Recommendations for hip-hop without braggadocio (or these other tropes)?

I was thinking more of the dance part.

Какво по дяволите каза за мен, ти малка кучко? Трябва да знаеш, че съм завършил като най-добрия във випуска ми сред морските тюлени, участвал съм в множество тайни нападения на Ал-Кайда и имам над 300 потвърдени убийства. Обучен съм в горилско военно дело и съм най-добрият снайперист във въоръжените сили на САЩ. За мен не си нищо повече от просто поредната цел . Ще те очистя с точност, каквато никога преди не е била виждана на повърхността на планетата, не забравяй шибаните ми думи. Мислиш, че ще ти се размине с това да ме псуваш през интернет? Помисли отново, шибаняко. Докато говорим се свързвам с тайната ми мрежа от шпиони на територията на САЩ и IP адресът ти се проследява в същия момент, така че по-добре се подготви за бурята, скапаняк. Бурята, която ще унищожи жалкото нещо, което наричаш свой живот. Мъртъв си, хлапе. Мога да бъде навсякъде по всяко време, мога да те убия по над седемстотин различни начина и то само с голите ми ръце. Не само че съм широко обучен в невъоръжена борба, но имам достъп до целия арсенал на морската пехота на САЩ и ще го използвам в пълна степен да изтрия нещастния ти задник от лицето на континента, малко лайнарче такова. Ако можеше да знаеш какво безбожно възмездие малкият ти "остроумен" коментар ще ти донесе, може би щеше да държиш шибания си език зад зъбите. Но не го задържа, проговори, и сега ще си плащаш цената, проклет идиот. Ще изсера целия си бяс върху теб и ще се удавиш в него. Мъртъв си, хлапак.

Haha

:D

Meolmane, choose wisely. After listening to a Hendricks, Lambert & Ross record I spent several years mastering this strange new language. But people only laugh when I use it in public.

My family have been communicating exclusively in Hopelandish since 2001.

A-choo-woo-woooooo

^^ in mind it's always been 'eh-tu-wie-ieeeeeuuuuueeeee' but yours works just as well :)

True sign of a universal language.

Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped

I think it's incredibly tacky (to be generous) to ask this question in this manner, especially at this time.

In fact, if I wasn't being generous I would say it's obvious racist trolling* and the number of posters who are all "wait a minute, there's a serious discussion here we should entertain" is sickening.

* remember, trolling doesn't need to be insincere; it just needs to evoke a reaction

I was so sure this was an ancient revive

tbf most of us have been 'engaging' while also being extremely critical of the suspicious-at-best OP and basically asking them to rethink their ideas (which they haven't done)

There is a stark difference between "your thesis is flawed and this is why" and "well hey now, let's not jump down this person's throat; this request is completely understandable and we should be nice"

Sorry to disappoint, DJP. I do hope you're talking cultural differences into account, though – like I keep saying, not all of us are American or even from English-speaking countries, and that has a significant bearing on how we interpret OP's question, no matter how familiar we may be with US culture. I'm fairly certain that such a 'challenge' would have generated no controversy whatsoever on a French-language message board, for instance.

plenty of reasons why it was obvious from the start that this was a troll thread, but don't think "this alleged new poster clearly has detailed knowledge of the history of ilxor.com" has been mentioned yet.

Regardless, roxymuzak's point about 'reading a room' totally stands.

xp

xp Detailed, really? If I had such a ludicrous query on my mind and took an afternoon familiarizing myself with various general music forums, this is where I'd go. I mean that's kind of why I like this place.

I mean stuff like this

I personally haven't assumed that other posters here are American. After all, didn't ILM largely start as a community for fans of a Scottish twee-pop band?

ha, missed that. Did this guy ever say where he is supposedly from?

Braggadocia

Melomane isn't a new poster, though. Just do a name search.

He joined in 2018 and even then posted that ILM formed from Belle and Sebastian fans

So there goes the "he didn't know better" defense

bad questions deserve bad answers so I'm gonna say TobyMac

HHahahaha

Luv is a verb!

i've been here occasionally since mid 00s but somehow only found out the b&s thing this year. so much makes sense now in retrospect

Same lol.

The shame will always be with us :(

I just checked the wikipedia page to see if the B&S thing is mentioned; it's not but I did see this lmao: "The 200,000th thread occurred on February 1st, 2020 to very little fanfare and much disappointment"

ilx: very little fanfare, much disappointment

lol otm

Get me away from here, I'm drowning in braggadocio.

Braggadocio in the snow, where will you go
To find something you could troll?
Cause the word out on the street is you are FP'ing

Beautiful, brings a twear to my eye.

was ilx actually a belle and sebastian fan forum first? that would be awesome

no idea about this connection to B&S. Google brought me to a book about fan cultures.

Melomane, music fan on the end pew
You'd hip hop, but the tropes just won't let you
Le FP de la Braggadocio

(quiet)

brutal

I prefer "sleepy"

ILM = Joe Biden?

When people on ilx get backed into a corner via backlash they weren't expecting they either lose their cool and end up digging a deeper hole or they try too hard to appear thoughtful and save face with overwritten clarifications and... end up digging a deeper hole.

well i guess we found a sinister user amirite?

It's funny because I was on S*n*st*r (not embarrassed by this fact, just mortified by the content of my posts on there / the person I was aged 19) and then only joined ILX around um 2014 I think? And yeah, there were a couple of people on there like that.

it's good that ILE branched out to loving more than just things from the mid-2000s

Gotta stay with the times.
