The situation: A man walks into a forum, claims his lowly beheld friends are the greatest musicians in Seattle's hip hop history, then gets awkwardly defensive and starts blasting anybody and everybody with a differing opinion... even tried and true successful Seattle musicians. You think this story would get old, but I'm afraid it's as fresh as ever and the most recent uproar on 206Proof.com.
For those that don't make the Proof a daily stop, allow me to retell this gem of a story as it unraveled. This cat named 'catchwreck', whatever that means, jumped up on the Proof like "Knowmads: Why do I feel like they aren't gettin as much love or as popular as they should be." Then he continues to place them above acts like Blue Scholars, The Saturday Knights and Fresh Espresso (among many others). At least Krue's fan only tried placing him above Grynch (yet failed miserably).
The awesome thing was, once Rhyme Sayers recording artist, now MYX Music Label Manager, Karim Panni (Nightclubber Lang) dropped some of the coldest, game breaking lines on the kids including "they might be the worst group i've ever seen in my life" all the way to "all their energy should be put into something that will help further their career - like learning to be a barista, or how to properly wash lettuce and still comply to health code, or how to catch thieves who shoplift at tj maxx."
If that weren't enough, when Seattle emcee Type chimes in with his 1/50th of a dollar, the 'catchwreck' kid starts going off about some dick pictures of Type he's got on his cell phone or something. It's completely ridiculous... I'd suspect this behavior from a teenage girl (but then again, I'm not sure this 'catchwreck' kid isn't one).
Long story short, these Knowmad kids aren't worth your time. If they're your friends, cool. If you go to school with them, awesome. I went to school with a kid who played on the Saved By The Bell spin-off "California Dreams". That kid was awesome, he traded me my first Gameboy for a stack of Pogs.
Game tips/Walk throughs: POGS! Seriously, trade your pogs to the Knowmads for a Gameboy or something. Just don't bother listening to their cliche/shitty music. Second tip, don't try arguing with their friend/fan about them, because he's already diluted enough to enjoy their music, he won't respond well to reason. Just remind him that his friends are the stuff baristas are made of, and not rappers. That oughtta keep 'em busy fuming at the gills for a while.
Even though everybody seems to think they can rap, barely anybody is ready to call the douche bag pretenders out on their violations. We need more people who are man enough to set these whack-stars straight, rather than feed into their illusions of grandeur. It's time these kids start getting their fuckin' cards pulled.
