Higher Learning Podcast 5 (Olympic Edition): Tonight at 9PM

[Serious]

?

This won't end well.....

Alright we only got a couple days. Sunday@9pm. I think we have a pretty good outline of topics. Now who's gonna participate? Are we gonna have the same 3 or 4 people again? Any new blood?

What topics Vic?

What topics Vic?

LeyeT proposed topics and I co-signed them...plus I think you guys proposed a couple of more on the ill-fated last Sunday podcast that never happened.

As a general outline, I would propose...

-Economics discussion about how we got where we are and where we're going and what should we do.

-Hip-hop and its cultural and sociological relevance...what effect it is having or not having on the youth.

-What is God/how do we feel about religion at a very basic level.

People can add on to that, but I think those topics are weighty enough to probably fill up a show.

That sounds nice

They are and take this from a NY hip hop head Jay is basura.


Dude hasn't released and album worth listening to start to stop since Vol. 2.

No, they don't. Every time you guys say something like this I get ready to type up long replies and then leave it alone. Jay-Z has a more diverse fan base than any rapper aside from Kanye.

The fact that people like VVD thought that Jay's 3 Kings verse was wack demonstrates to me that there's really no point in us even having a discussion. It would be 1 hour of me arguing against your collective ears for music and substance and effect vs. what MOST people actually hear which is directly contrary to what you guys say. I don't know how else to say this because I don't want to go down that route, so I'll say this: My circle - college-educated or greater (and I don't mean BS schools), have careers, real people, love Jay-Z and love Nas. No one rocks with Waka. Stop it.

Most young professionals or young people with any semblance of sense identify with Jay-Z. You guys talk like you don't know any people in their young 20s that are doing shyt with their lives or walk around in a circle of 3 people. You all have a very narrow view of Hip Hop, your tastes never evolved and that's on you (and you don't realize it).

I still don't have a mic or I'd hop in just for that Hip Hop's effect on the youth discussion. It's impact is often over and understated.

But that's the thing Bar None, not everyone is not as sheepish as you. Some people actually listen to music for the effect that they individually get out of it as a listener, not what other people do. Your argument is Jay-Z is best because people think he is the best which not only is the same reasoning by which a 12 year old white girl calls Britney Spears the best but is also a logical fallacy by definition.

And Jay-Z's verse on 3 Kings is pure

 

[zerozero]

and you hang all that on that 3 kings verse?

anyway back to the podcast issue.. i'll probably be there... I think we can merge any relevant topics from last week's plan with new topics and get at least an hour's worth

Lol...what an example to choose. "I got mirrors in all my rooms, nikkas couldn't fukk with my daughter's room."

Top-notch lyricism on display there.

I feel the same when i have tell these how joe budden shyts on 99% of the music industry


Example: listen to this one song and tell me it's not fire, and filled with intellectual lyricism...

Joe Budden ft. Emanny - "Short Summer" (Extended Version + Lyrics) - YouTube

Did the Slaughterhouse album drop? I used to be Joey's one man street team in high school. I'm genuinely happy for the dude...Royce too. Going to Michigan for undergrad my roommate put me onto Royce.


BTW, Life is Good is crack. I just sat down and listened to the whole thing. This is the guy I remember. Nasir.

Not to get offtopic about that whole Nas debate again. But I'll put it like this, there are many GOAT contenders and I can argue for different guys. But when it comes to pure spitting Nas at his best may be a level that no one else has ever reached. There are those moments when Nas spits some shyt and you wonder who else could've spit that.

Nice use of smilies lol. You're looking at discussions crossing the lines of multiple past threads lol. I was just responding to the insinuation that Waka Flocka and Hov have the same fan base.

So are the topics VVD listed what you guys are rolling with so that I can edit the OG post? I'll check back in around an hour or so. I already got way off track today with the Olympics.

Bar None was a bit bothered by the love was getting on the podcast, so he went to The Booth to try and recruit stans for the podcast.

It was a Jay-Z thread and I was responding while trying to get a more diverse group of participants for YOUR podcast low key. It's well established that I have never listened to any of the hip hop discussions on the podcast. Not one. I only know about the rampant Nas stannery because of your comments in the thread and in other posts.

Stop.
