smith not coming here sounds like addition by subtraction to me...

Great Video Stevie! I for one applaud the guy for making the unpopular choice to leave the team. His heart wasnt in basketball and he followed what he feels like is his calling at this point in his life...so many of you talk down on Steve Coleman and his choice to leave Ohio but realistically how many of you now wish you had taken a year or two and followed a DREAM even if it wasnt Div1 athletics which is becoming more and more like professional athetics. Leave the kid alone  I am excited to see his future musical endeavors 

To at least some small extent realism should inform one's decisions.  I was never going to make the NBA.  And Stevie Fresh's music be rotten.

+1 as a Bobcat bball fan I was dissapointed he left the team but as a former 20 year old with a dream (and current older dude with a mortgage) I say best of luck to Stevie Fresh.

haters gonna hate.

In fact Graham, P, you have made an incorrect statement.  Despite the change in the model of music distribution over the last half dozen or so years, I have to believe that the goal is to have a catalog of music which sells thru the ages.  I imagine that Beatles, Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson tunes (regardless of whether you or I like them) are among the best sellers every year.  It used to be that artists got worked on their first hit and made the money on subsequent music.  And it's very difficult to have that 2nd hit--hence the expression 'one-hit wonder.'

Beside no one wanting to buy that Fresh now, are you going to be still listening to it 20 years from now or will the next generation be buying it 20 years from now?  I admit that commerical sales may not be the best measure of artistic talent.  But my ears don't lie.  That is not tuneful or distinct in any pleasant way.
