What happened with Julien Baker

 

Gaining information is an odd way to judge art

 

Somone called her music uneventful or boring or some bullshit

 

Yeah not sure I understand that part of his argument, art is more about expression than information right?

 

Lmaooooooooo

 

There's a difference between using this thread for #hottake statements and trying to have a discussion.

 

Careful, last time I said this I got thread banned

 

#freeryan

 

Your entire argument has been based off the value that he's provided on racial and social issues, or did I miss something? There isn't one thing he's offered that I can't get elsewhere, whether that be through a lecture, a book, a study, a speech, all vessels of information. Why do I have to keep explaining this to you?

 

I hope Kanye starts spitting actual statistics and percentages on his next album.

First vinyl hip hop record to come with a works cited!!

 

But seriously that is kind of a strange idea. I listen to music not to gain knowledge, but to get insight into human perspective.

If I wanted to listen to music to gain info I sure as hell wouldn't listen to The Gaslight Anthem, unless I was doing qualitative research on the history of waitresses named Maria in New Jersey

 

Meh, I went into this knowing that I'd get the typical responses but I definitely didn't think it would come down to passive statements about the misuse of the word "information" instead of "perspective." My point still stands. I think Kanye West's music is garbage, there's my unpopular opinion for the day. :)

 

Mhm, same. I come across as a Yeezy stan so much in conversations outside of this forum.

 

Kanye gets a lot of undeserved shit, but his true crime is trying to sell Gildan long sleeves for $75

 

here i am stuck with his gildan long sleeve AND gildan hoodie. shoulda sold them when i had the chance smh. i like them tho.

 

I might have bought one of the only ones left weren't bright orange :(

 

what

also that Shad song is good though for real.

 

Here's my unpopular opinion: listened to Apathy & Exhaustion by The Lawrence Arms for the first time today, and I think it does "early Alkaline Trio" better than Alkaline Trio does. Great album

 

The Lawrence Arms >>> Alkaline Trio any day of the week really.

 

Even discounting the perspective his music provides on race and class and it's shittiness to women the music has undeniable value in the context of the genre's progression and the nature of popular hip hop/that is a unique aspect of it that you cannot find elsewhere

 

It's his real name, only his closest friends know it.

 

Why consume any art if you can hear a lecture about it?

 

especially music, like, lets not act like kanye hasnt broken boundaries on the musical aspect of the genre too, ignoring lyrics his albums are still fucking masterworks that you couldn't possibly write off as garbage in that aspect.

 

The guy doesn't like kanyes music. Who cares

 

His music is objeciively good and If you don't like it, that's just like your tastes man.
