it's also hilarious that Macklermore's apparent reaction to stealing Kendrick's Grammy is to steal the more avant-garde patchwork style of some of Kendrick's recent album tracks for a song about white privilege

also I think that if you don't have a grasp on enharmonics, you should not be putting out music tutorials

i don't know what enharmonics are but like lots of times it's just like you wanna know how to play a GnR riff or something not get a Ph.D. in harpsichord from the Little Lord Fauntleroy Academy of Music

YUIR are a really awesome group here in Seattle. That's going to be my only comment here about this.

So is 'Downtown' Macklemore's attempt at 'King Kunta'?
― MarkoP, Friday, 22 January 2016 19:44 (eight years ago) link
do you understand that F# and G-flat are the same note?
when writing out a major D triad, would you write it as "D, F#, A" rather than "D, G-flat, A"?
congrats, you understand enharmonics

Yes!
No! (but i don't read or music and so i guess there's no meaningful difference between what it's called it's just a fret on a string)...(actually now that i started playing in open tunings i don't know what any notes are really except the open strings)
i do now, i guess it sounded fancier than it was

so does he mention his 3 un-deserved Grammys in this? i am not giving him the views/youtube sales by listening to this song. i have heard his music before, it is shit.

yes lol
altho I am like m@tt in that playing guitar or keyboard I'm just like oh *that* note why does it have two names, which one is the right one? I don't care really
xp
― Οὖτις, Friday, 22 January 2016 20:13 (eight years ago) link
all the black notes have to have two names
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 22 January 2016 20:14 (eight years ago) link
isn't that kind of weird
I am not going further down this rabbit hole I swear
― its subtle brume (DJP), Friday, 22 January 2016 20:15 (eight years ago) link
(actually now that i started playing in open tunings i don't know what any notes are really except the open strings)
also m@tt just get a clip-on/snark tuner and it will always tell you what note you're playing (which I've found is v convenient to communicating w other players when using non-standard guitar tunings)

this is a more interesting conversation than one based upon "White Privilege II", y/n
― The Reverend, Friday, 22 January 2016 20:20 (eight years ago) link
trick question, they're both awful
ok i just read the lyrics. he doesn't mention the Grammy awards at all. this guy refuses to acknowledge his own privilege.

so forks just pointed out the existence of the song "My Dick" by 3OH!3 on another thread and, after listening to that and looking back at "White Privilege II", things could be SO MUCH WORSE

I thought the most effective part was the fan who starts off sounding cool and gradually gets racist.
― o. nate, Friday, 22 January 2016 21:01 (eight years ago) link
I didn't mind that part when I played it back (yes I played it again) but it's still kind of garbled compared to the bit immediately after it

They are unambiguously positive things. I don't think that makes the song any good.

/Macklemore may be looped in with the likes of Miley Cyrus and Iggy Azalea when it comes to criticism surrounding the appropriation of black culture, but he's making a clear point today in separating himself from them.In fact, the rapper just dropped his latest song with Ryan Lewis called "White Privilege II"—a follow-up to the original 2005 track "White Privilege"—in which he not only expresses his determination to rally behind the black community, but he also calls out both Cyrus and Azalea for their lack of attention to the people they "stole" their music from./http://www.eonline.com/news/733272/macklemore-calls-out-miley-cyrus-and-iggy-azalea-for-appropriating-black-culture-in-white-privilege-ii --o. nate
