IMU hates me so he gets my vote. Also Fuck off you smarmy prick

Yeah well at least I don't have to pay to suck, you know what I'm saying?

ok even tho every year i always pop up and point out how i hate these things and i actively cheer on my demise so i'm out of these things ASAP, i just want to point out how hilarious this thing is on the surface because if you wanna get technical, there's no comparison between me and IMU in terms of "our contributions to the board" [and/or any other overall "chicago sports [talk] radio zeitgeist/s"]

1) did you know i once tried my hand at making boers and bernstein dance music? Curious Hair once said that this "probably sounds like one of chris tannehill's nightmares"

2) unlike the guy with the "hot hatch" i actually make original content for this board:





and if i dont make it i sure as hell know how to find it, such as the appropriately named "imu.jpg" on my computer



so is it any wonder that

3) one of the current score afternoon hosts basically hit on me when he first encountered me IRL ?? =P

that said, time to down a couple'a shots of ether to celebrate my leaving this contest post-haste, cuz technically doing this violates one of the cardinal rules i live my life by (think "advertising")

I'm out.

obtuse as i may be, you're a cute acute, mr. " i was up above it.... now i'm down in it" [it = happy hour of course]

oh yeah speaking of shit at rap / failing to hit it big, welp, here's that time i decided to rap as TV's sledge hammer! on top of peter gabriel's "Sledgehammer" --- maybe if i actually spent over an hour or so on the whole endeavor or actually tried to flow it i'd be riding the wave of a niche/meme all the way to your respect?

Sinicalypse, he's delicate, but potent. IMU? I don't know him, but he reminds me quite a bit of a former business associate, Pete Campbell. Pete was not a friend. We had what might be called a complicated relationship. Interesting competition you have here. I don't vote.

you're a good dude, roz, and i hope someday we get to clank beer bottles/mugs cuz you know despite any and all "my legend precedes me" stuff here, man, i am legit housebroken and even tho i'm afraid that i might have [inadvertantly!] done something to piss off one of your wise-men brethern [not nas cuz i know that i always piss him off by talking shit in his fantasy baseball league =] cuz when i msg'd him a cpl times like "hey are you gonna want me to help you with the fantasy baseball draft again this year?" he didnt respond... at all. and i even tried a litmus test "non-draft-related" PM and no reply, so i hope i didnt piss him off cuz he's rolled with me [really vice versa] a couple'a times and we did that northwestern university old baseball films night [with good dolphin AND gary from evanston sightings!] and hell on the walk back to his car from the vaunted mcnuggets contest board outing i managed to pick up *2* phone #s of suitably fine women on that walk back to his car, so yeah you know, as i often like to say-- "i'm not crazy; i just portray that on the internet"

(TLDR = you're cool / i owe you a beer someday [to say thx 4 the board] / i'm housebroken so dont worry about me / i think one of your contemporaries would vouch about those 3 aforementioned things =)

ALSO

you know earlier upthread when i took a minute to just laugh at how there's really no comparison between IMU and me in terms of "quality of posted content on the C/S/FMB" [read: people just like IMU more cuz no IMU post is gonna ever make you think "wow, you know, i could never write like that!" -- i mean in a in a "jealous/haterade" way cuz maybe sometimes ppl read cheerlader-IMU posts where he gets all smug and smarmy talking up some cubs prospect/s and ppl let a sigh of relief out like "i yam what i yam like popeye b4 me but at least, you know, i could never write like that [IMU bullshit] =)

AHEM. yeah one of my big reasons for the whole "anyone with a working brain can see that there's no comparison between me and IMU" raison d'etre (if you will) was because i actually create original content for this board, and in another thread just now i remembered another shoopjob i had forgotten about earlier [otherwise i wouldn't have tossed in the JORR image cuz i'm seriously not calling JORR a sellout or anything, i was just poking fun at his "WINS > ERA" belief and doing a lil playful ball-breaking like "lol nowadays JORR is about having money and doing up a nice life as opposed to clinging on to his ~early 80s/ish punk rock band/ideals to such an extent that he's all about playing opening gigs at the empty bottle on any given tuesday night > doing well in life because "he keeps it real like that"

ARGH i am truly sir talks2much esq / OBE [order of the bullshit empire] huh? so yeah TLDR when i remembered my amattacola nickname of IceMan it was like "oh lol i did that awesome lil shoop where i kinda-subtly worked amattacola's douchey-grinning mug into a promo shot of val kilmer as IceMan-alpha from top gun!



seriously, i know IMU is "one of us" around here and ppl like him for that [especially cuz unlike IMU/darko/others i dont need a contest to tell me i'm a better pure poster than [many other ppl here] --- and just think, law of averages = someone reading this right NOW is finishing up a scoff like "LOL DUDE HE'S THE NORSE GOD OF TLDR/BLOGGING THO! GET OUT OF HERE!" =) but like.... seriously, has IMU ever contributed one [quality] photoshop or legitimately fun-concept to a thread that's outside of his typical "neener neener neener i'm cleverer than you [to make up for my little weener! >=]" MO/schtick/gimmick/raison d'etre (cuz i will =)

TLDR = DISREGARD ME, I SUCK COCKS!!!!!

_________________

you know, one thing i love about being me is that when i hear some standard-fare-hiphop tracks like "i'm dope and you need to know this" (cuz remember, all rapping is = "saying what people wish they could say in a way they never thought of saying it before" -- and most people just wanna say "i'm fricking awesome" like MC Paul Barman b4 them =) it's like, dude, this [UPCOMING] track totally describes me! [read: NOT the paul barman one here] so without further adieu... [drum roll]

Artist: Aceyalone
Song: Serve and Protect

Ah
Yeah
Nobody move, nobody gets hurt

[note: in this 1st verse i sub out the word "rapper" for "poster" =]

When it first hits you
And you figure out the truth it's quite shockin
To see the mic rockin, beat knockin
They throwin [posting] punches but I'm blockin
I hit the open gash and I clock em
Rock em, sock em, my only intention
Is the off-the-ground suspension
With the decision for mid-air collision
Crash! That's my intention
All that means is smash a [poster], bash a [poster], [poster] slash
Remember what happened last time a [poster] flashed to throw flames?
He forgot that hell was hot!
No brains, you just parked your car in Salem's lot ("witcher" being said made me think of salem here)
And Sky-Cam knows who I am (hey CH/JORR you know this probably applies to me too, right? =)
The shots will be aimed at you, helpless lamb

I hold it down (serve and protect)
Blow up the spot (serve and protect)
Take you out (serve and protect)
The mic is mine (serve and protect)
The time is now (serve and protect)
I speak the word (serve and protect)
Close your mouth (serve and protect)
And that's my job (serve and protect)

Statistics say linguistics pay
My mystic display made em insist that I stay (ain't that right bigfan? =)
Huh, I'm on the level where I meditate and levitate
And dedicate every awaken day so I can celebrate
My last drink of water, my last piece of bread (...thanks grandpa! =)
I'm the last bullet in the chamber aimed at your head
Stranger, cause you thought I was better off dead
Not shot out of anger but duty instead
Look, me and you [posters] got one common thread
We both speak the language so you know what I said
The spot on the ground is where I bled
The tracks are my tears from the love that I spread
Grieve no more when you breathe no more
Do you believe in happiness or believe in war?
Speak no more, talk no more
I open up my poetry when I walk through the door

[babbler's note: this last verse TOTALLY describes my relationship with the C/S/FMB, so i subbed out "beats" for "board"]

Better calm your nerves before you get served
For sure I give you what you deserve
And then some, I win some, I win some
I win some, I win some, I hold em for ransom
Has nothin to do with bein handsome
When I enhance em
I dance em around like a marionette
Pup-pet, then string em along like a pet
Poodle, walk the dog but get stopped in your tracks
Shake the ground and you drop to your back
The uncontrollable urge for me and the [board] to merge
Sends a surge of shockwaves through my words
And you are my target
I got a infinite amount of ammunition just to spark it
In the end all you heard was a scream
Diggin as dug in the concrete, a disappearing dream
And don't tell me how it seems

To hold it down (to serve and protect)
To blow up the spot (to serve and protect)
To take you out (to serve and protect)
The mic is mine (to serve and protect)
The time is now (to serve and protect)
I speak the word (to serve and protect)
Close your mouth (to serve and protect)
That's my job (to serve and protect)
With respect

Please don't include me next year;. I honestly don't wanna be in these things cuz they're just a stupid #YentaStrong circlejerking-popularity contest where we're reminded by a famous quote from my guy squarepusher...

squarepusher (speaking of himself and drum-n-bass DJs+Producers respectively) wrote:

There are people who innovate and there are people who form groups...

Obviously you know who is who here. I also know that I'm not doing myself any favors by utterly steamrolling IMU in this thread (even tho you can picture b-rick giggling to himself when he made sure my [one and only] rd1 matchup was against someone as obtusely "lol I am teh graet C/S/FMB troll guise!!!" as IMU (aka someone who will osyensibly talk all the shit they can on the board, but then when I go on to do great/er things in the future IMU goes to his RTS meetup buddies "man I sure did a good job of pissing off sini to get him wound up enough to crank out some great absolutely mental rants, huh? I was always real good at baiting excellence out of him!" [Again this only happens when I have a critically acclaimed mixtape or tannehill plays a beat or mine as a b&g bumper or something "official" to where "it's OK to like sini now guys!"

Cuz yeah u know the first time I met IMU IRL it went down nothing like I was lead to believe, although that could just be a side-effect of a complex Napoleonic condition =P

Also finally, I really do myself no favors for the ppl who technically already know I'm right when I say "lol there's no comparison between me and e-moo in terms of actual posting/contributions to the board" cuz like, are ppl who know I'm awesome supposed to go around publicly blowing me every chance they can get? Seriously that's Darko/sleeps/leash/etc country, aka circlejerkville USA cuz vanilla dudes like them need that ostentatiously omnipresent reminder that "the group wuvs you guys!" cuz you know.... Shit if I lived out in bumblefuck with fuckall to do other than doing the posting-on-C/S/FMB equivalent of try to figure out what "I post, therefore I exist" is in latin... You know, I'd seriously hope to find respite in others showing to validate my acceptance thru sheer and utter conformity to the passing assembly line of contemporary C/S/FMB vernacular lexicon/s... Especially when captain shithead the supremely [something between lame and awesome] boy Wonder is on another quest to make as many people here shout out WE KNOW DUDE!!!!! without actually typing it out!

Plus, hey, can you imagine how much of a pompous arrogant mirrorfucker sini would be if he was actually able to like himself? Let's keep him humble b4 he goes Hollywood on us and we lose "a board/bored asset" #PagingTallMidget! We need to bring in our "secret weapon" who brandishes the godlike power to use the word "fastidious" in the proper context!!!? Only He can dare have a go at boy Wonder (even tho all he does is basically say "NO U!" over and over again while masturbating with a Shostak level F vocabulary workbook, shit dude, did you miss the part about fastidious dude? #SomeonesGottaTry

As for me? I just kinda see it like



And since I know everyone's gonna vote for IMU cuz like, seriously, all-around quality guy to have a beer with.... Especially when a perfunctory glance at his corporeal form makes you feel better about yourself! =P
