god you're annoying, and possibly far more condescending than myself even. is this how you react when people bash the grateful dead irl - i.e - take them on a roundtrip through your clairvoyance toward the band and play victim to your taste being 'awful'?

i don't have anything against you dude

i just think it's unnecessary responding to stuff in this thread in particular. imagine freth responding to every kiss diss or me responding to all the general 'electronic music sucks' posts in this thread in length. it's a fun thread and we've both taken it a bit too seriously i reckon. as we music nerds to.

peace

SanTropez you're too nice to this guy.

Unless you're a sociopath or something (and even then...), everyone has their good intentions causing their actions. No reason to be an unregulated asshole to someone. Civil discourse and reasoning should always be the desired course of action, with compromise, at a minimum, the desired end state. We appear to have reached it.

I'm satisfied.

Nobody here respects civil discourse, be an asshole instead. It helps.

I never used to like it that much - something about the punchy MPC feel to it, but one day it just clicked as one of the most badass tracks I've heard. Have you heard the second version, on The Blueprint II? I remember reading that Just Blaze said it was how he would have made the beat had he more time (on a Complex feature going through all his best beats) but I'm not convinced it's any better than the original.
