And, even at his peak, he was at best a mediocre rapper
he never had much flow so if that's super-important to you then I can understand feeling that way, but in his early days a lot of his raps were funny and really memorable and that more than compensated for the fact that no one's ever going to mistake him for Rakim.

yeah, consequence and rhymefest can actually write, and judging by the bars cyhi gives himself...he can't

None of these scenarios would have been thinkable for indie rock bands of previous generations.

it's easier for me to now whenever a millennial or younger makes some big statement about music or movies online I just add "....since 2005" to the statement

the quality of contemporary music has been on a steady decline since 2005.

2005 was a very good year for me but that's mostly when i stopped listening to indie so

show of hands, who thinks Pitchfork would've reviewed the new Muffs album if it came out 3 weeks ago?
― alpine static, Friday, 18 October 2019 16:06 (four years ago) link
They reviewed the 2014 album and, for a similar example, Veruca Salt's Ghost Notes. Those are both from 4+ years ago, of course.
― ☮ (peace, man), Friday, 18 October 2019 17:03 (four years ago) link
Surprised they reviewed the 2014 album. (I should've checked.) Maybe I'm wrong! Fair enough.
― alpine static, Friday, 18 October 2019 17:16 (four years ago) link
Had the same thought briefly flash through my head, but then I saw they also reviewed the new Third Eye Blind so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

he's a rapper like Puffy or Dr. Dre, also I'm assuming a big change in the perception is changes in who is ghostwriting for him
He's much better than those 2. I'm basing this solely on his freestyle in that Ice T doc film.

surprised to not see something here about me being dumb (when reviewing my edit, I reviewed the final version from the google doc and not the CMS, because I was on mobile and have the app; the version in the google doc was fine, but the CMS version introduced a very obvious error that upset the artist, and that I feel awful about)
