I said something happy? Come on kid learn some more vocabulary instead of using "gay". Oh I'm sorry weren't we discussing metaphors and similes and I use one so now I'm a possible pedophile, I'd like to see that train of thought, however let me remind you that you're now bordering libel, an offence by law. I said for you to be a big boy because you're acting like a kid, act like an adult and earn some respect perhaps? My deal is that you are horrendous at trolling, dreadful at digging yourself out of a failed troll and just ridiculous at come backs. If you had a problem with me talking shit to you and you weren't trolling you would have PM'd me, but no not one message, which means you are trolling and failing. But perhaps the reason for that is because of your failed life so your trolling is a reflection of a defeated man who will never be able to amount to shit except a half-witted and unintelligent wannabe bully online.

First, saying big wow is so gay. and i know my post didnt make any damn sense and u latched on like a baby to a nipple. see, thats y im concerned u have no face. ur a possible pedophile. why would u talk about babies suckin nipples? ur raising red flags. you said be a big boy like ur talking to kid. whats ur deal? do i need to call siikez to report u to the police?

Michael Bliss said:

So I wrote more? Big wow, clearly means I had more to say or I was wound up right? No you're wrong, it means what I had to say just so happened to be more than you did, funny how that works out. Nice try to back peddle, of course you tried to make sense or you wouldn't have replied in the first place. I wasn't trying to sound smart, I was pointing something out and you latched on to it like a breast fed baby does a nipple. You want to talk shit then be a big boy about it and actually talk shit instead of being outsmarted trying to outsmart me. SMH you fail at this so badly.

GoreyGuillotine said:

eventually you'll wind someone up, unfortunately it won't be me. After writing more than i did. i know it didnt make sense i was making fun of ur attempt to sound so smart by telling us pay attention and dont take it literally. then explaining what a metaphor is. and i dont troll i only talk shit to people who start shit with me like yourself. and i realized u cant post anything about anything without someone talking shit. and if u have a blue head u get made fun of. thats the rules

Michael Bliss said:

Firstly, nice attempt at an insult just because I have no picture to my profile, how was that going to offend? I didn't say a metaphor so how can something not said make no sense? To put it simply, it can't. Now lets not get in to an English debate because you'll just look stupid. However I must point out I made no reference to similes, I'm aware they are describing something using "like" or "as" but I didn't mean that, I meant metaphorical and was correct in saying it. I didn't confuse them which is what you're trying to imply, what I did was actually show that I know English better than you by you not understanding. A metaphor actually isn't a "direct comparison" either, it is something that on some level is being asserted to have comparison to something completely different. However I like that you're trolling game's improved since I commented on it. Keep trying, eventually you'll wind someone up, unfortunately it won't be me.

GoreyGuillotine said:

Well technically speaking that metaphor made literally no sense. If you look at the literal lyrics objectively, one must must be careful not confuse a simile with a metaphor. However you could consider the fact that all language is a metaphor because words are just labels we use to describe things. And remember a simile is used only describing something with like or as. A metaphor is a direct comparison. But thank u for the English lesson Mr blue face. Because prior to your profound review of this ep none of us here ever understood how to listen to music we always thought every lyric to every song was meant to be taken literally and we weren't supposed to really pay attention to it

Michael Bliss said:

Actually it does. I could say something in a metaphorical way to describe something, I don't literally mean what I'm saying, it's an example to describe something else, however what would your infantile brain understand about that eh? 

GoreyGuillotine said:

OK I'll make sure I pay attention and not look at the literal of what's being said because that makes so much sense

Michael Bliss said:

Listened through about 6 times now and I didn't listen to anything before I heard the whole EP from start to finish. With that said I had no idea of what or how it may sound and I loved it, the whole thing was dope as hell. Without having heard any I think it made the whole EP better to listen to, the beats were sick, lyrically they killed shit, substance was on point when you pay careful attention and not look at the literal of what's being said. Great EP, so glad I pre-ordered it before it dropped, never disappointed with a Strange release!

Here is the problem, YOU! You're so caught up on snitching and trying to live up to a "street etiquette" of sorts that you're forgetting you're not in the streets, no-one on here cares if you've done time, if you've hustled dope, if you've been hit with bullets, that's all bullshit on here. Oh and before you try claiming that I'm making shit up that you've said, they were purely examples, not references to you.

But okay cool I will take it to the police seeing as you think I'm "pussy" or "snitching". I hope you know libel will go to court and I'm in the UK so you'll have to fly all the way over here just to be put on trial? That means I'm basically forcing you to come face to face with me, not just hiding behind my computer screen half way across the world.

WTF is with all the snitching ass police threatening in here? fuck u cry to the police about it you pussy.

Shouldn't have tried to troll me when I'm bored haha! But that rage quit has given me slight amusement for now!

Back to Ces...I was impressed that my copy arrived on the day of release (normally it's a few late cause I'm in the UK!) and we had a holiday day on Monday. This is why I keep buying Strange products even if I have to pay more shipping. Quality releases, good prices and very fast delivery. Yeah the EP could have been better, hell any LP, mixtape or EP could be but for 8 songs and more a "warm up" for newer fans I thought it was perfect at doing its job and will surely get the Cru some new fans.

The EP is pretty sick.  Listened to it 4 times and like it better than Thrift Store Halos.

Alright i was pretty biased on the EP yesterday but after listening to it through multiple times it's alright..UBI out-shined GOD. 
Tempus Fugit - UBI killed the first verse and after that not much to be remembered about the song

Peter Parker - Not really even noteworthy

Klick Clack Bang - Good Flow, Good Beat, Sounds Great Favorite Track on the EP

Colosseum - Good solid track

One Bomb State - Chorus is good, its 50/50

Livin' Life - not note worthy

Time is now - Good Solid track

It's Over - I was sure this was going to be my favorite as it featured Krizz and Tech but I think KCB and Colosseum were better.

This is all just my opinion and that's still subject to change as i continue to listen to it.

Thrift Store Halos was better IMO, and I still think Mayday is the better group of the two but a nice addition to the Strange Collection.

^ After talking yesterday I went back and re-listened to Thrift Store Halos a few times. It was a good solid EP. That being said I still liked 13 better. I think musically, Mayday brings more to the table, being a band and all. But as far as rap goes, I think Ces Cru wins.

Ces Cru has songs about everything though.  I hate to hear things like their shit is all the same sounding.  They have been growing as a group since they started rapping in 99'.  

Chief said:

That kind of a perfect example at what I'm trying to get at.  Ces Cru just bores me to death because their shit is all the same sounding.  To me anyways. Where as Mayday can do it all, Thus making them a far more talented group of musicians. IMO!!!!!  But i'm still curious to see how Ces Cru Grows as a group.

Anthony Longo said:

not necessarily, its because the way mayday is, they're so versatile with their sound, i just feel like their ceiling is WAY higher.

It was $7 for 8 new tracks...can't complain, it's new music, Strange has been relentless about putting out new music this year and I'm not about to start taking it for granted. Tempus Fugit could have been longer, still a cool track. I wish I could download an audio version of the Klick Clack Bang video b/c I think that version has more personality but the song is still awesome either way. The last few tracks took a few listens to warm up to but they're still good tracks...the point is diversity, no two tracks are alike, they give you a little taste of everything, just enough to tide you over until the full album, which they've already said will contain more meaningful content...

That being said, 8 tracks just isn't enough so I had to expand 13 to 13 tracks by adding FreeDoom, Digits, It Goes Up, Musical Chairs and All City (North South) off the solo mix-tapes. I chose these tracks for my own reasons, one point being to leave off the main tracks like Old Greg and 6 Minits or Larry David etc, I already have a "Matter Don't Money to The Deevil" Playlist so these were the 5 tracks that to me fit the best with 13....other than 13 of course which I considered but that's a pre-amble/post-script and not really a song...I guess it could be an intro but it's not playlist material and FreeDoom is just too cool. Digits is just too sick. It Goes Up is just too nice. Overall I liked Matter Don't Money more and it's gotten more listen so I chose Musical Chairs and All City b/c they feature Godemis and are basically Ces tracks and Ubi carries the other playlist so Godemis had to get some love on this one.

Same for Thrift Store Halos, except the possibilities are so much more...Death March Remix, Internal Wars, TNT Remix, Highs and Lows Remix, Roaches Remix, Do Or Die, Who Ya Know...there's a whole nother EP right there, add the two together you got a badass album.

While I'm here, off-topic I know, ¡MADAY! "Freestyles" Playlist: Robot Rock, Sweat Shop, Make Some Noise, Sinister Kids, Dark Fantasy, Declaration, Look At Me Now, Good Good Night, Mayday & Chardonnay, Goldie, Hands On the Wheel, Mighty Healthy, Start It Up, Break Ya Neck.
