Hi Juan I am from the UK and I have been watching this back and forth quarrell between everyone and I have to say I am amazed and a little upset.
Is everyone just into slagging everyone off on this 313? I cannot believe the amount of people that like to put people down and like to say who's better than who. Crickey isn't it obvious to poeple that music is a personal thing, why does everyone have to make such a big thing about it. You alos seem to be at the front of this arguement, I am not sucking up as probably some of you would imagine ( in fact those people please, as you lot would say, Don't even go there!) I just feel sorry for you man, you always get a dig someway or another. Man can't people just get on with there on lives and stop worrying about others, cos I am sure we are all big and ugly enough to.. So yet again it a shame to see this 313 get to a point of no return.. Who shall we slag of next eh? come on I know there's someone out there that feels life is not important unless we all argue.... I hope the 313 doesn't become a 666 ......:0) -----Original Message----- From: JuanAtkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 March 2002 10:46 To: [email protected] Subject: [313]Regarding Business Yes I have been reading all this bullshit about what I said or didn't say in my interview with xlr8r. Let's keep in mind that: 1) I did not go into xlr8r and hold a gun to the editor's head and make them interview me or put me on the cover, contrary to the haters (Poivrenoir, Yussel,& Jayson B) belief. Apparently, I must be currently doing, and/or saying something of some status/substance to warrant a recent cover story on their mag. Regardless to how young I am or how long I've been making records. 2) There are always two view points or angles in every interview. The one of the interviewer, and the one of the interviewee. Sometimes the two do not always coincide, and remember, the interviewer always has the final word and the power of the edit to make an interview look anyway he/she wants. I'm not saying that the interviewer didn't do a great job on this piece, but I probably would have edited a couple of things differently, because there are always, always a mistake or two. 3)Since when did a coupla new jack playa haters (Poivrenoir,Yussel,& Jayson B,etc.) become the authority on this list as to who is in or out of touch with Detroit ? or that Oakee or Digweed are so commercially viable. I can't recall hearing any of their records (that they actually made) on the radio ? Maybe I'm wrong ? someone please correct me if I am. 4) And please give me credit for having enough scruples to know the difference between racism and an artist that can't be broke, and for having enough balls to speak on it when it affects my bottom line.
