Just because you own a well worn thesaurus doesn't mean you're dope. Just because you don't know what a multi is, doesn't mean you're wack. It comes down to what the artist's goal was, and whether or not they achieved it. If 2 Chainz aimed low and hit his target, I can rock with it. If Lupe aimed high and missed, I can't fukk with it. Shoot me.
So you're proud to rock with what dubya called the soft bigotry of low expectations. If Lupe came out mumbling about I'm a star, in a big car, etc like Ross you'd be but because he came out with a drug dealing song that uses skateboarding as a metaphor you think he was a skater Only in hip hop is any attempt at doing something better or something different reflexively dismissed as gimmicky. The end result of this approach is to be comfortable with people as long as they're not trying to be artists of any significance. It's contemptible.
I can't take you serious until you pan all the wackness on the radio were discussing Lupe right now not everybody on the radio.
Again, my point is the only people catching negative commentary from some of these dudes are Lupe, etc. It reminds me of extreme leftists fighting mainstream liberals when they have a common mainstream enemy. "you're not as good as you should be".. meanwhile that guy over there, is trash!! But not catching all this flack.
And at wanting to take people on the internet seriously your much better than this zero.
well, if they're making a judgement about music I assume they're thinking what they're saying. for all of neworleans21's faults, at least he does that much.
