A quote from Kurt Cobain I found interesting...

LOL that garbage ass buzzword "homophobe" didn't exist when he was alive, breh.

you don't know what you're talking about. punk bands were using that word before it apparently became a "buzzword".

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

for real i cannot even lie. you gotta respect kanye for that album.

i only fukk wit about half the tracks from it (the other half is trash to me) but it speaks to his integrity as an artist. whatever kanye is doing at any given point in time, you could usually bet that NO ONE else is doing it. which is why he's still able to hold everyone's attention. he's always tryna be one step ahead of everyone else.

let's just hope he doesn't he doesn't veer too far off (a damn cliff).

Post proof, breh. Oh, and it's a buzzword and always has been.

You didnt have to reach to a rock n roll example from that time period, you could have picked just about any hip hop artist from that era as well. The early 90s was very much a counter culture/anti corporate/dont sell out environment. Hammer was torn to shreds for doing commercials and going pop...even if a lot of it was just posturing, many artists during that period were adamant about eschewing universal success in favor of delivering their fans authentic music they demanded.

This is more true than many people realize. Ice Cube is one of my GOATs, but even back when he was making amazing militant-like music in the early 90s, he was doing things like this:

good thread.. some good intellectual conversation

ive been going back through nirvanas catalogue. i think their best songs are really incredible, but for me they had only 5 great songs. teen spirit, lithium, in bloom, come as u are, heart shaped box, rest of the catalogue is pretty unlistenable to my ears. after listening to in utero i had to play warning just to get my blood circulating again. but nirvana gets props on those 5 joints. truly amazing songs. and i repsected cobains sincerity and humanity.

oasis only have one joint seeing nirvana, live forever.

• I would like to get rid of the homophobes, sexists, and racists in our audience. I know they're out there and it really bothers me.
  • As quoted in SPIN (1992-01)

If I could be bothered I could probably find some Ian MacKaye quotes going back to the 80s going in on homophobes

Kurt hated the fame

He went through so much in his early child hood, the music was an escape from that.

If anything, all that fame lead to his demise.

He also hated coherent lyrics too. Still enjoyed the music though.

nah im not even talking about that. im talking about this attempt artists do now a days to appeal to everyone. they'll be in an interview talking about their follow up album and say someshyt like "we got something for EVERYONE"

well, say EVERYONE .. which we know means the highest common denominator or every single type of music fan. all across the board don't like the album then what? they excluded and disappointed the sole demographic that supported them and the music they were making to appeal all across the board. that's an artists doing. not the fans.

yes, the fans are to blame for a lot of shyt.. but artists are, as well when they deliver a follow up album that is trash and 'EVERYONE' isn't fukking with it.

that's not to say an artist has to keep recreating the same type of music.. Kanye (minus Yeezus) is a good example of an artist evolving w/o completely excluding his sole demographic. but by consciously making music to sell all across the board, artists are only hurting themselves and the quality of their music and excluding their dedicated fanbase to appeal to the fly by night "hype beast" or casual music listener fans in an attempt to sell more.

Kurt Cobain knew a lot of people who bought Nevermind did so because of Smells Light Teen Spirit.. and instead of going and making an album that sounding like that to appeal to the bro's and types of people he disliked who liked Nirvana..Nirvana put out what they wanted.

Sound like Young Jeezy....this is common sense but labels haven't really caught on,they know most of these dudes aint built to be long term artist so they strike while the iron is hot and try to get as much money out of them as they can...labels think they know better than the artist,and the artist think like labels now.

Nirvana was trash. I remember seeing a video where one of the dudes from Oasis ethered the whole grunge movement ''these bands are all in 'pain'...well my ears are in pain from hearing your whining, wash your hair you dirty fukkers''
