I never said it was uniformly considered trash but I forgot y'all don't read
Punk had more than it's fair share of detractors saying the same shyt y'all saying about rappers. We gonna act like the famous "The Ramones are rubbish" Morrisey review don't exist? The Stooges , who created punk and inspired the Ramones had awful reviews, sold no records, and were in relative obscurity damn near 30 years after they split
I'll give you London Calling but it still falls into hypocrisy because how far are we going with the credence of music reviewers? If you're gonna assign merit to London Calling being named album of the year you might as well do the same for Cardi B's rap album of the year grammy
The Sex Pistols were industry plants And name dropping Richard Hell bookends your pretentiousness. NBA YoungBoy is far more known and revered than Richard Hell will ever be, and I like Richard Hell's music. You know nobody in 2023 gives a fukk about Richard Hell breh are we serious right now?
Again you nikkas have no idea what will be wack in the future, which is why I brought up The Stooges and their obscurity, despite being one of the most influential bands in history
You're comparing NBA Youngboy, who's had a full ass funded campaign propping his views up on YouTube & streaming numbers to The Stooges, an act that was organic & were just ahead of their time?
The Stooges were Jazz-obsessed master musicians, who were deconstructing Pharoah Sanders
Iggy Pop's one of the smartest dudes in rock n roll
They were just CHOOSING to strip all the pretentions away from rock n roll in attempt to get back to the essence of rock n roll.
The Ramones were obsessed with Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and early rock n roll & were reacting to Rock becoming so pretentious and bloated during the '70s with decadent bands like Pink Floyd & Led Zeppelin
NBA is a just fukking idiot, who looks retarded, sounds retarded, and acts retarded.
He's a crash test dummy with 11 kids by 9 different women at 24 & threatened to kill Joe Budden because he said his music was wack.
He's a fukkin' moron & so are his fans
He's not trying to take Hip-Hop back to it's essence or put a progressive spin on the culture
The nikka prolly can't even spell "essence"
nikka LITERALLY breathes with his mouth open
And I think it's a little disingenuous to compare "Rolling Stone" critics when they were considered somewhat credible in the '70s to "Rolling Stone" critics today who have ZERO credibility and are sucking off Cardi B. so they don't get called "rockist" "racist" or "sexist".
They weren't always right, but they did have the respect of the public on some level, which is why being on the cover of "Rolling Stone" was seen as one of the biggest accomplishments in music for years.
It's like comparing "The Source" back when it was the "Hip-Hop Bible" & most rappers/fans considered it credible on some level to "The Source" today, which is totally irrelevant.
This shyt will only sound weirder and more foreign in the next 10 years and some will possibly beg for at least the talent level of today's guys. We getting old brehs. I do think lil homie is garbo though
