Confirmed with Link: Blackwood traded to Colorado

[Bill Peckerskull]

This is cringe... my God.

 

[Gumballhead]

So...I imagine it's always a shock to a player to hear he's been traded. But do you think it's a bigger kick in the nuts to find you've been traded along with Georgiev to a team?

At least he’s not a defenseman.

What’s worse, this or the Duchene, ROR, Landy lip sync?

Usually I appreciate your thoroughness and willingness to share links, Bill. Usually.

Can people who don't rap please stop f***ing doing these cultural appropriation raps? My god. You never see these knobheads trying to bust out a sick choral rendition, or a jazz number. It's always rap, and its always f***ing shit. If you're going to rap you need rhythm, and 99.9% of the people who attempt to do this, don't have any rhythm or concept and understanding of syllable counts. And they always have the worst, most generic cat-bat-rat-mat kindergarten level lyrics. f*** off.

I think they were going for awful, but yes, it’s hard to listen to that ancient style of rap from 1982.

I mean 80s rap has its place, especially if the rappers are talented and understand structure. But this stuff is so grating to me, especially a life-long hip hop fan and someone who has been and continues to be involved in producing hip hop music.

It's easier to pretend to do rap than it is to actually sing. Bad rap sounds bad, but bad jazz/singing sounds godawful.

It was grating in the Police Academy movies hahaha. These bad imitations of one of the basic root styles of rap was already tiresome by the mid 80s - it’s just the one kind of rapping that anyone can even come close to pulling off, so everyone did. I don’t keep up with hip-hop the way I used to way back but one of my best friends who I used to DJ with keeps me in the loop with his yearly best of playlists. Cheers and go Avs.

I’d already rank him ahead of Kevyn Adams easily.

Adams is useless. Grier isn't much better.

Its absolute shite, but gotta remember that its just an idea by some dumbass media team member. And I don't usually agree about cultural appropriation, but I'm confident that the marketing genius who came up with this did it precisely to try to appeal to those demographics.

 

[Pokecheque]

Adams is useless. Grier isn't much better.

I was a bit harsh on him at first but he appears to have them on the right track. Time will tell but he gets credit for parlaying a reclamation project in Blackwood for a good return.

Conversely I was initially high on Adams but have since soured on him.

Is that the reason why our #1 goalie has still not played a game for us?

It’s nice that you don’t take this too seriously.
