Seriously my dude? You are going to quibble about correct word usage now?

To add to the ridiculousness of your grammar nazi tactics, Gibson himself is arguably the biggest offender in sci-fi in recent memory. The amount of words he has added to the english language is staggering and his prose is so dense it would make eric blair turn in his grave.

Complains about myopic boom-bap dinosaurs, posts Joey Bada$$ songs.

Complains about 4th Chamber being "just plain noise", stans for the music of Tyler, The Creator and A$AP Ferg.

Complains about the term Phila Fag, admits his interest in Earl Sweatshirt waned when Earl stopped rapping about rape and necrophilia.

ChaMerZ is gonna do big, big things in M2C next year because dude brings an air of cluelessness not see since the golden-era of Icesickle, Intellicon, BRING BACK THE TEMPO, and FunkDoctaBombay.

Oh deary me.

His Twitter feed is making me cringe. He was the archetypal 2000s music blogger — articulate and intelligent, but utterly opinionated and totally clueless.

Oh, btw I <3 Midnight Marauders. Surprised by this thread tbh.

:naswtf: are you on about man? If your issues with GZA & William Gibson are "dense prose" then you're missing the point and English is DEFINITELY not your first language.

none of what you said invalidates anything i've said prior. ppl like to harp on tyler's lack of technical skill, but on the production end of things, he holds his own. even tyler's worst beats have more musical merit to them than 4th chamber, which only sounds good when you are tripping on acid.

a$ap ferg has fallen yet again under the shadow of asap rocky. however, he made interesting, catchy music when he reached the apex of his popularity last year.

ofwgkta's popularity ballooned due to the press latching on to the macabre lyrics & trying to create sensational headlines out of them. i fell for the hype. we all did. i am still a fan however. tyler helped me expand my musical horizons.

i don't know what YOU are on about. i am a huge fan of WG. i am merely stating that if gibson had listened or allowed himself to be aggravated by grammar 'police' we would have never been blessed by classics like neuromancer & mona lisa overdrive. he takes A LOT of liberties in his writing.

gza is no doubt lyrical but his voice aggravates me & the beats on liquid swords were too spaced out & weird to sustain my interest. it's just not my thing. deal with it.

Allow me to clarify (as though it'll make any difference): it's one thing to actively create of new words/portmanteaus/whatever in order to add to the palette you use to color in the plot of science fiction novel, and another to write using shitty grammar that necessitates "grammar policing." What are these egregious liberties you refer to?

It's also ridiculous to compare Gibson to Orwell. Apples and oranges.

If the beats aren't your thing on Liquid Swords, then I really don't know what to tell you and will "deal with it" by just stepping away from that conversation entirely. Personally those are some of my favorites beats of all-time from the Wu canon.

Holy shit at the 4th chamber thing, one of the worst opinions I've ever seen on this board. "Musical Merit" might be a late entry into '2014 phrase of the year'.

ChaMerz is from Canada.

It's a quintessentially Canadian opinion that Liquid Swords is "too spaced out and weird" yet there is "musical merit" to be found in Tyler's arrhythmic Dr Dooom karaoke or A$AP Ferg's scorched parrot screeching over lukewarm retreads of regional underground rap circa 1994 - 2004.

No. Actually, 4th Chamber is the best beat of all time. The immediate response you got to the above quote in particular supports that claim. As does fact.

The one thing that can unite :phila: luminaries who genuinely loathe each other is Canadian newjacks with terrible opinionz4u about rap music.
