changed my life".

"Dubstep changed my life".

"Burial changed my life".

"Brian Eno (non-producer) changed my life".

"GG Allin changed my life".

Yeah [Name Suppressed] you are ruining a totally worthless thread with your whining.

lol this thread has been terrible in about 3 different ways, good job everyone

you know you enjoyed it, quit frontin

thats why i said good job not bad job *rolls eyes*

"ask the mods to delete it or change it or stfu"

who asked you? I didn't ask for it to be deleted because there's no grounds for it to be deleted.

i have a newfound respect for the cult of dilla for the way they put charles hamilton in his place, really hilarious shit.

simey owes me money

lol the comments on the simey article are like we made a parody of what this thread is about. There's even people bashing SR for liking Ludacris.

im trying to think of another hip hop artist with fans as annoying as dilla ones. only tupac fans come close i think.

yeah they're nearly as annoying as the tone of that article

most commenters seem pretty happy with the article? maybe i'm not reading down far enuf...

ps i didn't know mr. woebot was making records now?

The only ones that are hanging in there, even prospering, belong to a particular type: boutiques that offer a tidied-up version of the crate-digging experience, without the dust and the graft, the knees-bent flicking through musty cardboard boxes in roach-infested basements.

jesus fucking christ, give it up you daft twat. simon reynolds writers exclusively for the bourgeoisie he affects to despise. give it up, man, you'll give yourself an ulcer from all the bad faith.

As I headed down the aisle to the back of the store where the DJ lurked, the thought popped into my head: "P'raps this is Dilla?"

ya what's up with that? is there a thread on this stuff or

fuck it, let's talk about it here. always had much respect for that guy.

the cult of woebot, c/d?

I really can't stand Simon now. Even reading Energy Flash now makes my teeth hurt. He's like the Bill Plaschke of music writing or something.

who is bill plaschke

what is google

it's kinda like bing.com

not sure why woebot is quoted there - i know theyre mates but im sure someone a bit more related to the subject of the article could have been bothered for a quote.

If you could break his style down into three main components, they'd be his way with a vocal sample, his way with a beat, and his way with synths

seriously dude??

If you compare the original song (and do check out Caldwell's hat while you're about it) with The Light you can clearly see Dilla's artistry: he's taken an already lovely, if slightly schmaltzy, song and created another song out of it.

how ... post-modern! its almost as if he is "sampling" these records and "recontextualizing" them. interesting...

He's writing for a Grauniad audience.

what's this about

"He's writing for a Grauniad audience."

This would be a more plausible defense if his blog wasn't filled with equally facile observations.

i agree but i kind of think this:

Why do you look for 60s & 70s rock? Crippling reverence towards the past?

says a lot about his weird anti-90s rap weirdness. he only likes one common song?? seriously??

He's probably only heard one Common song.

& 'the light' isnt close to his best dilla track either

xxxxp Hamilton listed J Dilla as an exec producer on his album "so the proceeds can go to the J Dilla Foundation", which apparently no longer exists. People called him out as just trying to eat off of Dilla's name and had a big bitchfit about it. Seems kinda loss-loss imo.

i do appreciate that hes acknowledged that maybe dilla is occasionally good

Britisher who isn't too invested in rap has big gaps in rap knowledge and weird opinions about rap, news at 11. I don't know why I'm defending dude, but the level of freaking out in this thread seems kind of above and beyond.
