what was the question again?

I'm not the one arguing here.

You got shitted on by about a million people in this thread yet you keep going with your one-man-army JT fanboy crap. Take it to the N Sync forums brah, this is a forum for a REAL musician. Pointless and lame? I guess so, but you're the one with more posts in this thread than anyone else.

Here's a tip - you don't need to defend Justin so much. It comes off as seriously fanatical.

Like I said, don't talk about things you don't know. So you work for Virgin, eh? What's your position? Let me know, I'll see if my A&R guy knows you.

Bust me on stuff? Seriously, kiddo, you're making me laugh now. Ease up. It is a good thing that you're not around much. Good for you though, it doesn't make an iota of difference to me. Maybe you can learn some life skills out in the big bad world. Maybe you can understand that most people over the age of 15 can see Justin Timberlake as the shallow, emulative, unoriginal weak cookie cutter pop star that he is.

If you possess the skills to intelligently debate real funk and soul music without passionately defending your butt-buddy, then I will also be here. Now dust that off ya shoulders.

Keep bustin.

man, you are consistent. i'll give you that.










you seem to be under the impression that i care what you or anyone else in here thinks about me. obviously, i don't otherwise i wouldn't have taken the ridiculously unpopular position that i have in here. for the most part i lurk, because i find the majority of the topics in here too ludicrous for me to even comment on. i just finally got fed up with the millionth "we hate Justin Timberfake" thread in here and decided i needed to vent a little bit. you want to label me an N-Sync fan as an insult. ouch. well, not really. to be honest i wasn't an N-Sync fan at all. i do like me those 2 JT records, though. which i've stated more than once, and obviously am not embarassed to say.

and if this was a "forum for REAL musicians", i doubt that there'd be much more than 100 or so of us that would even be here. (and i'm guessing you might not be one of them) but that's neither here nor there.

again, for the reading impaired, you don't like JT's music, that's great. there's a ton of stuff out there that i think is uber-crap. but i'm not 12. it's not because someone else doesn't like it or i think their name is dumb, or that they don't look like "a popstar", it's because i've listened to and decided that i don't like what i'm hearing. it's what music people do.




says you. again, some of ya'll can label me as the biggest JT fanboy that ever lived, i don't care. i'm not. i just think it's stupid to diss an artist, not because you don't like their art, but because someone else that YOU like doesn't like them. that's retarted to me. i think i've been pretty clear on that point.






hee hee. trust me, "your A&R guy" doesn't know me. and i never said i worked for Virgin (partly because there is no "Virgin" anymore). i don't work for the Capitol Music Group (the proper term). i work for EMI. if you really care what my title is, it's only one click away and really not that hard to find.

that's kind of the point. those of us that do these things? that have record deals, that work in the industry, that travel the world, DON'T BRAG ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET TO SCORE FRIENDS/GIRLS/BOYS/WHATEVER. i'm not on every thread talking about which artists i've worked with, who i've played/sung with, who i know, or anything like that. because i don't have to. i'm not here to impress people that i don't know. i'm here because i'm A) a lifelong Prince fan (not fam or a kool-aid kid by any stretch) and B) because i get bored from time to time. but don't worry, my little time in the sun here (at least on this thread) is setting. i'm like the little cat that was playing with the string that someone was dangling, but just dropped it on the floor. bored now.




(yawn) whatever. again, if some of you want to take the "Justin Timberlake was in N'Sync so therefore all he'll ever be is some cookie cutter popstar" hardline, that's fine. that was my opinion BEFORE i listened to his first cd. but i listened and i liked. simple.

and you don't have to worry about my life skills there, son. it's all good with me.



man. did you just go to the 8th grade "homosexual" joke? really? "butt-buddy"? wow. that's really sad. i guess that works on insecure 12 year olds, and even then i don't think my kid would even feel bad about that one. i guess that was your "intelligence" rearing it's ugly head.

so i won't hold my breath waiting on that intelligent funk/soul discussion. but maybe, just maybe, if there's a thread that i stumble across that seems like it fits that description, and you say my name outloud three times, i'll appear in a puff of smoke and we'll have our debate.

okay, probably not.


but it did sound cool.....

you guys

As far as I'm concerned,
U all can just go straight to hell.

dude, believe me.
i feel like i'm already there.




but only when i'm in here.

ButterscotchPimp said:

Aww, sorry you feel that way. Hope you enjoy your day and Janet's new album should be out sometime in or before March, so she says.
I definitely look forward to what she has to offer once again!

ButterscotchPimp said:

Resort to "I don't care what anyone else thinks". Real mature. You also speak of people being reading-impaired yet you managed to completely misquote me. Did I say this was a forum for real musicians? No. I said this was A FORUM for A REAL MUSICIAN - ie, Prince. Look at the top of the screen. This is PRINCE DOT ORG.

Oh, and you guessed wrong.

ButterscotchPimp said:

Now you are branding me with something that I have never said. I don't like JT because I like Janet or Prince? Urm, no, that would be dumb. I don't like him because he is weak, unoriginal, boring and annoying. That good enough for ya? I've never dismissed your point, in fact I agree with it.

ButterscotchPimp said:

What a surprise that he doesn't know you. I wonder who does...

ButterscotchPimp said:

That's exactly what you have been doing though. Otherwise, it would have never come up in the first place.

ButterscotchPimp said:

Justin being in NSync has nothing to do with my opinion of him as a cookie cutter pop star. His solo work more than matches that description.

ButterscotchPimp said:

Three times? LMAO. Now I'm convinced you know what you are talking about, since the "repeated name and I'll appear" shtick comes from the movie CANDYMAN, except anyone who actually bothered to watch the movie knows that you have to say his name FIVE times. Real smart. Guess that's what I can expect from a Timberlake fan.

DawnD said:

well, aren't you a sweetie.
thanks.
i'm not really looking forward to Janet's new one, per say. but i am curious to see how she does on a new label, and how much involvement JD's going to have with the sound. i really think she only needs to work with Jimmy and Terry because they know how to hide her vocal flaws, but she seems to have other ideas.

Militant said:

hey!!!!! you came back for more? i guess i should say that i'm surprised, but i'm not.

and for the sake of all involved, i'm not going to cut and paste and dissect you again. i mean i could, but to be honest i'm bored with it. i mean "Candyman"? "you didn't say it five times!!!" that's what you got? could it be possible that for Halloween i was going for a "Bloody Mary" joke instead of a "Candyman" joke?

so you know what? you win.
it's your playground there, big man!
you told me!
i'm officially leaving with my tail tucked firmly between my legs never to be seen again!


well, until the next time i get really bored or slightly annoyed.

ButterscotchPimp said:

Big difference, son. I pointed out your spelling mistake only because the word in question ("retarded") was a direct insult to me and others, which you typed in CAPITAL LETTERS and devoted a whole line to in order to give it extra emphasis. The fact that the word was accusing others of low brain power was kind of weakened by the fact that you couldn't even spell the word right. That was the point. This point seemed so obvious that I didn't think it needed to be explained. Silly me. I forgot who I was talking to.



Yes, cookie cutter artists like Justin work with popular producers, and in this case the popular producers had a cool, urban sound. Problem with JT is he is the exact opposite of cool and urban. He is a Dork. Always has been, always will be, and everytime you see him perform or hear his competent, but soulless vocals you're reminded of that. That's the problem. The beats flatter him. Lyrics like "I'm bringing sexy back" do the same thing, since this dude is not sexy. Some people are believable doing that routine and others are not.


LOL!! You're accusing me of not reading and yet you've completely misread the quote you're responding to. The quote you're responding to is dealing with your false claim that I called you a newcomer. I've already explained how your poor communication skills meant you gave the impression of lumping me in with Janet fans. You obviously didn't read that paragraph since you're basically asking me to repeat it. It's worth pointing out that you also gave Militant the same impression in your exchange with him. Surely that should tell you something.


The first few words in bold basically tell the whole story and everything else is bullshit you can't back up. You said it yourself. You're "making assumptions". You say they're based on my posts. Back that up. Show me where I even MENTIONED Prince in this thread. What's that you say? You can't do it? Well, of course you can't do it son, cos that shit was floating on water from the moment you dreamed it up.


Nope. Toilet cleaning was the first image that came to mind when you said you worked for a record company. Considering how much time you've spent on this thread I can only assume business must be a little slow at the moment, but don't worry, son. Things will pick up.
