Originally posted by MrMinum Not completely (in terms of serial killers, etc) - but this man hasn't harmed anybody and you have this sudden hatred for him? It's wrong and you shouldn't. If you don't like his music, that's fine but you shouldn't hate somebody just because their productions and music isn't your thing.

Originally posted by Jae My hate for him has nothing to do with his music though. I said that in my original post. What I hate about him is his position in the industry and his motives. It's clear that he makes music with the sole intention of profit and there's no denying that. He's trying to strip artistry out of music (see: Britney Jean, willpower) and just producing whatever will make him a quick buck. As a producer and songwriter myself, that angers me. He is poison to the industry in my eyes, and I hate him for that.

Ah - see, but that's how you're personally thinking whilst I see Britney Jean and #willpower as great albums. He's doing this as his job because he enjoys doing it and he loves to bring something new every time he creates a song, etc. It would help if you looked into his interviews and documentaries and maybe then you could get a rough idea of how he is and why he does this.

I respect that you are a producer and songwriter yourself but he really isn't poison to the industry - if anything he's making evolving the industry and that's always a good thing. You still have no reason whatsoever to hate him at all. We're done discussing this. Thank you.

Originally posted by SelenaTheWinner He's kinda right about the albums thing tho. Its outdated & most people only buy Single & EPs...

"An album - that's like borrowing from 1950s. It feels like such an outdated format. 16 songs? I'd rather do 45 Vines and pay attention to six seconds."

Originally posted by accelgors dead @ you just deciding a discussion is over just because you want the last word. will i am is not a genius at all, he just makes ugly sounding robot music with little effort and hopes people will buy it for some reason.

I'm just done with the discussion, that's all. It's boring to argue over him, or any artist honestly. He's a genius in his own context and that context being music and gadgets - to each to their own though.

Originally posted by MrMinum You should have no say in for what somebody else's career can or can't do because this makes him happy and obviously his fans too. For you to say that you wish that he wouldn't is utterly shameful of you because this could be the only thing keeping him alive as a person and it could be his only 'getaway' or 'safe haven' as he could secretly be troubled and depressed. Shame on you.
