How well does Nas sing?
If you went to a Ke$ha album looking for a Sinead O'Connor record, thats your fault. But to address your slander...
Ke$ha's operating on a cultural movement, she's not trying to be sung 100 years from now around a camp fire. She's not aiming for the Great American Songbook. What you should get is a captured moment in time. Few artists sum up the now like she does. Maybe thats not for you, and thats fine, but you can't blame her for not being Ani DeFranco.
We all look for something in music, maybe yours is longevity but you barked up the wrong tree here. I don't know how these same attacks aren't levied against techno artist, or how Nas is hoping to stand the test of time with lyrics. Is the state of the ghetto in 1994 relevant 16 years on?
