    Now I know what all of you are thinking. Why am I so late? Why am I posting this like y'all care? Why am i not using paragraphs? And to that, I say
    [​IMG]
    Anyway, I don't like circle jerks. I don't like them at all. The Cool Cats are honestly certified flops and I wish I could say the same thing about this circle jerking but if I'm gonna be honest, it didn't wow me honestly. In fact, by the end of his unhealthy obsession confirmation of liking posts, I just felt empty. Not because of the posting or anything but mainly because of the likes, the way they were posting on here in the second half and some parts of the first half if I'm being honest. When I first saw the circle jerks, I thought it was the worst thing I have ever see. Now with this second season, I honestly feel a lot of the circle jerking is fantastic, I was loving almost all of it, the funk to the smooth like sharing, I was really enjoying it. Until ElmikoAKAMza almost ruined it for me. Dont get me wrong, I'm not hating on ElmikoAKAMza but a lot of the faults of this circle jerk for me is his doing honestly. The posts are what made me hate this thread for a very long time and the way he tried to pull out concepts here was just honestly really weak compared to his older work (with the exception of his second post which is debatably my favorite post on here) you can post a bunch of novel type replies explaining every little detail about every circle jerk and its concept and at the end of the day, I still wont like circle jerking like Aiko, Rapmusik, Perry the Platypus, Cyreides, FreeAgent, or even RALPH LARUEN because at the end of the day, I get it. I just dont like it. To me he didn't pull them off at all and just came off as corny. Then there are posts that just really started feeling bland like the anime s--- talking which was mainly skippable to me. I will say however there are a lot more posts I liked than that I disliked but the problem is, I only liked them for the likes and with the exception of 3 posts, felt were either half good and half bad. I liked the like sharing concept how he recited bits and pieces of it where it ties in to the posts themes but honestly I'm gonna say this. I dont care who you are, but liking each others posts is the most corniest thing you can do. And the biggest cliche to top it off, have it be ElmikoAKAMza of all people. So over all, I feel exhausted after reading this, both mentally and physically, I still feel that are the inactive ElmikoAKAMza was the best ElmikoAKAMza and while this album is a nice try at topping circle jerking, it doesn't quite reach the mark like say, JMG or myself hit when they try and top their best work. Overall I'd give this a 5.7/10. Anyway this is just my opinion. My brutally honest opinion.

    Well welcome to the internet home of being petty and hating. And can you really get annoyed at a comment hating on a post hating on something?

    Although in retrospect I probably should have included my thoughts on his actual review instead of just being a d-ck.

    Yeah I think the album blows as well.

    Without being snobish i can assuredly say it takes a serious intellect to appreciate Kendrick's latest LP and masterpiece. Oh and a willingness to truly listen.

    You can say it's overrated but saying it's the most overrated of all time is ridiculous. I'm not even a Kendrick d-ck rider I just respect good work.

    And what's this truth hard s---? You're opinions stronger to me than the thousands of others that contrast it is it?
