- All right, I'm about to get shitty...
-
- Now as a frequent reader of this newsgroup, I've been anxious to hear what
- people think about new stuff -- what's hype, what's tripe and all that.
- Aside from the recent criticisms of Heavy D. and the Boyz's new LP, however,
- and the obligatory Show 411's and turntable sales, I've been seeing a lot
- of rumors on this board. Somebody heard something somewhere from someone,
- and, of course, they want to tell the world about it. An example of some
- of these posts in the past couple of weeks:
-
- - Everlast OD'd on coke and bit the big one.
- - De La Soul broke up.
- - Mary J. Blige is a lesbian.
- - Scarface was wet up in a shoot out in Louisiana.
-
- People, what is this shit? Was this on the news? Did you read it in the
- paper? Do we have any substantial evidence to support any of these claims?
- Or was this just something that travelled from friend to friend to friend
- until it got to you that Elvis was working at a garage in Lexington, Ky.?
- Anybody care to wager whether this kind of thing led to the breakup of EPMD?
- Or any other groups out there that split up or are considering splitting up?
-
- Please, in the future, if you're not quoting AP or The Source word for word,
- keep this bullshit out of our newsgroup. This ain't alt.he.say.she.say. It
- doesn't belong here.
