Comments at a Standstill




















Link has been removed for the 3rd time, so I have thrown in the towel on the Brotzman/Hopkins/Ali share. Please see the above message for details on this.


Well, it appears that using Z-Share is not going to work, since they have already deleted the Brotzmann/Hopkins/Ali link from their server. Most of the file sharing services have been unreliable lately, but I am re-upping this link with Mediafire. Please let me know if there are any problems with the download using Mediafire.


Now onto more pressing issues:

Lately there have been a lot of vistors here who have downloaded shares without leaving a comment. I too have downloaded something from a blog and then didn't leave a comment because I couldn't remember where I had gotten it from. So, I know where you're coming from on that one. However, it is generally just nice to hear that people appreciate what I'm doing here. A simple "thank you" will suffice, and I don't think that this is too much to ask. For those precious few that have left comments, this message does not pertain to you.

I'm not asking every single person to comment about what they download, but there have been roughy 150 downloads and only 1 comment on the last two posts. The comments are what inspires me to share more stuff and post more often. Please tell me what you think of the music, the writing, the design, etc. I am also open to posting things that you guys request, so let's get the dialogue going.

Hey man, you have one of the most lovely, well done blogs around! I am from Germany and would our blog by chance and since then they with you and your selections. I just found you a couple of days ago and been still not through all your posts- too much good stuff to listen to. But as some otheres said before, I download the music and listen to it not directly. So sometimes I don´t know, were I get it and were to say, if it was good or not. But your call for feedback is very understandable and maybe was needed. For me, I have to say, because here I am and thank you in words- and not just with keeping yuour fantastic blog in mind. I recommanded it to friends as well. So it was good to ask for some feedback, because otherwise, I (and others) wouldn´t write some words to you, because all these blogs together can become kind of unpersonal- so I think it is good to keep it more personal-. from both sides. And I agree, that you should count the commands and stay with them- there will be always more people, who will not, but for those who do, keep looking on them.
You will "meet" me again on your blog- thank a lot, Marco

MF DOOM: Spell his name with ALL CAPS

Image
According to sources close to the legendary rapper/producer MF DOOM, he died on 10/31/20.  His family has chosen to keep this news private until now, and the cause of death has yet to be disclosed.Below is a screenshot of the heartfelt dedication from Doom's Instagram account posted by his wife Jasmine. I am completely gutted, and am hardly able to string words together for this post. Doom's material throughout the early years as Zev Love X with KMD, to the last two decades spent with the alter egos of MF Doom, King Geedorah, Viktor Vaughan and Metal Fingers has thoroughly enriched my life. Madvillainy , his unprecedented collaboration with Madlib in 2004, will go down as one of the best records in the history of hip-hop. Doom's style is difficult to pinpoint, as he was able to rap fast with a slow, booming baritone, while delivering his lines in a cadence that was like no other before him. He made what he was doing seem effortless, but he was undoubtedly giving it his all.
