It's like a more accessible odd future album. With worse rapping

oof worse rapping than odd future

Post-Macklemore flow

feel like this cldve gone a lil deeper http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/arts/music/white-rappers-geazy-mike-stud.html

remember when we discovered the two dubsteps itt, revelatory

the last couple of times i've reacted with a visceral "what the fuck is this GARBAGE" to music on the radio were both to songs that ended up featuring g-eazy

(the grace one and the marc e. bassy one)

man i have missed all of this bullshit entirely.

i dunno whether to commend you for your foresight or hate you, d.

Story of my career

This stuff is extraordinarily easy to ignore, though. I get that these acts are taking a short cut to success, in a sense, but none seem to have cultural reach of black acts who do similar numbers. That's one thing their privilege can't buy them: relevance

(the article was spot on though; best exploration of the subject I've seen)

Story of my career

you're doing important ethnographic work here.

pun probably intended fuck it.

great piece

can't stop lol'ing at this photo tho

it's like something from the onion graphics department or one of those horrifying face swap apps

they lost me at "handsome ectomorph".

but for me this whole style reminds me as nothing so much as the various christian analogues of popular culture. the veggietales approach to hip-hop.

i need to catch up on Mac Miller real quick like.

started out frat rap, somehow worked his way into (quasi-?)credibility, critics about-faced on him at some point, now is putting out his "soul" album...does that sound about right? or no?

has he legit gone from joke/horror to decent?

He was never as terrible as people made him out to be. He did the whole "little brother discovers your Native Tongues CDs" thing well on Blue Slide Park

He sucks and he's always sucked and the marketing for him is "actually he's good this time" every time around

i don't know if i can listen to a mac miller album title "the divine feminine"

i can technically i guess but i never will

this one sounds like the death rattle of tasteful milquetoast kaytranadawave r&b

'watching movies w/ the sound off' is pretty neo soul influenced too but is good

it's funny that writers are buying the "it's a feminist album!" angle hook line and sinker when he put fuckin cee lo on it

lol

jeez

the marketing for him is "actually he's good this time" every time around

lol this is very true. But I found his old puppy dog on the playground stuff kind of likeable; it's his newer attempts to be an adult artist that are insufferable. He gets worse each year imo

lol this dude let himself be shamed into becoming an artiste when he went platinum on the frat rap circuit

chose a life of small stinky rooms full of earl sweatshirt fans over boning sorority girls in bathtubs full of money

tbf i'm not sure he could have sustained that audience

also, boning ariana has to count for something, i guess.

is she the one who said she hates america then licked a donut if so then yes, our most important celebrity

don't forget the (alleged) time she smiled winningly at her fans as they mobbed an elevator then when the doors closed wished out loud for their death. that was the one that converted me.

an inspiration truly

i'd bone

wld bone, follow into battle, ascend to the next level of consciousness etc

idk i think i like this album, although yes the idea that this is some feminist awakening does not really jive w/ the content

if the Watching Movies one is similar but better, maybe i should check that one out

Ariana's skit on SNL where she did vocal impressions was pretty great, these two seem like maybe they deserve each other

rip Mac Miller

Probably should have posted this somewhere other than a thread about "Frat Rap". I thought this was a joke at first.

It's being discussed in the "rolling face tat" thread (...I know)

lol

frat rap more like frat crap amirite

oh whoops i didn't see why the revive ... my bad :(

lol

omg chet!
