The smartest thing Shappie has ever written, Niggers can’t make good music

>>12938533
Fucking based, I hate fucking nigger music

>>12938517
cringe but true

Pretending rap/hip-hop is deep/smart/topical is the dumbest modern trend and I can't wait till were past it

Thoroughly mediocre stuff at best

Ruling out an entire genre of music because of the colour of the skin of those who make it is proof that people are objectively stupid.

>>12938533
Rap is the most poetic style of music today

i enjoyed that rap "what up fatlip"

You must own libtards epic style, all day every day. You certainly don’t succumb to the same fallacies and confirmation bias that the left barrels into. You’re a free thinker. A real pillar that can be relied on.

nothing you do will make you feel better. You have to sit and physically wait for the neurons and synapses in your brain decay before you feel better. feeling sad about an ex shows you still remember what it was like with her. give it a few months. it's gonna be tough.

Without the words, hip hop is merely muzak.

>>12938662
sure

>>12938633
You'll also mention that these lyrics are satirical, right? That in context, they're meant to mock the aggrandizing and simple mindset of a teenager surrounded by a materialistic, thuggish culture?

>>12938678
>in context

Lol shut up bitch

The only context that matters is the listener's, plenty of ppl listen to this stuff and unironically except the lyrics as they are/don't pay any mind to the "meaning" of the lyrics and consider them just another sound like a drum snare

Music is an apolitical medium in this regard and always has been. One of the myths of the left is that capitalism absorbs and commodities criticism but there's no way to reconcile someone listening to rage against the machine in their morning commute with the idea that the literal meaning of the lyrics/authors intent has the intended effect on the listener

>>12938544
>>12938533
He would be right if he wasn't a pseud.
He is and listens to this sort of music merely as a facade.

>>12938633
Literally spoken from the pov of a teenager freestyling in the back of his friends car trying to sound cool yo the guys he is hanging out with. Thus song transitioning into the art of peer pressure is so fucking powerful

They'll probably cover it next semester. Use google if you're that eager to get ahead of the class.

>>12938707

t. SNEETHING incel

I only listen to classical music on a artistical purpose
But I think that tekashi69 is unironically the most counter cultural artist America had in decades.
You have this Puerto-Rico boy who in the current political climate (domination of identity politics) should be making song about how the white man is oppresing the rest of humanity and that retard like : >>12938575 would have suck off.
But instead he choose to taint his hair red and sing "I don't fuck with no old hoes, only new hoes
Put my dick in her backbone, I pass her to my bro
I don't love her that's a sad hoe, she a bad hoe
I'ma fuck her then I dash home, to the cash hoe"
It's highly political.

>>12938781
I like that album for more than the uncle tom politics, bud.

>rap fags REALLY think anyone cares about their music opinions.
Ok.

>>12938801

>>12938801
They watched one too many Anthony fnatano reviews/YouTube essays about rap being really deep actually and now they think they're on the cutting edge and not just fans of this decade's unremarkable commercial music

>>12938820
The worst genre that caters to criminals, fucking weak shit, everything, everything honestly why can’t I just run through the walls, everyone in rap is more ate up than my lunch honestly

>unironically listening to Kendrick Lamar in 2019

>>12938517
>Not having a taste for vile nigger jargon

Obviously not gonna make it
Rap at its best is when it’s absolutely fucking disgusting. “Look what they did Mom! Look what I’ve become!” America is V Frankenstein, and rap is the monster. You wouldn’t understand unless you were there. I saw it man, some of the greatest minds, geez, horseman pass bye

>>12938885
Of course not are you fucking retarded?, wait did you seriously include Picasso into this discussion, so you gathered since I don’t like retarded black people acting as if they’ve discovered some profound truth about life, I would not favour the best painter to ever walk Europe? Keep digging yourself a hole, happy sailing you fucking vile vermin

>>12938843
which fucking album are you talking about

>>12938517
I mostly listen to classical music because I’m a pianist, but I also listen to hip hop, soul, rock and when I’m fucked up electronic. Modern rap has some banging beats, and it’s the current pop scene that is entirely shit. But I only listen to feel good, not for others to feel good about me. This Mozart name dropping is embarrassing.
Also, I don’t care how technically gifted he was, I don’t believe a 10 year old could have written music with any pathos or meaning. The fact that he was greater than Haydn is a testament to the lack of emotional depth throughout music at that point in time. His entire reputation is based on the last few compositions of his life, -his last 4 piano concertos, his last 10 symphonies, his late operas, his requiem which he didn’t write. These pieces are of course great but it accounts for about 25% of his overall works. Overrated as fuck

Of course, Stefan’s brute, Zach is an excellent drummer, Andy Morin tells me what I am there for I accept it and Stefan Justifies it and Zach enforces it

Rap at its best is lowbrow and exaggerated to the point of absurdity. once it gets into conscious territory it becomes we live in a society tier. You can't listen to this and tell me there's not magic going on.

Fuck with N-I-P - I ain't no actor
My twelve daughters died from talking shit to a tractor
I'm getting pissed from the blood I threw up
Barely snapped my fingers and Jupiter blew up!
Hoes, they love me, they say I'm a pleaser
I woke up dead in a cat's leg screaming "Caesar!"
Quick to break your motherfuckin' spine
A dead goat got pregnant and said it was mine
Ganksta N-I-P - I'm down with the Mob
Cuttin' off heads was my last year's Summer job
Blame it on TV - then put it on the map
This is a horror movie rap

Mozart is definitely the plebs choice of composer to signal they are refined.

I’d rather listen to New Kingdom bust a heavy load than Mozart and my iq is 146.

>>12938932
Nobody actually like niggers, it's all just one mass societal delusion. One pretends to like them to appease the majority that are also LARPing.
It's a feedback loop of virtue signaling that has progressed rapidly
If any of you are older than 20 you may remember a time when liberal white soccer moms were against rap because it was promoting degeneracy and violence towards women
The feedback loop has all but erased such resistance now, and moms pretend to like rape because saying nigger music is poisoning their daughters is racist now

>>12938554

Based.

>>12939122
major pseud vibes emanating from this post

>>12938715
Agreed. Oh, you listen to Mozart? Wow, how cool. He’s only the most famous classical composer. Beethoven too? Yeah Für Elise is pretty good. To be fair, Shapiro at one point played the violin, so he might know a little about classical music, but this post is 100% pseud.

reminder that kendrick lamar is 100x smarter than all of you pseuds

>>12939161
you're not helping our argument saying shit like this

Though white people do not actually listen to classical music, they like to believe that they are the type of people who would enjoy it. You can witness this first hand by going to any classical performance at your local symphony where you will see literally dozens of white couples who have paid upwards of $80 for the right to dress up and sit in a chair for hours reading every word in the program.

After leaving the concert hall, white people will immediately begin telling everyone they know about how much they loved the performance and how they plan to “go more often.” This is because white people see little to no value enjoying classical music without recognition from other white people. This can be seen first hand by looking at the plaques and bricks around all opera houses: they are covered in white person names.

imagine being such a pleb you couldn't find artistic value in both classical music and rap

Biggie is unironically the best lyricist in rap I have ever heard, its sad that he hasn't been topped in decades.

I know how it feel to wake up fucked up
Pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell
People look at you like you's the user
Sellin' drugs to all the losers, mad buddha abuser
But they don't know about your stress-filled day
Baby on the way, mad bills to pay
That's why you drink Tanqueray, so you can reminisce
And wish, you wasn't livin' so devilish, shit

Look at the beautiful internal rhyming

>>12939214

Comparing classical to rap is rather unfair anyway
