By on April 29, 2010 in Daily Mathematics, Uncategorized

You already heard how opinions are like assholes. I was invited by Complex.com to join a group of Internets Tastemakers to review Eminem’s 1st single “Not Afraid” off his upcoming Recovery album. The Consensus panel consists of yours truly, along with Miss Info (MissInfo.tv), Andrew Noz (CocaineBlunts.com), Jake Paine (HipHopDX.com), Nation (ItsTheCalm.com & NahRight.com), Dallas Penn (DallasPenn.com), Elliott Wilson (RapRadar.com), Robbie Ettelson (Unkut.com), Eskay (NahRight.com), John Gotty (The Smoking Section), Jeff Rosenthal (ItsTheReal.com), Meka (2DopeBoyz.com), Peter Rosenberg (RosenbergRadio.com), Nigel D. (RealTalkNY.net), Maurice Garland (MauriceGarland.com), and Noah Callahan-Bever (Complex).

I’m honored to be down with such an impressive group of cats that I really respect. Peep to see how we all felt about “Not Afraid”.

    Having Peter Rosenberg, is’nt he Eminems manager? Judging the merits of a new Eminem single, is a major conflict of interest. Its like asking a member of the Israeli Defense Forces to sit in on a discussion of the treatment of Palestinaens in the West Bank. Rap music is in a serious state of decline when people are hailing the release of a new Eminem song like the lost Commandment being discovered.

    Paul Rosenberg is Em’s manager. Peter Rosenberg is my new bff.

    Read “…like the lost Commandment being discovered.” as “Lost condiment being discovered” and got excited *shrugs*.

    No shots at the Combat Jack, you are one of a handful of people in or connected to the industry I admire and trust their opinion. But asking a bunch of dickriding, no talent hacks and yes men and women to judge of all people Eminem is beyond comical and ridiculous. I wonder what Elliot Wilson, Miss Info and Peter Rosenberg had to say regarding the new Eminem song lmmmaaaoooo! Nigga Please! Their opinion in general is faulty at best. But in regards to judging a Eminem song, that’s like relying on a crackhead to be your main witness in court for a murder case. You know what to expect a guilty verdict. But in there case, it’s two snaps a twist and a jheri curl kit. Most of the industry is so transparent and fucking lame (and I am not even part of it). So I can only image the fuckery that goes on behind closed doors and in the inner workings. There is no wonder as to why Hip-hop is on a ventilator laid up in ICU slowly dying.

    If you take (can be one or a combination of) a white, lame, fake, hater, profiteer, no-talent, greedy, gay man or woman and you put them in a position of power or they ascend to a power position. More than likely they will hire and promote individuals similar to themselves. Unfortunately Hip-hop and rap music over the years have succumbed to the natural order of power and business.
