How am I reading between the lines when you called me a "hater" simply because I gave my opinion on the new album? LOL There is no reading in between the lines. You said what you said and made it clear. You straight up bashed me and ANYBODY who has any sort of criticism on Jay Z and yea thats childish because everyone is not obligated to like his music. YOU like it... fine whatever I dont care but dont label other people a hater just because they dont.

lol That was not a light hearted jab you brought up a 3 month old discussion on Jay Z that I had with another poster to justify my opinion and my motive for responding to this topic. Weird and irrelevant...... but just know that whenever you challenge any of my posts whether you intend it to be "funny" or not I am going to respond accordingly.

Second, I dont hate "Jay Z" but since you have a childish way of thinking you think everyone who doesnt care for his music "hates him". I dont know him personally to hate him as you say. I just gave an opinion on the man's music because that is the only thing I can judge.


lol Why does everyone have to be a "hater" to you who doesnt like his music? You sound like a overzealous stan. Did you ever stop to think that maybe people just dont care for his music? That IS okay ya know? That doesnt necessarily make them a "hater" as you say especially if they are being constructive. I was actually being humorous with that post I made but I am usually constructive and objective with my posts.

You obviously DO care about my opinion since you feel its important enough to call me a "hater" because I dont like his new album. I dont see what my critique on this album has to do with my opinion on his overall catalogue.




Like I said, you dont dictate how people express their opinion on message boards or what they say. Now if you had said something like "Did you even listen to the album or what songs did you listen too" instead of just making an assumption that I didnt listen to the album that would have been more appropiate. AFTER listening to the tracks I came to that conclusion that it IS the same formula and material so I simply expressed that, period. YOU are the only one that seems to find issue with that no one else here does.

Its just an opinion hun. That is MY opinion and you can not change that. You need to accept that.




I think you just think I am a "hater" in your mind just because of a previous discussion I had with another poster so YOU assumed that everytime I have an opinion on Jay Z Im hating on him and his music lol I really dont care but I think that it is bad to label people haters because they dont particularly care for a certain type of music that you like. Its childish.

I dont take back a single word I said. Im not going to take back my opinion to fit how you think my opinion should be expressed.

There you go again putting words in my mouth. I didn't say that anyone that hates the album is a hater. Just you specifically and it's not because of this album it's the fact that you don't that super long discussion where you established your hate.

I don't care if people don't like this specific album or hold an opinion different than mines. It's just that you tend to slag off Jay easily because you hate him and wouldn't even give any new work of his a chance before forming a proper opinion.



Again you choose to insult me AND put words in my mouth. No, I don't think that everyone that doesn't care for his music hates him.


You don't know me, I'm far from a Jay Z stan. I know that people don't like his music. Your attempt at humor just came off as a typical "hater" type of statement and that's why it was received as such from me especially with your past discussions about him in general.


I didn't call you a hater of you not liking this new album. I called you one based off of that comment plus your past discussions related to him.


Alright now I see the problem, we both decided to make statements that weren't as critical as they could have been and that's what led to this miscommunication.

I'm not trying to change your opinion and I know it's your opinion.





As I have already stated earlier in this post. It wasn't just a one off blanket statement to call you a hater because you don't like this particular album.

I don't want you to take back anything you said. You are free to express your opinions but when they come off the way your intial statement does then expect to be responded in kind with a similar type of statement. It's just like going into a thread and saying such and such is overrated and walking away without going into details about why you don't like it and why you came to that conclusion.

This whole discussion is about you labeling me a hater over my opinion on the album and Ive seen youve done it to others. Im not putting words in your mouth I am going by your posts and responses.


LOL That was my point.
I know this is why you called me a "hater" and made an assumption based off a previous discussion with another poster which is biased and immature. I dont see what a old discussion has to do with THIS discussion and my opinion on THIS NEW discussion.

My opinion in THIS thread was based on his NEW album, so if you want to bring back 5 month old posts on a completely different matter to justify my opinion in THIS THREAD go right ahead but its a bit silly LOL

ONCE AGAIN, I can not change that in YOUR mind you thought my opinion was "hate". If thats what YOU think, so be it but its immature and if you are going to participate on message boards than you need to grow the hell up and understand that everyone is not obligated to like the music you like, that does not make them a hater if they offer objective and intelligent reasons.


Please stop saying this because if you didnt you would not have bashed me over my opinion on this new album if you didnt care. Its quite obvious you do care


First off this is my SECOND time responding to any type of Jay Z topic on this forum lol The first time, I ended up getting into a long debate with another poster about his music and then this time I simply made a statement on his new album after listening to it on another forum. So I dont know how you derived that I tend to slag him off when I dont jump into every Jay Z thread here or talk about him obsessively here.

ONCE AGAIN LOL I can not change the way you come up with your conclusions and assumptions in your head. I already told you that I LISTENED TO HIS NEW ALBUM MYSELF BEFORE I made that response in this thread. So I cant say anything more than that. LOL If you want to still call me a hater and if you want to still insist I didnt listen to the album after I clearly told you from the get go that I did then go right ahead

You just prove more and more how stannish and immature you are with accepting different opinions


I didnt insult you... these are the words you are typing LOL You said I hated him YOU SAID THAT, I didnt make that up lol. How the hell am I going to hate someone I dont even know? LOL You labeled me as all these things just because I dont particularly care for his music and yes that is judgemental and childish.


Well I took you as such since you implied I "hated him", I mean really? And you dont know me either so you need to stop making labels and judgements over people who have a different opinion than you.


No, you called me a hater because I dont particularly care for his music and this new album and YOU do.

Where are these past discussions?????? Ive only had one other discussion talking about Jay Z and thats it.


I just simply said what I said and you misinterpreted to derive to your own assumption. You still continue to insist I hate him for some odd reason but okay lol, cant change the way you think but glad you understand where I am coming from now on this topic.



You are talking about that other discussion I had months ago with another poster where I was asked to express my opinion on his music in depth... so I did. I didnt talk about him personally. I didnt bash him as a person. I even gave him mad props in being a successful business man etc However, I gave rational and objective reasons for my criticism on his music over the years so dont know how you derived I am or was a "hater" from my responses. Everyone who doesnt like a artist or goes into depth with their opinion is not a "hater" especially if they back their responses with legitimate reasoning which I did.

But that had NOTHING to do with my opinion on this new album but AFTER listening to it, it further supported my opinion on his overall music.


That poster was implying that Jay Z's material was better than 2pac, KRS-One etc and Im sorry I COMPLETELY disagreed and expressed that and if you want to call me a "hater" for that... FINE LOL GO RIGHT HEAD I DONT CARE. I just think its childish though because you cant have any real music discussion with people without name calling and giving labels simply because you disagree or they hold an unpopular opinion.


You're right but I thought it was low to bring up a old discussion to justify my opinion in THIS thread. It just came off as " Oh since you said months ago that you didnt care for Jay Z's music then everything you say from now on on him are hater comments" You made an assumption on my opinion before asking if I even listened to the album. YOU were not open minded when you looked at my opinion. You took it and misinterpreted it based on your misconception of my previous discussion on Jay Z. I understand your point but I think its important for you to also know that giving people labels and making assumptions isnt cool. Also, if you have a point then you need to back it up with objective responses instead of calling people "haters" or implying someone must hate the artist just because they dont care for their music. I could see if I was dissing him as a person or attacking him as a human being... but my goodness all that other stuff really was unnessary and it came off rather stannish. Its just music.

I'm not going to go back and forth constantly quoting you and repeating the same things I've been saying earlier so long story short.

You made a comment that was supposed to be a joke even though it still expresses how you feel about the album and Jay overall. I respond with a similar type of joke but you seemed to take great offense to it. This is where the whole miscommunication started and it's a two way street. You assumed things and so did I but you don't seem to want to admit it because you just know exactly what I'm thinking.

This was blown way out of proportion and didn't need to be that big of a deal.

This is OT but are you a black female in your early 20s?

Soulflower

@ DJ your guess is correct, not sure what that has to do with anything though lol

djchameleon

Just curious is all, I wasn't trying to relate it to anything. Just a feeling I had.
