hey, you ever see someone that can sing very well, but don't have lyrics to back it up (hmm, christina aguilera comes to mind)
remember that kid in tae kwon do that was like a brown belt in class and had perfect form, but steady gettin his ass beat at school
what about that kid in high school with the perfect hurdle form but got left in the dust in every race on the weekends
how about that 6'5" guy on the ball team that couldn't dunk a ball
or that kid that could throw a baseball 99 mph but couldn't throw a strike if he tried
or that girl in history class that tries to impress with her verbosity but aint sayin shit
or a pilot with perfect marks in flight school that'll get his ass shot out the sky by a kid with a bbgun hiding on the land below
writing well means nothing if you aren't saying anything. critics are just another opinion, cept they get paid for their's and somehow people think that validates their's more.
i don't think tolkien was a very good writer, but i enjoyed the stories and socio-political allegory nonetheless.
i'm not a mystery, i make myself very plain. very plain.
them two albums are trash compared to previous efforts. if you think otherwise rap aint your mainstay, you're a johnny come lately as far as jumping on the train of their music, or you don't mind and even sometimes like substandard shit.
which is fine. what's to get worked up and defeatist aboot?
