why people are on his dick for the shitty Tribe albums, Labcabincalifornia, and the post-Paul De La albums is beyond me. Common? ugh fuck that guy

Alex, the cult lives WITHIN THE SELF

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:00 (fifteen years ago) link

the self is supposed to, i dunno, flog itself or something for repentence of not being around to know who died after they died or something like that.

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:01 (fifteen years ago) link

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Alex in SF, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:02 (fifteen years ago) link

alex, i'm just trying to get all pipecock on you and i'm failing ;_;

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:04 (fifteen years ago) link

most of the dilla stans make their own lil beats at home too - theres def some steve vai style technical aspiration thing going on

ice cr?m, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:06 (fifteen years ago) link

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

Alex in SF, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:07 (fifteen years ago) link

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?

ian, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:08 (fifteen years ago) link

The Eminem track.

Alex in SF, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:09 (fifteen years ago) link

dido

cool app (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:09 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

pipecock, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:25 (fifteen years ago) link

You have a style that people want to bite? No way

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.

who wants to bite the pipecock

This thread got unpleasant quick.

Alex in SF, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:38 (fifteen years ago) link

bring back dom and ethan

Local Garda, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:39 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah, about when you started talking shit on me in the third post in it.

pipecock, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:39 (fifteen years ago) link

i'm going to the mickey avalon thread now so I can relax

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:40 (fifteen years ago) link

the only solution here is if we all suggest bands we can agree on.

Local Garda, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:41 (fifteen years ago) link

I already made my suggestions a long time ago.

Jordi La Sarge (The Reverend), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:42 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

One of the Most High Profile Comedy Directors of the 90s (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:45 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

Andy K, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:45 (fifteen years ago) link

"Everything I've heard of his I have actively disliked."

He's great in Smokin' Aces.

Alex in SF, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:46 (fifteen years ago) link

I'll never forgive him for that Compared to What Coke spot

One of the Most High Profile Comedy Directors of the 90s (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:47 (fifteen years ago) link

common has had some joints IMO...esp first couple of albums, but there's even his more hippie stuff that i like

brother marquis (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:48 (fifteen years ago) link

get an idea about hiphop before you comment in the j dilla thread, might that be too much to ask?

pipecock, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:48 (fifteen years ago) link

Yes. Next question.

Alex in SF, Monday, 16 March 2009 23:50 (fifteen years ago) link

haha

yes what is all this hippin and a hoppin the kids are doing these days?

One of the Most High Profile Comedy Directors of the 90s (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 16 March 2009 23:52 (fifteen years ago) link

i've never seen one of these shirts in melbourne but i bet they're out there, we can be pretty corny about hip-hop.

sftu shakey mo

i agree 100% w/ pipecock about like water for chocolate

ridin down the yellow brick road in the yellow 6-4 (deej), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 00:14 (fifteen years ago) link

'doin it' is A+++

ridin down the yellow brick road in the yellow 6-4 (deej), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 00:14 (fifteen years ago) link

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 butthurt
wahhh nerds are corny

ridin down the yellow brick road in the yellow 6-4 (deej), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 00:17 (fifteen years ago) link

^has been my fav/most played song the past couple months. and i usually hate rap tracks with singsong choruses.

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 00:59 (fifteen years ago) link

even better off that album was the dwele track 'dime piece remix'

ridin down the yellow brick road in the yellow 6-4 (deej), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 01:07 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah not feeling that one at all
shakey if you can't get past perceived lameness wrt to common and appreciate the musical backing throughout Like Water for Choc then I just feel sorry for ya

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 01:14 (fifteen years ago) link
