1. "I think it's technology" - Okay, no shit. Of course technology is improving and so the music climate changes. There are 3rd graders who realize this.
2. "Putting out quality material" - You haven't put out quality material since GRODT, so what quality material are we talking about here?
3. "Creatively, I can be complex" - No, you can't. You haven't proven this. Naming a song ghetto qu'ran does not equal complex creativity.
4. "Critic's perspective as opposed to a fan's perspective" - Yes, I agree with that. There are more rappers nowadays than fans.
I don't have time to admire rappers nor do I see a benefit in admiring rappers for their business qualities. Reading about 50 cent buying Vitamin Water shares doesn't give me the same satisfaction that "Many Men" did/does when I listen to it. Go to downtown Sydney, find a successful corp executive and tell him you respect his hustle.
