I didn't want to link it at first because it was a bit much and imply that I agreed with the race-baiting stuff, but I thought it was slightly relevant. Still, it might not have been the best look when I wrote this.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486617482851964733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909172332471452387.post-67322717927491666742009-11-19T01:08:40.688-05:002009-11-19T01:08:40.688-05:00man that CJ post looks even dumber now than it did...man that CJ post looks even dumber now than it did back when. was tom really totally out of line for saying lil wayne was on par with jay-z? no one would even question that now. this was some bullshit old head east coast bias -- no one now would question the idea that lil wayne is on jay's level, and even back then it wasnt considered 'crazy.' & how stupid does CJ look defending that piece of trash late era jigga album now? i found a lot of tom's writing on status to be corny on occasion but that attack piece was poor.Davidhttp://somanyshrimp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909172332471452387.post-83570431742451201552009-11-10T05:02:51.508-05:002009-11-10T05:02:51.508-05:00by the way, not to sound like a punk with the &quo...by the way, not to sound like a punk with the "with people" bit, wasn't trying to diss your music taste or anything, just poor phrasingTrey Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16589006200813108939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909172332471452387.post-88954082924251930252009-11-10T04:58:39.805-05:002009-11-10T04:58:39.805-05:00i mean i feel like it's just a difference in a...i mean i feel like it's just a difference in approach to reviewing stuff. i do think Breihan doesn't think some of his opinions through too seriously, hyping bullshit like that BEP single and using "guilty pleasure" as a copout for example, but i appreciate his writing because it's detailed without being over-analytical, something i associate with people who still haven't completely accepted the paradigm shift Wayne and to a lesser extent Kanye's styles have made in the genre. i don't feel like it's a less serious approach, it's just the opinion that not everything has to have equally dope punchlines and a calculated flow/narrative to be great. personally i prefer more spontaneity but that's just me.<br /><br />it's like the whole Wayne vs. MF Doom comparisons. i feel like Wayne is what MF Doom would be if he were actually relatable or interesting at all. i don't particularly care about delving into and picking apart lyrics if the rest of the music/style doesn't grab me, cuz then it stops being entertainment. that's basically how i feel about Ghost, even though if given the choice i'd listen to him over a Doom, who i just find boring as fuckTrey Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16589006200813108939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909172332471452387.post-73603469637155748622009-10-08T09:46:43.980-04:002009-10-08T09:46:43.980-04:00I agree with your opinion that the Ghost album sho...I agree with your opinion that the Ghost album should have gotten at least a 7 something. Breihan kinda pulled an Ian Cohen - have some entertaining writing that is kinda, sorta...maybe! legitimate and then lose complete credibility when you give an album that is OK an under 6 or 5 rating.<br /><br />I'm not a huge fan of the Ghost album. I found some of the production to be simply boring and I actually like some of the radio R&B out there (Ne-Yo, Ryan Leslie, The-Dream). But it didn't deserve the rating it got.JKhttp://concerningthis.comnoreply@blogger.com
