Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Just found out someone I been listening to ever since I was like..15? (Im 35 now) passed today, and it hits double hard because his favorite project of mine was an album with another dude that died in 2020... Now, now theyre both gone
Just goes to show you, tomorrow never promised. Appreciate the time you got and make sure the memory you leave behind is a good one.
Who was it? A rapper?
yeah. His name was Chino XL. He was one of the first complex lyricists. (His debut album is 1996 but that's when he went solo, he messed around with a group before that)
And by Complex I mean he'd say things like...
"My saliva's lava, the wicked anomalous scholar"
The other guy I mentioned, his name was Playalitical. Back before anyone in Hiphop gave colorado a chance (im from denver) - Chino believed in him and they made a whole album together.
This is probably my favorite song of theirs, alot of memories attached to it since I first heard it in like 2007 or so
