I've noticed I'm way more likely to use rap slang when talking about other types of music than rap, mainly because I really like rap, but I don't feel like I, uh, y'know, whatever...I don't want to look lame when I'm talking about rap, because rap is cooler than indie rock. indie rock it's okay to be a geek.

Indie Fans Who Would Otherwise Write In Their Regular Speech Using Negro Talk...
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa...thread poster will have to define, in detail, what they mean by "Negro Talk".
Is the thread poster implying that all "Negroes" talk the same?

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Friday, 14 November 2003 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

wiggaz - classic or dud

accusing people of being wiggaz - classic or dud

How can you tell, jess? ip search brings up 5 different posters

terrible thread title

― Vic (Vic), Friday, 14 November 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

only three "different" posters, pash, and i have my suspicions that at least one of those "different" posters is the same. even still, the two main offenders are guilty, guilty, guilty!

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 November 2003 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

"Negro-talk" = "speaks like W.E.B. DuBois"

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 14 November 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i just think the whole thread is suspect becaue i guess if you put on an act 24/7 then it's acceptable...just like pop music!

People should copy me. I invented dance music I did. That's why the only work I can get nowadays is as a talking head on TV clip shows on at 3 in the morning.

despite what blount may think in his noble-savage mode, picking apart the peccadillos of tupac lyrics DOES NOT make you "realer" than anyone else on ilm

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 November 2003 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

But drinking a half-dozen forties in 3 hours and peeing on print-outs of said tupac lyrics does!

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer I live in "the quaint little English village of Devon". So yes, pretty much a cave. But I never watch television and only watch hyperviolent Japanese and French films. And old film noir. And pornography.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 14 November 2003 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

MTV described where I live as "the little town of Devon".

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 14 November 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, like with our slang. Black people always used to say, "I'm in the house" instead of "I'm here." But then white people all started to say "in the house" so we switched it to "in the hizzouse." Hizzouse became hizzizzouse, and then white folk started saying that, and we had to change it to hizzie, then "in the hizzle" which we had to change to "hizzle fo shizzle," and now, because white people say "hizzle fo shizzle," we have to say "flippity floppity floop."

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 14 November 2003 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

howcome the Philadelphia Inquirer and MTV are doing stories on you Nick?

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 14 November 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Cos I'm fucking great, obviously.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 14 November 2003 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Or possibly they were actually about someone interesting who lives up the road (the road being the M5). Like, say, some 16-year-old middle class white girl who is the new Aretha Franklin. Or something.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 14 November 2003 20:09 (twenty-two years ago)

because her house burned down and she refused to clean it up?

A thought.

If you're going to have a proper conversation about this, you *have* to get beyond the pointless deconstruction of every element of language, especially when you try and use it in your own favour. Unless you're discussing the language itself, obv. Can't you just accept for the sake of discussion that none of you are racist and simplify the terms you use? Or even, y'know, accept that some of you *may* have a bit of casual racism going on? Just be honest with each other - hiding behind some moral firewall is just going to scramble the meanings of whatever you're trying to say.

I just ran Martin Luther King's famous "I have a dream" speech through a jive translator. Would it be better if I had done it to the Bill Of Rights instead?

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 03:38 (twenty-two years ago)

A little, Mr. Blount.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 03:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Would someone explain why Gears posting of a Martin Luthor King speech, after having been run through a "jive translater", is offensive that you delete it?
