people come on here and think that just because they have an opinion, the whole world wants to know about it. quest has an incredibly hectic schedule and STILL finds the time everyday to try and address every question he can on the boards. now tell me this.. you want him to reply kindly to everything when the same questions are posted over and over and people can't read the archives? what about when someone disses something he's spent a lot of time working on, (i.e., shows, albums, reviews, the diary, etc.)? how would you like it if your EVERY move was critiqued? his work is like his child.. and if it was me and someone was insulting my child, i'd definitely come back strong. most of the time, he's too easy on people anyhow. now i'm not saying you have to agree with him all the time..or any of the time. hell, you could HATE his music, for all i care.. but there is something called respect. and tact. you could say.. "you know, i really don't think that this song is good for so and so reasons.." vs. "questlove is WACK." everyone around here knows that quest is always down for a good music debate/discussion, as long as its brought along in the right fashion.
how many artists do you know that take their fans out for meals, games of lazer tag, shows, etc.?
give me 5 other hip-hop artist sites where you can interact with the artists EVERYDAY like you do here. bet you can't. i've never known a site like okayplayer and i've been on the internet a LONG time.
how many artists like to sit in a chat at 6am when they could be sleeping because they just love the people that come to their site and want to interact?
he's not perfect..and he does not claim to be. he is just human..so why don't you start treating him as one with some basic respect? he's a pretty fair guy when you give him the chance, instead of smothering him with insults, disses, cheap shots, and critiques.
peace and blessings, maria.
