<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Well considering the fact that one is 13 and the other is 14 its not that unbelievable that these kids are getting mad or frustrated at all the negative criticism. Imagine you have a 13 year old brother and he brings home a B on a test on a subject he sucked at. How do you think he would feel if you said to him , " You fail at life, you didn't get an A". Its not as easy as "don't let this **** hurt your feelings" as it should be more of a morality on your part. It isn't cool or funny to post pictures or make fun of their attempts. </div>
Although some people have said blatantly cruel things to both of them, they have recieved thier share of support/encouragement as well. The fact is that they tend to soak in more of the negativities rather then focus on the advice people give them. And you mentioning the "getting a B" example proves my point exactly. If I'm telling them NOT to take this seriously, that this is a MESSAGE BOARD, and that they're not in school, they're not being graded on everything they do, shouldn't it be relatively simple to comprehend?
The ironic thing is that Umair keeps saying that he himself sucks and laughs at himself yet when other people bring that point towards him, he gets mad. Everyone has thier limitations and boundaries...keystyling, freestyling, any form of hiphop is going to generate heavy interest and it takes self-assurance to do so. If you're going to crack, regardless of your age, at a level as simple and as non-practical as this, then I feel sorry for you.
If you're afraid of people ridiculing you, don't enter a rap tourney in the first place. If you really want to rap, you'll get better with time, negativities don't matter.
Once again, a keystyling battle and any reference to life evnts is totally irrelevant.
