That's my interpretation of the situation anyway

sorry about that first part btw, it's my consciousness of the letter Z, an advertisement they once aired on a banned episode of Sesame St.
Beating a dead horse do not care

What people were alluding to prior was that you could respect any other artist enough to not warrant calling them terrible, whether they be led zeppelin or whatever, their amount of influence wouldn't have been possible if they were indeed "terrible".

Surrel when Lil Wayne is called terrible you can make objective reasons as to why he's not.

Believe it or not "terrible" artists (maybe i have a wildly different definition of the word then others) don't have expansive careers.

Terrible artists-chingy, panic at the disco, styx, whatever they arent around for long
