9th Wonder is the first of the industry’s known to denounce Watch The Throne as an album that’s not for him. Now, he’s being treated like Jesus on Twitter. With an over hype album like this one and who he is within the business, 9th isn’t allowed to have an honest opinion. On the flip-side, any regular person can get away with saying this album isn’t great or anything of that nature. This is what 9th said on Twitter, courtesy of RR:
Thank you God for giving me the ability to listen to music objectively, despite how big the artist is. Lemme tell yall something, I am not a follower, never will be, if something is dope, cool, if not, then cool, but I don’t follow. #STANDTALL.
I just checked it out.#WTT. WTT as a whole is not for me. I can rock with “New Day” & “The Joy”. I understand expansion/experimentation in music, but its not for me. It has nothing to do with samples vs. keys, cause I ROCKS with The Neptunes, Swizz, etc.
So lets see who’s the first Hip-Hop blog will be the first one to put up my thoughts of the album. So I guess my brother @marcopolo is crazy too? Nah, not at all.
As a musician/beatmaker/active participant in hip-hop, I want to be SCARED when I hear something, like when I heard Aquemini. It has nothing to with the STYLE of rap, subject matter, NOTHING. Its the FEELING for me. U can KILL 50 people in a song as long as it bangs.
I said ” the joint wasn’t for ME”, reading is fundamental. I think I expressed my opinions very eloquently. Different time, different generation. Errybody says IM angry. Who’s more angry, ME or THEM? *Turns on Section 80*.
Here is the funniest thing of the NIGHT…over HALF of these nukkas on here DOWNLOADED it from MEDIAFIRE, lol. Can someone repost my initial comments from last night…*brushes off stones*.
Now, I’m not going to bash a man’s opinion. I respect it but at the same time, it hasn’t even been 24 hours. He’s suffering from what everyone else seems to and that’s judging off one or two listens. Sure, you can do that on a Lil B album but this is different. We already know how deep Jay-Z can be after reading Decoded. ‘Ye makes incredible music and has since College Dropout. The two put together is going to be something no one man can fully understand off a couple listens. That’s my only complaint about 9th’s statement.
I’m scanning through various comments from people on their take. One claims that 9th is a “washed up producer” that needs to get a life because nobody is checking for his shit. Others wonder why we should care about what he has to say. All these opinions without thought. Something Twitter and blog comments have strengthened. Want some attention? Talk reckless on either of those sites. Someone will read it and have a response.
The point here is 9th is entitled to his opinion regardless of when he wants to give it. YOU do not have to give a damn at all but you have to respect it. Your perception of anything is not the same as the man or women down the street. The WTT comments on Twitter have everyone either agreeing or disagreeing on songs and the overall product. Just sit back, listen to it and don’t even discuss your opinion for a while. Soak it all in like I have been doing.
