Alexander PushkinThe other exception to the rule regards dealings with masochists. A masochist derives pleasure from being hurt; so denying the masochist his pleasure through-pain hurts him just as much as actual physical pain hurts the non masochist.

If a person wants to be hurt and enjoys suffering, then there is no reason not to indulge him in his wont.

So sometimes it's better to have beats with less melodies in them, because then I can play more with my vocals.
