Wiz Responds to Criticism to His O.I.N.C. Album Cover

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

i'd rather WIZ put on some FUNNY CLOTHES and experiement with his sounds then to do something really GIMMICKY such as getting caught with BRICKS on his tour bus or going out of his way to DISS another artist just for publicity..... i'm all for it....cause at the END OF THE DAY...

WIZ AIN'T GONNA HURT NOBODY BUT HIMSELF from a marketing standpoint....and THAT'S THE RISK HE'S WILLING TO TAKE and I RESPECT HIM FOR THAT....

it's a BUSINESS.....and the most important aspect of maintaining a BRAND is to ADAPT or display some GROWTH.....

Plus who knows...this could turn into something promising for him and his career.......only TIME WILL TELL

From the POV of.... this or a possessions charge... of course I will side with this

BUT

You are kind of falling for the trap... theres nothing indicating this album will have a new sound; you are making that assumption because dude "looks different" on his album cover. When there is a big chance it could just be the same old Top 40 garbage in a discussion-generating cover. So you have kind of proved dude's gimmick worked.

All I am waiting for now... is this non-musical azz nikka... to pick up a guitar, and receive credit for being "musical" and "alternative" without actually making any alternative music (to rap) and not at all mastering the instrument

I agree, its good dude is not on some gun runner shyt, though I bet if Amber told him to he would go that way. But the shyt is still a gimmick, that has nothing to do w/dude's music. Note, people are talking about the cover, nobody is talking about the music.

 

[NoCones]

Nobody gave a lazy fukk when 3000 was doin that wild shyt back in the Stankonia era, cause nikkas was

we didnt give a fukk cuz we was used to it by then. it was old news.

now BEFORE that, when aquemini was out, he got clowned regardless of the music

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

rolling papers was straight garbage and just from the album cover you can tell his album is gonna be on the same bullshyt.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

This nikka will go.out like chingy.... he corny as fukk and its becoming more visible.

People forget how many identity transformations this guy has already had.

 

[Hannibal Fox]

Dude. I have some of those albums that you listed on your last post.

I know the difference between what a real talent is and what a gimmick is.

Obviously, you don't, but to each is own.

I own those albums that I posted.

Whats gimmicky about it, or is it gimmicky because you don't like it?

If you have been following this guy since 06 you would have seen this coming.

What would you rather him do:

Pose with his hat back toting a pistol while hanging out the window of an S class complete with ice grill?

or

Wearing some funky garments looking like a member of Funkadelic?

Like I said you lot are over sensitive.

 

[DosCadenaz]

it does look like he's trying to tell us he's gay

And I'm saying that you fell for the trap.

[Tetris v2.0]

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

wats the story??

 

[flea]

its fukked up like

look at his rant

if you don't like his terrible taste in fashion and style u need to "grow" or you're embarassed to express yourself? NO

stop this shyt

u look like a fukking retard brah, like ur a 3 year old trying on ur grandmother and sisters clothing

get a fukkin identity brah

u should follow your own advice. youre fukking piece of shyt cracker from canada. behave like one.

 

[MoeDollaZ$]

John Hull I feel u, just seems kinda forced/not him

U gotta admit, dude has changed a bit since he got with Amber... not to say dudes shouldn't change when they get with somebody, but it seems like she is trying to mold him in the way Yeezly molded her

As far as all attention being good attention, no

When everyone was saying how terrible Lasers was, I dont think Lupe was happy, that didnt help him

When everybody was looking at 40 Glocc (check him out yall) pretending to be a shrub amongst shrubs, I dont think 40 was happy, that didn't help him

When Ras Kass's response to Game went viral, he wasn't happy, he was the first person I know to successfully remove a video from the internet

So Im not buyin that "Wiz is winning cause yall are talking about him" talk. Id rather be getting money than attention

the difference between those situations and this one is wiz knew what he was doing was gonna be controversial i dont think hes was really lookin at that outfit thinkin that shyt looks sick he probly just tryin to get sum buzz
