*smh* Sometimes I Wonder...

I think that sometimes people don't speak their opinions for fear of being labeled a hater. I think that if you mindlessly and maliciously go at someone, or scrutinize their work, you may be a hater. But I think if you can talk about something with legitimacy, tact and support, you should be free to speak your opinion and be respected for it.

I say that because as you know, I have a hard time listening to local artists. I know that sounds so f*cking backwards and wrong, me being a local artist and all. But there is this keep fear of hearing wackness that I often can't shake. Well today I said 'EFF IT' and I clicked on this link from FTDMVO:

FTDMVONLY EXCLUSIVE...BDR (OY BOYZ)

Listen for yourself. The shit is just not good. And I can promise that I listened with an open mind and I really wanted to hear something hot and different. But I heard the same old stuff. The hook was monotonous and barely harmonic. The word "swagg" was used so many times, I felt like I was listening to a Lil Wayne karaoke song. The flow was basic and done before. There were few punchline and none were very inventive. And I made all of these conclusions after hearing the song 3 times. Is that enough times, maybe not. But how many times should you have to listen to a song to come up with a remotely viable critique?

On the post, Judah says:

Can't really understand why he wasn't on some of yall list for most anticipated DMV emcees for 09........... but then again I know why!!!!!

So do I. XO, Ra, JE, G*Two, Ice, Complete, Wale, Tabi, Mouse**... these people are bringing something new to the table. I'm not impressed with this guy. And apparently the "Oy Boys" are a big deal in the area so I may be able to lose alot of fans and damage future relationships. But, I'm not really too concerned. If you think this guy is hot, I'm not sure what we would talk about anyway. *shrugs*

I guess I'm on my Charles Hamilton sh*t right now.
