23. "This dood says he's approaching 40..."
In response to In response to 13


          

yet he doesn't realize that this is the ongoing, endless struggle of the music industry. Artists evolve and change, the music industry evolves and changes. And *ghasp* musicians are ("holy shit!!") human and at times, they contradict themselves...or, more aptly, they just happen to CHANGE and GROW and EVOLVE as they get older.

Not to mention, hip hop by it's very nature is competitive and almost every rap act has had it's complaints about the current state of the industry. Christ, Common, who seems to be on bentagain's hit list, made his CAREER off of complaining about the state of hiphop, and this was DURING bentagain's stated "golden era". So, if Common was part of the golden era where "everything was good then", why would he have so many complaints (I Used to Love HER, specifically) at the time?

Your argument holds no ground. Give it up. Kweli isn't doing what you want him to do, I'm sorry it makes you so upset. Listen to something else.
