Question: What do you define as old school hip hop? Examples?

---

I'd consider stuff like Missy Elliott old school by now, also Lil Kim Probably the cutoff is about 2002 or so, before stuff like Kanye West came along

---

Funny. When I think old school hip hop, either NWA or Wu Tang Clan come to mind. Unless you count stuff like Sugarhill Gang, that's about as old school as you get.

Killing in the Name by Rage Against The Machine

Probably one of the best RATM songs ever.

No relation, but I've always been a fan of theirs.

---

Fuck yeah you just made my day.

Also some other good RATM songs:
Renegades of Funk
Guerilla Radio
Calm Like a Bomb

---

You're missing one of the biggest ones:

Bulls on Parade.

Also, the school marching band medley. There's hope for the future yet.

Harmony Korine or Darren Aronofsky?

---

Darren Aronofsky, if for no other reason than I haven't seen any of Korine's films. Spring Breakers looks promising, though.

Your post makes perfect sense to me. There's obviously a lot going on, but one thing you mentioned that jumps out at me above all else: your dad is proud of you. I may not know everything, but I do know the power that hearing those words can have, and it sounds like you believe them. That's huge enough, and I think that's worth acknowledging.

Second, I suggest giving yourself permission to process it all. Specifics aside, it sounds like you both got a direct dose of each other's paradoxical, messy humanity and the effect it's had on your family over the years. Realizing your parents aren't monsters or robots and are actually imperfect humans who (generally) do the best they can is another shock I know a lot about, and can take time to work through. Don't be afraid to take that time. It is absolutely worth it.

Just from this abridged summary you posted, I get the sense that your dad genuinely loves you, in spite of any shortcomings which are all too human anyway. No matter what else, you can still hang on to that reality. As for everything else, taking the time to process and grieve whatever you need will usually yield results. Plus, any number of counseling services and the like are available to take you the rest of the way.

You're on the right track. Don't give up.

When was the last time you made smores?

Who are some good stand up comedians?

Remember Strongbad Emails?

Have a favorite one?

How often do you feel the desire to drop an anvil on people, Looney Tunes style?

Isn't everything better when it's double-sided?

I'm sure there are some things that aren't, but I just can't think of them right now.

Huh?

Wear socks with sandals one day, and take a look at the reactions you get.

That should explain it all.

Can you explain?

---

Periods of peace and quiet tend to be very restful and inspire some creative writing prompts for me. Specifically, I enjoy writing epilogues and side stories for my current D&D campaign. It's fun.

salt or pepper (please pick salt please pick salt)?

Salt. Because you asked nicely.

Why didn't I get carded for buying Spring Breakers today even though it was the unrated version?

---

Because I assume you are not a dumb teenager.

Finally, a football related post I can get behind!

Wait, what kind of beer are we talking?

This is important.

Never seen a Maria Bamford show, then?

Then can you guess which my favorite song by Maiden is?

I don't think you know how poor my Maiden game is.

Is Swingball drunk?

---

The real question: Is Swingball of legal drinking age?

I am somehow transformed into a minotaur, and am forced into goring random internet folks on my razor sharp horns for the hypothetical entertainment of strangers.

What do I do?

Hi Thierry! It's okay, lazy and comfy posting is what happens here.

Enjoy your stay.

Meanwhile, im sitting here watching a Raiden trailer for Injustice 2.

Not sure if I had anything to do with this one...

When was the last time you made smores?

What should I dress as for Halloween this year?

I find a Caterpie on Route 1, eating a leaf and minding it's own business.

I am still a minotaur.

What do I do?

1. As a knight who has slayed an outsider, will you declare a feast tonight?!

---

Nah, give it a week.

---

Can have that feast now? It's been a week.

I don't know, can you?

Is the radio dial better now that Howard Stern's gone from commercial airwaves?

He's never been my taste, so...yes?
