[@whitneymouse]

Rhasher I don’t understand the comment. Are you insinuating that that song in any way makes him look bad when it only serves to make Ellie look worse? “You wanted my heart (I.e. a real relationship) but I just liked your tattoos” (I.e. I wasn’t looking for anything serious even though I knew you were)? For that matter, he wrote “Don’t” about her and she supposedly cheated on him with 1D’s Niall Horan who was a good friend of his at the time. I honestly think her “response diss” track made her look just as bad as his song did.

I call it the Whitney Houston effect. She was practically forgotten other than to make fun of her by the time she died. The day of her death tho everyone rushed out to gush about how much they loved her and how great she was. I was like "that's not what yall said yesterday". With just one news report a singer can go from not being able to fill a show in Vegas to being the most downloaded in the world. All they have to do is die. It would be nice if people acted like that b4 someone dies instead of after. It's pointless after they are dead.

Yeah and that's why a lot of popular (mumble) rap songs just drone and mix together in my head.

can you tell me names of rappers who actually do that? Because "mumble rapping" is used to basically describe any modern trap rapper while actually beside from like Lil Pump, Lil Yachty and some unknown artists, most famous rapper actually care to articulate and sometime even sing

[@thomdotexe]

I feel like this problem stems from the fact you're listening to the charts and radio, energy in hip hop has never been more alive and raw. JPEGMAFIA Denzel Curry Kids See Ghosts Brockhampton J.I.D Vince Staples noname Pusha-T Travis Scott Thank me later, the mumble rap vibe is something that takes a bit of time to get, you appreciate more the use of vocal chopping, adlibs, and the trippy uses of production, it used to be that there was one artist that held every custom of rap, like a biggie or jay z, energy lyricism and consciousness in one artists but now the landscape has broadened so much that we have more artists specific to a genre, we've become more connected with the personas of one raw ability and a good ear can detect when its done well, Lil Pump, Playboi carti, Ski Mask, all in the mumble rap genre but are so different in terms of flow, style and ability. Dont narrow you're ears as soon as you hear an 808, it used to be the same when guitars were the only thing you'd hear in the charts so people tuned out because they just told themselves 'it all sounds the same" for the sake of nothing more then a sense of pretentious unity , you need to respect the genre and the artists before you learn to appreciate them, this genre isn't meant to entice you lyrically but lyrics are the centre of the song so it's understandable that it becomes confusing, most of these guys are just there for you to peak behind the drug and gang culture, if thats not something that interests you then fine but you can't sit there an say it isn't hypnotising and at the very least fascinating...

I can't believe someone finally agrees with me about Taylor Swift. She talks so much about her reputation when there are SO many other people who have terrible reputations. It's crazy, I don't know. It's really the only reason I don't like her or her music.

[@martasorangeberry]

There is a different tho. You can have a 'bad reputation' for being an awful person, you have super popular rappers, etc that are literally murderers, but that reputation barely makes a difference for them or people's perceptions of them. Even hated people like Justin Biber- he really had to do a lot for his reputation to become super bad. For a 'sweetheart' girl like Taylor Swift that in her first years seemed so sweet with all her charities and being so nice and having 0 controversies, never saying anything wrong or even drinking alcohol or swearing, etc totally pure image, the slightest thing she did was blown out of proportion and ripped apart. That disproportionate level of hate compared to her 'crimes' made her obsess and lash out.

[@terminallumbago6465]

The irony is that nobody else talks or even cares as much about Taylor Swift's reputation as Taylor Swift does

[@freshlybakedsporks]

honestly I think that the 1989 album was Taylor Swift's best era, and I feel like that was because she hit the right balance of self-awareness about her public image without being obsessed with it. She was willing to play with that, to acknowledge in her songs that the relationships she was singing about were whirlwind celebrity romances. On reputation she just went way overboard. Oh and also her songwriting ability took a massive downturn lol

The feeling I get from today's music is...emptiness. Like it's all sung by stale people that had their souls sucked out before they started recording. Yeah, there are some exceptions, but the majority is why I dont listen to the radio anymore. EDIT: I wanna make myself clear. 1: I said that there are exceptions to today's music. I'm not denying that there are good songs out there, because there are, and yes, you have a right to your opinion. I just personally don't like most of the songs coming out, that's all. If you want me to respect your opinions (which I do), please respect that I have one too. Thank you. 2: "who even listens to radio anymore?" I get the point of that, I really do. There are many ways to listen to music now. But you can't listen to KZbin on the go now without downloading the music app and/or paying premium for no ads, which some people can't afford. I personally just search KZbin on my laptop for good music, I use shazam to find out the name of the songs I hear that I like, and I even sometimes browse online radio stations, so I'm not only relying on car radios as my source of music.

He worked with a lot of UK rappers for years such as Devlin and Stormzy (check out Devlin - (all along the) watchtower, Ft Ed). The precedent was there, however, I just don't feel that it works for the US. He even won an award in 2014 for urban music

[@powderedtoastman9711]

Prior to being huge too, he had a whole EP called 'No. 5 Collaborations Project' which every song had a collaboration with a grime artist on it. He's not dipping his toes in this.
