2643749, Aight chop it up on this paragraph

"The story simply chooses to ignore the truth that timing, image, management and an ability to generate buzz in varying mediums are just as important as rap ability in these times where blog hits determine a rapper's worth as much as sales. Odd Future's (and Drake before them) well-documented rise to notoriety happened by way of social media savvy and a flood of critically lauded releases via various top Rap blogs. Neither Tyler's nor Drake's respective paths to fame were the byproducts of being reared in inner city environs.'

It's so fucking interesting to me that this paragraph says nothing about talent, skill, ability. Instead you've used 'inner city environs' as the elder fundamental which has been replaced by media buzz. In other words 'inner city environs' have replaced skills.

Discuss.

PS I'm DAing!!!
