The words of a broke person.
The words of every person in response to criticism.
BTW - I am far from broke. I don't know what you consider broke, but I own a five bedroom home, have threecars less than 2 years old. Three plasma TV's bigger than 42" and have a lake out my back door. Oh and the studio downstairs.
I work a corporate job and make damn good bank my boy.
Im not rich, but Im not broke either.
As for T-Pain, if I was filthy rich. Id say the same thing. Money isn't the cure for wackness, and getting paid aint an excuse for being wack either.
if money was an excuse for doing any old thing, then I'm sure you could be "paid" by dancin ona pole at the local male showcase club, and it would be all good cuz "you getting that paypah, that guap". LOL
your reply = lame and overused reply to criticism. we all artists of some sort here which means we have opinions.
Not everyone with an opinion is livin check to check dawg.
and not all unfavorable opinions are "hating". Success doesn't equal talent to me, it equals success, period. Some times its talent, and if anything "talent" is subjective. Obviously with the depth and artistry of pop music these days then yeah, he is "talented" in comparison to whats out there. But what does that say???
People wrongly assume (naive I would say) that everyone who is famous is automatically better than someone who isn't famous yet, like being popular means that you are better. No it doesn't. It means that you have broken through, no more no less. There are guys on this forum that are unknown but have more natural giftf then T-Pain, but if they criticized him here, they would be told that T-Pain is better than them because hes famous. Thats just a simplistically stupid way to look at the world.
For one, was T-Pain always famous?
for seconds, its a stupid mentality to believe that known and famous talent ALWAYS beats unknown talent, because I can gaurantee you that the most talented cats in the world are guys you may never hear. I would bet there has been a better basketball player than Michael Jordan on some playground somewhere. Because for whatever reason he didn't make it to the league do you think that his talent didn't exist because television cameras didn't capture it?
you need an ice cold drink.
