honestly dude? you and zack are 2 people on the EXTREMELY short list of those with whom I enjoy debating on these forums. Why? because you aren't hating, you are asserting a claim and using calm, logical arguments to back that claim.

I get what you're saying with how this dude popped out of nowhere and didn't necessarily go through the 'blood, sweat, tears' aspect of trying to make it. Then again, when I wikipedia'd him, I found that this guy has been playing hardcore and punk music for a long time. His band was on the warped tour. he was rocking shows, putting in the blood, sweat and tears... i think. unless his wiki has been faked by the machine. I wouldnt put it past them. because you're right, the music PR, hype, 'branding' machine could put some hairspray and an earring on a crow, auto-tune its 'ckaaww ka-kaawww' and make a platinum album (hey, I think I may be on to something!!)
as far as the whole thinking a guy is sick because he had the whole top 10... no, thats not why i think he is sick. I think he's sick because of the utter crackiness of his beats, even if im not the biggest fan of electro, i just respected the random crack bass insanity. but i was also reeeaaallly feeling that ambient-type uplifting-ish stuff.
whether or not he actually produced it? who knows. Given he's from LA and that the whole hipster culture is more or less "in", cause lets be honest... it is to a degree. If enough people hate on hipsters, then they're style must be of importance. cause no one hates on something that's unimportant...
back to my point... given he's from LA and has this weirdo long hair and glasses and makes electro and he's an LA cool guy... I feel like that really IS an image the machine could have put out. who knows.
Wait... there's more, real quick
on to the topic of feeling like people dont work hard and get noticed off nothing... that fucking pisses me off... I used to want to be a rapper. I wasnt bad at it either. But i was a jew from the burbs and the way rap music was, i had to be a G'd up hustler to make it. So I went out and became a G'd up hustler. I moved and was around those moving a LOT of this and that. I kept rapping. I event got a meeting with Pat Moxey. he loved the whole "Burbs to the Block concept" I put in my blood sweat and tears for mad long. And what happens? myspace blows up and any cock sucker with a decent lyric can be heard without doing SHIT. and now??? Rapping isnt about how deep you run or even how conscious your rhymes are... its about how many bow ties and square shaped, thick framed glasses you own. What the fuck happened?
