People would still eat his slop if he didn't have that Nazi meltdown a while ago.

People still eat his slop despite the nazism. They don’t care, but his recent music has almost no cultural impact. Hell I remember when TLOP released and everyone and their moms had on Pablo merch. Memes about the songs were everywhere, and he basically defined the streetwear culture of the mid to late 2010s.

Donda had one of the most interesting rollouts especially during a time when the whole world was inside. But then after that, it was just laziness. Not even experimenting with anything anymore, and if he does, it’s not even released or mixed properly.

He’s washed and needs celebrity controversy to be relevant instead of making interesting music that sparks controversy.

[-] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah, TLOP was a fuckin event. Donda had an interesting rollout but wasn't as big as TLOP.

Really love Donda though because I literally died listening to the album the first time so whenever I hear "Hurricane" specifically, it just reminds me that I survived that and it makes me happy

dude's music has no cultural impact but i am, for no reason, posting about it

Charli sampled Vultures on brat, the clear AOTY. maybe you can cue her in on its lack of cultural impact.

If you read YouTube comments on his album, which are unfortunately made by real people when they aren't trying to link you their OnlyFans, they're all about "separating the art from the artist" and plan to keep consuming forever.

Separating the art from the artist

[-] miz@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

was this painted by the guy who ruined an entire style of facial hair

Look at that lack of perspective in the lower left window. Whoever painted this should not be accepted into art school.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

Hitler was an AI :O

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

One of his better works through his career.

[-] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

Eh, I dunno. His outputs been shit for several albums or some shit. At this point its pure artificial hype.

[-] kleeon@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

I refuse to listen to vultures

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

I unironically completely forgot about vultures

[-] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

[-] macabrett@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Imagine being d*tch

[-] Teapot@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Vultures was fun, and based on the leaks, vultures 2 will be better

[-] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'd rather listen to the biggest hip hop artist of all time making outsider art than the work of whoever your favorite artist is.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago

The outsider art in question:

  • rapping about getting your dick sucked by 3 models over gospel choir
  • complaining about jews making you horny over drill beats
  • complaining about your ex wife’s boyfriend
[-] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

have you ever seen Art Brut lmao

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

There’s barely anything unconventional about his recent releases aside them being ass

[-] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

uhhuh. donda 2 probably was the most creative and thought provoking pop music release, since, god, Flaming Lips released Zaireeka on four separate CDs; Kanye's most personal work, a series of unfinished sketches about the dissolution of his marriage, entreating the audience to dissolve the distinction between audience and artist, by playing and altering the tracks through his stem player, the apotheosis of his bric-a-brac, living album conceits on Pablo and then Donda.

but, yes, everyone is doing that, it's very conventional and boring.

if you don't know the referents, that's on you babe.

[-] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Sister, if you can't even disagree, please don't engage.

[-] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

donda 2 probably was the most creative

God the first one was bloated and shitty. The second was fuckin pointless and forgettable. Boo hoo personal work

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

This has to be a bit lol

[-] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

There’s barely anything unconventional about [Scott Walker's/Jean Genet's/Alfred Wallis'/ . . .] recent releases aside them being ass

okay.

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

You can't just madlibs other guys into that statement lol.

[-] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

it was a facile comment, it got a facile response. but perhaps you could strain yourself and see my other reply

[-] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Outsider art

We buy diabetic test strips was better than whatever kanye vomited for last bunch of albums.

[-] Barx@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

JPEGMAFIA died for this lol

[-] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)
