Please only comment if you read it.. :thumbup:

that was the deepest shit ive read since Fallen Angles.
would you classify gunit, bad boys, ATL, st. lunatics, the inc. and other mainstream artists as 3rd star artists? just doing what they do for market profit not because the music they record is really apart of how they view life? im thinking on a whole 'nutha level now. thanks Durban, good shit.

Often, only an extremely well trained ear can tell the difference between a more common four star artist and a true five star musician at work. Five star musicians are frequently ahead of their time. Their work is so brazenly brilliant, that it goes completely unnoticed by most, like an alien formula for perpetual motion.

In art and science we easily name Van Gogh, Picasso, and Einstein as representative of this class. In music, most all admit Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Stravinsky as examples of the very finest. They are almost all the anti-thesis of popularity. Van Gogh sold one painting in his entire life. Bach was considered "old fashioned" and was unknown 100 miles from his home during his lifetime. Both Einstein and Beethoven were told their work was "impossible". But today, with time and perspective, we see that these five star individuals laid the very foundations upon which we rest our current notions of reality, of what is good.
