i hope ypu realize thats YOUR interpretation. weirdo to me is just someone who is coming outside the normal paradigm. no problem with that at all.

i listen to alot of weirdo shit. but all my boys dont. so i know cats who grew up listening to rakim, kool g, krs, slick rick etc and can quote classic verses verbatim who don't know company flow, deltron 3030, freestyle fellowship etc. they know divine styler because the time he dropped it was only but so many videos on tv but i digress....

my point was that you could be a fan of lyricism and never even been exposed to those albums...not to mention if you did the production on some of the records is so far out there is people who been listening to the "normal" stuff its just not going to resonate with.

peace
