i don't want to criticize anybody, i'm just saying it looks really strange, that's all

the part where sr is sitting on the stage while playing some hyperkinetic hardcore (Foul Play) (at about 23 minutes) is almost surreal. he's sitting there on his chair, drinking water, scratching his ear. the audience is also totally motionless (i see one guy nodding his head, next to a girl who...

not living in the uk i get my information for a large part of the internet. i came across these two articles: saying 'yuk' to curry is racist about the casual racism of three year olds who dont like curry schoolboys punished for refusing to pray to allah about schoolboys who got punished for...

i'm quite sure there was a thread over here with confessions. People talked about Paris stinking, New York stinking, swears posted a nice picture, for which mistersloane offered him a nice service. Zhao said some ill-advised stuff. Then Nomos said it was the worst thread he ever saw, and now the...

how do you feel about this? this is what i already said in the grime thread "i remember this thread came to life because moderators complained there were too many grime threads (remember the "not another grime thread" by kpunk). now there are too little? i would think people who post here can...

19 great hiphop albums in less than 3 months?? this surely must be the best year for hiphop ever.

do you really refuse to see that the rhizome of the hiphop discours trancends human boundaries, and will never be grasped by the narrow mind of a mere non-american? well, if i wasn't bored already, i am now.

i think that you, as a non american who wasn't RAISED on hiphop, are missing out on the lost gem "Crack killed applejack" by General Kane

well, i'm done too. though i wasn't bored for three pages, i like a heated discussion, otherwise i wouldn't take part in it. but i'll shut up now

First PD tries to slaughter me when i don't agree with his fact that hiphop is 35 years old. about which you say i take your challenge and explain why i think it's not true. you go out of your way to show i'm wrong and you and pd are right. Then, when it turns out you cant distinguish between...

there you go again: kool herc mostly credited as an emcee???:rolleyes: also, i don't know what your wikipedia (the source of the truth?) quote should prove. I read hiphop's roots are in the 50's (roots being not the thing itself, i hope we can agree on that) and forming in the 70's.

i said Kool Herc (who had no songs, no recordings) was the beginning of hiphop, this was your response i cant read this any other way than you thinking that kool herc made records which i unjustly suppose are the beginning of hiphop. its fine with me when you want to discuss on an...

i talk about kool herc as the root of hiphop and you think i'm talking about hip-hop recordings, boy you really show you know nothing about hiphop beginnings. could you tell me please which great "hiphop recordings" kool herc made?

no, lets say that everything already exists for hundreds, even thousands of years, and that todays manifestations are only one face of an everchanging same, that's really helpful when you want to make things clear and meaningful

that's the same as saying that the beatles existed in 1945, because all four beatles were already born. A thing only exists when it exists as such, not when it's parts exist, but it itself doesnt

alright. i didn't challenge him because it was a grime thread, but here goes. the fact that "the four elements fo hiphop" (which weren't seen as such at the time, as gumdrops pointed out) existed in 1972 doesn't mean hiphop existed such. as far as i know the only dj's in 72 were disco dj's...

wow, that really is a great translation of this:

alright, my last post on this: i never said pd can't make general statments. it's exactly the other way around. i questioned his statement that hiphop is 35 years old, and this was his answer maybe you understand now as well why i think his usage of "one" is quite the contrary of its original...

it's hard to read and try to understand what other people really say, and much easier to read what you want them to say, isn't it? i am not "all up" on him because he is dogmatic, i ridicule him because he is portraying himself as the fountain of wisdom in matters hiphop, against whom you...

i'm talking about a general feeling in hiphop at different points in time, not about whether a specific artist belongs in a specific category. whatever you say, hiphop in the late 80's was more exciting and "fun" (shouldn't have used that word i guess, as it seems nobody is willing to see that i...
