Noone asked you to change your opinion. That's why it's YOUR opinion in the first place.

That's true to a certain extent. But I doubt that your post will help a lot. It bothers me too sometimes, and I'm sure more people here hate it (a few have left becos of this). But my point is : I feel more offended by your post, cos it's so unidirectional and even more narrowminded than the people you criticise.

>Chances are your some of

That's exactly what I mean. This is pure fascism. You simply don't insult people like this. Why ? It's called politeness, respect and understanding. Not only for other people, but also for this place and its .... GUIDELINES !!!

>See it from my perspective

So ? What would be your reaction to a person who just heard "Untitled" and remarks it sounds exactly like Prince, thus concluding that D'Angelo is nothing but a Prince clone ?

All I'm saying is : until you've heard a complete album of Bilal, don't judge.
I simply haven't heard enough of Bilal to be able to judge it. Yes, his singing may refer to D's on LWFC sometimes, but on 6th Sense Bilal definitely doesn't sound like D. So what are you saying ? CAN you judge Bilal's singing ? Are you in a position to do so, to come with a serious, balanced, intelligent critique of his music ?

I feel I'm not, I'm waiting for Bilal to drop an album, I'll wait until then to say whether I dig it or not. And IF Bilal would sound very much like D (as in : "being on a similar vibe"), that would actually make me very happy.

Yes, I do know the word 'rip off', but I'm also familiar with the term 'similar vibe', which is not a bad thing at all if it means quality music.

>Every Fucking time
>I voice my opinion Im
>the bad hating motherfucking.

Yes, but don't act like this has nothing to do with the way you deliver things. If you want a thoughtful, respectful answer, using the vocab you do ain't gonna help much. I KNOW that even if you would voice your opinion politely, you'll still have people being disrespectful and dickriding, but does that mean you have to be disrespectful too ? You're just letting the negativity influence your posting, instead of just doing what you want and saying what you want to say.

>Fuck all you that feel
>this way Im not hating
>alright.

If you understand how people communicate, you should see the irony and sarcasm in your statements.

Glad for you. But if you don't give a shit about what other people think, why even bother posting it ?
Especially since you're such a busy man right now.

HAHAHA. So most people agreeing with ?uest are doing so primarily cos they're kissing his ass ?
That's exactly the same thing as people saying you're hating everytime you don't like something.
So you're not offering any alternative to the narrow mindstate that's present on these boards, but doing EXACTLY THE SAME THING that you hate on these boards.

How can you expect people to change if you contribute to the negativity yourself ?
