also, black hippy rapping over a zombies sample and calling it "rolling stone" pisses me off to no end

why
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 05:46 (thirteen years ago) link
i think they're using 'rolling stone' in the biblical sense not the we-are-naming-the-rock-band-we're-sampling sense
you take everything too seriously dude, sheesh
― chairfuckers union (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 9 May 2011 14:31 (thirteen years ago) link
what the fuck is "BERNER." When I was in the bay, his record was like selling a billion copies at Rasputin and Amoeba. And like every rapper in the world is on this--Stalin, KRIT, Billboard-topping pop sensation WiZ Khalaffa, Killer Mike, Yukmouth. I downloaded it and this shit is horrible. Dude raps like Fieldy

we've only talked about him 20x before
sorry for 'taking you seriously'

I've been off the thread a little bit. What is board consensus on this?
― chairfuckers union (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 9 May 2011 15:49 (thirteen years ago) link
hes a weak rapper, but my take was that hes kind of charmingly bad & its funny how he hammers the beginnings of words Like Hes Rapping In Title Case.
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 15:58 (thirteen years ago) link
ive also surmised that hes the son of a diplomat & buys expensive friends for his rap albums; sisilfami mentioned something ive also heard which is that hes a big weed dealer.
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 16:00 (thirteen years ago) link
his ads are all over my bus stops here in SF, no way am I listening to it, looks moronic

whiney's berner post just had me choking on a pretzel george bush style
― J0rdan S., Monday, 9 May 2011 16:32 (thirteen years ago) link
if it's an open secret on ilx that he's a massive weed dealer then i can't imagine that he's long for this world
how else do you think whiney supports his lavish lifestyle?

it really is amazing and mysterious how a shitty rapper is able to collaborate with much better and more famous rappers and capitalize on those associations, i'm pretty sure that's never happened before

before you had to own the source tho
― coo coo khal (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link
no ones saying its mysterious, its just lol cuz berner looks not at all like a rap star.
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link
its like he won some sort of contest
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:08 (thirteen years ago) link
why would people be discussing theories and rumors about how his career happened if it's not 'mysterious'?
― raggett doll, livin' in a rovi (some dude), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:10 (thirteen years ago) link
bcuz its funny
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:12 (thirteen years ago) link
like im sure the real reason is boring, its just fun to imagine weird reasons for the origins of a dude who looks like one of the goofy stoners i knew in high school
dont let that keep you from sucking the fun out of it, tho
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:13 (thirteen years ago) link
sorry i just don't understand what "doesn't look like a rap star" means

he doesnt rap like a rap star either.

berner looks like what i imagine sergdun looks like

matt gets a belated "there it is"

― J0rdan S., Monday, 9 May 2011 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm just saying -- there are lots of different types of people for which there is no precedent for 'looking like a rap star,' but stoners and/or white trash types are not among them

are you really arguing this
look at a picture of berner & tell me what rap star he looks like
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:49 (thirteen years ago) link
bubba sparxxx? i mean is there anything to this besides 'lol he's white and not very tough-looking'?
― raggett doll, livin' in a rovi (some dude), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:54 (thirteen years ago) link
he looks more like an overweight a-trak imo
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link
there's a geekiness to berner that bubba didnt have
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link
reminded me of scott storch at first glance
― lex pretend, Monday, 9 May 2011 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean it's not like he looks like aaron carter, pretty much if any chubby white dude with a goatees and a blunt in his hand told me he raps i'd think "of course you do"
but then i'm going off GIS here, haven't seen him in a video or anything
― raggett doll, livin' in a rovi (some dude), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link
also i didnt think berner was white tbh
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:57 (thirteen years ago) link
if only he had dropped some sort of hint

hint: thats about coke
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 17:59 (thirteen years ago) link
but i mean even if you assumed he wasn't white i don't know if he'd look out of place as a cypress hill hanger-on or something
― raggett doll, livin' in a rovi (some dude), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:01 (thirteen years ago) link
well im def incorporating his persona as a rapper / video presence into my interpretation here, which i assumed you were as well so

thats a far cry from rap STAR which was the original terms we were discussing? berner makes me think of, like, spliff star -- distinctive non-entity -- its like if spliff star had a solo record w/ big name guest verses
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:03 (thirteen years ago) link
in the post-drake/minaj era i don't even know if there IS a rap star profile tbh
― raggett doll, livin' in a rovi (some dude), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
so glad pin-up tv stars and women with huge asses finally have a place in rap superstardom
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:05 (thirteen years ago) link
just saying if a guy that looks like Eamon and a black Fanta girl can get on the cover of XXL, the field's pretty open

hint: sometimes rappers use double entndres!
― chairfuckers union (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:14 (thirteen years ago) link
and sometimes they dont? he looked Mediterranean / israeli / arab in some way & assuming hes white bcuz of the album title is presumptuous. 'all white everything' doesnt make young jeezy white either.
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:16 (thirteen years ago) link
regardless, if he is white, comparing him to bubba sparxx because hes white is about as meaningful as comparing eminem to aesop rock
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:18 (thirteen years ago) link
you asked who he looks like, not whose music he sounds like
