MeFi post: ...if waterboarding does not constitute torture, then there is no such thing as torture.
Does it make me a neocon that I support the use of waterboarding on Christopher Hitchens?

MeFi post: The New Yorker: The Gerbil's Revenge
What if you just.. you know.. like it? What if it just happens to tickle your ears in a way that makes you smile? The same way that listening to Zapp & Roger does? A bunch of intellectuals pedanting from towers against ear sugar is what this sounds like.. I say stop hatin and start dancin.

MeFi post: Crank That Honor Roll
Not the first by any means at all, I remember doing the 50 State Rap for a second grade "play", solo. Born MC, right here.

MeFi post: Script-Doctorin' the TARDIS
Yay! Doctor Who thread! My hip hop monstrosity in the green is inspired by and samples Baker era Doctor Who. I love every last moment of RTD's vision of The Doctor. It's safe to say that my two biggest obsessions in life right now are Doctor Who and Hip Hop. I've wanted to make a massive, narrative MeFi post about Doctor Who, but it's been covered so much in the past I'm afraid it would be considered noise.

Moffat is a true fan, an amazing writer, has respect for the... [more]

MeFi post: The Is The Life: the most important period of hip hop you never knew existed (NSFW audio throughout)
Thanks, this post was actually the very reason I joined MeFi.. I've been waiting to post it forever, collecting links, etc..

Ugh.. wish I could edit this, even after extensive re-reading to make sure I it looked good I missed several grammatical errors and forgot to include a whole section linking to an interview with This Is The Life director Ava Duvernay

Apparently I broke self linking rules with some MUX'ing in the OP.. but to anyone interested I have MUX'd songs/artists mentioned here pointed to in my profile.

I'd love to hear the opinions of people hearing this music for the first time, particularly if you are/were unfamiliar with hip hop in any specific sense before this post. I am genuinely curious, please, report!

Also, I remind everyone of my Mux, the link to which you can find in my profile.. which is designed around the artists I speak about here.

Very dense, lyrical and allusive rhymes.

Yes, amazingly so when you really dissect them metaphorically. But it take a while for the uninformed to get accustomed to the form of verse and rhyme structure which is chaotic at best.

Takes a while.. takes a while..

Le sigh, I hate feeling so old at 27..

MeFi post: "The Definitive British Space Opera... i.e. Bloody Miserable"
I saw Charlie Brooker reviewing one of the David Tenant seasons on Screenwipe, and a whole list of his issues with it added up to prove to me it wasn't worth my even trying to watch it.

At least you admit to damning something before giving it a proper chance, don't bother with watching or seeing for yourself or anything because of the self fulfilling prophecy you've set up for yourself.

MeFi post: Jes' some old tunes, is all...
Buell's version of The Butchers Boy was what convinced me to pick up the banjo.

Simply breathtaking.

MeFi post: Folks, let's have a big hand, and a little hand, on the twelve.
I was hoping for a different Midnight Rider.

MeFi post: Turning writing into a conversation
The author promotes the idea that if everybody disagreed in such an ordered fashion then the world would be a better place.

For some reason this makes me want to give him a wedgie and punch him in the arm.
