My favorite thing about art is its subjectivity. If you love the way a specific piece of media looks, sounds, or makes you feel, that artist has reached you. The only thing that art has to do is touch you in a way that makes you happy, and it doesn't have to conform to everyone's standards.

[@immasleep8105]

1:50, dude when you said this it INSTANTLY made me think of robert downey jr. a teen star turned drug addict, everyone was like “welp that’s wraps for his acting career” and then he came back and absolutely killed his role as tony stark, which is funny because now he’s playing as doctor doom, donning the same mask MF DOOM did when he came back

[@azzadragonx957]

Didn’t expect to see filthy frank/joji, but fits on the list perfectly, thank you I didn’t know I needed that

[@alexandra_the_great]

i fucking love joji. seeing him mention donald glover as an inspiration got me into childish gambino music and now they are both two of my favourite artists. their versatility is something else.

[@alexandra_the_great]

also i feel like theres a lot more to be said about joji. from his soundcloud days producing for other people and chloe burbank, to working behind the scenes on the weeknds party monster mv in 2016, to the extravaganza and the nectar album lore. hell even the cancelled 2014 joji music album. i cant help it, i just find him fascinating.

18:21 Having listened to Chromakopia about 4 times at this point, I'm wondering if this was a response to the nay-sayers of Call Me If You Get Lost. Like he said, he made Flower Boy to prove that he could do pop records, and people said he played it safe. So he made Igor, and they said, "Oh, he can't rap, that's why he did this," which is what led to Call Me If You Get Lost. I'm wondering if people were saying, "Oh now he's bragging about his wealth and status like everyone else" and so he made something deeply introspective and personal.

[@pupsuki7816]

I’m going to be a massive nerd and point out at 5:20 you played the GTA San Andreas theme song, which takes place in San Andreas (California). Rather than Soviet Connection, which is the theme song from GTAIV, the game that takes place in Liberty City (NYC).

[@jimmyneutron5256]

It's amazing that DOOM went on to inspire Tyler heavily, and Kanye is Gambino's biggest inspiration

People do not realize how AMAZING Gambino's song Heartbeat is. The one clip you showed from a reviewer said he gave a 2 to the music Gambino released early on. Admittedly, I have to listen to those songs. But Heartbeat? Bro. The synth work is literally LEGENDARY.
