I hate puffy.
how much do I hate puffy?

there's an Aretha Franklin song on her "rose is still a rose album"
that's really good. It's called "I'll never leave you again"
I love this song. well last week I checked the liner notes...
turns out it was cowritten and produced by puffy.

I was devastated.
I'm going to assume he paid for that credit.
I have to.



don't get me started on dre.
who went solo and turned george Clinton's rebel music
Into sociopathic easy listening. The hip hop equivalent of Kenny g.

Fuck dr. dre.








but hip hop is more than those 2 artist.
bomb squad doesn't fall into that category.
dilla doesn't either.

and I know you don't like him,
but kanye is pretty brilliant.

and on MBDTF, those songs he sampled sounded nothing like the originals.
and what he created was great.




it's bullshit to compare him to puffy and dre,
who (arguably) destroyed hip hop by themselves.
okay, not really. but seriously... they really did some bad things...


kanye's differeent.
