  “See, their song goes ‘ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding/ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding’, and mine goes ‘ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding/DING-ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding’. It’s totally different.”

      Are they working alone, or do you envision groups who can stop, collaborate, and listen?

  Basically every rap pre-Wu Tang was like “well my name is jim and i’m here to say, i don’t support anyone who’s gay!” Exceptions are EPMD and Eric B and Rakim.

  Probably realized his mistake

  source
• some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  “Bloodhound Gang and Rob van Winkle: Together on this track.”

  He genuinely could flow. He just was too caught up in trying to market himself (his rap / metal fusion album was a good example of lyrics trying to package a look).
