How am I not an expert on Gang Starr records? I've been listening to them since their debut hahaha. I was 20 going on 21 when MOT dropped. Still have the source mag with Cube on the cover in which they received 4.5 mics. I was watching the Tonight show in real time the summer of 92 when they performed "take it personal" as the 2nd ever rap artsts to be on the tonight show. I have a gang of original pressings of Gang Starr vinyl AND cds/cassettes. Attended a gang starr concert in September of 99 that Guru autographed all of my albums(Primo wouldn't come out of the back after the concert). For the record, I was a bboy, but not great. You saying you were a better bboy and rapper than me means absolutely nothing because I'm not great at those

. That's like saying you're a better soccer player than me. You can have it homeboy. How could I not pay attention to MOT when I was listening to it every day all day. That year in 1998, all I could do was play ball and listen to music. I was on a military deployment restricted to a base for 6 months of 1998.
I have no idea why you want to go on this "i'm more hip hop than you" tirade with everyone on the site, but i'm seriously not the one for that argument. Cuz I can also dig into my stash of pictures of touring (actually touring with a band) highlighting artists, some of them before they blew up. So let's just stop this please. It's going nowhere. And as a G Rap fan, I have lot of his original pressings and collectible hip hop items from his career as well. I'm not here to prove I'm "more hip hop" than you or anyone. It's quite silly and my life is too good to have to do that on a forum with a bunch of 20 year olds.
nikka you said inflammatory shyt about me.
You popped off.
Do i have to press the quote button and let everybody see.
your shock jock posting comment. By bolding it.
The only person being a shock jock is you. Self admitted non expert level skill and non draw in the pillars. If you are a pretentious classically trained band member and not an actual emcee or dmc level dj. How are you trying to even talk about draw. When you are encompassed in a group. Whereas I am a solo artist sir.
skill is not natural in hiphop in general. I am not above you in draw and grassroots skill from naturally waking up. I am higher in quality because I put forth and showed and proved culturally and skillfully in pillars of actual hiphop.
when alternatively you did not and STILL DO NOT THO.
Also.
The Only person who never supplied any real review of your own. Not a quote of the source[which for the era was after it was culturally compromised from bribery. So to even mention the source's review and
Not supply your own. Or this detail culturally. Already shows the difference between me and you. Plus not to cite this kernel to even mention in your Ramblin nostalgia membor-berries. Just to show how you not thorough culturally and just a classically trained band member and fan of hiphop culture. ]or even idea about mot being better is still you.
It is you sir.
You can nOt deflect and say I am a shock jock.
to elaborately cover up you have not and still will not review the albums. Or show some idea about the talent in era you brought up. While alternatively....I answered your replies or ideas about those artist you brought up and why it is not better. You still have not supplied any content or rant about the actual albums. Just a bunch of Ramblin member-berries about nostalgia. Yet and still not actual critique from you on the actual albums and artist you brought up to counter and open with a slight like a shock jock.
Shock jock say shyt without having any actual factual or cultural know how on the subject.
I always have completely showcased culturally and factually I am in the actualized know about hiphop and also just the business of rap in just this subforum alone. Let alone the other subforums I terraformed. nikkaz refugee too. these same deflection artist and shock jocks you claim me to be.
Just like you.
still never supply any actual content or know how.
on the actual content of any subforum they frequent. Just barbs at the person who has always shown and proved.
that which they still will not do. Some twenty-five years later and that is show and prove.
