The article was decent... too bad the author has no hip-hop background and kept pushing the rock angle on B-Real. Honestly, it was pretty hard to keep reading when right off the bat he refers to "Pop-Blocking" and "D boy-ism" (dude, it's "pop-locking" and "B-boyism", google that shit first next time - hard to ask for people to give your article a real read when you clearly don't know the basics or even what you're writing down... oh, and "hip-hop", "rapping", and "breakdancing" aren't capitalized...) but it gets better, and there are a couple good stories and some nice insight into B-Real's persona and the album. Seriously though, don't ask a 20 year vet about Bob Dylan unless he brings it up, alright? He gave Bob his respect, but mostly he was just sparing your old-ass feelings
