Shyne and Def Jam called, made you feel all warm and fuzzy, and YOU WROTE A FUCKIN FLUFF PIECE. Flip it and bounce it and call it whatever the fuck you want, if thats not a fluff piece, you tell me what is? So whether you were talking about his music or his well-being, they swayed you to write ANYTHING positive about Shyne. Even if you didn't comment on his music, the fact remains, YOU DIDN'T GIVE A FUCK BEFORE THEY CALLED YOU. We're trying to tell you, you were swayed by the phone call that had obvious intentions. and if you knew those intentions like you said you did, than you're just a fuckin idiot for doing exactly what they wanted you to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790021311115201711.post-59651249697306245512010-04-26T17:48:42.782-07:002010-04-26T17:48:42.782-07:00"At this moment"...

Smh at the writer of this blog saying he's been over something that he brought up as an issue. If you took issue with it, you took issue with it, you can't write about it and than be "past" it when the person you got at responds. Either it's an issue important enough to write about and clarify, or it isn't. And to think it inconceivable that the man can criticize his raps but wish him well in the same breathe(and to somehow suggest these are sentiments are opposite from one another, is narrow mindedness that I can't really grasp at this moment.KingPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790021311115201711.post-21038884324435880952010-04-25T17:37:47.540-07:002010-04-25T17:37:47.540-07:00Just like I quoted Guru at the beginning of this p...Just like I quoted Guru at the beginning of this post, "hater took this shit too far..."<br /><br />That's the way it is.Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660266149449276033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790021311115201711.post-80023553580619411202010-04-25T17:27:48.465-07:002010-04-25T17:27:48.465-07:00"If you have proof Eskay does underhanded shi..."If you have proof Eskay does underhanded shit, bring it, if you don't please stop scrabbling around stretching, trying and make the guy look bad - it just makes you look sad & jealous."<br /><br />Woah there, I think you are getting carried away. Are you a Nah Right stan or something? Just because other people throw barbs at Eskay doesnt mean that Ivan is part of that. Its not about jealousy, its about calling someone to account over a percieved wrong.<br /><br />The large negativity regarding Eskay is another issue. Ivan even said he wouldnt want to be in those shoes. People throwing rocks at the throne I guess. This issue was over a particular post.

You went completely over the top about it, making out he wasn't strong enough on the subject and yet your writing style is really passive-aggressive "No disrespect meant, but it’s literally the equivalent of a suave palming of a TI’s sack" - is that your idea of "tongue lashing"? Very brave. <br /><br />At the end of the day, it looks like you willfully misinterpreted what Eskay wrote, and whether or not you would have written something more scathing had you spoken to Shyne is now irrelevant since it seems you would have framed it to suit your negative, attention-seeking little agenda regardless of what was said - looking for the "words that can be read in between the lines".<br /><br />If you have proof Eskay does underhanded shit, bring it, if you don't please stop scrabbling around stretching, trying and make the guy look bad - it just makes you look sad & jealous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790021311115201711.post-1863190307216483552010-04-24T22:30:37.778-07:002010-04-24T22:30:37.778-07:00Btw those Gang Starr-isms ain't going unnotice...Btw those Gang Starr-isms ain't going unnoticed.

Eska...I think this has been a huge over-reaction. <br /><br />Eskay seems to have taken this personally and seems sensitive to the criticism. I don't think Ivan was overly harsh. The lame stuff came later from other posters. Everyone is just jumping in with cheap shots. <br /><br />I don't think this is a situation that needs forensic analysis. A difference of opinion. Now let it slide. People get caught up in the whole beef thing. <br /><br />However I will say that Ivan has every right to criticise. Everyone has because nobody is above that. I don't think reaching out was mandatory either. If offer an opinion on something then do you really have to seek permission?

It used to be that major media had set deadlines. All stories for the morning addition of a newspaper had to be in by such-and-such time. Same for the evening addition or television news. At most you had two, maybe three, deadlines in a day.<br /><br />Obviously, the Internet has obliterated the concept of the deadline. Now, everything is expected to be disseminated as quickly as possible. If you get a piece of information that is worth spreading, then your deadline comes as quickly as you can write it in an intelligible fashion.<br /><br />So, no, Eskay wasn't being "lazy" with his 5-minute post. He was being prompt. There's an enormous difference.<br /><br />And, yes, other "legitimate" media organizations do this all the time. When a breaking piece of news occurs, we write an initial story. Then, as additional details become available, we update it. Sometimes, initial details that we printed in the heat of the neverending deadline are revealed as untrue and we have to correct them.<br /><br />Sometimes, there is a typo or a poorly worded statement. It happens to everyone -- from Pulitzer Prize winners to writers for hip-hop blogs.<br /><br />Did Eskay phrase a few things unclearly? Yes, he's acknowledged that. Did he compromise his morals? I would say not. In fact, I think it is unfair to not allow Shyne an outlet to speak his piece. Granted, neither Eskay nor we need to agree with him.<br /><br />As per Ivan, he has every right to express his opinion; and I think he did it respectfully. I didn't read any of his comments as attacking Eskay personally, just the way the industry operates. His opinions are subjective (and he presents them that way), thus, they are valid.<br /><br />I am a fan of both blogs, and I do not make the pretense of knowing either blogger. If anything, this is an indication of how quickly differences of opinion can become "beef" when there is a lot of talking without any communication.<br /><br />One.<br /><br />-JasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790021311115201711.post-36584812695033947862010-04-24T05:54:17.573-07:002010-04-24T05:54:17.573-07:005 minutes to write, read once and publish?
