You know i've gotten to Mr. Apex when he goes for the ad hominems.

I took your strawman and said hip hop isn't music.
You came back trying to push it into the music box.

Now you're trying to save face.

I love it.

I'm a pathological liar.

Are you trying to push me into some kind of consistency box?

C'mon playboy, do better than that.

It's small minded, and I know you're sharper than that.
