lol
And don't forget I'm the dude that was overly enthusiastic about Jurassic 5 in my early years on the Strut. Also, that Rjd2 show was one of the most memorable live performances I've seen (this still holds true, cuz he really was dope).

"But I said 'IMO'!?!?"
To Franklin Rauxevillz : I unhumbly submit that the internet is a science,
while your "streets" are merely a passing sham resembling religion.
And I thought you were a man of reason.

Dog, if you go to Stonesthrow.com's messageboard this is the norm and perhaps even tame.

Stonesthrow's message boards = exactly what's wrong with the internet
PBW seems like somebody that would be pretty cool on a personal level. I wonder if, in his private moments, he's at all embarassed over the monster that he has created...

I've wondered the same thing. He's probally is a little bit, but I'm pretty sure he quickly shakes that right off when he realizes he's making a living by running a successfull record label supported by "those types". Probally one of the VERY few succesfull indie rap labels.
but yeah dog, only stonesthrow dudes are the ones that have corn-ball fans (SARCASM). I think the only artists that don't have at least some ammount of dorky fans and the ones that don't have any at all. Shit, having nerds and white folks is like a measuring stick for success (IMO)
This post represents exactly what's wrong with the internet. oh cmon at least its a good album
fishscale acclaim is whats wrong w/ the internet
C'mon, deej. Yes, Ghost gets jocked disproportionately by bloggers and this album--which doesn't really stand out from the rest of his catalog--did receive suspicious acclaim online.
But, at the end of the day, the dude is still one of the alltime greats who now has a very limited audience in the real world, despite the fact that hasn't slipped creatively--I can't be mad that certain people in certain corners of the internet are jocking him.
See to me charizma-praise is less annoying cuz for all the fringe dudes who are like 'this obscure cali rapper who never even released an album til 10 years after he died = GOAT!' aren't exactly having much of an impact beyond their little sheltered message board, so its really hard for me to be mad at that. Whereas this kind of Ghostface jocking is kind of annoying just because its really widespread, and 1/2 of it is people who don't listen to rap and the other half is people who are like 'if ghostface shits it i will eat it' willing to take whatever he does because he's like, a genius. Which he is!!! Supreme Clientele, even Pretty Toney and those hidden darts mixtapes, ironman, whatever. But to me Fishscale was like 'hit all the critical buttons,' pete rock beat for the throwback heads, j dilla beat for the underground kids, mf doom beat for the crossover indie dudes, cartoonish track with Raekwon about crack for the OB4CL fans, throw a lazy verse about being underwater and presto, classic record. People finally started to come around when More Fish dropped, but I was already burned once.
Not saying there isn't some redeeming shit in there - "Back Like That," I think, was a good single. It just seemed like every track was either a rehash or a cynical contrivence for some of that gnarls barkley money.
i know this isnt a popular opinion but uh don't take it personally, gfk fans.

Of course, as we all already know...
faux = one of those "fringe dudes" whose capacity for actually liking rap music holds no more than maybe 4 current and positively overground artists at any given time.
