With regards to me, I wasn't slagging him. I actually
quite glad that he has moved into other territories
than drill n bass. I liked the downtempo jazz stuff
alot!

Who cares who he is making it for. Any individual has
the right to share their opinions on what they get out
of the music..whether it is bad or good.

That's too bad, that these artists don't get better
compensated.

I would stop worrying what other people think. If they
like it or dislike, what does it matter?

censored, or supressed.
Gee I remember when people could accept differences of
opinion and discuss them intelligently without taking
offense.
