man, max b is in the slammer and this is his ilx thread, what a raw deal

yeah it was a decent track!

man, max b is in the slammer and this is his ilx thread, what a raw deal

lol

rip max b thread virginity

deej bringing up jacka & gucci is funny like "that's our deej" as j0rdan said, not clowning him for being nearsighted or a problem w/ his criticism, or at least thats totally different from the og lol intent

i would like to say "flopson otm" again but apparently that's not allowed, just know that i am with you in spirit

its 'not allowed' only in that it contradicts what u wrote previously, but whatev

no, no it doesn't, not at all, especially since he's talking about "the og lol intent" i.e. MY first post which obviously i kind of have some idea of the meaning of

i mean the whole time i've been saying "i am having a laugh for reasons that are obvious and have been discussed here before" and you're the one going "no this has very grim and portentous subtext about how you feel about me as a person as a critic" and then my eyes roll into the back of my head and i leave the thread

aerosmith - have you seen that old tom snyder show clip with paul weller, joan jett, kim fowley, and hilburn talking about "punk"...it's pretty priceless television

xp what an odd caricature of what happened here

no, you said something that i disagreed about that wasnt 'just a laugh' & you retreated backwards to 'oh but its just joeks' when i disagreed with it

some dude maybe u dont realize this but when you post these things you tend to load them as, 'you are wrong to have said this' rather than, 'lol thats our deej' -- something to think about maybe

no it doesn't, pretty much the only connection between those 3 artists is "these are people that the author of this review loves and has to bring up at every opportunity"

is this the supposed post in which i am lowering the veil of serious attacks on your critical style and not just explaining the lol

it was the point of disagreement for me that this entire stupid argument has been about -- you can dramatize it all you want but that specific sentence is what i disagree w/, it says something more than 'ha deej referencing his fav artists'. you also talked about me realizing i had 'made an error' like whiney supposedly did. you clearly disagree w my use of that artist here and argued w me about it.

lol yes...if you think I'm high-strung now you should have seen young aero screaming at the screen whenever hilburn got tv time

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MUSIC! IF YOU SAY 'SPRINGSTEEN' ONE MORE TIME I'M GOING TO THROW A BRICK THROUGH THIS TV!"

if it was just lol to see me bring up jacka, like, "ha how deej," then never mind. if you think i was doing it for no reason other than to try to insert my fav artists into discourse whenever possible -- which is what aerosmith said, and you cosigned -- then i disagree. you should prob make up your mind which one you are arguing

can we all agree that the loser in all this is max b, especially when deej's review makes it sound like he's dead

i get the feeling from somedude -- but not j0rdan or flopson -- that you are questioning my motives. if this is just a misunderstanding, then i apologize for making a big deal abt it

can we all agree that the loser in all this is max b, especially when deej's review makes it sound like he's dead

haha yeah but i could hardly notice him w all the murderous barely contained hatred going on between snyder and fowley...also snyder was probably the most "punk" dude in the room IMO

aero was describing how that kind of thing can LOOK to readers regardless of intent and was recommending you consider that when you write, which i agreed with. but if you want to be an either/or absolutist about it, that's cool, i personally think those 2 perspectives are not mutually exclusive.

ok well thats not really an issue since this is afai can recall the only time ive done that, so i guess we all agree, flopson otm

only time ive referred to him w/ a seemingly unrelated artist i mean

cool. see you later.

*exhales*

didn't know max b was dead, rip

RIP max

*pours some out*

my main problem with the gucci/jacka stuff is that deej failed to mention 50, who obv plays a huge part in max's lineage

yah i mean im not sure it relates to what i was saying about him in relation to rappers who were his contemporaries, but 50 cent is obv a touchpoint i could have included. i mean what i was trying to say was that like 50 hes a songwriter, but he seperates out the song from the rapper in a way 50 didnt -- 50 did hooks as himself, you know?

eh thats poorly worded / confusin. ill rewrite when i get off work

I feel like I say this every time and deej I don't mean to blindside you but you have this bizarrely intense need imo to be vindicated by everyone. Like, you can't just drop it that Ship doesn't see eye to eye with you in terms of the jacka and gucci mane, you just have to keep going. And I don't think it's a horrible characteristic on its face -- it works for you when you're constantly evangelizing about music, but when it's about your own points it gets tedious and borders on maniacal imo

im not asking him to agree at all though

like, his opinion on the jacka is irrelevant, he can listen to sheek louch lps til the day he dies for all i care -- its a basic level of Not Being A Dick where he assumes im just fanboyishly referring to artists i like that feels particularly condescending which is weird coming from someone i 'socialize' with on a daily basis.

i mean, if that was his intent, which he claims it wasnt, now, so theres nothing to argue about

i guess jokes on me for taking him seriously

lol @ you latching onto the lox and freeway as the artists i supposedly bump all day every day and talk about constantly

lol @ you getting defensive about liking sheek louch

i'm not! that shit's aight but i mean, i know WAY more about your taste in rap and the stuff you listen to than vice versa, you can pretend you know exactly where i'm coming from but it's just a bunch of bullshit shots in the dark because i don't treat ilm as my personal last.fm listening diary.

ok? the point wasnt that i know what you like. nice job turning this into more zings & meanspiritedness though -- if you were trying to suggest im reading animosity into this you're prob not helping your case

is it to like sheek louch now? i still like him and i like freeway a lot, actually i love freeway

shh m@tt some dude doesnt want to read you last.fm

*your

hey, m@tt, tread lightly, the "keep it real" police are out in full force today

deej i'm saying that people here read your writing and respect your opinions and take your recommendations and understand your taste probably more than you'll ever know but because they also having a rapport of giving each other shit in a relatively harmless way and you don't know how to take a joke you'll forever have a ridiculous chip on your shoulder about the "animosity" i or whiney or aero has toward you.

GO LISTEN TO SKEEK LOUCHC RETRADE

some dude whiney & aero are the only ppl i have this problem with, though. i mean, aero came through to post a big paragraph to scare me from mentioning rappers i like in reviews. is that this famous witty rapport you're talking about?

ps: whiney way to miss the pt -- i like both sheek louch & freeway

"look, i would be fine if it wasn't for some dude, whiney, aero, flops, matt, frogbs, Princess TamTam, Dan P [continued forever]"

i mean, aero came through to post a big paragraph to scare me from mentioning rappers i like in reviews.

your delusions of persecution & your inability to discern intent in other people's posts is fucking breathtaking

shame on me for thinking talking to you with respect was a workable strategy, it's like obvious that you're not stupid but you sure do play a stupid person on ilm

I POSTED A PARAGRAPH TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVERSATION YOU HOPELESSLY DUMB SHIT, is what I want to say
