My point with him is that I think he's putting on an act. an act, I might add, I'm not mad at. Whether or not he's paying homage to that texas shit you're talking about really doesn't play into it. I think, at the end of the day, dude can talk like a normal human being and is hyper aware of what he's doing. There is an element of "wink wink" to all this. Why? cause I've seen him talk like a normal person on youtube clips (clips that have been removed from youtube for some mysterious reason).christian from austin wrote:blastmaster was right on, riff raff didnt invent that steelo. not even close. no one outside of texas has ever seen it though apparently
he is typical turn of the century texas street culture packaged and sold to hipsters
ebro wouldnt have been so offended by that freestyle if he had ever listened to one single screw tape where someone who has never freestyled before gets on the mic and freestyles for 5 minutes. ebro has never heard a screw tape which leaves him unqualified to accurately ascertain just what riff raff is up to. same thing with blockhead. block doesnt know what the fuck he is talking about either. no one from new york has heard riff raff's source material for his inspiration
motherfuckers act like riff raff being outlandish is so fuckin audacious. dude look at slick ricks neck. dude look at camron wearing pink furs
its the same shit
that wigger threw a BET tattoo on himself. thats fuckin tight as fuck
thats like chopping a hardtop and replacing it with a convertible top on a 1994 lexus sc400
these are gangstas talking about playing turbografix 16 and watching cartoons on tvs in their car. circ. 1998
I don't doubt for a second he's inspired by all the things you guys are talking about...and he's certainly committed to the role but if you think he's 100% serious,you're a fucking retard.
Honestly, I think both sides of this discussion are giving him too much credit. He's not a retro genius. He's not a hip hop Andy Kaufman. He's somewhere in the middle of that and he's just a dude having fun. He's also lucky the internet exists, but aren't we all.
