Muninn: it was not my intent to offend, nor to come across as patronizing as i now realize i must have. it was a poor attempt at humor.

SticKboy: No, I was merely apologising for assuming he wasn't British in a previous retort. But hey, if you're spoiling for an argument... comments like yours make me think otherwise.

SticKboy: @ beemoh - I apologise profusely for assuming you were North American all this time. It makes half of my replies to you ignorant beyond belief. In future, I'll take a more reasoned stance.

"Because it’s alot easier for you ignorant assholes to just sit in your comfy chairs and just criticize rap because it’s alot easier than actually looking for talented rappers."
Its like this. There could be a fellow who is the greatest gay porn star ever, and thats all fine and dandy. But you see I'm not going to put effort into "actually looking for" said gay porn king, as I am not gay. So why do you think that someone should seek out something they have no interest in?
And for that matter I don't get my panties in a twist when someone says that Metal (my music of choice), sucks.
As for the lyrics themselves, yeah it seems like something Thompson would write were he a rapper. That is a rapper and more literate. But I would be curious to hear Mr. Fiasco's side of the tale on this one. Maybe he does have a different meaning that he is not very well getting across.
But this:
"Imagine if I had to console the families
of those slain I slayed on game consoles."
Rings a little too closely when someone cries out at the horror and violence committed on "those game people." As though, you know, they weren't fictional.
But in closing, yeah I think all rap (that I have heard to date) sucks. You are allowed to think that metal sucks and thats just dandy with me.
