Ignorant Philly op-ed writer thinks Jam Master Jay was some kind of gangster. "Yes, I know that he was a pioneer who helped create that cacaphonic genre. And that he was a good rapper, whatever that means." Yeah, Jam Master Jay was a great rapper. That's why Joe and Darryl had him hide behind the turntables--they were worried his rhymes would steal the show. I had to look at the
.pdf to verify that that spelling of 'cacophonic' appeared in the source material. I know what a cac
ophony is. And, for that matter, I know what caca is. Which way is more embarrassing, pun or spelling error? From later in the same op-ed: "Why not fashion a less glamorous obituary which focuses on the fact that he was also a married man who now leaves behind a widow and three hopelessly scarred orphans?" Uh, I think they have a mother, champ. Did anyone even edit this thing? Not everyone is as concerned with perfection, I suppose, as Run-DMC.
