hey tall midget, years ago i realized that i loved electronic music and i wanted to spend my life making electronic music.... the problem was in terms of $$$ (which i'm sure you and all of don tiny's "good upstanding people" would use as an inexorable measure of your overall superiority to me) that you'd have to spend like $5000-20k on a studio, and then after that investment you gotta learn how to use all that stuff.... and then at the end of the day since you're an aphex twin jockrider (tho i prefer "acolyte" =) you're not gonna make any sort of $eriou$ money out of the deal.
Blah, blah, blah. Do you have a point? Is this writing an example of the stylistic innovation you claim to have brought to the internet? 'Cuz it sounds like a lot of drivel to me.

then i stopped and thought about rapping.... see, the only instrument i need is my voice (and that costs $0) and then all i'd have to do is lose a fair amount of weight and try really hard.... and then i'd have a pretty decent rigged lottery ticket because white rapping is still such a niche that like, you know, going for "GOAT white rapper" isn't that big of a deal. i mean, after eminem how many great white rappers are out there? slug from atmosphere used to be one (god loves ugly = cutoff tho), sage francis? el-p? there's plenty of room if i wanna go that route.
So you weren't motivated by a creative instinct or love of art, then. Rather, you simply chose to be a "white rapper" because you think it will pay off for you? In other words, you subscribe to exactly the same set of conventional and materialistic values that you criticize so many others for having--without knowing anything about them, mind you. Aside from being unoriginal and shallow, you are also apparently a hypocrite.

so right away i started out making
tracks that went for it, you know, as hardcore 100% rap nerd as i could go. this track here kind of got me the respect of the greatest rapper to ever walk the earth and then from there, fully cognizant of the fact that my style/delivery sucked [however if i ever got into a studio with a competent producer/engineer i could easily learn how record "real" verses and raps] i branched out and started doing
stuff like this which leaned more towards the intellectual/backpacker side of the rap spectrum, but i always knew i could
go visceral and crank out sit like this --- and again, all i have to do is lose some weight and try really hard and i could do that for a living. i could shit out articles/columns/podcasts/dj-mixes/whatever.... i just never cared about it. someday i will, but not right now.
I don't claim to be a rap aficionado, but none of this struck me as particularly good. And again, you posture as some kind of subversive while vehemently embracing a conventional value system that's also distinguished by a lot of misogyny and homophobia. As a rapper, your style is
played out. But, hey, you can still probably get a job working for Steve Bannon.

yes i know my style sucks. yes i know the fidelity is low, but i say some shit.
So you don't have the voice, gravitas, or delivery to be a great rapper, but somehow you're confident that you can be a great rapper? OK. Do you know how dumb you sound? I guess your verses are good for someone just starting out. In the rap world, that probably makes you the equivalent of the bagger who wins the "employee of the week" award at the local Jewel.
Quote:
and in terms of "saying some shit" i reckon that's why you've got such an e-hardon for me despite the fact i dont even know you: you're bitter and jealous that you're so much better than me yet despite all of that i still remain closer to having a legit chance to realize my hopes-n-dreams in life (none of that wife-n-kids bullshit, i mean the real shit like growing up to be an astronaut, race car driver, or rapper) because without even so much as a modicum of effort i am what you've worked your whole life to be: a tall midget.
Are you really this deluded? Why would anyone be jealous of someone who is convinced of his own greatness but has accomplished nothing and--by his own admission--aspires to accomplish nothing?

Have you actually met people who are talented and successful, especially artists? They figuratively--and sometimes literally--kill themselves to articulate their visions of the world. The fact that you think otherwise suggests your arrogance is matched only by your ignorance. Or maybe you're just afraid to "try really hard" because you know in your heart of hearts that you'll fail, and your delusions of grandeur will finally and irrevocably be deflated. Either way, you're to be pitied, not envied.
