Another Person posted:still a good song, was is and will be for a long time It is sad that people can't like good music because it is different than the trends. As much poo poo people give Macklemore, Thrift Shop is a good song and should have been made sooner. The same can be said for Childish or Chance. They make slightly different, optimistic kind of music that isn't compatible with most of the stuff that's popular but stands up on its own. It is just stands alone. Time gon tell.

temple posted:Yeah I like it too. It is the kind of song that is listenable for a long time. I can throw on GKMC and play it front to back any day. I actually have to stop listening to albums sometimes because I might burn out on them. I'm sorry, do you even bother to think about what you write? Like there's not one thing in what you said that is backed up by anything in reality whatsoever. As for that Kendrick song, dudes don't like it because it's corny as hell. Lots of dudes don't care for pop rap. It's not because it's somehow groundbreaking, it's because it's usually dumbed down for mass consumption. "Cartoons & Cereal" was a song that went against trends, "I" is trying to follow them. Macklemore won a grammy and sold like 100000000000 records, how are people not liking him? And how is "generic pop rap" somehow different from whatever "trends" you seem to be going on about? He's Vanilla Ice, and you see how well time looks upon his poo poo. Thrift Shop is a fun (if hypocritical and classist/mildly racist song), but it's also 100% pop. It's a worse version of something I would've expected to hear on Rhymesayers 5 years or so ago (worse from a rap perspective). Chance gets praised like constantly around here (and everywhere). He's made all of 2 mixtapes, and dudes were all over both of them. And fwiw he's about 10x better at making good music than either of the other two clowns you mentioned. Like who is not liking him? I think the biggest complaint I heard about Acid Rap was that it was uneven (which it was). And donglover isn't disliked because he's making music different from some nebulous "trends", it's because he sucks. When he's not making YMCMB ripoffs, he's whining about how people don't take him seriously, how his life is so hard, or whatever other nonsense he tries to put out. He seriously makes some of the mopiest, sorriest, self-pitying music around, where do you think his stuff is at all optimistic? When he first started and was literally a Lil Wayne cover act most people were just kinda like "ehh, he's whatever" because even though there was nothing special about his stuff, it was also unoffensive. It wasn't until he started making more "personal" music that rap listeners started making GBS threads on him because his whole idea in rap seemed to be the most unlikeable dude ever, without actually making good enough music to overcome that. Seriously you have this weird idea that people don't like donglover because they're brainwashed sheep or something. When the fact is he loving sucks. His music is entirely compatible and entirely derivative of other, better stuff. All he adds is an obnoxious personality. You want slightly different, optimistic music? Rock the new Migos tape.

Gkmc is a great album and kendrick will definitely bring out another good release but i is badddd. Maybe people would like it better if it'd come out during the summer? It's very corny. Then again another TDE song, Man of the Year by Q, definitely felt like a summer jam but it came out like December and people still loved it

Hey guys, I'm really getting into hip-hop lately, and have been listening to Kanye West quite obsessively. I wanted to ask if there are similar artists out there in terms of production, with a majestic, sweeping feel like MBDTF, songs like Jesus Walks, Diamonds in Sierra Leone, Power, All of the Lights, Lost in the World, etc. I guess I just like stuff that's dramatic and climactic with an 'epic' feel. I haven't heard much else like it, some Jay Z maybe. But my exposure to hip hop is fairly minimal. I'd love some recommendations.

If an rapper gets popular without making gangsta killa music, then they become corny. I shouldn't have to mention the countless blogs, reviews, youtubes rushing to criticize Kendrick's new single. About as many people like Chance as hate him. How you fail to mention that is pretty funny. I think I piss you and other people off because you, yes you, have opinions that fit in a box and you are basically an unaware hipster. But people are going to deny that hipsters exist because most music fans in 20__ fit the description of a hipster on most levels. If chance or childish or kendrick stayed small, people would be championing them. But when they get popular, then they become "uneven, disappointing, problematic". I can write your posts and most music reviews before they come out. This isn't unique to rap, rock has went through this as well. Video games suffer from the same level of uninspired writing as well. Good music is music you like and everything else is bad or at best "middling". I read that and the other 3 words in just about every music review and you sound pretty much identical to them. Macklemore is a good rapper and makes cool music. He's white, smiles, made a song about gay people, and doesn't talk about drugs a bunch, Ergo, he's corny. He is an easy target, much like childish who is the same but black. You and most others can't help but fall for that bait every time and show how much you are influenced by image and marketing as the average person. Like I said above, that's probably why it pisses you off when people look past the obvious criticisms and talk about the actual music. Your criticism is directed more of the people that like <insert popular artist> than of the music. Hipsterism. temple fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Nov 17, 2014 |

I don't know if it's the exact opposite, but it's definitely a lot more "mainstream" sound than most of his other songs. That said I don't doubt his ~artistic integrity~ or w/e at all for a second (dude's always made songs you could consider corny, they're just not usually also covered in a pop sound) so it's w/e. I'm pretty much with you in that I'm not a fan of the song (although it's grown on me, the vid does help a lot) but it's not like some big sellout moment or w/e too.

temple posted:You are a contrarian. Migos is different optimistic music? You don't say? I haven't heard it but I have no reason to believe that from their past music. Migos is pop rap. Every rapper sounds like them. You are just dumb contrary opinions. Dude, seriously. You have no idea what you're talking about. Quit trying to defend horrible poo poo. About as many hate Chance as like him? That's pretty much everyone with a mildly different sound. Kanye gets that poo poo all the time, despite having like near universal praise for his music. Not everyone is gonna like everything. Migos were a regional act who got popular, and then dudes tried to bite their flow. How is that "pop"? And who isn't championing Kendrick? Dude put out what most people are already classifying as a classic album, and people are glad. I've said repeatedly how it's very very good that he can put out an album of the exact kind of music he wants to make, and have it sell tons. I would absolutely love if more of the dudes I listened to made it big. Dude has one song people don't like, and now apparently everyone hates him? Also, quit throwing in donglover in all your poo poo. He's not on those other dudes level. Seriously, people didn't "hate" him because he got "big"-they hate him because he's obnoxious, self-entitled, self-pitying, and doesn't make music nearly good enough to overcome all of that (actually, I can see how you like his music, since most of the stuff you post is also obnoxious, self-entitled, self-pitying, and isn't nearly interesting enough to overcome all of that) You're the only one who keeps bringing up "image" and "marketing" and whatnot and ignoring the music. I listen to Anticon and Busdriver, why would I care about someone being white and/or corny? You don't "piss people off". You're not some iconoclast, fighting against "hipsterism". You're just some idiot anachronism who can't understand music that's not fed to you on the radio/MTV/BET. And when people repeatedly call you out on your dumbass poo poo, you get all pissy an offended and think people aren't talking about the music when in reality it's you who's ignoring the music. I mean seriously how is anyone holding back donglover for not talking about drug poo poo (which he does, btw, which you'd know if you actually listened to his music) when Kanye and Drake are like the biggest rappers out? Seriously, it's not even like you have old-man opinions, you just have dumbass opinions.

Macklemore won a Grammy because he is a champion for gay rights, the same reason Dallas Buyer's Club won Oscars it's a huge issue right now. He sucks though and his whole aura is bitchmade plus he'll never be as relevant as he was last year after that Jewish outfit he wore. I saw that SNL thing and I'm hating on all of it really hard. Kendrick looks fat and unkempt like he's channeling the fugees and I want him to make songs about gang poo poo. Also Temple Vice wrote that garbage article about "I" being the most important song of a generation or something and if that isn't some self-aggrandizing poo poo right in line with how hipsters are then I don't know what is. That song was made for fat women who post on tumblr.

It's actually the fact that dude tweeted it out makes me think he's more of a joke. temple posted:And that's why you shouldn't criticize anyone else's taste in music ever. You couldn't pick a cornier rapper than Busdriver. The only difference between Busdriver and Childish is about several thousand fans. See, that's the thing-the fact you think Busdriver and donglover are only separated by the size of the fanbase lets me know you don't pay attention to either of their music. Again, most people I believe around here have moved past needing MTV to give an artist their stamp of approval and have some label payola some dude's songs into heavy rotation before declaring them "good". I understand it must be very scary for you to not be considered "cool" and "in the know" by turning on TRL or 106 & Park or whatever. But there's a whole world of good music out there that hasn't gone platinum (and never will!). The millions of Macklemore fans that just popped up after his pop single are irrelevant when discussing his music in a rap context, or when discussing the quality of music. Do you also get mad at restaurant reviewers for not giving McDonalds more praise because billions of people eat there? And please, feel free to criticize my taste if you want (although I'll let you know it IS unassailable). Although that's still ignoring the music (which is something you claimed "hipsters" do). When I talk about Macklemore and how his music is lame, I'm not talking about his fanbase, or some internet retard's taste-I'm talking about him and his music. Same with donglover-the opinions of a bunch of Community fans who like laughing at the cornball brother are irrelevant to the fact that the content of his music is garbage.

temple is probably the only poster here who makes long posts that is grounded in reality.

Do you realize how pathetic you look when you dismiss any catch song with a positive message as "corny" because it's not made by some lame rear end internet rapper talking about how he has to ride (or drive, I guess) the bus?
