tell him to stop jocking style wars, like he had anything to do with it.

very good. i am enjoying the new atmosphere also.
- bug0
k...i'll let him know.
- bug0
yeah, whats up with atmosphere? is that hip-hop?
i'm listening to the neu e. badu...

atmosphere is slug on the mic and ant on the beats. very good. i miss their old stuff but this new album is growing on me very quickly.

kpl...i think its more like...ah, ya know...homage.
this is done often ya know?
- bug0
nice, i'll have to check it out...

atmosphere used to have the chillest shows. now since there last one its been overcrowded with jockish dudes.
- kpl0
fine line between homage and appropriation.
They spliced aesop into those scenes like was a part of style wars. Whatever dude. If you want homage, then stick some of those kids, as they are today, into your video.

I dont even give a shit about none of that, he is one of the most original mc's I have ever heard.

backpackers who feel their are more hip-hop than thou irritate me. and I'm seeing that in aesop.

the days of more personal chill shows with the atmosphere are long gone. one of the ill effects of their continued success.
i am seeing him, mr dibbs, and the hiero crew on saturday night. gonna be packed but should be good

I've got "every" atmoshere album online in mp3 format. If your interested drop me a line... perhaps we can trade up. Cheers!

yeah bro... what are you the hip hop sherif or something... def jux has done more for hip hop in the past few years than anything i can remember since the early nineties new school era.
if they wanna have a little fun making their videos i think they're probably the most qualified to do it.
-pioneers of independant hip-hop- i think thats pretty comparable to what people like richie "crazy legs" colone, doze green, dez and all the originals did. ya know?
- whiteSneaks0
what do you think of atmosphere and sage francis signing on a punk label? Epitaph is embracing the hip hop movement. i am hoping for the best.
- whiteSneaks0
i really dont think the guys at def jux can be accused of being unoriginal. if anything i think they go a little to far sometimes. more pwer to them.

i don't see that in aesop. once someone wants to commend style wars and all that, they are criticized negatively. what is with all the hatin? backpack finger pointers - what makes you think that you know what is more hiphop than this or that. you don't know aesop or his peoples, do you?
- whiteSneaks0
what is meant exactly by "backpacker" i have vague idea for myself but was wondering what others mean by it.

I only listen to the Party Fun Action Committee
