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

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

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.

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.

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??
― autogucci cru (deej), Wednesday, 17 June 2009 22:32 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

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??
― autogucci cru (deej), Wednesday, 17 June 2009 22:36 (fourteen years ago) link
He's probably only heard one Common song.

& 'the light' isnt close to his best dilla track either https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU6MwPtBZvg

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.
― someone who genuinely likes to make children cry (The Reverend), Wednesday, 17 June 2009 22:38 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

yes, it's def close.Rev clearly you were not alive during the 60s and therefore unable to judge when there's an actual FREAKOUT going down.
