Brad, I don't believe was soliciting purchases of his upcoming release but rather giving an example of what he felt was a good example of the genre, which I guess in his case was his own track.
I was taking the piss as you say. I am allowed to have a sense of humor too.
If you think I really want to hear that in a track then you do not know me or my tastes.
As for the preceeding situation, it is what it is.
Brian is like a street peasant trying to tell a CEO what to do with his business.
His opinions are insignificant at best, not to mention the fake gangster persona is unbecoming, and to be honest somewhat offensive to those of us who have lived in what some people would consider "the hood."
I may be from the Bronx and I do like firearms very much, but I don't have to stand on the soapbox and shout it.
