Kanye actually cites this song as to what woke him up to the fact that he was working for the devil, and decided to scrap his entire album and start working on a gospel album. He said he was listening to this song and just thought "What am I doing? This is horrible".
The album that he scrapped was going to be titled "Yandhi" and on his gospel album he has this line:
"The fans wanted Yanhdi/But Jesus Christ did the laundry"
I mean, I'm not knocking their hustle. They're making more money in a year than I'll EVER see. Plus they're down with the Don, but I could never call THAT "music".
As both an 'actual' and 'pretend' musician, this is absolutely correct. Some of the best musicians I know couldn't play a physical instrument to save their life.
Edit: Lol you pathetic salty cucks downvoting me. Hit me with a response argument so you can get told. I've got nigh on two decades behind a piano, and ten more years behind half a dozen other instruments. Come at me.
Devoid of all beauty and imagination with next to zero harmony or melody and puerile, gutter and plain lazy/dumbed down lyrics, along with dull choreography and ugly costumes.
I'm afraid your comment is actually being charitable towards it.
Nah you just dont get it. It's a fun song and the video is geared toward minecraft people. It's not gonna win any awards for BEST SONG EVER but it's important to understand not all things are meant to be judged by their complexities. Enjoy your high horse if you want but even the best musicians didn't take every single thing they wrote seriously. Where's the fun in that? Or did your music teacher teach all the fun out of you in your 12 years of music theory? You have 2 musicians with millions of followers each and your first reaction is to dust off your useless music degree instead of being like "yeah help those brainwashed retards break their programming woo!" This is the division we don't need. I'm sure you'll have the same impact on the music scene as these two musically challenged individuals one day.
Spez: Shoutout to the fags who care more about their rap music than their country.
My venting isn't just aimed at this particular 'song', but how 99.9% of all rap/hip-hop lacks the aforementioned musical content. Yes, this one manages somehow to be even more vacuous than most, but it's the general trend that's frustrating to me.
Secondly, I don't think good taste in music can be taught. I found my profs generally tended to have poor taste if anything. And simple and/or crazy/fun songs can be great of course. I don't expect simultaneous melody lines and interesting key changes from everything I listen to. But grating 'melodies' is something that's hard to ignore.
The lyrics get me too. In that culture, it usually tends to be about degrading or sick stuff, which might be arguably okay if it was just on occasion, but non-stop is too much (FWIW, I'm not Christian).
Anyway, I won't hate anyone for liking such music. I know awesome people who have what I consider terrible music taste, and we get along great. But what's life without a little dissonance sometimes? :)
I love it (his collab with Kanye) wasn't too bad: https://youtu.be/cwQgjq0mCdE

That... was music? What?

As an actual musician, I hate that shit with a fiery passion.
Wrong, wrong, and no.
Haha this is why kids are fucking retarded these days.
Name checks out...

MAGA 2020!
I'm not of that generation, but nice try :)
That song is a joke song not something that should be taken too seriously
Ok boomer 😜
Agreed. Standards matter. This trash that appeals to the most common denominator isn't music.
