Cos hey, why bother talking about what’s good and why it’s good and why certain things are bad when you can snigger about what’s mediocre and pretend it’s all equally godlike? Fuckin hipster cunts fucking it all up for everyone forever: not to piss on your parade pricks, this rag-mag bullshit’s fine if your life is spent giggling about pop, but for those of us who need it to make life worth living it’s simply not good enough.

FOUR. So, no new clichés for a while now. Plenty of topicality, linguistic gimmickry, sharpness, fashion. No style, no real talk, no timelessness. Lies, generalities and gossip , but no truth, about love. Too much judgement and smart-arsedness, as if love isn't way too complicated to merely write through, think through, sing yourself better with. Like bereavement it will put potholes in the pavement for your dumbass facade & give you a reason to tumble down. But most pop about love is now about preparation, redemption, making sure you come out on top, paid, self-pity intact, moving on. Makeover music, self-help music, in pop 2010 there's plenty of knowledge of how emotion looks and can be described, and a total lack of any emotion.
lol @ this para basically being "not enough music is REAL"

i feel like he should embed some real offensive shit like 3/4 of the way thru his articles to test if his editors read his pieces all the way thru, cuz there's no way that they do right?

Oh right. Sorry to hear that. If it's any consolation it'll be amongst my last. Although I'd suggest, if you know you don't like my writing, as most of you seemed to have known for a while, can't imagine why you'd put yourself through it. I'd just avoid it if I were you. There is lots of writing out there about hip-hop that I'm sure chimes more with your own thoughts. Why not read that instead? Oh, and I genuinely don't think my badu piece is a 'pile of elephant crap' but cheers, that made me chuckle.

Loving this in the comments under the article btw: "not even infuriating, more just hilarious to know there is someone who is as much of a pathetic dipshit as you in this world".
The possible-titles for the book just keep coming thick'n'fast. Keep 'em comin!
