so credible folks seem to be legitimately liking that mac miller record. it was inevitably going to happen within the next year or so, but still
what the fuck is going on here

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

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)
you're doing important ethnographic work here.

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?
― alpine static, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 19:16 (seven years ago) link
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
― Evan R, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 19:22 (seven years ago) link
He sucks and he's always sucked and the marketing for him is "actually he's good this time" every time around
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 23:09 (seven years ago) link
i don't know if i can listen to a mac miller album title "the divine feminine"

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
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 September 2016 02:06 (seven years ago) link
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 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
― Evan R, Wednesday, 28 September 2016 15:47 (seven years ago) link
lol this dude let himself be shamed into becoming an artiste when he went platinum on the frat rap circuit

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

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.

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
