The Bottom Line C ya!

Alright. This isn't b*tching. This isn't another Epinions has failed me schtick that we've seen so much of recently. This isn't a money matter. This is just goodbye.

Very simply, I am running out of time. I don't have cancer, you twit, I mean I'm running out of time to write reviews on EPS. I've got to many commitments in my life right now - journalism, radio, lectures, friends, girlfriend, hip-hop, my MCing career - to write here anymore. I know that sounds like a sh*tty excuse, and it is. But the fact remains that I just do not have the time to write that much anymore. And for that I am truly sorry.

Loking back, I'm amazed at how little I've done. 80 reviews in four years? Um. Still, it has been fun. It's improved my writing skills immeasurably, given me a better perspective on hip-hop music. And for that, I am immensely thankful.

Thankful not just to this messed up, bugged to hell yet awesome site called Epinions, but also to the people that make it what it is. I'll single out a few individuals in a moment, but I suggest you go and look at the good writers list on my profile. If you're there, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

An extra special thanks to:

Andrewtarr - for having the guts to give his address to someone he met over the Net and for being receptive to music he'd never heard before. Thanks for the review buddy, it was a pleasure and a priviledge.

Bigd99999 - for his comments, kind words and dope lyrics. God luck with the MCing bruv, keep your isht up.

Madtheory - Keep it coming, dude. Don't ever stop.

Badkittym - for all the support, even on the kakest of articles. Thank you!

Also, a few middle fingers up.

Guile176 - for even thinking I plagiarised my Gran Turismo 2 review. What do you take me for, you overinflated, self-opinionated fool?

pvreditor and shoplmart - for slagging off my car review because it didn't conform to the what they thought it should be. Grow up.

Right, that's done. Some good news. Firstly, just because I won't be writing doesn't mean that I'll not be around. I will still check out and rate all of your reviews, whoever you are, and leave a few comments now and then. There is far too much talent on this site to leave it unlooked at. So I'll be around.

And if you're really hankering for more Boffie (and if not, why not?) you can go to www.underdog.rucus.net, a student ezine based at Rhodes that I right for, and www.outlowd.com, a US based Internet music magazine that I have contracted to right for and am hip-hop editor of. I hope you enjoy them.

Without further bull, I wish you all the fondest of adieus. You will see me, and I will see you around, and I will keep reading all of you. Peace love and hairgrease, hamba kahle bantu. I'll catch you later.

Peace!!!!!!

Rob One
