From off the Classic Mafioso Concept Album: "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx". Some say this was the catalyst for this sub-genre; a pivotal point in the darker, murkier mood that resonated throughout Inner-City New York (Or at least, didn't become discernible until The RZArector and his Clan Divulged This Pandemic) during the time when the West Coast were taking over. Unabashedly borrowing some of the stylistics from Kool "G" Rap, Wu-Tang Clan made an impact. Five Percenter Vernacular/Lingo sprawled all over this implicitly cinematic mastery on wax, although esoteric, was charming all the same. Contemporary Noir, I ignorantly purport, is how you could sum it up, succinctly. Ghostface Killah's "Catch-As-Catch-Can" rapping style contributed and complemented RZA's Idiosyncratic, yet profound production style, heavily. All elements were formidable and bountiful, to the amber accord of its mellifluous flowery. They knew how to give grace and elegance to a raw, uncanny, unkempt, uncouth body of aurally-encompassing work. Try to dissect the dichotomy of those two powerful elements: Pauper with Proper. Urban Artistry at it's finest. Or so I've heard, anyway. I've heard some of these songs, but this one is so fucking chill to me! Take heed to these horribly-written words for your perusal and at your own risk. This was precarious of me. Sorry. I'm bad at writing synopses. |

You act like you're the vanguard of thread title attraction strategies. But seeing as you're open to suggestions, I find a thread title that indicates the contents of the thread tend to be the most popular. |

Of all the ridiculous things I've been accused of, and there have been a few, I think this takes the cake. Preposterous even by your magnificent standards. |

Even if suggesting I believe myself to be some sort of master of thread-titling just because I thought yours was daft isn't silly*, the use of the phrase "vanguard of thread title attraction strategies" most certainly is.
* And it is silly logic. If I went out for a meal and they put a shoe in my soup and I complained that's not because I believe I'm a Michelin Star-quality chef. It's just because I know you shouldn't combine soup and shoes. |
