Yeah, we do spotlights on members every week in the fighting game thread and I think it would work for GAF-Hop too, perhaps with a more serious and elaborate version of the initiation.

haha i guess that should've been rhetorical but i don't doubt that amongst the deviant population still buying CD's that series still ranks high, but i remember working a music shop in the late 90's when the series was relatively new & still some kind've metric of physical music success...by the time i moved on from that place they were already seeing a decline in sales, and that's like the greatest hits of greatest hits of what's on the radio right now.
crotchety old men were talmbout how music now sucks & that's why fewer are buying, but the writing was on the wall. RIAA got like a good decade and a half or so out of @$20 discs (the techno "import" section would have even Fatboy Slim at $30, that shit took balls).

You know when a new upper mid level Thai place opens in your area and it gets really high ratings on Yelp and your girl wants to go you know its overpriced garbage but you say hey I'll take that L. So you go and you order pineapple massaman duck curry thinkin you're gonna eat good and you get a 24$ plate of deconstructed garbage instead. You realize that all those 5 star ratings came from a bunch of suburbanites ()who frequent Pei Wei and order Pad Thai and Pad Thai only. So you pay 90 dollars or whatever for the two of you and enjoy the cocktails but sadly the best thing there was the familiar yet slightly upgraded larb gai appetizer. You leave with a full stomach, but empty on the inside. She loved it though and says we should go again. Smile on the outside, cry on the inside.
Cruel Summer is like that, but music.
Lol, it's like dating that white girl that wants to go to an "authentic mexican" restaurant, and so you take her to an overpriced sit-down place all the while knowing the best place is the taco joint down the street with a grade B in the window.
i would be down for this

1. You guys need better dates.
2. For Angelenos, tonight is the The Airliner's 9th Anniversary. That's nine years of hosting dope weekly showcases like Low End Theory and Urban Underground. They're having a celebration party tonight that looks like this:
Support your local institutions, brehs.

Okay, I'm gonna be needy again and post a soundcloud mix I made. Had to since this is the best one I've made yet IMO. It's someshit. Trill as fuck, best listened to at max volume.
Late, but I'm about to bump this on a long drive up to the Valley and back to downtown. Hyped.
Not saying Cruel Summer is even that good, cause I'm not a fan of the second half and I don't care for the first track too much, but I still think people love those songs I mentioned. Don't think it's intended to be anything more than what it is. Much better effort than most posse/label albums, and definitely better than MMG.
I would be down for that one on one thing mixed with maybe a few group podcasts, I bet we can make it interesting brehs. Just gotta schedule it.

relistened to The Minstrel Show yesterday. I still dig it, but I can see why some people think 9th's production gets too repetitive. Phonte still funny as fuck though
Also caught me off guard hearing Chris Hardwick on it.

Self Made Vol 1 was legit good and had quite a few bangers. Cruel Summer basically has 3-4 really dope songs and a bunch of meh shit.
Plus Self Made has one of the best intros in recent memory

Why does all the best take out food come from the B rating spots? But yeah we all been there, the worse shit is when she'll mispronounce something but have a smug look on her face cause she ordered it in Spanish. On the flip that's no where near as bad as having a girl mispronounce her order in English.... I went out with a girl last year and she said she wanted to drink gew-a-vo juice

Because the average American doesn't want that shit. They want an Americanized version of things, usually compensate for bland shitty food with no spices with lots of salt or butter. That's why garbage like Olive Garden is popular.Why does all the best take out food come from the B rating spots?

If it got a B, it's okay with me. If it's a C, we might have to see.

As a proud Olive Garden employee, I can vouge that every race/color/creed has shit taste. Our breadsticks are pretty terrible, don't know why anyone likes them.
Do you guys care for coffee? How do you take it?

Olive Garden is popular because it's the Kanye West of food. Is it original or authentic? No. But they give you a taste of everything in its most polished form, yet with a #minimalist touch.
The Bread Sticks are at least Late Registration quality breh, come on.

i left town for a few weeks and when i came back like two weeks ago, our olive garden was closed down (mainly because it was a red lobster as well)
anyways, it was a good day
edit: i've been bumping "banco" a lot in the past two days and honestly, the best thing about it is that it doesn't sound like the cool kids. most of the time when members of a group make a solo album, it sounds just like something their group would make and sir michael rocks decided to release a album full of bangers (and most of them sound amazing)
i recommend the album

but honestly, i used to take my ex there whenever they had a 2 for 20 deal, cause it wasn't too much money and she was happy with it, but eh, it sucked

lmao @ "minimalist touch" and LR bread sticks.
The ability of these threads to veer back into food and Kanye is amazing.

I would say so, lol.
Straight offensive in this case man.
My song of the night is First Things First by Blu. Definitely a song for the ladies, but I always loved the hell out of it for some reason. Not really particularly groundbreaking.
Coffee is ok. I don't like our country's culture of cramming yourself full of shitty coffee to get through a workday/week. A nice cup mid day on a Saturday with a book? Sure. A cup of crack cocaine middle eastern on a Saturday with some dinner
? Sure. South east asian with condensed milk? Sure.
I'm a tea guy though.
