A few artists I have opinions about

First off let me say that these are nothing more than my opinions, I do not want the following to be confused as fact or hatery of any sort.:

I've always always been one of those guys who can't seperate morals/beliefs from music, and in that respect, there's a couple of guys in the Wicked Underground who I just can't stand to support:

#1. Sicktanick - Yea, gettin' the one that will ruffle feathers the most, is SKR's artist and label head Sicktanick. First let me say this is more about him as a person and "representive" of the Wicked Underground, and has nothing to do with his musical ability. It pains me to voice my opinion in the respect that other than Sick himself, I love the work of all of SKR's other artists. And in my opinion SKR has one of the finest line-ups in the genre. My main problem with him is his little "blacklist" in which he has sworn off fans over what I see is extremely trivial matters. I'm not going to go into detail in respect to parties involved, but I have no problem discussing this with Sick himself, and if he wants explanations himself, I'll be happy to give them to him. Not to mention he told a good buddy of mine to go kill himself, and for whatever reason, I just don't see that as very professional or "businessman-like" which he claims himself to be.
Now don't get me wrong, he has done some great work, whether musically or event wise. But his attitude and the way he carries himself, I just find pathetic.

#2 Hex of L.U. Cipha - Yes, L.U. Cipha solidified themselves in history books long ago, and Hex himself has had some great solo stuff, but recently, he has resorted to diss tracks about nothing more than a name. He keeps trying to diss The J. Hexx Project simply because "hex" is in his name, even though J. Hexx responded with one of the greatest diss tracks I've ever heard, he keeps trying to diss on him. Hex's last decent release was back in 2000, 10 years later he's just grasping at strings.

#3 Wicked Dub - Seriously dude, how many times a day do you google your name?
