Which artists legacies have improved/worsened during the 2010s?

Are you saying that Chief Keef is an artist whose legacy has improved/worsened

Improved, obviously

Yeah I didn’t hear much about him in the 00s

Hahaha.

The question in the thread title is whose legacy has improved in the 2010s. There’s nothing about the 00s involved

I can't

you will

lil wayne nosedived but is rising again, he'll ultimately be seen as one of the GOAT

Metaphorically Birdman handrubbing about the turn this thread is about to take

also willie had a great song at the end of red dead redemption, which is like the second biggest consumer product of all time or something.

Chris feigning superiority bc you are out of touch w the genre you cover isn’t the best look

I think lil Wayne just had the typical downward career arc this decade but no one serious would argue his legacy is anything but secure I would think

Gucci mane’s rep obviously solidified too, which no one here makes fun of me for bc now they all agree with it

It helps that he's had a such a positive & meme-friendly comeback, right?

No, I'm feigning superiority bc you are on a completely different trip than everyone else in this thread based solely on your creative way of interpreting words

Yeah though the music has been very forgettable by and large, I think in the long run it’ll affect his legacy poorly ... tho maybe not Elvis in Vegas level

You’re feigning to understand the discourse but I don’t know think you’re actually cognizant of it:

Chief Keef - They Know | Dir. @DGainzBeats https://t.co/GLS9AZjSu8 via @YouTube this my favorite Sosa song🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏾 he paved the way for the new rappers!

I'm the first on this board to say you were right about Keef being influential, I'm just saying you're the only person in this thread to earnestly post about someone whose recording career began, like, seven years ago

or eight years, I guess

Wow, you know who else's stock has risen? Mitski and Snail Mail

Gotta say Tierra Whack? Definitely up!

You’re naming artists from the last two years, i named someone who’s career began at the beginning of the decade in question.

look technically if your rep went up during the 2010s then

Billy Eilish stock was down between last thursday and friday :'-( But up again!

Buy low sell high!

Ppl were talking about flying lotus and dubstep idk why keef would be off for the thread subject ... could also talk about afrobeats and kreayshawn and azealia banks and chillwave, thread concept still applies

You know what has gone down that we didn’t really talk about is the kind of hipster crossover dance music of the late 00s: nu disco and edits & that kind of stuff feels way less relevant to the current hyped sound I wd think even tho there are still sustained industries devoted to them

FlyLo's debut came out 15 years ago

Seemed to me his career only really hit peak critical attention circa 2010 💁🏻‍♂️

You guys are arguing just to argue

Who was made fun of or forgotten in the previous decade that's more respected now? Who was critically beloved but is now kind of a joke? Why?

If we’re sticking to that fine idk why based on the thread title tho, seems like stuff from the beginning of the decade being treated differently now is just as relevant

Maybe peak mainstream visibility, but there was a ton of hype around 'Los Angeles' and Low End Theory around '08.

Btw I have been meaning to say that LCD Soundsystem / DFA / etc. seems way down. Partially because of how they handled the reunion thing, but it also feels like the territory of disco bros and vinyl purists, and didn't catch on with the next generation.

xp

No, I'm arguing to procrastinate

mitski's been around for a while, albeit the first time most people heard her was 2014. she's up btw

Agree. The ppl I know still on this heavy are old millennials and older. Feels like the younger gen got more into techno, more into weird internet shit like future funk, more into whatever you’d call pc music

(Keef was making & releasing songs in 2009 lol but w/e)

feel like LCD's music was designed to have this ephemeral feeling to it, half their songs are about getting older and "the last party" and not being cool anymore so yeah I kinda figured they'd fall by the wayside once the moment was over. I know the reunion album was a big deal but people stopped talking about it pretty much immediately after its release and I never heard any of the songs anywhere

They feel like next gen Wilco to me, as do ppl fetishizing “disco” in general

I guess part of the ppl who would have been into late 00s disco consensus just came up into indie like Mac demarco or whatever, like that entire class of gateway drug artists like hot chip don’t exist any more ... mitski strikes me as the closest to this

I don’t know this stuff well enough but I think I’m right in the broad outlines

Datarock just released a new album last year and virtually nobody heard it. it was quite good but man you just can't do that sound right now

Frogbs nails it w/r/t LCD and the ephemeral. I think LCD was always destined to disappear into nothingness. "Enjoy it while you can, the party will be over soon" is a massive LCD vibe. Can't say I mind, particularly, Murphy's bathos always rubbed me up the wrong way. But it doesn't seem odd; on the contrary.

have to assume that most late-90s / turn of the millennium indie rock is at a low ebb in "mattering.". like i would be seriously startled if any of my students mentioned being into Modest Mouse. and as much as they meant to me in the early 00s, their 2010s work felt irrelevant and almost anonymous the moment it dropped. this might go double for other acts like them that had 1-2 big radio hits, like franz ferdinand.

I feel like Studio and Lindstrom are gonna be like my 80s college rock where I can’t explain to the next generation for the life of me why it mattered

Tbh I think modest mouse type stuff actually translates better than the indie Kids are dancing again stuff like the rapture dfa nu disco

(I know I’m conflating a bunch of scenes and styles here)

A few years ago I saw the Unknown Pleasures poster next to Bob at the campus poster sale and it felt like a changing of the guards

guessing "a few" is standing for "31" here

xp I hear Modest Mouse played A LOT by people in their 20's who work at my local morning coffee place

Hipster house obviously should have been mentioned in that nu disco space obv
