yeah, reddit, paragons of social justice where Young Thug did an IAMA about being a rapper and one of the most popular questions was "how old are you and what crimes have you committed"

temple posted:Love Below was a mess of an album. Hardly. No, it wasn't the Outkast rap album to answer all fans' needs but it was an interesting, if self-indulgent, glimpse into the world of music that André would make if unfettered from the Dungeon Family expectations. The main difference for me between Love Below and TPAB is that Love Below seemed to have a certain level of tongue-in-cheek-ness to it; I didn't get the feeling that André thought he was penning an opus to the institution of love. There was too much humor for something like that. Calling it a mess of an album may be applicable depending on how you chose to receive the content, production, and artistic choices but if you truly believe that I think you're looking at it from the wrong angle.

If he was being 100% genuine with those skits and songs I can enjoy them with the same state of mind that allows me to be a gigantic Morrissey fan- appreciate the emotion that allowed them to make such over-the-top music and consider the hyperbolic nature as exaggeration for the sake of emphasis. See also; Prince.

since he's been brought up a couple times in the last few pages I just wanted to remind everyone that rapper Childish Gambino created his stage name via a Wu-Tang Clan name generator.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:It's because it's 80 minutes and the majority of that runtime isn't very interesting. Plus it has some stupid rear end rhymes (along with some good ones) and laughably bad tracks like that "dick ain't free" track and the one with the Tupac interview. god drat I know you have a bad rep for being hilariously out of touch with how normal people process and evaluate things but honestly expecting that music critics should fall in line with your (typically terrible) opinions takes your cluelessness to another level

I know a lot of people have criticized Kendrick for coming off as too try-hard-y with the funk angle but I'll be damned if Bronson hasn't done a surprisingly good job of adopting (OR APPROPRIATING?!?!?!?!?!?!) the blues/rock sound for a lot of the tracks off Mr. Wonderful. Turns out Easy Rider wasn't just a one-off throwback production and I'm glad.

perhaps you only hear people taking him seriously "on the internet" because you have surrounded yourself with equally bigoted pieces of poo poo who should never be taken seriously in any regard. just a thought.

guys absolutely nothing that young thug does should ever be confused with down-low culture the entire point of down-low is being closeted to the point where nobody knows that you're gay or bi. how the hell is this such a difficult concept for you to grasp.

temple posted:I doubt there is an audience for go-go influenced hiphop at all. Even Def Jam tried back in the day. I feel like go-go influences/drums will perpetually be a sound that you'll hear pop up once every few years for a big single, will have a bunch of heads on the internet download the entire Rare Essence catalogue, then fade back into regional obscurity again. And that's a drat shame because it's some of the most fun & energetic music music of the last few decades, doubly so when you consider the live performance aspects. Despite not being a "true" go-go sample if there were more music like this being made/popularized on a national scale I'd be a much happier person; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfjF4eCxIvg
