First I'd like to reply to the part about needing soul
to make the music what I personally would call real,
and first and foremost, for me makes the music more
enjoyable.....it is possible to have a very simple
sounding song be quite brilliant....my posts about the
technics used by RDJ ON DRUKQS (I wasn't calling him
an all around bad artist) was about how I PERSONALLY
(and if you go back and look you'll see I really
stressed that it was my PERSONAL opinion) could
understand the reviewers opinion "because his new
noise mostly just sounds fukqed up."
Then when I got technical about it all I was trying to
say was that I PERSONALLY get next to nothing from
it...the album does have its moments and I did say
that in my original post, but I PERSONALLY think you'd
have to be a drum machine to think that a lot of those
songs have any "soul"....I know im not alone on this,
a lot of people have spoken there opinions of
disappointment of the album, and criticism comes with
the territory....its part of being an artist, and it
can help you grow as one....and in the post about
"burning bridges" I would tell Richard the same thing
and Im sure I would either get a "fuck off" or maybe
even an open ear because in the world of music
SOMETIMES an outside look is warranted and welcome...
Im sure when I ship out my release to the good people
of this list in NOV. (you're all welcome to a copy)
there will be plenty of people who have negative and
positive opinions about it...and I will welcome all
comments....not all may be taken to heart, but it is
part of the ever constant evolution of the musical
artist.
Lets try not to get so personal next time, the thread
started out with a simple debate and welcome comments
and opinions and turned into a mild flame war....
