iirc it first came up when i observed a positive consensus towards 'fuck you' by cee lo.
al disagreed & he or someone linked to the singles jukebox as evidence
i said that, like, in my anecdotal experiences, it was kind of universally liked, (more than even say the kanye record is now), implying that this was an ilx / critnerd bubble that suggested the song was getting mixed reviews.
cant believe we're still arguing about THAT clusterfukk

my take:
N.W.A. felt more like the straw that broke the camel's back in terms of street talk coming into the mainstream of hip hop, like it made it a phenomenon...but they far from the first...obv, they did it in a more compelling and visceral (and well produced/polished way thanks to dre)...
Run-DMC to me is still THE event of hip hop because yah they did have a street vibe, the way they dressed, the more angry yelling tone, the stripped down beats...everything before them seemed old fashioned after them...
it's almost a beatles/50s rock n' roll thing...like the beatles were more sophisticated musically and probably have more influence on stuff that is happening today...but the 50s rock n' roll guys created the environment that made the beatles even possible....they really changed the world more than the beatles did IMO.

i think this is a solid argument. one of the things that i think about a lot though (cue GZA thread clusterfuck), is how stuff sounds in today's context. You can still drop Eazy E in clubs & people go nuts for it ... his voice really feels relevant today. Other than throwback nights, though, I cant see people dropping too many run dmc songs. (did love hearing rock box in GTA)
For awhile when i spun i was using the peter piper instrumental -- that shit still sounds bonkers

this is def tru btw
but dude ppl are clowning u because 1) it was a legit funny phrase and 2) you get so mad about it. imagine if sarge got this pissed every time someone dropped a 'svelte' or something

yeah it's almost as if anytime someone brings it up as a joke another poster starts furiously posting all earnestly trying to defend himself in an argument that hasn't even happened
― gimme schefter (J0rdan S.), Friday, 10 December 2010 00:49 (thirteen years ago) link
i got annoyed because ppl started thinking that you for real couldnt bring up anecdotal experiences, or that it somehow undercut your argument to do so!! i dont give a shit, i still get crap for rocking chair in the trillville thread, or sage francis's nuts, or whatever else, but i dont make a big deal about it. this is like, it seems like dudes think theres an actual issue w/ the content of what i was arguing, that there was some fallacy in incorporating real world experiences.
if this is not the case then ill leave it alone

I have no idea what you guys are talking about and now I wanna know

dude for the last time im not aggy cuz someone associates that phrase w/ me, im fine w/ it in context, its that yall are misrepresenting what my point was in the first place ('yall' might just be 'whiney')

like, im defending my use of it in the context of that argument -- i havent even made that big a deal of it when al uses it, aside from when you got defensive about bringing up an anecdote because you thought it would sound too 'in my world of young ppl' -- & i was just like ,dude, theres nothing wrong with that!

look, when whiney made a smash off thread about katy perry & zoey deschanell & he accidentally worded the thread so it made it seem like he wanted to drown them in a river (pause for lols) & people started zinging him for it all across the board he wasn't all "you guys are misrepresenting my point!!!" -- this is just stupid

only in the sense that for some reason you think it's high crime for your ilx intellectual property to be misrepresented in order to mildly zing you from time to time

whiney accidently writing that he wanted to drown girls is lol. i didnt 'accidently' write anything. hes just randomly misconstruing a point to smear what i was saying
