I'm looking for the good. I want stories. I want jokes. I want to read about people who went through some bad stuff and came out aight on the other side. I want to laugh about how wrong I/we/somebody was BEFORE about something but I/we/somebody 'gets it' now.

I want to make sure I don't completely fade away from newer music. I want to get put on still.

And yeah, I'm too old to be arguing back and forth for multiple messages with anybody. Lebron sucks to you? Cool cool. Some thing is soooooo much better than some other thing? And your whole shit is making up comparisons that aren't even necessary? Sweet. I'm a buckets type of person now. If I like it, I wanna hear more about it from other people who dig it too. If I don't like something, I'm out! AKA you ain't gonna find me swinging in on a rope to hate on some rapper/album IDGAF about. You know the ones that wanna show up and mess up a party on some ole 'this ain't that good. Yawl suck for liking this. This ain't better than my nostalgically enhanced concept of how good Illmatic is so I'm not gonna sit back and let you enjoy THIS!' type stuff.
