C'mon dude, free speech.

I haven't said one negative thing, but I have the right too. Just because they work hard, I can't criticize? I've busted my ass in life and I get criticized. It's life. I've written 150 reviews for Okayplayer, and I've been bashed on The Lesson just as much as ?uesto has. Just because they're artists we like doesn't mean they can't be called out.

I'm a music journalism. My career is based on criticism. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but if I have a negative opinion over something it's not because I'm hating... it's because I'm trying to be constructive so maybe the artist can do better the next time.


I hate all this "we can't criticize them on their own site" shit. It's not like we're doing it to hate. It's because our artists are held to a high standard they set themselves. It's motivation for them to do their best and not get lazy.
