@Ruffdraft, believe me, I understand (about building up, only to have to start over again at step 1). Your work's been appreciated.

@ThatDamnJay, I hear you. I know everybody has been through the same… the I.C. has never had a better setup than it has now though…

Appreciate it. Props to all mods and admins, I think we've been very resilient in recent years and still maintain an I.C. community despite the break ups to make ups. Takes a lot to keep the shape as so many would run wild, so it's definitely a good look for us all.

On a side note, that Watch the Throne tour was impressive. They were on for over two hours, interchanging between solo efforts and the recent collab. One of the best hip hop concerts of recent years.

Respect.

@ the bolded, you maaad lucky fam yo if there's one concert I wish I coulda been there to witness it's this one:
=player_embedded

I think it was in the UK or something, but got dayum I wish I coulda seen Jay and Nas perform Dead Presidents together or maybe 50 Cent and Eminem doing Till I Collapse (they performed it at SXSW). I'm in Canada so we rarely get to see concerts like that when I have more time in the future I'll prolly travel more to catch some of those concerts.

@Sion.

Haha I never saw Nas & Jay together, though I've seen both of them every time they've been over - but I'm about to miss Nas' upcoming one as I am saving for my summer trip and I've seen him three times or more already.

That YouTube audio is dope. Would have been amazing to see that, agreed.

I'm in Vancouver for 22 days this summer, thought I'd be able to catch a concert - would love to see k-os or K'Naan but no sign of even a worthy concert - shame.

Can't wait to check out your country though… I like the UK but it has its downsides too. Going to hit up Banff National Park and surrounding areas… can't wait, looks incredible.

On a side note, I saw Coldplay on Saturday as well - Chris Martin is in that YouTube you dropped.

That was the greatest show, period from a production standpoint, I just don't like that sort of music as highly as I like hip hop, but if I did it would be a no contest between that and Watch the Throne tour.

You ever seen k-os live? He's one of my favourite artists…

lol at you pussy ass niggas catching feelings. not my fault the West ain't shit n Pac was a emotional little faggot. the more I learn about that fake lying motherfucker I lose respect for that nigga. PAC was a lying drama queen, he lied about getting shot in the head when the nigga was pistol whooped, he lied about BIGGIE setting him up, lied about BIG not visting him. fuck 2Pac he ran up on the wrong nigga n got dealth with. its only so long fake thugs can pretend. n fuck you sensitive ass niggas catching feeling over some dead nigga, who wouldn't piss on any of you if you were on fire. crying to me like I'm suppose to give a fuck about y'all thoughts nerd ass niggas get Mad faggots fuck the West Coast.

lmao at the burrying of this post. U soft b. Shit like this is what makes The Reason entertaining. Obviously the dude had passion about what he was saying. If the people wanna flag him, fine but just cause you dont agree with the dude dont mean u have to burry it. He had 5 ppl that were on his side and by u burrying it he got angry(rightfully so) and took it out on u. Then of course came the ban swiftly after the warning. smmfh

the post was nothing more then trolling he was not trying to chop it up he want to e-beef about coasts which is not what the thread was about I rightfully flagged it as trolling and then the personal shots and further derailment popped off so it is what it is. kats want to rewrite things if I am involved because like you, I have hurt their feelings in the past get over it take the personal shit to donkey and keep it moving. Start bitching about being flagged and burried by multiple kats and become abusive deal with the consequences I used the warning system he is just jailed not actually banned...

 

[Stew]

U do know that some people dont like Pac right? U do know that some people dont know how to come up with an intelligent response right? You shouldve just wacked his post(you're good at that lol) and been done with it. Dude didnt even get that many Troll flags from regular posters. E-Beef will always exist. Yes the personal attacks are flag worthy but not that post. What you're doing is running people away from posting, I know that for a fact from the PM's I get.

I know for a fact he had 3 trolls from regular posters and that kats in PM's are thanking me for for not putting up with bullshit and actually addressing problems so it appears we have two cultures trying to assert themselves on the reason, those that want to chop up HipHop Troll/abuse free and those that do not. I Trolled the troll posts and wacked the wack ones there was plenty of Pac hate that did not get a troll marking from me before and after dude but you over looked those right(you are good at that) keep the spin games up but get your research straight before you go on a attack you are looking mad foolish child...

 

[Stew]

I attacked a post that you flagged and ended up getting him jailed. Have no idea who the dude is, was completely against his post. Im just saying bruh.

Reason buddies...you guys know I like organizing shit...and I'm still down for giving the Reason Awards thing another go around the end of the year...BUT in the meantime, especially after we finally get poll options implemented in threads, I think it'd be fun or "refreshing" to do some interactive things like Top 100 lists and tournaments that posters can participate in. I got a few more hours of time of my hands lately. I'm also thinking about doing the same in the Arcade and Off The Turnbuckle as well...the problem is actually getting people to not be lazy and participate. Thoughts?

I remember a few years ago when I wanted to do a MTV Hottest Rappers In The Game list and do a Top 10 Baddest IC Woman In The Game list but that never happened

 

[5th Letter]

I'm doing the reason debates.

I'm doing the reason debates.

I know, nigyuh, I'm talking after. And how many times I gotta tell you to take my bitch out your avatar?

 

[Stew]

I'm still gonna do the MC tourney. I may just redo the whole thing now that its summer and more peeps have signed up. Ill prolly just end up doing the voting myself just gonna need somebody to put the bracket together.

FYI I'm on vaca for the week, the kid gonna be ghost. Ill check in every now and then

I think it's a dope idea, you should definitely do one for The Arcade and for The Reason. OTTB got enough top 10 lists LOLOL but The Arcade and The Reason could use em.

HLF was working on a tournament for GOAT Rapper/MC it'd be a good look when he gets back to drop that thread in conjunction with yours.

Also, there might be a bit too many stickies in the Reason & as soon as the Reason Debates thread starts up we prolly gonna need extra spaces for threads. Might be best to unstick or move threads around until the debates is over.

Haha @ OTTB and their disgruntlement toward those lists. HLF doing a tournament for GOAT rapper or GOAT IC rapper? It probably would be dope to drop 2 at the same time. I'm thinking GOAT album or at least album of a certain decade. I don't think there's ever been a time in the Reason where we've had an actual consensus of these things.

 

[5th Letter]

@cham lol

What threads do you think we should unsticky? I don't want to step on any toes. I'm leaning towards that fazeem thread.

 

[KillaCham]

That give props thread first of all if anything.... i hatez 2 many stickiez!!!

@icecoldstew (smh I hate typing that wackass name) I could def do the brackets. I used to put together brackets when we did Fight Club in Donkey.

 

[5th Letter]

I'm thinking a total of 8. I think we should keep the album threads up until at least a week or two after each album been out.

 

[Stew]

@Cham fuck u nigga, my name changed without my permission lol

But yea I think ill just stick with the shit we started a few months ago. Its a pretty good list, I just need to finish calculating two brackets and ill hit u with the final joint to put into brackets.

 

[5th Letter]

Who keeps unsticking the debate thread? Why?

 

[Stew]

Not me. Maybe a glitch, those problems days have been gone from what I can tell lol

 

[5th Letter]

I didn't know that type of glitch happens.
