And it's not like this is the NBA forum. It's not hard to miss the fact that a subforum to discuss miscellaneous topics exists here. Almost every forum has one no matter what the main forum is about.
Some people here know about hip-hop, some don't. Just like some on the main form know what they're talking about.

But aren't you on the Lil B bandwagon?
He's not as bad as everyone makes him out to be, but he's not a genius, intelligent, (insert big word here), ect.

Welcome to the internet, that's how it is.
They'll big up their choice and make yours look like shit.
You'll get way better discussions with other forms of music here, but with Hip-Hop not so much. Too bad other forms of music rarely come into play here on ISH OTC Lounge.

Actually I said I am college educated. And having a degree DOES mean something fool. Does it make me a better person than you? No. Does it mean I know more about rap than you? Not really.
What it does mean is that I have learned the fundamental skills necessary to process and regurgitate information. So if you and your Lil B clan would like to explain to me where his genius lies in clear terms I can comprehend you.
It also means that in the American workforce I can get a higher salary in my field than those without an education.
So, if you'd like to point out the genius of Lil B, I am open to discussion. If you want to cry about others opinions like a bitch then I'll let you be

Lil B spits some real sh*t sometimes, and is very very misunderstood. Doesn't help that he goes full retard quite often. His fans get it though. I think most people just don't like how he raps, his flow, etc.

You need to go to your high school and slap the shit out of every humanities teacher you've had.
I said that I have a college education (I have successfully studied writers and poets ad nauseam), therefore, if you care to explain Lil B's genius I am more than capable of understanding it if not respecting it.
You came in here whining about ISH and the state of hip hop discussion and I asked you to explain. You latched onto the fact that I said I'm educated like you got denied by your local community college and you have a jealous vendetta against educated folk. You keep swinging and missing.
Again, respectfully, I want you to explain the genius in his works....or just admit that you have nothing.

So you have nothing.
I've taken Al Thornton's word on a few acts and I actually found them entertaining....after getting over his base head image I listened to Danny Brown and liked some of his stuff off the strength of his recommendation. Even though I give him shit I respect dude because he sticks to his guns and has a genuine love for rap.
I admit that I don't know everything which is why I ask. You say that the board sucks so bad when it comes to rap but when someone asks you a straigt up question like a man you pussyfoot around it and make bullshit excuses.
You're weak dog. Weak as water as we say in the Chi.

Someone who has studied traditional literature and poetry might have problems with certain contemporary urban stuff....I'm not from the west coast, so maybe I'm missing something. I'm sure I catch more references to the Chicago streets in chief Keef songs than you and your buddies.
