Yours truly is very certain that in his many years of writing, one thing that he is yet to do is an in-depth review of a song. That’s not my style. The reason being that and without sounding offensive, I have not been impressed with reviews of songs that I have come across or maybe read.
Unfortunately, I think we have failed to differentiate between an opinion that we hold and a fact about something that people should see or observe without being told.
Okyeame Kwame and Stone are good rappers and that is a FACT; saying the former is better than the latter is an OPINION. Anybody can hold such an opinion. That distinction is not just a matter of my perspective. It is easier to know when a song is beautiful and touches the heart.
In the same breath, a completely wasteful song is easier to pinpoint. So a music review of a wasteful song with opinions to make it sound like a good song turns me off. A good review of a bad song doesn’t add anything to the song.
