I understand that you thought it was "deep", and were heartbroken when Jack didn't even get the big deal about it.

"So many layers man. People are talking about the graphic violence n' stuff. Like, some like it, and some don't. So many layers, man...so deep..."

Pretty sure we came to an agreement like adults.

You shouldn't presume to think for Jack or I.

So soory.

So deep....happy black people getting shot to the tune of "this is America"...so very, very deep...so profound...words just can't describe the genius at work here...

I haven't pondered such a deep philosophical message since a wise puppet once proposed the question in music video format: "Drugs, drugs, drugs, which are good, which are bad?"

Dude that snapchat premium whoring is going to save them big time now that you can't whore on craigslist anymore.

I was asking around. Somebody was saying they like it for art/drawing. I am not young and hip enough to know if this is young and hip. I think it is. They could get bought out too.

(Reuters) - Snapchat-owner Snap Inc (SNAP.N) said Tim Stone, an Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) veteran who had led the integration of Whole Foods acquisition, would replace Andrew Vollero as chief financial officer.

^^breaking news. I like the sound of it. Fuckin Cramer. He dismissed Snap tonight and sure enough it went down a few cents. lol. Minuscule influence but influence nonetheless.

Facebook has got into dating now. It fucking killed Match.com. Which is actually a parent company that owns Match, POF, OK Cupid, and others. The stock was doing really well until FB got in the game.

You already tried to say this and it doesn't make you less of a dick to say it twice.

We don't care what you think obviously.

So I'm a dick, because I find the "message" juvenile and simplistic?

Yeah, you mad. LOL.

You wouldn't understand anyway you're Canadian.

Have you ever tasted The Great North Mr Poster?

No you just seem like one of those bitter cunts that doesn't like anything, so what's the point?

 

[Rational Poster]

Have you ever tasted The Great North Mr Poster?

Yeah. It's alright as a tourist if you avoid the French part.

One does not merely taste the transcendent celestial being of the Great North. One must engulf themselves in the cold flames of the polar bear, to truly experience the bitter touch of the Northwestern Eskimo beetle of the soul. Only then, may the spiky fins of the ice capped moonbeam be truly devoured.

You see this Mr @Rational Poster... This is what it is to taste The Great North. I will show you a whole new world when you come up here next time. Do not worry I will know when you cross border...

"You don't like the video I posted. You hate everything!"

You sound like a typical millennial pseudo intellectual, who gets mad when people point out the plot holes of "Donnie Darko".

 

[Jesus H. Sherdog]

Yeah. It's alright as a tourist if you avoid the French part.

What? The French part is the best for touristing. That’s where the Jewish delis are. And the best nightlife.

The casinos and stuff are cool but the French are still assholes.

When I first saw this, I was truly taken aback. Like most any art, it's hard to say how much is detailed symbolism and pointed messaging, and how much is just exhibitionist flab, but the combination of praise gospel and depictions of discernibly poor, but also warm and loving, black community set alongside and interwoven with arbitrary brutality, and with desperation and chaos lingering just under the surface or on the periphery, captures an angle on black America that is singularly profound for a music video.

That wasn't articulate at all, but you take my meaning.

This is the kind of poetry the masses want to taste from you Mr Trotsky. Saturate our moist orifices with the juices of your luminescent cortex.

I wish this was just a little more developed, artistically. It's a fantastic idea with good sounds and images. But it's a rough draft of what it should be.

Isn't a lot of hip-hop a rough draft of other music?

- The beats and rhythms are usually scaled down or lifted directly from Funk.

I think it was James Brown who said, "They only know a few of the lessons."

- The lyricism mimics C-grade poetry, and the themes are often puerile. Say Eminem's 200 degrees of anger, or Tupac's musings. To be fair, I like Tupac's poem "The Rose that Grew from Concrete," although it is simple and terse, I think he had good wishes for the world at that time.

- Experimentation is rare and is usually derivative, although there are some good/edgy hip/hop artists out there, but they are few.

This is partly a critique of modern music, however, hop-hop is often selling a dancable beat, low-grade bawdy notions, or a faux street mentality that is fair to describe as thuggish.

To be totally fair, metal is often also selling a "tough" mentality, and a lot of music is tied up in identity. From feel good folk to electronica a lot of people require a certain mentality to join the music, and a certain music to fit the mentality.


Most modern pop is a derivative of the driving disco rhythms, scaled down, matched with simple melodies and harmonies that are polished to take off any hard edges, and matched with beautiful or rugged singers who either swoon or growl through an auto-tuner about vapid party lifestyles, missing one's ex soooo much, or taking in the excesses of "tonight".

It is purely a product often selling the lowest of emotions, musical arrangements, and ideas in order to get "stuck in your head" and promote the opposite of real feeling or thought.

When I hear it, to be honest, I hear fear and desperation, an escape from seeing anything through the vaporous shadows.

Let's make the most of tonight like we're going to die young...

I'll be there for you in your darkest hour...

We can be immortal...

There's a light in my window (Save me...)

I want the time of my life...

Hmm, so many Existentialist cries for help from the common man. Fascinating.

The French are more tolerant of bad behavior in my experiences. I got thrown out of bars in Ontario left and right. In Montreal, they would still serve me with my head on the bar passed out. lol.

Canada is a blast. Lower drinking age. We acted like the typical American douchebags. Skipped out on a cab fare. Running through the city away from the cabbie who is yelling at us, "Fuckin Americans! Typical!"

Snap is up nice today. Was up 4% now about 2%.
