The vast majority of the artists mentioned had 2, 3, or 4 songs on their albums that were better than 80% of the fucking super-rare recorded in a basement in Brooklyn, rereleased in Japan $600 vinyl singles that get jocked here by Belgian lads who can name every member of Sunz of Man's social security number but have never heard a Big Daddy Kane album.
I often get that feeling myself that theres lot of 'heads' who run around after all this super rare and obscure stuff, most of which - i'll be honest - I've never heard of (and I've been listening since the late 80s) yet they dont own basic essentials like PE, EPMD, LL etc.

well I'm sorry to say so but ghost is telling the truth! I visit phila from time to time and often find dudes postin (copying) my blog-posts in there. them is even such assholes makin fun of my work (as I usually leave a message that peeps should leave some feedback and those fuckers copy that in the forum and comment it with a big "haha")....
Jaz - be honest: Phila guys are mostly leecherz that don't possess any freakin record...all they have is virtual sound-archives they copied from all over the net and then spread it like it was their own shit!

No, that is just a gross generalization ral, if I ever take anything from your blog I give you a credit and props and I know others do as well, the core of the T.R.O.Y. set are avid vinyl collectors and have big collections, sure we get the leechers and the virtual sound-archivers, but so what, so does every forum.
Ral, everyone takes posts from everyone, that's just the internet, shit Dante Ross took my whole Brand Nubian piece and didn't give me credit for it, I was surprised but also grateful that he liked the post so much that he wanted the whole thing on his blog.
You can't base your view of something, just by a view rotten apples that spoil the whole bunch.
I been rocking vinyl since 19 eighty motha fuckin' Six. I've had a few major losses throughout the years that would have retired them fags from the whole game. Still diggin'. Jealosy is a bitch, innit?Just a slight exaggeration. I got my first piece of vinyl in '86. I didn't really start diggin' until maybe '94. But in between those years, I was a tape fiend. And why the fuck am I defending my diggin' habits, anyway?Verge wrote:I been rocking vinyl since 19 eighty motha fuckin' Six.
Yaaaa you took my sign from VA - nice one isn`t it? heheh actually i`m right about my sign :)Lyrical Gymnastics wrote:Vinyl`s will contributing war in the "Rich World"
JAZ: I'm fully aware that such files are copied, posted , copied...anywhere in the net. I think I wrote this message on VA not cuz I wanted to go on a holy war against all peepz who ever might have used my rips (if so I guess I'd have to start in youtube first anyway...). when i decided to run my blog I knew that ish like dat's gonna happen. of course I get pissed when I realize that feedback in my blog is lil compared to where my ish is later on posted over all by exactly such leachers but you're rite mang, if I don't wanna support this anymore then I could simply close dat blog...Jaz wrote:ral278

you can find those rare mp3s that nobody else has and I feel we're much more willing to share actual music here for the sake of it.
But again.. in the blogosphere much of it never even has a physical counterpart....they simply are the Trekkies of the hip hop world.Ho1ogramz wrote:^ Do you think these cats enjoy music any less? I tend to think they care for music more than some people who only leech mp3s because they actually go out and dig for them and pay for them (big difference in price value between an OG pressing and boot, etchings can be critical - i.e. the Cenubites EP). It took me 2 years to find a copy of this record but I finally did 2 months ago, after relentlessly searching and negotiating... Sure I had it on mp3 (most of it) but it's the thrill of the chase I guess... having it in your hands and owning it. It can also be a source of addiction. haha

I'm a Trekker.
BTW What's you're paypal account ?
what you're describing is appreciation of owning a piece of plastic, not appreciation of a song that's actually etched on that piece of plastic. the two concepts are in no way mutually exclusive, but the distinction is very significant. VA seems to be oriented towards the former, this forum focuses on the latter. you might disagree, but I feel that in terms of proliferation of this genre of music and promoting awareness of obscure artists, the latter is far more important.Ho1ogramz wrote:^ Do you think these cats enjoy music any less?
