IRT, the nihilism, concept, etc...

was that your impression when KRS spit that line 15-20 years ago

'then they wind up shooting they cousin, and they buggin'

you obviously put alot of thought into your reply

but this is where you lost...


"But it isn't perfect and that's probably what makes it the most difficult. I'm probably not the only one but I'm so tired of hearing plodding drums on Roots projects. Even if they are crisp and strong sounding when they just plod along all sparse I just keep thinking c'mon.... give the drummer some. Then the singers are all so (sorry) tone deaf it just kills me. Like I know that the quirky not quite on key shit is hip right now, but for me its just a huge disconnect. Get some strong vocalists and some fucking harmonies on those hooks and you could sell the message better. Lastly it's hard to believe Black Thought and even Dice on this mainly because they are spitting the same as when they aren't doing the lyrical theme for the album. Like the spit is raw but the content of it doesn't emote proper. Porn is the saving grace in this respect because he is able to embody the emotion of the characterization."

^^^why would anything else even matter

if it's not good, why can't we just say it's not good

SON! It's not a good album.

You can get all insightful, reach for logic about the deeper meaning of the lyrics, concept, etc...

but when we're talking about music

if the music isn't good, why would any of this other BS plea cops that folks are quick to hide behind even factor in

MFers tryin' to convince themselves to like it
