Basically these are the same people who write these blogs, and regurgetate exactly what they've read elsewhere without even giving the music a chance.

If you go to a caspa show, its generally very busy full of people going mental. Is it really a crime to help people have fun as part of your job?

But we've reached a stage now where we seem to be having a discussion about a discussion over an article that discusses how much discussion there was about someone's album, that album was itself called Everybody's Talking, Nobody's Listening... classic.
This is the right answer.

yes

I don't mean he's trying to convert people..i'm saying that his readership is likely to agree with him.....i read the whol article hence feel qualified to read it...the only bits i diagreed with were what he said about mala, loefah & plastician but tbh this may just be his experience that he heard them playing a lot of hyp tunes...
