Kzoh doc holds Nas to a standard higher than what he Does.Like that good teacher in a class full of semi literate degenerates who will one day become the front page of wshh

Kzoh · 2012-04-17T08:50:14.000Z

I love music like the next dude, but I don’t rage over mediocre/shitty tracks. shrugs

the hologram shit is creepy and tacky. before pac died, he wasn’t in good terms w/ the “beat jacking fag” and snoop. tasteless move by afeni but hey can’t knock her for gettin paid.

Kzoh · 2012-04-17T09:19:28.000Z

I really don’t see how it was tacky, I still don’t get the creep factor, just don’t. Shit was tight, can’t tell me nothing else.

No sign on paying to see holograms perform. For starters, that Pac hologram was sliding all over the place when he moved. Two, the whole purpose was to hear someone live. How are you going to hear a live dead nigga?

No, the point of a show is to be entertained. Its why ninjas got amped off Ye’s major tour a couple years back, cause he wsa entertaining cats with splosions and fireworks. If the shit was just about seeing someone ‘live’ the shows owuld be real ‘garbage’. To me, the whole point was to simply do soething dope that would make it memorable…and they did. The internet is going nuts over something they didn’t advertise until the week of. - i.e. it wasn’t done to sell tickets.

:bluu:

Currently ripping my kung-fu collection so I can store the DVDs away in a month or so. Man these things got titles like porn movies…you ALWAYS know a porn movie title just like you always know a Kung-fu title. Last niight I watched ‘Avenging Eagle’. I’m aout to rip ‘Duel of the Iron Fist’ and ‘The 36 Crazy Fist’…
porn=kung-fu

Eh? If I go to a concert, I want to be entertained by a live performance (and live music) by the artist I’m paying to see. If I just want to watch a bunch of special effects, I’ll go watch a movie. That’s the whole point for me…the music. Fact is, if I go watch someone dead perform…that shit is the furthest reason from why I’m there in the first place. I might as well go look at a youtube recording from when the artist was alive and performing.

I didn’t mean Coachella was doing it to sell tickets, I meant in general. I hope it doesn’t become a fad to get money out of people, especially when the tech isn’t 100% to begin with. HoloPac was sliding all over the floor.

The only exception I’d make, is if it was some CG shit like what Madonna did with the Gorrilaz.

maxx · 2012-04-17T17:11:14.000Z

holopac was a surprise wasnt it? no one knew about that shit. so i dont get the hate on coachella to sell tickets.

AcEtUrNeDjOkEr · 2012-04-17T17:46:21.000Z

I truly don’t know why people are hype over holopac…Hell, the crowd didn’t even seem hyped when it was going on. (Generational gap i’m assuming) Ninjas been dead for 16 years…stop just stop

If I go to a concert its to be entertained and feel the eletricity in the air…yes thats often built upon by a live performance…but ‘HoloPac’ was simply dope to put out there. I didn’t look at the crowd reaction, but I’m thinking of how wild my generation would have acted upon seeing that shit…the energy would be contagious as fuck, and its well documented by the innanets that I don’t like Pac (I give credit but he’s not my typical cup of tea). Its no different than a movie. Seeing Matrix 2 at 12:01 with a bunch of other folks geeked to see it who reacted to everything made the movie seem good (then reality set in when I watched it on DVD). So I look at this similar - no the tech wasn’t perfect, the LOD was crappy IMO and didn’t look as realistic as it could have (especially considering how old the tech for this actually is - see arstechnica’s article on it), but could you imagine being in like the tenth row when Pac just springs up and hits you with Hail MAry? That shit is the definition of ‘CRAY’. Shit is like when an artist brings out an act you weren’t expecting. I’d enjoy the fuck out of that shit and the only Pac album I actually own is Makaveli…

uggh…not to harp on you, but are people using that shit now? Like Swag?! I swear we will shorten all words to be 3-4 letters long in a decade.

I dunno if people are using it, I just like it shrug…for me its one of those ‘it stands out enough to make it understood why I’m using it’ type things. me capitalizing and parenthesizing ‘CRAY’ stands out more than me saying crazy…and gives a stronger effect to my point. Just like the word ‘swag’…its has a stronger conotation that just ‘confidence’ and at least IMO exemplifies a definition that is not contained in just the word confidence.

Kzoh · 2012-04-17T19:36:31.000Z

Why do people feel the need to go out of their way to make that performance seem insignificant ? The crowd was dead for justice too, white hipster crowds only get hype over obscure shit. Not to mention only wigger white people fuck with pac.

Drfatality · 2012-04-17T19:39:19.000Z

i thought i was only one that felt like the crowd wasnt really into Dre and Snoop’s set,
