Yeah, it's the JOB of the people on this list to impress you. Let's all send Dan John our classic hip hop vinyl in hopes that he won't dislike black music/culture anymore. I usually enjoy useless conversations on this list, but this one has got to end. This guy is obviously an angry white man with a chip on his shoulder, and nothing positive that anyone says about hip hop is going to change his attitude. I kill-filtered that Ron Jeremy clown a long time ago, but still have to read his ass-flake statements through replies from other people, and now the same is going to happen with this clown. Anyone that starts a statement with "I'm not racist or anything..." and then unleashes a torrent of racial stereotypes that would make Jimmy the Greek blush, is not going to become a changed man just because a person with good intentions posted a list of great classic hip hop for him to listen to. I don't have a problem with off-topic threads, but this one is reminding me of a situation I've been in way too many times in my life: being in a room with a bunch of spineless white people, where there is no chance of a black person hearing them, and trying to ignore their ignorant condemnations of a culture they couldn't possibly understand. If nothing else, it just reminds me that in order to receive news and reviews on a kind of music I'm currently into; I have to be a part of a scene/email list that praises the talents of wack white producers that do everything possible to take the soul and blackness out of hip hop, and trying to call it "progressive". and all this on a list that has the audacity to call itself "intelligent". P.S., fuck Anticon, cLOUDDEAD, Pre73, and Dan "the Automator", too, for good measure. Yeah, yeah, I know it's blasphemy.. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
