injex:
i find your use of pretentious vocabulary and phrasing infuriating.
instead of dissing mark and ending your post with 'sucka' (very smooth),
why don't you enlighten us all as to how this is a 'highly complex
musical form' and tell us how the roots of this music has *anything* to
do with dj cam's production techniques.
i happen to enjoy cam's stuff and have been an avid hip hop fan for over
a decade, but would never come off sounding like this.
imho, you just come off sounding like an asshole.
why don't you come out with some education instead of coming out on the
prick tip.
maybe mark can then have something beyond an earnest yet limited
capacity for understanding.
