That's going to be the most one dimensional alcoholic drink of your life.

You are addressing a guy who probably has not one, but several wine coolers in his fridge tbh.


I do like guinness out of a tap in a proper irish pub or layered on top of some kind of wheat beer or even cider (that's right bitches) but out of a can?

I love it, but Esch is on the money, it's not the same unless you got it draught. Are you a dark beer drinker? If not, it make take some getting used to.

I got the draught, never had a dark beer before. For refererence I didn't like Blue Moon, wasn't really big on Pilsner either. I kind of liked Sam Adams Lager and a local Michigan beer (Oberon or something like that). Nothing has really made me say wow this tastes really good.

Thats cause beer doesn't actually taste good. Eventually you just find some beers that you don't hate drinking.

Old Rasputin is one of my favorites but I'd recommend starting out with something like Milk Stout, as it's so accessible and chocolatey Once you find yourself in a place that has exotic styles you should try some triples, sours, and Flanders and come to realize that beer doesn't have to be bitter and it can actually hit the same notes as wines if you so desire

Shame shit will never be popular again, with bees dying like crazy these days
Honestly if it wasn't for the increasing scarcity of honey I could see mead potentially catching on with hipsters and yuppies or whatever and becoming a popular drink. Craft beer has only become super popular around here over recent years and I could see the same with mead if it was more available.
 
So...Nas says his favorite video game is Ms Pacman, says "every" Outkast song is his favorite Outkast song, gives a generic answer with respect to the new NY rap scene, recommends Love Supreme as an intro jazz album....can we confirm that the god doesn't really listen to new music or do new...anything? I'm sure people play new music for him all the time, but I bet if you looked at his iPod it would just be Motown and 80s rap. And jazz wise...I'd never hate on Coltrane, Love Supreme is amazing, and I have compared Nas to Coltrane before just in term of being cool, but I'd love to see if Nas has listened to stuff beyond Coltrane, Davis, Mingus, etc.

Oh no doubt man. That was the first thing I thought when I tried it out, 'this is the new (lol) cider'. Remember when that shit dropped back in the late 00s? All the richer yups were drinking that shit, until it became abundantly clear it was just another form of bitch beer. But the thing about mead is that since it's technically wine, it has an air of sophistication about it (and it does have a surprisingly complex flavor from the ones i remember trying).... Plus people will forever associate that chit with vikings and shit, therefore making it difficult to call it some pussy drink.

And of course the hoes love it, especially since it smells like flowers for real.
You mean Portishead
Very embarrassing for enzo.

i wouldn't expect Nas to be bothered with staying up on current pop culture. that's a Hov thing.
 
Hes just a man of his time, and really people like him that way. People dont like seeing childhood / teenage idols change like that.

Yup. I'm not criticizing him, but reading those answers it becomes clear why he picks the beats he picks, doesn't really do noteworthy collabs on his albums, etc. He doesn't care about that shit. It becomes a detriment music wise, especially in terms of beat selection, but I'm fine with him being his own man.

He has no idea what's going on. Which is the only explanation for why he thought Summer On Smash was a good record.

Knowledge is power, guard it well
Me too, but I guess I just branched out a lot. Liquid Swords is still the best hip hop album ever though, and I'll always be eternally grateful for them getting me into 90s rap and other shit. They all made classics, but sometimes when I look at the Wu I think that there was more potential there that wasn't accessed, like most of them gave up after one or two albums creatively and they fell apart as a unit.

Two words: Bobby Digital.

When RZA went off the deep end, stop using samples, etc., the whole clan went down with him. If RZA had stayed making sick beats, we would've gotten 4 or 5 more classics out of the Clan. When the other members had to start going to outside sources for their production, things fell apart.

It'd be like if Keith from Voltron decided the little nerd should be the head. The whole body would lose its swag.

Basically hes a guy who raps amazing. When you listen to him on music or on other opinions, its always moronic. His music opinions especially are pretty awful, I remember him calling Meek shit classic too. I always wondered what itd be like to see him tick in a psych session or something, because his introversion is so strange. Its so strange to look at hip hop forums and watch people cop pleas and justify for the weird and just incorrect shit he says all the time, kinda like apologizing for your 'simple' cousin that you love very much.

I'd defend the Meek comment in the sense that he hasn't listened to any Meek music, outside of the music Meek played for him when they did that (pretty damn good) song together. So him saying Drake released a classic album is basically him blindly handing out props - he doesn't listen to any of this shit.

On the flip side I'd imagine if you talked music with Jay and asked if he listened to some obscure band, he'd pretend like he had. Different sides, same coin.

I think it depends. With music outside of rap, sure. But when it comes to rap Jay kinda has a rep for being on the ball and occasionally brutal with up and coming rappers at the very least. One of the reasons Game has always hated and dissed him so is because the first time they met essentially Jay told him not to quit his day job etc. He did something similar to Big Sean as well (lol). Jays interest in music outside of rap is a joke to me, and always comes off silly unless its old black music. But he keeps heavy tabs on rap. Lowkey I think he watches Battle Rap too.
 
I'm turning 21 in just over a month. Going to be fun to try some beer recs from the GAF- Hop gawds.

Turning 21 this month. But I've been legal to drink since 19.. always found it weird that you have thots doing porn at 18 but having a sip of liquor is against the law.
