i bet every single person defending the corps either wants, or has gotten some of that scion money..
sorry to have to shove your nose in it like that.. but sometimes, its what needs to be done..
how am i a hypocrite? so I went to a scion show for the first time since I've been to LA, didnt like how the corps where handling it, and called action to get people to think about whats going on.. and that makes me a hypocrite..
I'm about to put myself at risk, so I can throw a bad ass illegal FREE rave, and a sick underground, and completely pubic place..but I'm a hypocrite..
was even thinking of asking your boy to play a few, but I'm a hypocrite..
I am not speaking for anyone else but me. Its cheap and nasty for you to repeatedly bring up my relationship and I'm sick of it. I've been respectful of you even though I don't agree with your "new" position and I say "new" because if you were even at the show, you had 3 separate opportunities to express concern for your support of Scion and in each instance, you flexed on your moral standing to get what you wanted: a free Joker show. The more you bring him up, the more you invalidate your stance.
If the idea that I can have this opinion without having kickbacks or sponsorships purely because I enjoy going to free shows with people that I would have never been able to see had it not been for this way--if you can't see that the one thing I stand to gain is getting to experience and enjoy this music, show support for the musicians, show support for my fellow brothers and sisters, and give props to people who are spending their free hours sweating and working over stuff that they hope will one day make it and then it does.....if you can't understand how I would feel this way, then #1 you have no idea of the kind of person I am and #2 you have no respect for the people who are working so hard to bring it here.
You disrespected every single DJ/Producer who's ever worked with a corporate sponsor. You disrespected all the hard work that went into bringing the amazing free show to this area. You disrespected your friends, your beloved artists. Those people who you are moved by. The people who embraced you when you moved to LA. You disrespected every single one of them.
But somehow, you think the reason I have this opinion is because I am concerned with getting that corporate dollar, instead of seeing it as just one person who feels privileged just to be able to be a part of this and thinks that instead of burning bridges in the community, we should be building them. Maybe I care about the loads of artists who don't make it, who work hard to get to a point where they'd get an offer that would really ease their troubles. Maybe I'm thinking about how many cats don't have shit else but their tables, their laptops, and their love of music--and how those cats would feel if someone said to them, "You touched us and we have no other way to say thank you but to share and help get the word out. Here's a stipend to make it happen."
Maybe I just really love music. I thought that's why we were all here. Loving this sound and giving props to the people who make it happen.
I'm done.....at some point, as the adage says, arguing with fools at a distance makes you look like one. And that's just not really why I'm here.
okay.. so it's okay for you to personally attack me, but if I bring up luke it's in bad taste.. whatever.. you have your motives to hate, and don't act like you embraced me with open arms when you got there.. you have been beefing with my girl, since she became my girl.. so I dun't wanna hear it..
I have not disrepected anyone, other then people trying to disrespect me.. yes I have always hated scion parties, since the first one ever at NATION (where I used to work) with LTJ BUKEM..
I thought MAYBE they have changed their tune, and more then one person told me to check out joker, so I put my hate aside, to give them a second chance..
I didn't have to fill out papers, goto website, or give up my email to get in.. so I dunno why you keep saying I had to do this stuff to get in.. COZ I DIDN'T.. I just walked up, and got it..
SCION IS NOT OUR COMMUNITY.. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT DUBSTEP, YOU, ME, THE CULTURE OR ANYTHING, THEY JUST WANT YOU TO BUY A FUCKING CAR.. BOTTOM LINE! if 1 person at that scion show buys a scion, it was worth it to them to throw the fucking free party..
and whatever, I only saw you AT the FREE show, not the UNDERGROUND, that required an investment.. wheres your love for BENGA and SKREAM?
