Scammer: Dank

[dank]

Uh, no, I made the song.  I never agreed to use her tab.

[greyhawk]

this is not how songs work

Okay, lets label Jimi Hendrix a scammer because he didn't play the Star Spangled Banner properly.

The whole problem is that you think that what he did is the same as you do.
It takes a non-tonedeaf person to know the difference.

Maybe you can ask him some tips when you asstrally project to the 'other' reality, huh?

Are the Butthole Surfers scammers because they didn't play "American Woman" properly?

Anybody who remixed a song must be a scammer because they changed the lyrics.  Makes sense.

Hey, they have a rhythm and their guitar is tuned.
So at least you can call this music.

If you believe that having rhythm and being guitar based is necessary for music to not be labelled a "scam" then do you consider John Cage's 4'33" a "scam"?

Or would I be a committing a scam if I did a cover of 4'33" which wasn't quite as silent as Cage's? Or that anyone's performance of this piece that is not absolutely silent is a scam?

Music is whatever the creator says it is. If you don't like it, so be it. But don't call it a scam. Commissioning works of art is always a gamble, and the only right a patron should have is withholding payment if it's not what they wanted.

The difference, Dank, is that when he played it PEOPLE COULD TELL WHAT SONG IT WAS!  Which is the complete oposite of what happens when you 'play'.

Sounds like a problem on your end, sounds like the song to me.

You're a fool who's too lazy to read other posts, MildBill. Stop reproducing old arguments and either address the current discussion or come up with a new argument. You're wrecking the fun.

I was saying it because both rhythm and tuning are forms of structure.
One of the most basic definitions of music is that it is structured sound. Not a lot of structure in Danks sound...

btw i never talked about a scam.
I was just describing the facts of what Dank calls music.
And i cannot call it music by any reasonable definition except his own.
You can call a twig a tree, but that doesn't make it so.
But if he can find people that want to buy it then that is his right as long as people understand what they can expect. Otherwise i would call it scamming.

Uh, no, I made the song.  I never agreed to use her tab.

You did agree to provide a custom beat for 420, though, and then failed to do so because you "didn't have time".

Either you're outright lying when you say you're going to do stuff or you say you're going to do shit having no idea of what's involved and then when you find it's beyond your capabilities you come up with lame and transparent excuses about why you didn't do what you said you were going to do.  Your world's biggest music festival crap will be no exception - you're actively lying when you say it's going to happen this year and you know it.  And if actively lying about what you're going to do doesn't make you a scammer then I don't know what does.

And he didn't pay me for it.  It's not like he contracted me.

The more often you say you're going to do shit and give weasel excuses for not following through, the more you look like a compulsive liar rather than just an idealistic 18 year old who doesn't have a clue about how how much effort is involved in making your dreams a reality.

[dank]

You have no clue how much effort I put into things.

[CharlieContent]

You have no clue how much effort I put into things.

Well that is even more pathetic, because clearly your best isn't good enough.

You're not going to be a famous musician. You aren't going to be a famous anything.

You're a nobody, a complete non-entity. When you die, you will turn to dust and soon after everyone will have forgotten that you ever existed.

You're nothing. Just like your father.

[repentance]

Well why don't you enlighten us regarding what effort you've put into the world's biggest ever musical festival so far?  How many artists have you signed up?  Where's it going to be held?  Have you found contractors to build the stage?  Organised the sound equipment and people to operate it?  Is the laser equipment booked yet?  How many portable toilets have you ordered?  Who will be providing security? 

Something must have made you suddenly too busy to put together a custom beat.  Why don't you tell us what it was?

He had to fly to England to convince Jim Morrison's former roadie to help him put on the greatest show that Aurora, Illinois has ever seen.

lol, that's a little harsh. Relatively speaking, dank is semi-famous in bitcoin securities and lending. More than can be said about you, CharlieContent!

dank will surely find success somewhere between the hookah bar, the weed growing op, and his musical aspirations. Somebody get this guy some adderall from SR for his ADD!

Really though, dank just needs a better pitch for his HYIP. Why not stick with the tried and true "market arbitration"? How did the sex change pitch work out for that transsexual guy? Maybe team up with herm..
