I'd love to attend, though i only have access to TTC for transportation and i was wondering if that was feasible. I don't have anything special, but i will bring my M50s and VBs.

Quote: Yeah you are correct, and i dislike Jay-Z and believe him to be a sub par rapper due to his lyrical content, he has written more songs about himself than anyone else in the industry. I have found his content is constantly about money, women, himself and several other cliche crap...

  Respect, all on my clip now.

Oh man Murs is coming to Toronto in March with "Special Guest" i'm so god damn excited! The man is a fantastic story teller imo.    

ATH-M50s and Klipsch S4 were all i had time to test them with, of course volume matched. Using headphones with flat sound characteristics is irrelevant IMO.   Quote:

Well i have yet to see technical data that shows using redundant opamps provides an improvement in any way, and having tested the player myself I found no marked improvement over other average players vis-a-vis sound stage, quality or anything to do with sound reproduction. I'm not saying it...

Well first of all calling something fact that is clearly opinion makes you look like an ignorant fool. Secondly having had the chance to AB the sflo2 and a rockboxed clip they sound no different with no EQ. Though when using EQ I much preferred the sound produced by the clip. 2 Wolfson DAC is...

This is what i keep my clip and VBs   This is what i keep in my bag for cables, extra daps, extra iem, thumb drives, etc.

  Imo

rockbox > nano 2g > diy IC > hippobox+ > VB  

I saw a hipster chick wearing B&W P5 the other day, i was rather surprised. It seems Toronto is infested with Skullcandy Lowriders, by far the most popular headphones i see around the city.

Yeah this should be a better year for hip-hop, at least i hope it will be.

I'd rather not support a company that makes 95%+ of their income by selling re-branded, marked up garbage regardless of the fact they are able to make one a pair of "decent" cans. Considering how most of their fashion demographic aimed cans and iems are build horribly, break constantly and sound...

Yeah the next blackout is apparently in the works and should be out later this year, i'm excited for that and hope it's better than the second.     Quote: What about him?

  Quote: Hair metal was around for a few years, and hiphop has been around since the 70s and is not going anywhere.   If you don't like the genre, why post in a thread about it? On another note, your posts in this thread clearly show you lack of knowledge about the genre, maybe...

I read rumours a little while ago that a new Comany Flow album might be in the works! That would make this a great year!

We need an applause smiley hehe. I agree and it really seems a lot who deserve it don't get the recognition like J Dilla who should have legendary status and no doubt does in the minds of the real hip-hop fans but is largely ignored by a lot of hip-hop fans. I guess it is harder to see the...

I have a habit of using music as kind of a meditation where i will lay down on the couch or comfy chair, have a "smoke" and just listen to 2-3 albums in a row and it just makes my stress disappear. Sadly i don't do it nearly as much as i want to, but my "meditation" time is split between reading...

I've recently been delving into K-Rino's catalog and really enjoying it. He's done so much so it's going to take a while to get a good handle on him hehe.

  Quote:   Why do some people always have to somehow find a way to judge the preferences of another? What if "very nice" is at the top of Confispect's scale of rating something? In that case very nice is plenty to describe Rakim.

  Quote: Well first of all i find that most people seem to choose Tupac as a GOAT because of his death and his standing in the hip-hop scene at the time of his death, let me explain that a little more. I was 17 when Tupac and Biggie died, i had been heavily into hip-hop for years at...

I never really liked pac, i think he was highly overrated.   top5 lists are so tough, Rakim deserves a spot without a doubt and he would probably make it as 6th/7th on my top10.

Got a black On Sight Saigon Grand at MEC over the holidays as my new bag, the thing is huge, very well made and also made in Canada.    

It's SO hard to pick 5, but i'll try my best. I'm not going to name groups or partnerships only single MCs.   My top 5 GOAT list is, in no particular order:   1) Big L Tragically died far too early and did not really get the chance to mature as a rapper, but what he did make while he...

3-4 months ago my left post solder crack and had to re-solder it as well as reinforce the others when i had it open and the sound it produces did not change, it's all in your head.
