Dear Major Hip Hop Fans,

Stop worrying about the opinions of others and "buzz", and just listen to music you enjoy listening to. Also, stop worrying about sales from artists you aren't seeing any money from.

Dear critics of major hip hop fans,

We the fans want hip hop to be at the forefront of music. In order to do this, casuals must be involved, no matter how "uncool" they may seem to those purists. We don't want sales and/or buzz to dwindle because this leads to artists going off the deep end creatively. I don't mean that in a good way. We the fans, want major projects to remain major projects to push the envelope of the genre. I mean that in a good way.

"Also, stop worrying about sales from artists you aren't seeing any money from." I think you are misunderstanding my point. I don't care how much money he is making. I want good music to be heard by the masses. If albums leak piece by piece, it's bad for the artist as well as the genre.

Respectfully,
THE MACHINE

As a Day 1 Ye fan I will always check for his work no matter what. "Yeezus" was a mess, "Cruel Summer" had dope singles but the rest of the album was all over the place. "Watch the Throne" was solid but not game changing considering it was Jay and Ye together. "All Day" did kind of grow on me though. To me it can't get much worst than "Yeezus". As for the title, "Swish" obviously Basketball comes to mind but the word has several of meanings. Again Ye is a Living Legend so it's a first day cop but no more passes from me Ye. I give you a get out of jail free card for "Yeezus" but my patience is wearing thin, lol. Liked that "Real Friends" joint.
