2523165, I wouldn't say I'm taking it personally

Because as I said I'm fine with people liking what they like.

But I will admit I ride hard for Dam. I just really like the way the cat carries himself and respect what he's trying to do. I'm very aware of his shortcomings but I think we tend to go in harder on someone trying to come at things a little differently. Just because we don't understand where they are going or feel what they're feeling doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the shit the are putting out. If he was some pandering artist chasing radio play and looking for mass approval it might be different.... but dude is taking music that hasn't been all that hot or popular and reviving it with a modern twist. Again I don't expect everyone to dig it but I do feel the need to defend him when I feel he's unfairly criticized.
