Follow instructions from a crusty, low life expectant Sherlock Homes....shut the fukk up you clown

Trying to think there's a deeper subliminal message when there isn't

I'll change my name to 'black fard' when you change your name to 'little c*nt', although that would be doing c*nts a disservice since they are actually useful

I'm not obliged to give a synopsis in this thread because that is NOT the purpose of the thread. How many times I gotta say this? Moreover, I don't have time for a synopsis, and if I did end up writing one, it certainly wouldn't be to fulfil your desires.

I don't even believe you wrote reviews because you write like fukking diarrhoea. All over the place and full of shyt. Repetition of words like 'toy', what are you on about?

Stay in your lane.



shove that list up your fakkit ass

I'd rather be a vulture than a pigeon


So, are you admitting you are a culture thief.
Again, what about biggie, digable and mos def?

Take @caccinfms advice please.

And thanks in advance.

Just ignore @Iron Chin Wilder he's a troll.

@Art Barr is actually a knowledgeable poster, but he's not grasping the point of the thread for some reason, so I would just ignore him too. There is no winning an argument with @Art Barr :lolbron:


So, since he has clung to you.
You throw me under the bus.
When real talk, you use my actual prodigy and mobb deep content.
on your own self admission you did not know.
to parade around here like the authority in mobb deep in fallacy
Okay,.....

I pose the question to you,...
What about:

Digable planet
Biggie
Mos def


Let's see how quick your clique's agenda clouds your mind and you forget.
who really fleshed out all the Content your whole username is based on.

So, again,....

What about :

Digable planets
Biggie
Mos def


Let's see how thorough you are?

Plus, since we throwing people under the bus.
When you fail, we gon survey how your crew failed to inaccurrately graft me as a race traitor.
While you crew is built on praising the culture thief guy.
Who does what I did not do and publically denounced as well.
To draw comparison to how you as a posse keep perpetrating this fard sellout pass system.

Again,.....what about:

Digable
Biggie
Mos def

I know he's knowledgeable I've seen his other posts but dude's a fukking idiot as well. But you're right I'm playing into his childish mind if I continue arguing.

The other dude can eat a dikk idc about him.

you smell that breh?

that's the smell of the oven calling for you to put a casserole in and listen to Blowout Comb...

:ufdup::myman:

Also yeah man I'm very anti double albums because there is a compromise with quality with regards to filler, so LAD didn't pass the first test to be deemed a classic. Neither did AEOM for me. Wu Forever is different because it is GOAT.

LAD is the GOAT double album

WTF didnt even make the source top 100 album of all time list

@mobbinfms shame on you for supporting the fakkit and now he's questioning you on all sorts of shyt man, wtf is his deal lmao....accusing you of throwing him under a bus. holy shyt I've never seen such stupidity

anyway I got your back

LAD is the GOAT double album

WTF didnt even make the source top 100 album of all time list

I don't live and die by source magazine bro...I'm saying I never give a double album classic because it will inevitably suffer from filler, and perhaps my bias points towards the only reason I give Wu Forever classic status idk...

what is the filler on Wu Forever? can you admit LAD has filler?

Deflect cause you don't know hiphop history at all.

Yet, trying to raid the braintrust and sway the community with a forum poll at the same time to fit your misinformed toy agenda.

How very hiohopinfinity.com of you.

I'm younger than you (so it's even sadder than you're taking time to argue this out with me) so undoubtedly you know more about the culture and history. I won't deny that. I've had to do a lot of homework to get to my level of understanding today, I admit that. But don't come at me with this 'holier than thou' argument and try and subordinate me or my knowledge in any way.

You are no better than me or anyone else in this thread, and your fukking signature is a joke for real, what an egomaniac...

If you want to discuss stuff or teach me about things, I'm all ears. Don't act like some dikkhead professor trying to examine me and assess whether I'm suitable to talk about hip-hop or not. Your thought about cultural exclusion is cancerous tbh, especially when there are people like myself who are engrossed in the culture and respect it and are fascinated by it.

All you're doing is revealing what a piece of shyt you really are on the inside
:scust:

God bless you man. I hope you can be saved.

Mos Def was the complete package for the 'thinking brotha' rapper. Said smart shyt, looked good, ladies loved him, beats were hard, high charisma that appealed to underground and a bit of mainstream, and you couldn't front on dude's skills. Him falling off almost singlehandedly killed the entire conscious rap movement.

this...it was really hard trying to get into mos's stuff after BOBS and i gave those a thorough listen..although the amerigo cazaway mashup albums with marvin gaye were dope

fukking You Tonight
I Love the Dough (kinda, love Jay)
Another
Nasty Boy

The World is Filled (kinda, less than the rest)

anyway more so than that, the other tracks aren't standout, at least not all. There's a lot of album tracks just there to serve their purpose imo. Very few tracks blew me away like that.

LAD i do think is classic but it had some filler for real..the ones i bolded are true definition of filler..another is just a terrible song all around and i cringed when puff resurrected that nasty boy vocal for that duets bullshyt..the other songs you mentioned are dope..not filler...although i can do without puff on the world is filled..also going back to cali never worked for me...out of all the times ive heard the more bounce sample flipped..that one was not hittin and big's verses were on that generic/average level

Filler is really hard to assess lol, depends on what kinda perspective you look from

I think some of the songs I listed are dope as they are, but weren't needed on the album

How you think LAD filler compares to filler on other double discs?

true..because there are filler songs on most double albums that are obvious but arent bad per se..i compared to a double album that i thought had crazy filler plus being average like blueprint 2, LAD wasnt that bad

oh yeah LAD has some of the most minimal filler I've seen, along with top tier double disc albums like AEOM and Wu Forever. Thing is, I find it hard to rate these albums as classic when in the same thread I've rated Ready to Die a classic, which pretty much has no filler and is of exceptional quality.

I mean I'm going by my own definition of classic obviously, and the first test it has to pass is the test of quality, which it fails in imo. Still a dope album, and obviously has influence, relevance and all the rest of it.
