He disses Swizz beats. Have you heard a Swizz beats track? He's wack. He mentions Siagon but i hardly perceive that as a diss. That interview reads like two dudes talking. It was casual. You're acting like Blockhead went out of his way to shoot people down. I also clicked your link and checked your twitter. where you're dissing artists just the same. Joss Stone, Damon Dash (and that's just the first 15 tweets or so) I dunno bro, you sound like a bitter fan or a scorned artist right now. Regardless, I've never heard anyone complain so much about the things that are irking you right now. Did Blockhead fuck your girl or something? Let it go. Not everyone loves everything.

I just think he's playing himself. There's room for everyone in the pool and I can't support such negativity, especially when expressed so brazenly in public.

Since when are artists not allowed to voice their opinion? IF anything, I'd say an artists opinion on music , if unaffected, is more valid that any "Critic". Also, who is he dissing exactly? I read his blog and this interview. He disses Lil' Wayne and Lady GaGa. I honestly don't understand how you're taking him saying "old rap is better" as a slight at his contemporaries , when he's obviously just stating his preference. Where is he “changing hats”?

If he thinks shit is weak that's fine but it doesn't give his music more value to point out what he perceives to be the lack of value of his contemporaries. From a critic those things are expected (unfortunately) but from an artist it's unacceptable; he can't change hats when it's convenient for him. That's dishonest. That’s not the point.

The dude has opinions. Anyone who thinks hip hop today is anywhere near as good as the old stuff is pretty much a complete idiot. That's not a "Shtick" , it's a fact. Great interview. I personally like the guys blog more than his music anyway! What are you guys complaining about? The dude has opinions.

Its quite phenomenal. His "old rap is better" shtick isn't cool to me, but some of the music he's responsible for is classic shit. And as far as Aesop's production, DID NONE OF YOU LISTEN TO FELT'S NEW RECORD??????? Its the best in the series.
