Dear Stereogum, if you promise to never, ever write about hip-hop ever again (ever!)–especially with all the overwrought Wire references, factual errors about samples, misspellings (unless that errant “e” tacked onto Flavaor Flav is some Quayle-era gag I don’t get), fat jokes, and ironic “z’s” added to the end of words–then I promise to, I dunno, donate some of my newfound free time to the local ASPCA or a hospice or something for a little public service quid pro quo.

Isn’t it Flavor Flav?
Maybe you could promise to take a refresher course on parentheses… that’s confusing up there.
haven’t they ever heard of http://www.the-breaks.com?
Al stole my thunder by 10 minutes, boo.
The misspelling of Flav’s name is a running storyline on this season of Flavor of Love. I hate myself for knowing that.
Also, if you’re going to bitch about someone else’s writing skills, you might want to doublecheck your use of parentheticals before hitting publish.
hoisted twice on my own rush-to-publish petard u_u
i love it when idolator talks down to stereogum, it’s like upside down world!
I actually link my idolator profile on stereogum. One is for business news and snark discussion. The other is for music I actually care about. Both provide an outlet for hating Vampire Weekend at least once every few weeks.
oooooh shit, blog war!
Jess is really right about this. Idolator’s not perfect when the editors write about hip-hop, either, but they at least understand that rappers are human beings.
@Jess Harvell: All right; you’re completely forgiven, because you used the word “petard.”
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
hot freaks would be more a propos if there was a blogger mud wrestling pit
What were the factual errors about samples? They seem to have cleaned it up…
@elvissinatra: The post initially said that Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing” sampled, well, “Wild Thing” … I guess the original version by the Troggs. Of course, it actually samples liberally from “Janie’s Cryin’”.
