What's wrong with this sentiment?

>>71701659
By "everything" they usually mean they listen to the top 40's and nothing else. Also there is a lot of good rap music, disregarding an entire genre because you've heard one song by little Wayne is stupid

>>71701641
Are you sure? Because people on steam does not count.

>, disregarding an entire genre because you've heard one song by little Wayne is stupid
No, we disregard an entire genre because the genre itself is based on contrivance and catering to the least common denominator
>>71701700
Yep, I'm sure.

You didn't answer my question though.

listening to music of the lowest common denominator isn't something to take any pride in my m8s

check out The Roots

they're a hip-hop group that uses live instrumentation (full band)

and if you want abstract lyrics, check out Aesop Rock, Kool Keith, and maybe some MF DOOM

Not an argument.

>>71702020
>>71701866

They're not saying "I'M RIGHT!!!!", they're asking to be proven otherwise. Why not just provide some examples to counter their claim, rather than pretending they hold their belief not out of a failure on the part of others to refute their claims but out of blind stubbornness? Obviously you'll never be able to respond with exactly what they've asked to see, because what they've asked for is an unfairly loaded and specific request, but why not provide at least something that goes some way toward answering their question or contradicting their viewpoint?

I've already heard them. Your fallback retort "well you don't listen to the CORRECT artists!" really doesn't work as I've heard it all my whole life.

Face it, these two genres are the literal definition of "safe" music. Even artists who try to brake boundaries, don't really do that and try to do it in the safest way possible.

>>71702212
Not every good music needs the ambient background noise of an old washing machine or a mix of hebrew and korean lyrics

>>71702181
>>71702197
Oh were you implying we're the same person? Even if we were, the point stands so it doesn't really matter, change it to "I" if you'd rather.

>>71702250
Sure, but they would to not be an overly commercial and contrived genre that's really not worth any serious music listener's time

But have fun with your homies at the club, or fishin in the dark with boys.

Could you get off that high horse plox? I'm just trying to say that if you don't like rap music then that's fine, especially with good reasons. But you went a little unfair somewhere in this discussion when you made that overly specific request.

That's not really what's going on. Read the thread.

>>71702305

Whats with your diction friend? The way you speak reminds me of a middle schooler who got a word a day calendar for their birthday.

Your listening to music, no one cares if you enjoy something that is considered "commercial" or "contrived". If rap music isn't your thing that's fine, different strokes for different folks.

>>71702403
And what is this thread about then? 'Cause all I'm seeing is the part where you said you didn't like rap music and asked for rap music with abstract lyrics and 13 chord changes, which is an odd request and >>71702354
is right.

>>71702403
Where did you find that fedora quote?

Also, what is going on then, because it seems to me that someone's just defending why they think rap isn't good.

I straight up don't. I used to be familiar with what was popular in Rock, Back in the early 2000's, but I got so insulated as I got older that I fell our of the loop.

I try not to hold judgement over what's popular, but I hear it, and I just lose interest

You're old news grandpa

Popular music is not confined to what gets airplay. I used to despise anything pop but I've come to realise that there is some beautiful in being succinct. Twee music for example is an attempt to capture a very sincere goodness in the most perfect pop format. Not for everyone, sure, but there is more to music than compositional complexity.

>>71707942

Surely it's the other way around? The way I see it there is no way to really quantify "good" music, whilst taste can be determined somewhat objectively by comparing it to the taste of others.
