zing

i'm lebanese but my personality is amerrrican. i like america, just not american trash. american woman jabbing ppl and screaming "faggot" in a hotel cuz she got embarrassed = american trash. faggot shouldn't be treated lightly, and neither should arguing against it - because wherever you or i may live or whoever we may know, there are still plenty of ppl living in plenty o places that do use the word faggot and the like to great detriment.

though the plain and simple notion of human equality shouldn't need a medal to encourage it (self-righteousness etc.), still these days, as a gay man, i find it worthy of praise.

U-God is awful. His verses are almost uniformly bad, IMHO.

RZA is a great lyricist and his beats (at least before 2000), are amazing.
GZA's verses are the most cerebral.
Inspectah Deck is a hugely underrated lyricist, and while he's not charismatic enough to handle a track alone, he always makes a track better (BTW, check his verse on "Let My Niggas Live"-- it's badass)
Ghostface is the most stream-of-consciousness and in many ways the most surreal lyricist.
ODB... well, you gotta love ODB.
I don't really care for Meth all that much. His style doesn't really fit in with the other members in my opinion.

Wow, I'm listening to the first 25 seconds of "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" right now, and it's totally perfect. I love the way all the parts come in, one at a time: the circular bass line interlocking with the crisp drumbeat, then the hypnotic, dreamy synth-swirl, then the clean, stuttering guitar. There's much more to a mood in this song -- wistful, sensual -- than in the pedestrian jangle of the Only Ones.

makes a change from .xls jokes, certainly.

so harsh yet so funny

has anyone ever called out n1ck "i'm sure bob dylan read my stylus article on sound compression" s0uthall? he is surely the king of that behaviour.

I support Scik's cause though

to be fair nick's article is in the da capo thingummy book, it's not just stylus.

more like da crapo, amirite?

"Throw Some D's" is the masterful piece of production architecture.
"Make It Rain (Remix)" is the true rhyme event.
"This Is Why I'm Hot" is the flawless piece of pop.

So who gets to be called 2007's greatest hip-hop single?

she comes across as an aspirational culture-tourist, as someone who wishes to impress others by if not demonstrating a great knowledge of their supposed cultural depth, at least recognising some of its major tenets.

Unfotunately, she is also a complete idiot, so this effort fell flat on its sorry face.

most of my data loss is from user errors

There was a (complementary) creché facility which they failed to use, for some reason. Obviously they're going to be cursing themselves for doing this, but... Oh I dunno. What's common sense? I wrote about it on my blog and someone called me a bastard. For my book I'm planning a chapter on a husband who drugs his wife and artificially inseminates her with other mens' sperm to order, then has the babies 'abducted' as toddlers as a cover for selling them.
