| #1 / Fri, 22 Jun 12 19:36 There is too much beef these days. What's the point in engaging with people who obviously have no interest in the discourse or legacy of their music? Sound should speak for itself and, most of the time, it does.
What you don't tweet tweets volumes.

| #5 / Sat, 23 Jun 12 11:26 Who cares what others are doing...if he is so true too himself why can't he just rise above what he doesn't like...if everyone was super into his music then he probably wouldn't be into it any more...

| #9 / Sat, 23 Jun 12 14:38 I think in all fairness to Sneak, MEOKO did ask the question, he never just started rambling on about it. He got asked and he gave his honest answer!

| #10 / Sat, 23 Jun 12 15:01 cant you see its all about stirring controversy for more publicity ? to no ones defense, music is an art-form and anyone has the right to do what they want, thats the beauty of it. Dont like it ? move on, find your place and be happy

| #11 / Sat, 23 Jun 12 16:09 i happen to agree with sneak here, but it's a matter of personal taste. i strongly dislike tiesto and skrillex, but every kid i meet who claims to like "electronic dance music" inevitably asks me "do you listen to tiesto?" and i have to very nicely explain that that shit is way below me in the scope of my musical taste. does that make snobby? yes. it was hard for me to watch MTV, and then MTV2, and then all decent music outlets on TV, nosedive, downward spiral into complete commercial dystopia. sneak and i sit back and think "some of the evolution of music in my lifetime has been difficult to go through".

| #12 / Sun, 24 Jun 12 04:31 i am around a lot of young folks for work, and when the subject of music/techno comes up, they always ask me if i know of, such and such, (see i can't even remember who the fuck) i always say ' yeah thats cool! i love techno too!!! but it not the same kind of techno" and smile, gotta just be positive with them. ha, i have even put on some proper jammers and told them it was 'deadmas' and they were like, "YEAH!!! COOL!!!" thus proving the point (to me at least..) that they are just into the fad of it, they only hear beats and breaks and build ups and shit like that, but are yet to immature to understand that its crappy water down dance music, that even C+C Music Factory can put to shame.
But i gotta say, I used to worship Sneak back in the day, mid-late 90's, if i could have been like an dj, it was him! Was delighted to hear/see him play at movement two years ago, he still had the ORGANIC purity about him!

| #13 / Sun, 24 Jun 12 15:18 He's definitely banging on about them to boost his own profile, but he undeniably a house music god comparded to those 3 c*nts, so can't say am shedding tears for them! It is pretty ridiculous that they have "house" in their name when you listen to most of their stuff. Where will all the c*nts that go to see them go now though, thats my worry! They were serving a purpose, like spiders catcing flies

| #14 / Sun, 24 Jun 12 18:52 I wouldn't be surprised IF, someone asked him some while ago in regards to his 'House Gangsta' claim, if he had anything to say about the 'House Mafia from Sweden' , haha, that would be a good reason to all of this.

| #18 / Mon, 25 Jun 12 13:37 Funny. I always have thought the era and sound of "house" that cats like Sneak ushered in was the precise thing soldiers of the deep like Danny Wang were making tactical strikes against because they were cookie cutter cuts.
