Re: fans of underground rap?

And yeah, I get it..it's a VERY opinionated topic, but when you say someone is CLEARLY better the rest, of course you're going come off as a dick rider.

and right back at you with all your "El-P's album was the best of the year" nonsense. Anyone with ears could have told you otherwise.

Re: fans of underground rap?

Timbaland - Too mainstream for me... but you're right
Anthony 'ANT' Davis - A lot of goofy sounding stuff... I know YOUR love for Atmosphere tho so I see why you have him up there, but ew
Kno - Good call... Dirty Acres was superb
Madlib - Beat of the Year "everything man"
MF Doom - No Hell
MF Grimm - Hell No
Oh No - 1 of 20 beats will be AMAZING... 19 of 20 will be boring
Aesop - I don't see this
EL-P - You KNOW i don't see this
Junk Science - Never heard of him
Blockhead - Him either.

I gave the album a chance. After that chance I deleted every song except for Poisonville. It's really just noise. I'm not surprised with those reviews either. In a world where Mims and Lil' Boosie are on top of the game, you have to really wonder.

What does mainstream have to do with anything?
Anthony 'ANT' Davis - A lot of goofy sounding stuff... I know YOUR love for Atmosphere tho so I see why you have him up there, but ew
Yes, I love atmosphere, but what does that have to do with anything
Kno - Good call... Dirty Acres was superb
No ****
Madlib - Beat of the Year "everything man"
Hardly, not even my favorite madlib track of the year
MF Doom - No Hell
LMAO - okay, someone hasn't listened to anything from the special herbs series
MF Grimm - Hell No
Lemme guess, you hated American Hunger and Gingerman
Oh No - 1 of 20 beats will be AMAZING... 19 of 20 will be boring
Same can be said for 9th
Aesop - I don't see this
Didn't expect you to
EL-P - You KNOW i don't see this
See Aesop response
Junk Science - Never heard of him
That's a shame
Blockhead - Him either.
Try to find Peanuts in your mouth

Look, I'm not beefin' with you. You're a cool cat, and you make a lot of great posts in this thread. I just always feel you have an underground complex if you will, and your response to my notion of timbaland proved that I was onto something.

You know what, that's cool man. I'm glad you at least gave the album a chance. I'm not going to shove my views on the album down anyone's throat. I'm just saying not every review listens to "laffy taffy" type music.

Timbaland is always on his club-game.

Is it a crime to not be into club music? And yes, nearly everything mainstream THESE days are made for the club, or for some stupid-*** dance.

I have 46 Jay-Z songs... I'm the guy who gave Kanye's album Classic status (prematurely)... I have Just Blaze produced tracks... and a few Nas. I have Jeezy, Lil' Wayne, and Snoop littered through out my playlist....

I don't have an underground complex by any means but there are producers I enjoy more than others and you shouldn't have read that much into my comment.

Is this better for you... IMO (again, I can't be any more clear with this In my own opinion ****) 9th Wonder is the most ENJOYABLE producer to listen to ... FOR ME... if we keep arguing one producer vs. the other, we aren't going to get anywhere. Our tastes are way too different.

you're right, and I apologize for putting it down like that when I believe in the "everyone has their opinion" view. I just don't think I'm a dick-rider just because I get excited for all the new 9th ish to come out more-so than anyone else. He's just my favorite, and my favorite stuff is the best to me.

Complex: an exaggerated reaction to or preoccupation with a subject or situation c: a group of obviously related units of which the degree and nature of the relationship is imperfectly known

And if you actually read what I said about you, I say you weren't a dick rider. I was making a generalization of 9th fanboys, which I repeat, you aren't one of them.

ha... but in my defense... I have been in my boy's car enough to know that "Duffle Bag Boy" is on the radio every 8 minutes or so.

I haven't voluntarily turned on the radio for 5 years now, and I'm so happy that I've made that choice.

Re: fans of underground rap?

All I gotta say is Dilla may be one of the best ever for me. Followed by 9th and Madlib. I still gotta get my **** movin though, I haven't heard all that much in the underground game.
