Is it so wrong that I'd love to see a Missy Elliot (no R&B songs though) and MF DOOM show? Someone make that happen, please.

Meh, anyone I've ever liked as a rap artist is a sell-out to one degree or another. I can't even keep track anymore. The whole idea of street cred goes out the window once Mos Def is doing commercials along w/ Chuck D, etc. etc. ... ya, I can't even begin that conversation.

somnambulant 06-08-07 07:36 AM

Yeah, I have to admit finding Missy a guilty pleasure. Although only bits and pieces. I think I mostly just like the production style on the last couple albums.. her lyrics are kinda brutal. :P

I'd also prefer to see El-P than MF DOOM. I can't believe he played here recently and I was totally clueless until several days after.

gettin paid on commercials as a struggling hiphop artist (or not) is onething...making bad music and promoting BS is another...musically mos def, and chuck D have never sold out.

Too bad I have to come downtown now.

P.S I know exactly where that stretch is. It isn't very bike friendly.

I'll second that.. I got into a verbal confrontation with a minivan mom about how I'm "going to get myself killed" last year just north of there, at the 401 on-ramp. According to her, I wasn't riding "far enough to the right" -- I guess that means on the on ramp itself?

On that note, does anyone have suggestions on what the best way to cross the 401 is in midtown? I've done the Don Mills overpass (a bit of a tiring climb if you're already tired), but I'm thinking closer to Bathurst/Yonge. I find that especially on these two streets (as well as Bayview/Leslie), drivers are full of rage and eager to get on/off the highway FAST.

Uhh... I have to ride home in this torrential downpour... Fun times...
