Official *Convince me* thread

[andgar923]

I think Im an open minded person. There are things that I've hated and later loved (Radiohead, Beatles, Apple, trip hop, Dilla). Im open minded to learning and appreciating something new, and Im sure I'm not alone.

In this thread post something you don't like, or hate and others will try to change your mind.

First up.....

Lil ______ anything.

I don't like rappers that have 'Lil' or 'young' in their name. Not a coincidence that they happen to be from the South (nothing against the South). I used to hate Lil Wayne, now I can appreciate some of his work.

Somebody convert me into a 'Lil' or 'Young' ______ fan.

[Asiantastic]

Lil Wayne has an iPhone.

Love him.

I don't like using or paying for data on a phone, so I don't pay for it and I have a $12 per month cell phone plan. Convince me that I need data when WIFI is all around me.

Lil Anthony and the Imperials
Lil Johnny Taylor

Young Rascals

Emergencies

What happens when there's no wifi and there's an emergency?

Where would there be an emergency where you need the internet/other shit and a call can't suffice?

don't agree with enayes though.

[andgar923]

You hated the Beatles?

Yeah

I grew up on them, so everything my mom listened to I began to hate. I got into my 'punk' rock stage and really began to hate them. Thought they were 'boring' and corny. Didn't understand what the big deal was, never 'got' them nor cared about them.

It wasn't until I started to study music and produce/compose myself that I began to see why they were praised.

Same with Radiohead.

Hated the whiny sounding queer/emo music. thought they were for girls and pretentious snobs. But like with the Beatles, I got them when I started to educated myself about music and learned new admiration as I started to produce.

Til this day, I can't for the life of me compose something with the same mood that 'Pyramid Song' provides... simply amazing song.

Well...perhaps not an emergency. But say you get lost and need to get directions or pull up a map.

Also depending on your location and weather around you, it can be important to know up to the minute weather since it can change from the time one left the house.

Also might seem trivial, but up to the minute news.

I've been in situations in which it was important to know up to the minute news (I lived in L.A. all my life and some shit is always happening. Need to know what, when, where, who for safety i.e. earthquake, fires... I now live in Ottawa and needed information on the Parliament shooting for safety purposes).

There's a number of reasons Im sure some will add.

[andgar923]

Absolutely none of that is important.

To you.

That's all convenient to have but def not worth the extra $60 a month, at least for me

Which basically means you never let anyone convince you unless it's so clear that you can't resist it anymore. You are the last one I would expect to open this thread.

Do you produce anything good or did you just become a snob?

He is a creative individual.
