This board really is full of underage
>>72816568
>people can't have different opinions
>>72816733
>People should be encouraged to have objectively shit opinions
>>72816762
why not have people enjoy what they wanna enjoy
>>72816864
Enjoy whatever you want, but thinking that an album of popular music is the best thing released in a decade just makes you a philistine.
>>72816568
>Death Grips
>Pop
It might be popular among the weird pseudo-intellectual crowd but it's far from popular.
>>72816888
If I was unclear, I was referring to popular music. Which Death Grips is.
>>72815486
Easy choice.
>>72816901
how out of touch with reality are you man?
>>72816915
>Popular music is music with wide appeal that is typically distributed to large audiences through the music industry.
> These forms and styles can be enjoyed and performed by people with little or no musical training.
How out of touch with culture are you?
>>72816864
You can enjoy whatever the hell you want man, that doesn't make it close to being album of the decade. Just because someone gives you shit for your opinion doesn't mean you cant have it, it just means it might be shit and that if you really thought it wasn't a shit opinion you wouldn't feel the need to validate yourself to anonymoose
Of course that it is pic related.
>>72816943
the thread was your AOTD, not the AOTD lol
>>72816968
That came out in 2000
We've not had this yet?
>>72816937
exmil definitely doesn't have appeal to your average music consumer.
>>72816993
So what you're trying to tell me is that you made a super shallow thread that gaurentees shit replies?
>>72817039
Are you really this dense? Are you claiming that it's art music?
>>72817047
i didn't make it
>>72817056
Ah, well it can be hard to tell that here as you know
>>72817050
nah, just saying that calling death grips pop music is pretty wrong
>>72816901
pop music is not popular music, pop is a genre
if you think popular = bad you are a fucking retard mate
>>72817073
not that guy, but he does have a point, you can group 90% of /mu/ under pop music
no contest
>>72817077
I already clarified.
I don't think popular music is bad, but I do think it's worse than art music.
>>72817073
Is it art music? Is it traditional music? Or is it popular music?
one for all you sounding traps out there
thx to my emo bf
2010 still counts?
surprised this hasn't been posted
>>72815486
I know I'm weird but this is the only full album from Death Grips I like. Everything else has at most three tracks I can enjoy.
>>72816901
But wouldn't you expect the AOTD to have at least popularity within it's own genre or subgenre? Unless everyone is a pleb but you, of course.
>>72817120
does it have to be labeled under any of those? seems like a false dichotomy to me
>>72816568
autistic nigger bangs on piano mindlessly
>better than death grips
Pitchfork was too low
>>72817164
forgot pic rip
>>72817020
This is probably correct.
Also the whole art music vs. pop music vs. traditional music debate that's going on in this thread is fucking dumb.
1) those terms mostly only exist today as a means of rejecting music criticism that attempts to draw a strict line between high and low art
2) they're not even widely-used terms
3) and anyway, under those terms, Death Grips would be art music
>>72817183
it's not hard being better than meme grips
>>72817020
>not even kendrick's AOTD
>>72817177
also while we're at it, why aren't pop and art music mutually inclusive? I think it's pretty dumb to look down on music just because more people listen to it
>>72817120

>>72816856

Hip hop will never EVER have the best album of anything where it's up against other genres, no matter how often you post it.
Why are there so many shit albums posted here, seriously?
>>72817177
some spergs on /mu/ discovered some wikipedia articles that drew on Philip Tagg's musical history theory without recognizing that Philip Tagg was specifically trying to *complicate* the ways we traditionally think about music and *ultimately reject* a rigid hierarchical dichotomy for music
but w/e it's a quick way to say "fuck your music cuz your music has words in it"

Yes, popular.
>false dichotomy
Take it up with music scholarship, not me.
I'm not looking down on anything, there is a precise definition of art music.

Another philistine who doesn't know what popular music is.

I take it you haven't met him.
>>72817206
>3) and anyway, under those terms, Death Grips would be art music
I wasn't aware Death Grips was notated and the structure was formalized, as well as not being originally disseminated through mass media. I guess you learn something new every day.
>>72817250
what if it's up against twee pop for best hardcore rap album?
>>72817165
If we're talking about the decade that ends in 2020, then no it doesn't.
There is no Year 0, decades, centuries, and millenniums begin with "1" years.
>>72817309
oh well, I guess this one
>>72817298
I'm gonna type this as simply as I can:
you are completely misstating the definition of a term that has been almost completely rejected by mainstream music criticism
>>72817346
[who?]
>>72817309
that really isn't true though
>>72815486
hahahah how do you fuckers listen to this crap?
this is one of the worst pieces of shit i've ever heard but it's unintentionally hillarious so good choice I guess
>>72817298
It must suck to live life boxed in this way. I feel for you, brother. You'll be in my thoughts.

>>72817298
>Take it up with music scholarship, not me
>"I didn't make the definition, I just think it's valid and use it to interpret the world"
If you're going to attempt to weasel out of it like that why even bother having this argument?
>there is a precise definition of art music
And that definition is correct, valid, or useful because...
>there is a precise definition of art music
>you don't subscribe to a theory about an arbitrary trichotomy that categorizes all music, you must not understand it!
ebic
>>72817337
I wasn't trying to sound autistic, but it would be like asking if 2021 counted. It just doesn't.
>>72817384
>the first decade in the AD's began in 1 BC and ended in 9 AD
it's shit
>OR the first decade in the AD's began in 1 AD and ended in 10 AD
which would not be shit.
Starting decades at 0 years is fine if you're just talking about pop culture over the last hundred years or so, but that system breaks if you go back far enough and has decades ending on 8 years.
>>72817353
>[please cite to a single source listing every music critic who rejects hierarchical divisions in music classification (even that I know good and well that this is pretty much every modern music critic) as if you were citing to a paper proving the existence of water on Mars]
This isn't science. This is the arbitrary classification of music. If you want to impose your specific arbitrary hierarchical system onto it, the burden rests with you to cite to authority--and hopefully you have quite a lot of it.
I will just throw it out there that half of the Wikipedia Page on "art music" is spent criticizing the term and citing music historians who reject it, so maybe you should fix that wikipedia page while you're at it.
Here ya go
>>72817508
Not every source, just any. I haven't heard anything about it being rejected. If what you're saying is true, I'll adjust my thinking.
>>72817508
>hierarchical
No. See, you claim to understand what the system is, and then you reveal with one word that you're just angry because you think people are putting down your favorite popular music for not being art music.
>>72817590
What's amusing is that you aren't even saying anything about the quality and people got way too defensive.
>>72817270
>Wew on that post
Wew lad
>>72817508
I actually agree with you, but if it was "basically every music critic" (which I agree it is) it wouldn't be hard to list at least two or three critics.
>I will just throw it out there that half of the Wikipedia Page on "art music" is spent criticizing the term and citing music historians who reject it
Maybe you're looking at a different page than I am, but I'm not seeing that at all. What it DOES have is over half the page talking about how some genres previously classed as popular are now classed as art, and how certain popular genres have struggled to receive accreditation as art genres to varying levels of success. Again I disagree with the very classification as a whole but don't point to a wikipedia page as an example when you clearly didn't read it.
>>72817623
He called people who like """popular""" music underage, gee I wonder why people got defensive.
>>72817681
>He called people who like """popular""" music underage
The reading comprehension on this board goes up every year.
Also, only underage gets angry about being called underage.
>>72817298
>not looking down
>a pop album is automatically disqualified from being album of the decade and anyone who disagrees must be underage
really gets my noggin joggin
>>72817732
I have yet to hear a popular album as good as any art music. If you disagree, please tell me which popular album you are thinking of.
And yes, there is obviously a very high correlation between people who ignore art music and underage users. Just because you simplify my post doesn't mean I'm wrong.
>>72816968
nigga
>>72817723
>Also, only underage gets angry about being called underage
Personally I haven't gotten offended for being called anything here for years, but it's still retarded to accuse someone of being something that is obviously seen as bad here (and the accusation was meant to be an insult) and then wonder why they got defensive.
I only take issue with what he's said because I dislike the pop/art/traditional shit, but he is correct that he has a good deal of scholarship on his side.
>>72817780
I like Yeezus but as far as expr rap goes it's fairly surface level.

>The reading comprehension on this board goes up every year.

>Taking that statement as anything other than an attempted slight against people who post music that doesn't fall under his retarded "art" definition
oh boy
easily the most musically diverse, yet catchy album of the decade
>>72817892
finally
one of the 10-12 albums that i would give a 5/5. just astonishing stuff.

Nah, you just ball-lick the elitists because you can't arrive at any conclusions on your own or argue for the superiority of your musical tastes without meaningless terms like art music. Nobody is impressed

>>72817250
Correct. The best hip-hop albums of all time are 7/10.
>>72817250
These meme-rappers, if they were anything other than coal black nogs pushed by record executives who figured out they can market nigger rap music effectively as the IQ of the United States plummets to 94, would be considered jokes of the same stature as Corey Feldman, Brokencyde, and Kevin Federline.

Nothing that has come out in the past decade is worthy of being called Album of the Decade. At least not yet.
>>72816519
i just don't see the big deal with this
>>72817184
Like, musically this album is just such a cacophony of forced prose, and the instrumentals aren't that groundbreaking, but it's still one of the most beautiful albums I have ever listened to.
Could someone please explain why this is?
>>72822281
its just captivating as fuck. the simple melodies and grooves are beautiful while his vocals add the cherry on top. it creates songs that just hit that soft spot for so many people based on sound alone.
the lyrics are another story. the fucking stories man.
is it bad my album of all time came out in this decade?
Peste Noire - L'Ordure A L'Etat Pur
Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory
Current 93 - I Am the Last of the Field that Fell
Deathspell Omega - Paracletus
Baroness - Red
Just my favorites
>>72816888

>He doesn't realize that the greatness of yeezus is mixing industrial hip-hop with straight up pop and it could matter less how experimental it is
>>72819892
Read the post I made previous to that, in the Western calendar there has never been a "year zero", it goes from 1 BC to 1 AD.
>the time between 0 and 1 AD
Even without what I just said, there's no time gap between years. That wouldn't make any sense.
>>72823123
>implying that's in any way contradicted by what I said
I was only saying that because most people I've met who like it are convinced it's some out-there experimental masterpiece, when in reality it's just a really fucking good alt/pop rap album with some influences from industrial as well as other lesser known genres.
>>72820928

Allelujah! is also fairly weak when compared to Asunder, which boasts Godspeed's best drone to date. Their Helicopters' Sing is excellent, but it doesn't lead to anything. Mladic and We Drift Like Worried Fire are huge steps backward after the well-developed songs in Yanqui. They just abuse rapid changes in tone after long periods of music that progress naturally but are ultimately aimless time after time. Strung Like Lights is worthless
