There's plenty of reasons.
1.) I've actually shown him to a couple people who thought "Searching For Some Beautiful" was amazing but his voice was a huge turn off on everything else.
2.) His album is just...depressing. It's stuck in the same mood all the way through and in that it discourages some listeners to go through the entire album in one stretch.
3.) The abstract style isn't for everyone. It either connects with you or it doesn't.
All of that aside he might just have to grow on you. Try going to sleep with his music on. I did that once, woke up and vomited, then I did it again and it felt amazing to listen to from then on.
Is it bad that I actually think Vinnie Paz is a great mc on SIHKIH?
I guess not.
I thought so too until I heard the rest of his music, which all sounded relatively the same. I mean, look at Diabolic. I'm not going to fault him too bad for using the same flow/delivery through out the span of one album, you can even pass it off as part of the artistic direction or whatever. But the fact that he doesn't find anything wrong with never experimenting with his formula through out his career up until he started sucking is what keeps me from calling him "great".
The only thing that's ever changed about him is his voice and his flow got slightly tighter on every album until it peaked.
SIHKIH is a really good album, I play it from time to time still. From the production down to the performance, it's all solid but "Great" is a strong word to describe an MC that I would only apply to MC's who have a thick grasp on the art form. Even some of my favorite artists aren't "Great" MCs. Vinnie Paz in general is one dimensional, and no I do not mean that he doesn't try anything new with his content, I mean the fact that he never bothered to expand and he/everyone around him never noticed this for some reason. It's like an artist using the same tools & color palette on every painting for his entire lifetime.
I think he's decent/good, but not great.
Do you think T-pain>Nate Dogg?
I think T-Pain gets a bit too much flak for the auto-tune gimmick but no, Nate Dogg's hooks were literally perfect.
Are giving insightful answers an innate capability you have or do you actually put effort into asnwering your questions?
I have always had alot to say. I have always had the capability to make long ass posts which is why they would suddenly pop up from time to time when I felt like one was needed, so I wouldn't say I try particularly hard to write a huge essay for a question. When I see a question and think "Does this deserve insight?" and if I say yes I just pour myself into the answer like that.
But it really depends on what the question is to be honest. Paragraphs like Vinnie Paz, the "best thing that ever happened to you", CREAM's questions & stillmatic vs. Killahbee just come to me but some other ones require a bit of thought and careful wording before I'm happy with how I answer them but for the most part no, I don't put as much effort as it looks into these things.
Did you scare Master Chief away with you ability to produce insightful responses?
I don't know @Master Chief, did I?
Do you think Relapse lp will ever be back and do you think me and him would have gotten along?
Probably. From what I saw, he actually seemed alot like me except a bit more subtle. Or you might have treated him as a pest like you do to MC, who knows. Something about him tells me that he's done and he'll never be back. Honestly though, it seems like you'd be the next step in the evolution process for him so we don't need him either way.
