Yeah al but if you are talking about its critical rep now no one talks about it like 'one of the best lps of the 00s' it was always just a hit w like mainstream boner critics who think like mgmt is the best rock band of the 00s and drake is a great rapper and success is an indicator of greatness etc

haha that video is so retarded
best british rap song ever imo

right...but basically you can make that clarification, or that you meant primarily PF/ilx now, well after making a much broader statement that was categorically incorrect and being called out on it. (xpost)
― some dude, Friday, 2 July 2010 14:31 (thirteen years ago) link
why not just say what you actually mean in more precise terms instead of just going "oh this grammy/p&j/etc.-dominating record is so UNDERRATED"

xp not to be too crude, but is Wearing My Rolex what Andy Samberg is parodying in "J*** in my Pants"?

lol why is that? i like hip-hop and r&b so...
fwiw when jackie chain raps "put the top up and watch these hoes dyke it" i basically imagine straight dudes gettin' it on for my benefit, so it's not really misogynistic
xps T-SWIFT!!!!

also it's a hilarious rap line

Well you object to misogyny in rock music, I just assumed it would apply across all music.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 2 July 2010 14:42 (thirteen years ago) link
it's not misogynistic if the hoes are independently dyking it imo
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Friday, 2 July 2010 14:42 (thirteen years ago) link
or if you have some bizarre interpretation playing out in your head in which the hoes aren't hoes at all, apparently
― some dude, Friday, 2 July 2010 14:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Taylor Swift. Well, now, there's a song that's just straight awful.

Have to agree with this, I like pop-country trash as much as the next guy but you have to draw the line somewhere...
― skip, Friday, 2 July 2010 14:46 (thirteen years ago) link
you can have male hoes
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Friday, 2 July 2010 14:46 (thirteen years ago) link
can males dyke it up?
― some dude, Friday, 2 July 2010 14:47 (thirteen years ago) link
it's not misogynistic if the hoes are independently dyking it and have signed a release form in triplicate saying that they consent to being referred to as hoes in the understanding that this is merely a signifier of manly but non-threatening attraction and should not be construed to have any demeaning connotations such as might be imagined by women and sensitive hoe-saving indie listeners
― atoms breaking heart (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 2 July 2010 14:47 (thirteen years ago) link
the equivalent of dyke it up? it's just transference

Was going to post a Sarah McLachlan video to illustrate how bland TS is, but then I discovered that Sarah McLachlan is totally hardcore by comparison.

Love Story is a great song. Inevitable ILM debate is not so good.
― Gee, Officer (Gukbe), Friday, 2 July 2010 14:50 (thirteen years ago) link
All this talk about hoez dyking it up I fear we are missing the real misogyny here.

it's too bad that the dyking it up discussion wasn't punctuated by "stronger"
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Friday, 2 July 2010 14:53 (thirteen years ago) link
That song was absolutely everywhere. Always got a Cantaloop vibe from it...

someone needs to just c/p this entire thread to posts very much in character

YOU GET ME WRONG! PERSON PITCH IS NOT ONE OF THE WORST THINGS I HAVE EVER HEARD, IT IS FAR AND AWAY THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD. IF I HEARD SOME SEAN KINGSTON OR SOMETHING AND WAS LIKE "DAMN, THIS IS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD" I'D HAVE TO BACK UP AND BE LIKE "WAIT A MINUTE, THIS IS NOT WORSE THAN FUCKING PANDA BEAR." I'D RATHER LISTEN TO AN HOUR OF CONSTRUCTION WORKERS TEARING OUT REBAR.
― The Reverend, Friday, July 2, 2010 5:10 AM
Tbh, I never made it past halfway through the second track and then I skipped around to see if it all sounded like that, the answer to which I found to be an affirmative.
― The Reverend, Friday, July 2, 2010 5:15 AM
Rev, I <3 you and all, but boooooooooooooooooooooooooooDon't disrespect the singular awfulness of 311's Transistor (the rest of it is worse than "Come Original", I bought it because the drummer was on the cover of Modern Drummer that month :/) until you've at least given the rest of the album a shot
― lil' (Z S), Friday, 2 July 2010 14:55 (thirteen years ago) link
"gold digger" is a classic to me but i certainly can't stand to hear it anymore and didn't even think about voting for it
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Friday, 2 July 2010 14:55 (thirteen years ago) link
gold digger might be my least fav of the big kanye songs
― call all destroyer, Friday, 2 July 2010 14:56 (thirteen years ago) link
"gold digger" was the only kanye song i nearly voted for, total summer jam classic imo. ASS LIKE SERENA, TRINA, JENNIFER LOPEEEEZ #misogyny

watch their asses dyke it
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Friday, 2 July 2010 14:58 (thirteen years ago) link
i liked every other single from that album better than gold digger, though its not bad by any means
― ciderpress, Friday, 2 July 2010 14:59 (thirteen years ago) link
really the biggest negative about gold digger as perpetuating jamie foxx as ray charles
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Friday, 2 July 2010 15:00 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i never loved Gold Digger and it's definitely my least favorite of his early hits, but i don't mind it, now and then it's fun.

Gold Digger is pretty much the only Kanye single I like.

Al thank u for making sure I was being particular and specific. I still think the record is undervalued tho and I'm not sure how yr clarification changes things
