It's been a week or so since I've last expressed my thought's to you. Not because there was nothing to talk about, it was that I was not sure about what I was going to talk about first. In my short absence of sorts, I've thought about all of the sensitivity in music right now. The individuals who "don't worry about" or "make the haters their motivators" are the same ones who can't seem to take constructive criticism and move forward in a civilized manner.
It's not that someone is a jealous because of your progress, it's just that a person or people do not particularly like your "artistic work". In some cases, it's really the fact that a certain group of individuals may feel that you suck to put it into layman's terms. When approached with anything less than praise sufficient for the Pope, artist tend to really blow their top. In alot of cases, every composition is not the best work put forth or, it may not be what the listener is in the market for at that time. I don't believe that is worth jap-out's, hay maker's or stabbings, clubbings, gunshots and the list goes on. If the criticism comes from another artist, either step your game up or issue a musical challenge or duo of sorts. Instant gratification will be awaiting.
Artist have the right and they should defend their work, as well as I believe that consumers have the right to express their opinions on a piece of work if they purchase it if it is done a respectful manner. However, the days of someone SAYING "Dog, that isht was whack" and because of that I'm "hating" and it might get physical is absolutely ridiculous and can't move forward into the next decade. If the artist is profitable and prospering, then nonsense jibber should be brushed off unless deep down you know you set us up with that garbage. Common said on the album "Like Water For Chocolate" "I wonder if these whack niggas realize they whack?". No. I don't believe they do. And that's okay. I may not like it, but someone does. Just the same, I don't like that isht and you think that I should. Just relax and chill out. So, let's live by the Tupac driven, "I don't give a ckuff" attitude and not really give a ckuff if somebody doesn't like your work. As always, feel free to express your opinions and SPREAD THE WORD!
