Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I'm about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It's like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.
Nah. Sampling =/= stealing; we not doin this tonight. Beyond that, rap battles have distinctly African roots; while I'll allow that troubadour 'flyting' is very similar, I'm not gonna let the reduction of rap battle to 'troubadour type shit' slide like that.
We just not doin any of this tonight.
