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.
Yeah it gets more leeway if it's a joke/experimental song. I agree with most of what you say apart from that it's arguable that it's all about connecting with your audience, since most (not all) music today tends to be manufactured trash, and is played in say, nightclubs. It connects with their intended audience, but they're kinda being brainwashed to like it?
Some of the best music may only ultimately have a small or tiny audience, but that's not necessarily a problem with the music.
Oof it's too bad you're not Christian. Been wanting to post some stuff on here to get a read on how people feel about it as pedes. One of my favorite local rap artists was saved and started releasing stuff like this
It's just crazy to find maga rap like Tyson James / Bryson Gray etc and then see my own local artists end up changing up their style to preach the word of God in their music. No clue if Lucky is even a Trump supporter but I'm willing to bet he is after the 50 cent stuff lol. Shit I've been a pretty recent convert so one of his lines actually got explained to me by a random dude on this site when he said "Shout out to that Soloman!" on this song.
Spez: also fuck you for downvoting every single one of these posts lmao. Was it the useless music degree bit that got you?
