I didn't address the person who started the thread because I don't appreciate their opinion on music enough to speak to them. Generally, I only respond to people who I respect on here. You see me in the middle of a lot of these posts by Chrishawn? Nope. Sometimes I succumb to responding to some dumb shit, but generally I only respond to people who are trying to make a reasonable argument that I completely disagree with. If someone says "Puff Daddy is the best lyricist", I'm not going to bother addressing it.
as for the primo/jay dee thing, that was mainly under the thread where you proclaimed Jay Dee the best producer ever. Basically, it looked like you were downplaying Primo's 10-plus years of producing with the "same drum sounds" argument, but without issuing the same level of critical analysis to Jay Dee's discography (i.e. Primo has weaknesses, but Jay Dee has none? You didn't list any weaknesses for jay, so that is the implication made). Here, you listed Marvin's weaknesses but didn't list D'Angelo's weaknesses, as if D is perfect. THAT'S my problem. You never (or very rarely) turn your critical analysis on your own folks when comparing them to others. You heard? Sure, you can clown R. Kelly in comparison to D, but D doesn't have flaws? God is the only one with no flaws....
Thoughtfully yours,
