[BigRedChief]

Welllll you know I posted the thread requesting votes from the Planet so that Stevie can win a contest to go to the Super Bowl and he won it. You should have come to me first. Now you have jinxed yourself. BTW, I didn't even get a stinking SB T-Shirt in thanks.:p No more jaggerbombs for you.:harumph:

I threw you a femur also.

[Phobia]

I'm not a hip hop or rap guy but your stuff wasn't bad at all. It was kinda mellow, relaxed, and enjoyable. In other words, it will never sell. Heh.

But you definitely gots some skillz. ;)

Best of luck.

[boogblaster]

What you need is a swift kick in the pants.

You need to drop that hibbidy hop and come to Jesus, child.

[Fish]

I don't like rap.... but that wasn't bad...

Plinko!

[BigRedChief]

You need to drop that hibbidy hop and come to Jesus, child.
Or find some old John Denver LP's and party down.

[Braincase]

The music scene I follow is more classical based metal, but I threw you a bone... as well as a few local Lawrence acts.

[Micjones]

Thanks again fellas...

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Sorry, the doors are what I like and hip hop is no where close. Also hip hop sends a bad message to our youth cause it condones drugs and violence. But hey at least you're a Chiefs fan, I guess.

Sorry dude, I think rap is awful and offensive - I will not vote in this thing :p

[Micjones]

Thanks anyway. :p

[Simplex3]

I haven't liked any rap for over a decade. I didn't really like yours much either.

I still voted for you. :shrug:

[Redrum_69]

How about I don't know this guy from Adam and I fuggin hate rap; that's not being selfish, it's called being true to one's self, look into that one day.

Well thanks, I wasn't trying to offend you - hence my underhanded pitch when I first declined - but if the dude wants to get all upitty about it, fug 'em. :harumph:

Look, it doesn't mean that I wish you to fail at what you want to do, because I don't - best of luck.

[Simply Red]

and?

I didn't see anything out of line he said. I think you need to calm down with the keep it real shit. What the fugg is wrong with simply being nice? That's all. I've got nothin but respect for you on here.

You're entitled...
Have a good day, okay?

More ignorance. :shake:

The "local" rap artists that was involved in all of that shit was from street gangs and such. He's actually a HIP HOP ARTIST. Totally different ballgame. Notice the no promotion of guns, killing of neighbors and body bags, etc

If you're not going to vote. Don't VOTE! But spreading ignorant banter is an entirely different animal.

Seek first to understand instead of just ass-u-meing.

Chagrin ~ You need to get laid.

[wutamess]

I not to much particularly care for Elvis... but I still voted for Stevie. It's called support for one another.

Everyone is involved in some form of gang..baller or not

[Redrum_69]

I only support those that follow through...everyone else that says they plan on doing something..then not do it...I tend to not support them..

It involved gangsters that rap. Not him.
I've noticed, you sure are quick to judge but hate when someone judges you. :hmmm:

[Redrum_69]

I wont use the name or comment, but theres no reason to be hostile about it

[Micjones]

Wow... Sorry to have started all the trouble.

Theres a story behind everything.

I am NOT quick to judge, you havent even met me to establish that biased opinion, but thanks for letting me know how you feel.

Do you know how many times I tried to have people help me on this board and get shot down, flamed, etc....

Do you think they showed any care or compassion?

Hell no..they were quick to judge me and shown no remorse for their words.

[Micjones]

Which story are we talking about anyway?
The Pitch cover story of a week ago?

Dude... You're judged by the way you entered the board.
That said a lot about you. You're slowly making it right but it's hard to take someone seriously when all they do is flame moms (no pun intended).

I've seen some of your judging/critiquing post on others. No need to meet to form my opinion.

Maybe you're asking the wrong person/people.

WAIT - Think about it... You've asked for help but got shotdown? Isn't that what you're doing at this very moment? How ironic.

Hooked U up.

[Micjones]

No problem Fish...
Hip Hop is the culture that encompasses Rap music.
Rap is the soundtrack to that culture.

Hip Hop's like a strip mall.
Rap's a store in that strip mall.

[Micjones]

Thanks P-Nut2.

[wutamess]

Forgive my lack of knowledge in this....

but... what's the difference between hip hop and rap?

rap=50 cents/gangsta rap... hardly any creativity.
hiphop=roots/enlightenment... artistic/talent involved.

[Rooster]

Got one from me. Good luck.

[Fish]

I think I get it... thanks fellas....

[Micjones]

rap=50 cents/gangsta rap... hardly any creativity.

It's all Rap music WM.
Hip Hop is the culture-at-large.

The distinction you've made is a Rap conservative view.

I don't consider rap hiphop music.
I guess it's all relative.

[KcMizzou]

Done... good stuff.

[Stewie]

You got my vote Mic.

[Mr. Kotter]

Done, MJ.

Good luck. :thumb:

[chagrin]

I not to much particularly care for Elvis... but I still voted for Stevie. It's called support for one another.

This whole idealistic campaign of "just support each other" is hogwash. Talk about "don't be hatin" all I did was express my opinion and you and your rap support crew jumped all over me. I personally don't believe in supporting some stranger who would probably spit on me in a super market if I asked him to support my choice in life by being homeless and beggin for money.



Getting personal about getting laid and shit, well that's just silly.

[chagrin]

I am true to myself. I'm not a fan of Rap either, but I'm supporting someone's dream. If more people did this then the word selfish wouldn't exist.


actually, demanding that we all just love one another and support each other's dreams, regardless if we respect the dream or not Is selfish, furthermore getting all wah about it is ridiculous.

i left this thread because I didn't take it seriously at first but now I can see how ridiculous some of you people really are.

Think about it really, you just go vote for something you don't like, for someone you don't know, for something you don't even belong to (and in my case I mean the hip hop or rap culture)?

Absurd


but I wasn't being personal either, just challenging your definition of selfishness with regards to voting for Reach.

I am not judging he quality of your or his character, but you sure came out calling everyone who wouldn't vote your way, "selfish". I'd say that means maybe you should re-evaluate your definition of things.

[Micjones]

I personally don't believe in supporting some stranger who would probably spit on me in a super market if I asked him to support my choice in life by being homeless and beggin for money.

You don't know me from Adam, but you have some idea of how I might react in a given situation? Mmmkay...

So let me get this straight...
You want people to respect your right to have abstained from the voting process for reasons justifiable in your own mind yet you question why someone else would?

Okay.

I probably shouldn't have used this as mt point of reference, but since your boyz have such a hard time with my decision, I feel the need to defend my choice.

mmmkay?

[chagrin]

So let me get this straight...
You want people to respect your right to have abstained from the voting process for reasons justifiable in your own mind yet you question why someone else would?

actually, I will delete my last post and simply answer your question with this, using your own debating tactic:


So let me get this straight, you want people to vote for you, regardless if they like your music or not, and it should be perfectly fine that your crew take issue with anyone who disagrees with the reasons justifiable in their own mind yet you question why I disagree?

Okay.


Illustrate absurdity by being absurd. Probably Rush's only legitimate point anymore

[chagrin]

Okay, I really do need to settle down, I still think it's lame to demand votes like your friend did, and start lobbing words like selfish around just because people don't agree with him, but I think I am really letting this get to me.

micjones - I say again - I wish you luck in your career, I really do. Let's not let this go any farther, I won't say another word about it and I will not come back to the thread.

[KcMizzou]

I merely asked for support from Planeteers who might think my music is deserving of such an accolade.

This was my one and only point I was trying to make. It's not a voting election for Congress, it's for a fellow planeteer. The outcome has no monetary value for me, except my own gratification for helping a fellow BB member.

This is a community. Whether someone has 500 posts or 50,000 post is irrelevant. It's like moving into a new neighborhood; Some people have been there for 5 months and other people 5 years. If a new guy moves into the neighborhood, befriends everyone and invites his new friends to check out his music, art, movie - whatever, people generally support each other, regardless of how long they've known them. "Hey sure Man! I'll check it out!".

That's the way I see this with Mic or Stevie's deal or anything similar. Either you can choose to be a grumpy bastard about it, completely ignore it or support it. The choice is obviously yours. But judging others for their participation in events like these isn't very cool in my book.

BTW, good luck Mic!

[Phobia]

Dane, would you care to share a professional opinion on Mic's work? I don't like rap at all but his stuff doesn't offend my senses as most rap generally does.... It isn't something I'd go out and purchase but I wouldn't turn the channel as I normally do when my usual stations mix in a rap song.

[chagrin]

This is a community. Whether someone has 500 posts or 50,000 post is irrelevant.

Did I judge micjones because he hasn't been here very long? I know beer me and wouldn't vote for his brother's band either, a rock band, because I thought they stunk. That's the spirit of band competitions, you vote if you like and you do not vote if you don't like.
Good lord, hat's so hard to understand about that?

I have lended him my well wishes, it's too bad for you and everyone else if you don't like it.

It's also perfectly fine if you think poorly of me, I won't argue that I am a grumpy bastard; I certainly tend to be one, heh.

Yeah, you were real nice to the 16 year old kid who tried to participate in a conversation.

Go back, read the timeline of events again, I don't judge anyone for voting for him, I was judged first, and continue to be judged, because I wouldn't vote for him and dared to say I wouldn't.

Anyone else want to cry because I don't like rap music?

[Micjones]

Thanks again to all who voted.

[DaneMcCloud]

Dane, would you care to share a professional opinion on Mic's work? I don't like rap at all but his stuff doesn't offend my senses as most rap generally does.... It isn't something I'd go out and purchase but I wouldn't turn the channel as I normally do when my usual stations mix in a rap song.

While I was an integral part in the signings and re-signings of Irv Gotti, Marcus Aurelius, Fred Jerkins and Eminem, I wasn't involved at all with the A&R of those composers/producers. That was all done by B.P. (I'm sure Mic knows who that is but I don't want to drop his name).

As a former industry vet and someone who's still in the biz (albeit on the other side of the glass now), Rap isn't my area of expertise and I haven't had a chance to even listen to his tracks in my studio, but I'd be happy to share any relevant thoughts with Mic through a PM if he contacts me.

[DaneMcCloud]

Good lord, hat's so hard to understand about that?

Look dude, you were the person that was raggin' on others for voting. There's nothing difficult to understand but there was also no reason to bag on people just because they voted, whether or not they like rap music or even Mic's music.

Yeah, you were real nice to the 16 year old kid who tried to participate in a conversation.

That "16 year old kid" did participate. I didn't realize he was 16 until about 4 or 5 responses later. And what can I say? I'll disagree with someone whether they're 16 or 66 (sorry, Skip). That's the way it works. That "kid" continued to disagree with me after I discovered his age (which became ever more obvious with each post) so I don't see where your opinion has any relevance. Especially when you chose to neg rep me instead of speaking up in the forum. Thanks for finally being a man about it and saying what you have to say to me in the forum instead of the "secrecy" of rep.

Go back, read the timeline of events again, I don't judge anyone for voting for him, I was judged first, and continue to be judged, because I wouldn't vote for him and dared to say I wouldn't.

This whole idealistic campaign of "just support each other" is hogwash. Talk about "don't be hatin" all I did was express my opinion and you and your rap support crew jumped all over me. I personally don't believe in supporting some stranger who would probably spit on me in a super market if I asked him to support my choice in life by being homeless and beggin for money.

You put yourself in the middle of this topic by stating that you hate rap and wouldn't vote for him. Why post anything at all? To draw attention away from Mic and onto yourself? This "drama" could have easily been avoided had you not posted your irrelevant opinion from the beginning. It's not like Mic started a thread saying "Hey Chagrin - please vote for me!". He didn't.

[Fairplay]

After a couple minutes into each song i think to myself "WTF"?

I don't get rap. I don't get country either, so don't take it personal bro.

[Micjones]

It's okay FP. It's not for everybody.

I'm a rapper and I listen primarily to Jazz...
