i'll try my best to answer everything you touched on here..
the AA comment was an intentionally ridiculous response to your seemingly ridiculous post. i'm not trying to stir the pot [today], but as you said, the way you worded your comment wasn't very well thought out, and i took advantage of it and made light of the comment. nothing to fret over.

i've covered some of this above, but i don't disagree that thugger has a very vocal group of loyal followers. that said, it's a small group in comparison to what it could (maybe 'should'?) be, and thugger is still very much so playing to a niche market right now (which is where my initial comment yesterday stemmed from). i personally don't think that this will change anytime soon. he'll likely continue to grow a bit, but will he achieve long-term success and eventually play to the much larger crowds? i don't think the mass appeal is there in its current form. his dedication is unparalleled today, and as many have put it, is very reminiscent of old school weezy, but there's a fundamental difference between the two artists which i firmly believe will disallow thugger from blowing up.

when i say that there's people who don't enjoy his music, i mean just that -- he's not for everyone. someone not liking thugger is no more right than someone doing the opposite. the majority of people, however, don't love thugger like you, meero, narsh, etc. do today -- i duno if i need to explain that much further, but it goes back to him not having commercial success today...my sample size is the masses. that doesn't mean it won't one day change, but for now, it's true, and i don't see anybody arguing against that even in here. and that's not me hating -- i'm just stating a fairly obvious fact.
