Lenny Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 3 hours ago, Taste said: I mean hip hop isn’t technically music. You can ask any music teacher and they’ll say the same thing. Doesn’t mean you can’t like it. I don’t usually like straight hip hop but I like some that’s fused with other genres Really depends on which era of hip hop and which artists specifically. I'm glad you see the technicality of what I'm speaking about. I think the disconnect here is that the people trying to criticize my statements are fans and don't actually understand music's technicalities themselves so they're limited in understanding the elements of what would make it qualify as a piece of music vs being an entertainer. Drake is an entertainer. If you put him next to a dedicated composer or musician he'd tell you himself he can't hold his own. He doesn't even write his own songs for fucksakes. Any person that plays an instrument or composes music will understand my approach on this. Fans will see it that he gets paid to be a "musician" so he should be able to identify as one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I don't like him and I like hip hop in general but saying he's not even a musician. Come on man GDC will never take music outside Pop Punk seriously Drake is a musician deal with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the music does not have guitars somewhere present in the song you guys are quick to deny it and those type of threads get buried because you were taught early on in life by your favorite bands that pop music or rap or whatever sucks. God to get back on topic, I sure hope Green Day has a rap song on there with Lady Cobra as a hidden feature to piss you guys off, either way FOAM will sure as hell make a lot of people mad as is. Can not wait for this album to come out! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely for laughs, I would love to see someone make a mashup of FOAM and whatever Yoko Ono was doing with John Zorn. Maybe I'll make it myself. I'm not trying to compare FOAM to Yoko Ono, not at all. I don't mind the FOAM song at all lmao. But... memes are memes. atleast in Yoko’s pea brain she thinks she’s creating art — even though i could fart into a mic and it’d be better than anything she has ever done. FOAM to me feels like a money grab at this point with actual no artistry. ”rock lost its balls we’re gonna tea bag these mother fuckers” *tours with weezer and fall out boy, probably the least ballsy bands to ever exist* *expensive tickets for a stadium show to see greatest hits* even though i agree rock has lost its balls and is all but dead at this point, how can you realese a song like fire ready aim or father of all after saying that? billie has some serious soul searching to do. they should’ve gone back to a mature sound like warning after 21cb, it would’ve been an easy transition. rev rad was pretty much a P!NK album and so far FOAM is a corey feldman album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, yes it’s only going to be 26 minutes long and 10 tracks, but some of the songs are going to be a lot longer than I thought they would be, especially Teenage Teenager at 3:45 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that FRA was just an NHL thing and part of that partnership We'll see how good Oh Yeah is.

No disrespect but I probably listen to a wider range of music than you do. I have over 1000 records here at home from artists all over the world. Not to mention my network is made up of artists that have platinum records and sold millions of albums. Drake is nothing but an entertainer regardless of your opinion. He can't play an instrument nor can he rap. I'm not the only person who feels this way. Look at Mikey Retro's opinion of drake lol He's way more abrasive about it than me.

Sorry GDC fans who can't even play an open note on guitar who admit they sit on their asses all day achieving fuck all disagree 😂 Yoko Ono IS a musician because she says she is! I miss the old GD days where people would actually break this down into a whole other level of thought. Now you just get "this is stupid". Way to use your brains to explain your opinion on a controversial topic guys! FOAMF is perfect for these people very simple and to the point! Know Your Audience! I don't think FOAMF is a money grab though. Hella Mega is more the bullseye for money grab. I say that positively though. They put what they believe is high value and they raised the price based on that. For me there's not really any added value except for the fact they sound really great live right now.

Popular Post BeachBum Posted January 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 Lets pull back to FOAM conversation, we are starting to get a little off track. The conversation about how others view different styles of music is interesting but should move to it's own topic if you wish to continue the conversation. Also all comments about the thread being a hot mess and how it is off topic. While self moderation can sometimes help bring the conversation back on topic, we don't need a bunch of comments spamming that it is off topic. There is a report button, please us it. Verbal warning points will be issued from this point on, if you chose to carry on the topic discussion. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
