RDJ...gods gift?

1st off, this guy is talented. I'd give a body part to
have the ability to do what he does with audio...
----
but come on, the guy is a dick too:

he constantly moans about how warp sucks

lies in his interviews, when were pretty much the only
jackarses to read them

has tons o music, he hasn't released, or has put out in a
crappy format. EXAMPLE: ABv3. sounds like it was bounced
from a tape to a digital format...i think it sounds like
arse.

Y confuse u'r fans, the people who actually buy u'r cd's and
records? i dunno, why be an ass? to make u look hella cool?
To feed u'r ego? grow up

what do u think? anyone have any stories or run ins with him
b4?

so he messes around

maybe hes making music cus he enjoys it, and he might as
well make money at something he enjoys

NOT doing it "for the fans"

He probably couldn't care less about his fans...i don't care
if he has a cd called 'i care because you do..'

I think he has an attitude problem

He got pissed off at Joyrex because he wouldn't kiss his ass
and call Drukqs amazing... Joy said it was ''quite good''.

The guy is probably a dick, but I don't care... I just want
to listen to his music.

cause he has a sence of humour !!!! , he is very funny and
he make his music for himself not for you, and why wouldnn't
he lie when people keep asking him how much drugs he uses
and if he has aids or not

there are a couple on this site... search for yourself...
----

the guy is so goddamn funny... if he lies in his interviews
WHO FUCKING CARES?... it's obsessed fans like you who are
dependant on his every word and get hurt if he lies, who
ruin music.. if he lies in interviews it's because he needs
to do it for his own sanity.

if he doesn't release more music.. well it's a shame.. but
he can do whatever he wants with it. he's got enogh money so
he doesn't need to sell records to live, he's a musician and
makes music for himself... he doesn't care about you or
interviews... he jokes about himself and make a mockery at
all... it's great.. and it's the way it should be.

I would do it the same way. share my music with my firends,
mostly.

I find Richard to be quite hilarious.

Although I do wish he'd take his talent a little more
seriously...

I sometimes wonder if he realizes how much of a genius he
really is.

''I sometimes wonder if he realizes how much of a genius he

You bet your ass he does... he is NOT some humble little
artist.

Like I said above, in THIS topic:

''He got pissed off at Joyrex because he wouldn't kiss his
ass and call Drukqs amazing... Joy said it was ''quite
good''. ''

Richard KNOWS how brilliant he is, and is very proud of his
work... he thinks he's the best, I bet... and he IS the
best, I'd have to agree with him.

I wish he'd release more stuff. Or at least make his rare
stuff more widely available.

I fine him pretty funny as well...he obviously enjoys
fucking around with the media and the heads of people in
general...good luck to him...

You can't really judge him from third-parties anyway so it's
not really fair to call him an arsehole or that he's
arrogant...at the end of the day he just a human being so
has his ups and downs like anyone else...

The music speaks for itself. EVERYTHING else - the
intervies, image, press releases, contracts, aka's, is RDJ
basically saying: Look, we all live in this hyperworld of
media driven nonsense that is SO fucking transparent that if
you let it influence how you appreciate a piece of music
then you're a dumb fuck and have become caught up in this
bullshit-and maybe you have lost something. THATS THE WAY I
SEE IT.
From what i understand it, RDJ has such a tight group of
freinds and family that he can afford to arse around with
everyone else outside that group because its an outlet for
creative energy which he seems to have on overflow and he's
secure enough to never feel the need to really explain
himself to what the media has collectively termed "fans" but
what is a group made up of everyone to casual appreciaters
to media-obsessed silly persons. Bing.
