[Dynagroove] Re: Larry Heard / Williams comments

[House Pimp]

Will, how dare you ridicual these guys that put so much time and effort into 
their party. You say that you play records, next time that you play out you 
better watch out for some tomatoes flying your way. You can critique all you 
want but unitl you do a party and until you lose money you can talk the shit 
you can and even then I don't think you have the title to talk all you do. 
How can you say " we hate it when our idols let us down.  at least i do", 
well until your an idol you should really learn to keep your mouth shut and 
when you do remind me to bring more tomatoes. If you don't have anything 
nice or positive to say you should keep it to yourself unless you like 
making enemies more then you can really comprehend. Oh, by the way since no 
one on this has mentioned Miguel Migs fuckin rocked. Oh yeah he did!
