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 an actual musician who's toured nationally for a living playing 'real' instruments, and who now also makes completely electronic music - the latter is a thousand times harder, and requires infinitely more knowledge and skill to master.
Whatever sound people put their soul into is music, and you'll never convince anyone otherwise with that pathetic attitude.
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? :)
Word. I just wanted to let people know that even if you're right about something you can still be wrong in the end. It's not a complex arrangement designed to inspire awe in its audience. It's literally a joke song for minecrafters who can now point to it and be like "YEAH WELL KANYE AND NOW RICK SANCHEZ SUPPORT US!"
I come from a long line of musicians so it irks me if they get on their fucking high horse when in the end the only thing that matters is if your audience was able to connect with your music. Doesn't matter if it's EDM/Mariachis/Pop Music. My father serenaded bitches with his acoustic guitar. Some dudes out here serenading bitches with their basic ass 4/4 songs with middle school complexities. If they both support POTUS then we should celebrate our connections not our disconects. Something like that lol.
Also just remember that "all rap" isn't' a thing. You can find good rap from any era. It just takes more work. When my buddy showed me backpack rap I was blown away. Even when their rappers blew up mainstream like Logic you could still find nuggets of gold in his mainstream bull shit.
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...

It's kind of semantic, but some artists are more aptly described as music producers, more akin to conductors of an orchestra.
I listen to mostly electronic shit, and love everyone who makes music. Do your thing. The debate over who is and isn't a musician is retarded tho.
Like, do I get music at the end? Yes? You're a music artist. Most would call that a musician.
It takes like 2 years to become a DJ and like 10 to become a decent guitar player.

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.
