lrg is that brand

1. I didn't. You bugging son.
2. I never said you did. What I am saying is in real life, you could get got for talking out your neck like that. You probably know this and wouldn't have the courage to say shit to my face. That's what I'm saying. And it's funny to me. You're bitch-made.
3. What's funny is if it got down to it, you would be. But you can pretend that you wouldn't because it'll never happen.



But I doubt you'd be sharp enough to recognize it.



You're really showing your age. DJ Shadow ain't all that obscure to folks that know hip-hop and are in their twenties and thirties. Most of my people know and respect dude.



Good for you. But that's not a valid comparison. If you were as smart as you think you are, you'd know that. You can't compare them cats with Shadow, seeing as Shadow, in your words, was "apathetic." Those two think of conspicuous consumption in moral terms.

Regardless, I'm not going to respond to anything you have to counter because, as Morton was saying:

I always looked at shadow as someone who tries his hand at everything...thus he has put out a little of everything...was Bloodstain hiphop?..or how about Six Days, do you consider that hiphop...what matters is that he is consistently good at any genre he chooses to go into...it's just unfortunate you look past a type of music YOU disagree with...because he did that well too.

Word. I wouldn't say he's able to make GREAT music in every genre though, most of the stuff he tries out on this album is rather mediocre to me.

I've called Mos Def gay on plenty of occasions.




You're right. I was wrong, and that was an ignorant call.




Really? I'm not afraid of new things; such as what DJ Shadow pioneered. But his new album is crap for the most part. It's aimed at a) a larger audience and b) he's never done hyphy before; he's not from the bay, he didn't help pioneer it. That's called selling out. I'm not elitist, but I can tell a sellout when I see one. If you think my occasional rant on a message board is killing Hip Hop more than this:

Then you need to get your eyes checked. Or your ears.



Yes, I would. You're lard-made.



It was an allegorical remark to showcase how one could tell if one was selling out. You can't deny that DJ Shadow is more well-known than previously.

Not only is Shadow from The Bay, He lives & works in The Bay.

"I wanted to make songs without samples, because I felt like that whole methodology didn't connect with me anymore. Theres just no way that doing an instrumental album would do anything for me right now. If people are taken aback by anything on the new album, it's only because some people only think of me in one way, and thats not the way it is."-DJ Shadow

I need a reup on this

Born in central valley. He went to my local High School and College, not in The Bay. Close, but the Central Valley isn't The Bay.

who said anything about his birthplace dickweed?

I don't know. Maybe...just maybe...it was the 'from' part.

and neither Premier or Guru are from New York, Ludacris aren't from Atlanta and Ice Cube aren't from Compton what is your point?
