Saul Williams and Trent Reznor team up to single-handedly destroy rap music.
KvP:
So he was an asshole, then, is what you're saying?

All slam poets are assholes. Including me, when I was one. That's part of the reason I quit; the audience is so hoodwinked into thinking that these people on stage, who are generally alcoholics, druggies*, misogynists, backstabbing gossips, cold-blooded calculating game-players, or just plain batshit crazy, are really deep, spiritually enlightening and amazing people just because of the piece they're performing. I can't even tell you the number of poets I've known who outright admitted that a piece of theirs wasn't even based on something that actually happened (such as one poet who did a piece about one of his highschool students coming to him for advice about how she was being sexually abused at home, and was a real heartstring-puller and presented as truth, when in fact it was totally and absolutely made-up).
*NB: Not that I think alcohol or drugs are bad, as I'm enjoying both right now, but you know what I mean.

Dismissing whole genres is awesome.

But remember, it's OK if you do it to metal.
Jackie Blue:
I never dismissed literally all metal. I love a select few metal bands. I think the post you're referring to was one where I dismissed certain genre conventions of certain of the most prominent metal subgenres.
Plus, I was mostly just trying to be funny.
