1. Please stop writing about yourself in the third person. It's fucking retarded.DoogieHowitzer wrote: Is that meant as a diss?
Cuz you missed the line where he says "I rap for laughs," which is primarily where Burg's mind is at... Whenever he performs for a new audience, smiles always starting popping up on faces. He's a punchline emcee concerned with keeping things fun and humourous. And, in my opinion, he does so with skills and energy.
Still, I understand he won't be everyone's cup of tea... I just thought I'd present him to this board and see if maybe some people might actually find the music appealing... After all, that's all you can really do. And whether you like him or not, I appreciate everyone who at least gave him a chance by listening to a song or two...
2. I prolly listened to that Shad album more than any album in the last year. It's a great fucking album. That said, the Canadians in this thread are acting like idiots. If you pay a little closer attention people aren't hating on Canada because it's Canada, they're hating because you prop up some really horrible, awful shit. I fucking hate k-os, but I can understand why some people may like him. Kardinal is - let's be honest - pretty fucking boring, but I get why some people like him. People are shitting on you right now because you're trying to prop up cheap internet jokes like Epic Fail and Turdburglar. I couldn't care less that they're both white or both Canadian, but citing them as examples of why people are nationalistic or racist is just fucking infuriating because as artists they are horrid. Some of you Canadians, by extension through these huge missteps in ability to judge the pure sonic qualities of the barely-even-music released by these assclowns, are getting shit on also because you've invalidated your arguments through a massive failure in taste. Nobody has ever shit on Shad for being Canadian. Nobody has ever shit on Brother Ali for being white. You guys just happen to cosign on shit that sounds like a bunch of middle school kids entertaining each other by making joke songs that are intentionally as bad as possible. I don't think Mindbender and his music being your chief representative here helps that much either.
