why was it cool for d'greg to come off like he did? my point was that why are you holding artists to a higher standard than BB? skillz sufficiently explained why he wrote publicly to the whole board. d'greg tried to shit on him on the board, but then wrote him a letter and shit on a much more humble tip, when he should have done that from jump. i don't give a damn if someone is or isn't established, has platinum plaques has lots of respect, whatever. people are people, you treat them with respect and you deserve to be treated with respect. bblock did not approach him that way, thus he left himself open for attack. that is on him. don't attack skillz for popping back, attack bblock for putting on two faces, one for the "boards" and one for skillz in private (PAUSE). my point is, skillz was no more wrong than bblock.

ok but it wasn't about ego tripping or skillz following....bblock is going to shit on his song publicly and say he can do better...that's some cocky ass talk for a kid who's never made a song in the business...where is HIS humility? like i said, come with respect, get treated with it...don't say "yeah bblock talked shit" then let him off the hook for however skillz responded...

if he wanted to get the nigga back, all

again. bblock wanted to offer his production for skillz...was insulting him the best way to go about it? if not a private message, why couldn't he at least say "i have some beats that i'd like to let you hear, tell me what you think" or something like that....skillz didn't come LOOKING for block, block came looking for him...

or you can do what he did? what requires him to take the high road? are you the judge of all conduct? my problem is with the attitude that just because you're "Famous" or "an artist" you should take bullshit from people off the street and dismiss it....what for? i'd understand if skillz put bblock on blast w/out provocation, but we all know that's not how it went down...

please, shit can be started up from absolutely nothing. all quotes and jokes aside, nobody can say i don't comment intelligently...you confuse me with your bredren.
