It really wasn't on some show me your music knowledge shit. I was genuinely intrigued by the subject, but upon reading didn't know what the fuck bammer was talking about. I mean his primary examples are two rappers and a sampled song, but the subject was chords and scales and he didn't mention either one inside the post I felt like I'd been duped. Or more specifically I felt like there was a question that bammer wanted to ask. But there was no question, no statement on the relations, just typical bannerisms with a sly slight thrown in for good measure.

But he started with examples without exemplifying them. How am I supposed to know what he means?
