I just find it funny when this dude comes out and pretty much says Kanye isn't doing anything interesting when Kanye debuts his album at Madison Square Garden all while showing off his high fashion line and video game about his dead mom flying to heaven. Kanye is literally the only musician right now who is trying to push his art further and further.

Who cares how prominent this guy is. Keith Richards has terrible opinions about music too. Kanye probably shouldn't even reply to poo poo like this, but, y'know, that's Kanye's Achilles Heel, the constant insecurity.

Hopefully this is the last time he ever speaks of Kanye (he it should be).

nate fisher posted:But bragging about not knowing 'facts' does show something? I guess I started this because I said Bob was the first producer I ever knew by name (when I purchased The Wall on vinyl, and I read every liner note, and of course he showed up on the post-Roger albums too). In all fairness I am a big Pink Floyd fan, so I guess it is easy for me to know who he is. Actually, yes. Disavowing knowledge of some "important" nobody from 30+ years ago in rock is a way of combating the rockist orthodoxy found to this day in a lot of how music is discussed. The same thing came up a couple years ago when Paul McCartney was on some special and a bunch of people were asking who he was. Some were genuine, but a lot of people also followed suit after the inevitable responses about how "dumb" people are today for not knowing about him-basically they were denying that he (and the generation that his music represents) has relevance and/or power today. And the implications were much the same now, where there's a subtle air of condemnation towards people not knowing about some dude who was a knob-twidder for a bunch of oldies. That somehow if you're to be considered knowledgeable about music you should know who this dude is when in reality the's only relevant at all because he commented about Kanye.

According to French Montana, Kanye apparently also tried to do everything "in his power" to get Max B out of jail upon finding out who he is

I mean, it's perfectly fine from a casual perspective, and there's nothing wrong with casual appreciation of art, but outright dismissing music under some false moniker of "relevancy" is dumb. Are the Beatles current? No. Are the Beatles relevant? The band that gets covered all the time and whose appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show inspired multiple references, so on, so forth? Yeah, I'd say they're still relevant. The people who don't know who Paul McCartney is are like the people who don't know who Woodrow Wilson is... it's fine, but a lot of understanding of context gets lost in the process. Having said all that, Kanye has never done anything as hosed up as lying to his own kids about their grandparents' death just to get some emotional reaction, so gently caress that dude.

The people who don't know who Paul McCartney is are like the people who don't know who Woodrow Wilson is... it's fine, but a lot of understanding of context gets lost in the process. See that's the thing. Woodrow Wilson was president and had a huge impact on history. Paul McCartney was a dude in a popular boy band. That's the very attitude lots of folks are trying to get away from by dismissing dinosaur rock bands as irrelevant. I'd also argue that the Beatles had very little (to no) impact on most black music, even though they were pretty much entirely derivative of black music at the time. I mean you're kinda proving my point-it's like your saying "rockism is stupid but ROCK!!". I mean how am I "casually" appreciating rap (or house, or r&b, or 2step, or whatever) by not slavishly worshiping the Beatles? If I'm listening to Oasis? Yeah sure, it would probably let me view their work in a different light with some knowledge of them. But there's a whole giant musical legacy that didn't flow from the font of white dude guitars and you can be the least casual dude ever and still not give a gently caress about some rock.
