All this instead of finally getting around to creating some critical discourse on the most hostly contested classic/dud album of the year, Lil Wayne's The Carter III. People either hate it or love it, but so far the fork's been mum on the subject, instead going the obvious route by trashing an old standard (MMJ) and ejaculating praise on an album nobody's ever heard--all in the name of being the first to do so. Fuck this political bullshit.
I meant "hotly." Damn P4k just makes me jumpy.
