come on dan...
"The Okayplayers that I do have a problem with are the aggressive, dissatisfied (to the point of being hateful), frustrated, narcissistic ones (there is also a passive aggressive/narcissistic variation of this archetype). These bitter, third wave Okayplayers are usually (or unusually) frustrated artists, producers, journalists and bloggers who have yet to see their work acknowledged in a way they feel is meaningful. Most of these people have no way of nuancing their social selves and are largely unknown outside the message boards of a select number of online communities or the heads of their bitter progeny. They're the backseat drivers, the armchair quarterbacks, couch potato A&R's who won't shut the fuck up. Their refrains go something like this: "Yall gonna catch a brick", "That's why yall went wood", "The Roots are meh", " I stopped listening to them after Illadelph", "Thought is boring"....yada.... yada...fucking yada. It would be cool if these lames said that shit twenty times and disappeared into the hip hop abyss that is the comment section of rival sites.
Instead for these fucks, Okayplayer has become some weird part of their "Primal Scream Therapy". They are drawn here hour after hour, day after day, year after year, to clear their fucked conscience. For them, I pray and pray for their downfall. They are the worst elements, lowering the bar of support to the point that a regular fan feels comfortable saying semi-foul shit."
that's for you Dan....
hate all you want.
