Sit down eat your slice of pizza and be quiet
Lately, it seems that there has been a lot of complaining on the My 2 Cents forum. People bitching and moaning about whatever the fuck people on message boards bitch and moan about, mostly shit that was cool to them when they were in their formative years, that kids that who are currently in their formative years could give a fuck about, thus leaving this older group all butt hurt about it. I understand it, and I don’t really want to go off on a rant about it because, let’s face it, that’s just boring and annoying.
I prefer to live in the now. The past is the past, it was fresh no doubt, but let’s not forget that there was a lot of stupid shit back then that conveniently gets overlooked. I mean come on now, why would the library be used as a tool of the government to bury the lies? Doesn’t it make more sense for the lies to be right up front with the new periodicals and new fiction as opposed to buried in the basement next to dead languages where nobody can be exposed to them?
That’s the kinda shit I'm talking about. People getting all worked up over some song by a sixteen year-old kid about a dance he does when wearing an over-sized shirt, yet they never talk about how 'The Pee-Wee Herman” is an ode to a creepy pedophile who hangs around with a goddamned cowboy with Jheri Curl…no Morpheus.
I don’t know, maybe it's just me. I might be getting old and seeing things with a bit more perspective, but I really could careless if Lupe ever heard Midnight Marauders or not. It makes not one lick of difference in my life. So the sort of over-the-top outrage bandied on message boards is ridiculous, and it should be saved for things that really matter and affect the lives of people. Things like whether or not Pharrell dresses like a homo.
Granted, I know that message boards are a place for hot windbag know-it-alls to wax nostalgic about why Kool G Rap is better than Kanye, or why the next Lox album is gonna save the game, but isn’t it kinda pathetic to get so worked up that you actually out yourself by calling everyone who disagrees a faggot, I mean we all know the most homophobic people are usually the most gay, just ask the Christian Right.
Personally I love all the new shit that’s coming out. It's getting away from the golden age ideal, that has been damn near canonized and just inspires bland copies of great albums. I would much rather hear some new-sounding shit that is taking the music to a new level and gets young women ready to disrobe, as opposed to being in a room full of thirty-four year-old men who still really like smoking blunts, drinking cheap beer and talking about the second Gang Starr record. Christ, I already do that for a living, why would I want to do that in my free time?
I guess what I'm getting at is that you guys are making me look bad. I am having a harder and harder time defending my position of fourth most famous rapper on a page where grown men cry like Mets fans because someone they don’t know or really like has the audacity to say something like “I never really liked Tupac and thought he was an overrated fraud,” or “people who still dress in oversized gear are like metal heads who still have mullets, thus deserving of our mockery.” You should leave things like that to me. See how much easier it goes down when I write my opinion, and it’s not coming from someone with thinks spoken word is the eighth element of hip-hop.
Anyway that’s all for today, next week I will have a very special guest feature. Until then, fuck off.
