Well said. I’m tired of artists and their hype machines coming on here and calling anyone that says anything contstructive, but non positive about their track a hater. I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again…YES MEN will be the death of any artist. Good for your ego, bad for the music.

Another well thought out, well written piece.

Criticism, when constructive, is essential in entertainment. Those who care about your work will criticize it. You don’t want blind followers who don’t see anything that can be improved about your art. And like Uduak implied, if it does not make any sense to you after analyzing the criticism and you don’t see how it applies to your art, it’s straight up “hateration.” Don’t let it stop you from feeling good about your work.

criticism! its da nature of da business…

anti-criticism is da beginning of failure/redundancy….and elements of a constructive criticism should be viewed as a challenge by artiste…..criticism should be taken as “THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN” affair….as “out of da mouth of a multitude a matter is confirmed”….

on the other hand, an invitation to critiq an artiste should not be seen as an opportunity by rivals to settle scores by tearing down….as wat goes around comes around….Karma!

keep repping, uduak….well said!
