Hatemail Written About My Music Criticism

Sometimes I write a review for an album that provokes a hilariously passionate -- though not very grammatical, or logical-- screed against me.

 

Subject: MY HOMIES

I WONDER WHAT GIVES SOMEONE LIKE YOU THE GALL TO JUDGE SOMEONE AS CREATIVE AS MR. SCARFACE IN SUCH A HARSH AND CLOSE MINDED WAY ? EVIDENLY THE ALBUM WAS NOT MADE FOR BROWN NOSE ,MY SHIT DONT STINK , OUT OF TOUCH WITH MY SENSE OF REALITY , TIGHT ASS , DONT KNOW MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE YOURSELF. KEEP YOUR BITCH ASS OPINIONS TO YOURSELF.
STILL THUGGIN,
MOE GREEN
P.S. FUCK YOU


Subject: JUST THOUGT OF SOMETHING ELSE

I JUST VISITED YOUR WEBSITE AND I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS. YOU ARE A FUCKING MARK. YOU DO NOW WHAT THAT IS RIGHT? A SCARY LITTLE MOTHERFUCKER , OR A COWARD IN TERMS YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO UNDERSTAND. HOW DO I KNOW THIS ? MY 22 YAERS ON THIS EARTH HAVE ALLOWED ME THE OPPURTUNITY TO MIX WITH ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE AND STUDYING PEOPLE IS JUST A GIFT THE GOOD LORD HAS ENDOWED ME WITH, ANYWAY I CAN SEE THE BITCH IN YOUR EYES. IF YOU THINK IM WRONG NEXT TIME YOU SEE A REAL BROTHER WHO IS A REAL NIGGA LIKE MYSELF STARE AT HIM LIKE YOU KNOW HIM AND SEE HOW YOU FEEL , THAT HAIR YOU FEEL STANDING UP ON YOUR NECK MEANS THAT YOU ARE SCARED SENSELESS BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT HE WOULD PROBABLY REAM YOU A NEW ASSHOLE. I ONLY HOPE THAT I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF MEETING YOU ONE DAY SO THAT I MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO VOICE MY DISPLEASURE TO YOU , PHYSICALLY. NEXT TIME STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW DONT GO STICKING YOUR NOSE IN PLACES YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT , YOU AINT NEVER BEEN BLACK, YOU AINT EVER WENT THROUGH THE THINGS THAT WE GO THROUGH AND YOU PROBABLY AINT NEVER HURT A FLY.
STILL THUGGIN YOU BIIIIITCH!!!!

Subject: Puff Daddy and The Family

Since when do you get off to criticize against a guy who produced millions of singles and turned old songs into a new hip hop age. Puff Daddy is a guy who himself wants to see people succeed and what you are trying to say is that he is no better than MC Hammer? Hammer went broke after making songs that had no meaning to. Puff Daddy is a guy who' CD "No Way Out" was about his life and the Death of the friend Christopher Wallace aka The Notorius B.I.G. Puff Daddy takes some old song beats and brings it into the world. Such as "I'll Be Missing You". Tell me that is a new song, but with an old beat. That is one of the best song titles of the year. Or such as his song "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" the song basically meant that he was expressing his time on the steets and seeing how people are screwing up their lives.

If you think Puff daddy is no way better than M.C. Hammer than something is wrongwith you pal. Only someone sick would think that "I'll be Missing You" is a song with no meaning. You rated the CD Trash when you out of all the reviewers out there say it was good and an original CD. Coincidence I think not. "Every Breath You Take" be the police was a lovely song, and so Is "I'll Be Missing You". And you thinking this is the worst MC Hammer please. Don't even try to compare Puff Daddy to MC Hammer. Futher more I know this is you Opinion, but listen closely to the CD and you will get it. You opinion is just like any other person, just think next time before you say it.

Subject: Brad Smith of Unified Theory

I would like to thank you for your wonderfully shallow review of our new band. Although critics opinions are purely subjective and have rights there in, I should point out that I have life experiences to back up every lyric i have ever written.
You gave our band 1.5 stars, i would still like to thank you, before that i had none.
one of the stupor four....hehe
