this is funny because you're most likely a complete pussy who'd wet himself at the first sign of any aggressive confrontation yet feel comfortable acting tough online.Icesickle wrote:step one wrote:Put it in the Kanye thread. Faggots get way too excited about Kanye's music.
Shocked that you came into the thread to whine about something, you bitter old petulant bitch.
what bit confused you?Icesickle wrote:What'd you say?

I've noticed that you've been more open minded about new music (eg, your comments about Wacka and Nicki Minaj) recently. Why the change of heart, dun?
Disagree with your sense that none of it is reminiscent of older work, or that it has to be enjoyed in some rigid, ultra-moder context or not at all.pradadon wrote:Love this joint.
As far as new music, I have taken the same approach since 1999 ish. Some of it is good and some of it sucks, but NONE of it sounds like late 80's- mid 90's stuff. That is just a type of music that does not exist anymore.
I enjoy and like listening to newer music that is played on the radio here in NY. It has it's own lane. As long as you view everything within the context in which it should be viewed, without trying to force something to be what it is not, then you can enjoy.

When I don't listen to music, I feel fine dissing it for no reason on message forums because it alleviates boredom. But when I actually give it a listen it feels too intellectually dishonest to just go the curmudgeonly route. Also, borkpackers are annoying. When I started writing for T.R.O.Y. again it made sense to breathe some life into the whole scene by acknowledging that rap is still alive and generative.
So yeah, you're going to see me contradict a lot of shit I've said around here in the near future, but it isn't due to some inversion of personal taste, just a change in listening habits.
Well, I think most would agree that there are little or no songs that are sonically the same as tracks from the late 80's or early 90's. Don't get me wrong, songs are reminiscent, a la the "Sounds Like The 90's" series, but even those songs do not sound as if they were made during that period. They sound like they were made in 2010. They just have the spirit of the 90's. That was basically my initial point. One can be reminiscent, but that does not fully bring back something that is extinct.Thun wrote:Disagree with your sense that none of it is reminiscent of older work, or that it has to be enjoyed in some rigid, ultra-moder context or not at all.pradadon wrote:Love this joint.
