Man
you coulda waited before you said this, at least have given me ONE day to
think Muziq was a genius. But oh well, your statement has some validitiy. But
fuckit, to me some much West Coast rap is rip off from each other, but it is still
killer (for those who like it-not me) So in the end, who cares if he rips TJ/RDJ
off, Lunatic Harness gave me the reaction we all search for when we hear a
release for the FIRST time. That is all I need from a purchase, I really don't
search for anything else. If I have my head bopping up and down when I am the
store, chances are it's comming home with me:)
If you rip off others fine as long as you do it really well, or even better. A good
example, would be Pentatonik ripping off Orbital's sound (green/brown lps)
IMO, Anthology was a total Orbital rip off, but done ten times better than
Orbital could have ever done at the time:) We don't even need to get into dn'b
guys who use the 'amen break' in every track to talk about rip offs, that's
another thread done a 100 times. Ugh, why did I dig up a buried bone;(
