Congratulations, you base your music taste on memes
i like him
I don't get how people can rave about Fleet Foxes. seriously just absolutely boring, drab, drawn out echo-y "folk" music if you can call it that. There are so many bands that do this way better (Bon Iver, Rural Alberta Advantage, Volcano Choir) and I don't even like 2 out of those three.
They are literally the 1% milk of bands -- yeah it exists but theres no real justification for it
What's yours?
Congrats on not liking a thing

I never got into Helplessness Blues but their debut has everything I could ask for in a modern folk record– great songwriting, instrumentation, harmonies, and production.
Tiger Mountain Peasant Song and The Shrine / An Argument are good songs. Else than that, I agree. They can be really boring.

>Now, a thought experiment: How would you respond to your life being given a numeric ranking? Is that what your salary is? Is that what your Twitter follower count is? An index of your importance? An index of your value? If you quickly shoot back, "Of course not, that can't be quantified", well, now you know how artists feel when you paint these numbers on our backs. If I said "From my perspective as a tenured academic and published author, I give your life as a freelance music journalist a 6.5 out of 10", it would sound smug and gross. Only an asshole would say that. Why would you feel better about the inherent disconnect between the complexity of a life and the singularity of a number if the number was just a little higher? Are we talking about the pain of low numbers or the problem with numbers as such? Numbers are incredibly useful sometimes, but they are a bad substitute for a thick description of what something does, how it functions, how it feels to be alive within it.
>It would be fair enough, if easy, to disregard such carping as base hypocrisy, since I have skin in the game, and at some level want you to buy my record rather than someone else's (even worse hypocrisy: I grade student essays for a living!). But it's also that, as an artist, I truly don't find the question, "What's a better record, X or Y?" to be a meaningful question. So, in conclusion, let me repeat Reason Eight once more, with feeling: Each artwork proposes its own terms of judgment, sets its own goals, defines its own world, proposes anew its own set of relationships to what precedes it, implies a distinct way of being in the world. Yes, I'm saying that every record really is its own special fucking snowflake. Even the "worst" (by whatever rubric) record in the world proposes its goals, its relationships, its way of being. Believing that, I can't endorse comparative assessment as a quantifiable activity. Art objects can be described, endlessly, in their complex specificity, and described, endlessly, in the wide historical and cultural range of their effects as they move in time and across territory. But they can't be mapped onto curves or arcs of achievement relative to each other, or tracked and assessed in terms of their aesthetic success or failure, without begging certain basic questions about the grounding of such aesthetic judgments in the first place. Those questions might yield to sustained critical argument, but they can't be resolved by making, sharing or reading lists. And they aren't demonstrated by tagging numbers onto artistic achievement either.

>Which is why we should give up the practice of presenting lists and numbered rankings as if they offered shortcuts to understanding entire selves or entire genres, and stop writing soft-serve quickie primers that can stand in for personal engagement and research and first hand experience. Which is why we as artists should stop writing lists for websites when we are asked to do so, and instead do something else, or, failing that, encourage listeners to embark on their own journeys into the archive, and report back about one-on-one encounters with the treasures that they find. We should stop these phoney "Desert Island Disc" scenarios of imaginary scarcity. We should stop waging these "battles for the top of the heap" between art objects. We should stop thinking that one thing being good in its particular way means that another thing cannot also be good in its own, different, just-as-particular way. Stop playing favourites. Stop writing listicles.

There's no reason for me to care about anything a person who looks like that has to do or say. What an absolute cornball.

There ya go.
XXXTENTACION is the greatest musician alive. You could even say he's the Frank Zappa of our generation. He is not just another manufactured rap star, he is a complete artist. He is not someone that is being controlled by a record label. X is singlehandedly one of the most innovative and unique rap artists of this decade.
He is a melodic genius, his beats are experimental, innovative, unique, he isn't afraid to experiment, he is constantly evolving and changing his style. XXXTENTACION, from the beginning, has always pushed boundaries and has continued to make progressive music that others could only hope to imitate.
His voice is an instrument. He wants you to look beyond just the lyrics. They are there just to complement the music, they are an application of the voice as an instrument rather than a medium for verbal communication and storytelling. His voice and his sounds are something that no one else is doing. XXXTENTACION obviously isn't a Kendrick/Drake type of rapper with outstanding rapping ability but he still manages to make better music than them.
His mixtape, Revenge, is an extremely introspective and personal record. It allows you to better understand the perspective and emotions of Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy. The mixtape has become a bridge for white youth to enjoy the art of the black inner city and empathize with the likes of X and that is what is so wonderful about art. We are able to see who he really is and understand him. The introductory interview on 103.5 The Beat shows that he is a surprisingly soft-spoken young man and it gives you all the more reason to care about him.
There was no XXXTENTACION before XXXTENTACION. He is not emulating anyone, he isn't trying to be anyone. He has no influences. When Look At Me! came out of nowhere, everyone loved it because nothing sounded like it.
He has accomplished so much at such a young age, can you imagine what his music is going to sound like in 5 years?
Is that the "artist" from that Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode about the crazy giant spider?
