@Sam --

"Pardon my cynical, but the inevitable hoo-harr about his return is irritating my skin. Scratch." <-- Does this mean you'll then-be-rendered incapable of "even and unbiased review" of Wayne's upcoming material? Sam, to be totally honest, you've demonstrated a "less-than-keen-insight," and an "even-lesser appreciation" of any-and-all that was "born of/from the streets...!!"

...Rap ain't exactly Gimmick-strong/techno-pop music, now is it, Sam? (A bit too crude for your finely-tuned British-sensibilities?)

"By no means should one be written off for their wrongs, yet the celebratory sentiments, as well as the utter nonsense that was the ‘Free Weezy’ calls (as if he was wronged in some way), are ridiculous. If only the masses, along with his nearest and dearest, would pause and stop glorifying his behaviour, then perhaps his behind would stay out of the slammer."<--Sam the puritan(no-one, at least not of this generation, uses the word/term "slammer", you're showing your age); Sam of-the-manor-born, whose contempt for anything he doesn't understand would be ignorant, were it not for the fact that "if it's dressed in white," it'll then be noteworthy, and beyond reproach...!! Sam, you've had nothing but glowing adoration for all that "The White Rapper" has produced...!! Sam, you're "color struck," and it's left you confused, self-hating and needy...!!

"Same goes for the rest of the Can’t Stay, Won’t Stay Out Of Jail Crew (see: T.I., Wacka Flocka, Gucci Mane, DMX, and co)." <-- Sam, er... I take it, you didn't "get the memo" but the charges against Gucci: DROPPED - ALL OF THEM....!!!

When's the last time a DA outright dropped ALL OF THE CHARGES on a readily and easily convictable rap-superstar felon...?? ... Never, that's when...!! Then WHY, did they OUTRIGHT drop the charges, SO-SOON AFTER ARRAIGNMENT? ... Because that "cop stop" was bad: THOSE COPS LIED, THAT'S WHY....!!!

Sam, you're so-obviously ... "color struck"...!! There's just no-other reason, rational nor explanation!
YOU'RE A BLINDED, BIAS AND SELF-LOATHING CARNIVORE!! If Uncle Tom had a Cabin, you'd volunteer as "head-grounds keeper, and forever-appreciative toe-tapping gesturer...!!!"

X.Y,"and Z" -- OUT...!!
