if you're not supposed to like him, then why are his rhymes so fucking awesome? If he truly 'wanted' people not to like him, he'd make wack rhymes and beats. Or he'd just be a garbage man, or a serial killer. the fact that he charges cash money for his shit is ... you know, villainous.

And no matter how pissed you are about the show being wack, what the hell is anyone gonna do about it?

I think a lot of people are gonna never pay money to him ever again, and he's gonna have to quit the game eventually. And become a garbage man.
Dylemma I don't mean to single you out but your opinion is one I've come up against a few times, and I find it a little odd. At the same time I see where you're coming from. If you see an insect and you know it's a scorpion, and you know scorpions can sting you, but you pick it up anyways and it stings you, don't be surprised.
Now I'm no longer talking about you Dylemma. Sometimes I wonder, when I meet with this opinion where people seem to be defending Doom because "Hey, he
said he's a villain, he
said he wants to destroy rap." I wonder if these people are just blinded by how much they love Doom. Maybe the reason I'm battling so hard against this opinion is because I'm in serious danger of it myself, because I'm kind of a fan boy too. But isn't this kind of like....
Okay imagine this scenario. This guy buys a gun and ammo, loads it up, goes out to the town square, yells "I'm gonna kill everyone!" and then proceeds to start shooting people. The analagous opinion would be "Well, you know he
said he was gonna do that, so why are you surprised?" I guess the fallacy is, the fact that you shouldn't be surprised isn't the same as it being okay to do that. You know what I mean? It's not okay for the guy to shoot everyone, even though he announced that he would. He gave 'fair' warning.
Or here's my last example: I can't remember who it is but I think Raekwon? Someone from the Wu anyways, the thing about "I'll sew your asshole shut and just keep feedin you, and feedin you.." etc etc. So if Raekwon came along and actually did that, you'd say "Well, you know he
said he was gonna do that"...? How is it much different with Doom? We all assume Raekwon is not
actually going to sew anyone's asshole shut, right? Basically he's fronting when he says that, he's exaggerating. Same with the whole "I'm a supervillain" thing from Doom. Except then he actually does it, but not in the form of taking over the world in a comic book-type of way, but instead by pretty much stealing money
from his fans.
But it'll sort itself out somehow, and soon I figure. Either it's a publiticy stunt and he'll make up for everything by releasing the best album EVER, or no one will ever go to his shows or buy his albums anymore and his income will dry up. Or he'll finally own up to being really sick, or hooked on crazy drugs or whatever it is he's being secretive about.
but yo, it sure is interesting though
