Serious / Re: Einstein and Newton had autism.
« on: September 03, 2015, 07:36:26 PM »
i highly doubt einstein had autism, he had relationships and children with like three different women
Asperger's (which is high functioning autism with slightly different variables in the spectrum) doesn't necessarily mean a person won't have successful relationships. Also didn't he marry his cousin?

No matter how much every says they hate McDonald's, there's always one item on the menu everyone likes.

I hate McDonald's and there's nothing on the menu I like. I haven't been there in over 10 years.
You wouldn't know if it had anything you liked if you haven't been in a decade.

Micky D's is gutter trash tier food.

Serious / Einstein and Newton had Asperger's.
« on: September 03, 2015, 03:51:09 PM »
Or at least researchers speculate that they do. And they're talking about Asperger's syndrome which is a higher functioning form of autism. This explains the stories I've heard of Newton having no girlfriend or many interpersonal relationships.
So, I suppose people who are suspected of Asperger's can't be faulted for seeing the world more abstractly.

What do you think of Kendrick?
I haven't listened to much of his newer stuff, but I think he's a pretty good lyricist and puts some actual emotion into his rapping. Rappers like him who came from actual poverty in the hood tend to have a more advanced form of wordplay to tell their story.

actually, pop music is the most popular genre

that's why it's called pop music
This is true. Second most popular.
Actually, I'm pretty sure in America that that's country music.
Nah I still think rap beats it, even in the south.

Every rapper is a bad rapper.
Yet it's the most popular genre. Yet they're constantly getting awards and influencing our culture. I bet you're one of those people who listen to obscure rock music alone in their room.
What's wrong with obscure rock or obscure music in general?

Popularity =/= quality

The general population doesn't actually know much about music on a technical level and if its good or not. Fucking Justin Bieber is even more popular than Drake would you say Justin Bieber is a better musician than Drake?
I've already addressed this, slash. I've already addressed this.
yeah you've addressed that popularity = quality and that's incorrect
I didn't say that. I said popularity is linked to quality and is a means to measure whether something is good or not. Like I told Jim, it's not possible to quantify something subjective like this. The best I can do is point out the amount of fans, the sells, and the awards given to an artist.
Fans and sales don't mean shit when you completely lack originality and innovation like Drake.
Son, you people can take shots at Drake all you want but we all know he changed the game.

Drake is the best rapper of today, if not all time. I'd even say he's one of the best musicians of all time. Most number ones, platinum sells on all his work, and a Grammy. Not to mention he bodied meek. You can't touch him.

Stop
Is that all you got? Couldn't contradict the fact that he has numerous awards by actually music critics and is selling in the millions constantly? Okay.

Being popular doesn't equate to being good. The masses don't seek out good music, they just listen to what's being shoved into their faces by big labels.
You guys keep making this argument, but you're forgetting good is subjective. Let me break it down.
Drake has millions of fans, and those fans like his music. Thus there are millions of people who thinks he's good. And in regards to labels, they're not just going to sign someone who is bad or they'll lose money.
And let's not forget Drake is a Canadian Jew from the suburbs who acted on a teen sitcom. The rap game isn't going to accept him if he's anything less than good.
the labels do not care if he is OBJECTIVELY good, and it's impossible to truly say that an artist is OBJECTIVELY good as far as we know.

They will sign him if he brings them money because a lot of people like him. That doesn't mean he's good objectively, that means that to many people he is subjectively seen as good.
This is what I've been saying, Jim. Also it really depends on the label as to whether or not they think you're good. They could sign a guy who is building momentum as an independent or they could scout out people who have legit talent.
On the issue of Drake, he did a few tapes and pulled some strings to where Wayne listen to it and signed him. Wayne had to think he was good to some extent. Ans once Drake got put on by YMCMB it was over. He is on top of the rap game due to talent, because there are people signed to YMCMB that we haven't even heard of.
But what you are trying to say is that an artist is good BECAUSE people like them. That is not the case.
I don't see how you can easily measure whether something is good besides opinion on a grand scale.
In my deeply elitist heart I like to believe there is some hidden means of measuring quality that will one day prove my glorious taste in things to be the correct one, but everything is probably just all subjective and cannot truly be measured by anything other than your own emotions.
True say. At the end of the day we all enjoy the music.

Love it. The composition that can be achieved with EDM is vast, which is why it has so many subgenres. In terms of melodies, tones, auditory ranges, and complexity, EDM is the  pinnacle  of music. And before people say I'm biased, it's not my favorite genre.

selling=/=good

Just look the Beatles.
Selling = people consume it, and in the entertainment industry, people constantly consuming it means it's good. People won't buy or listen to his music if he was as bad as people claim he is.
I can't believe I am replying to this obvious bait post, and I especially can't believe I am replying with the following statement, but

music is mostly subjective, so album sales do not necessarily equal higher quality of music.
Yes, my argument isn't saying he is objectively good. Subjectivity is why I'm saying he's selling a lot, because those people subjectively think he's good. Also he has tons of awards by music critics so I could argue he's good from an analytical perspective too.

But Taylor Swift sells lots of albums.
Because Taylor Swift has talent. I personally don't fuck with her music, not because it isn't good but it doesn't fit my general taste. But I'll acknowledge her vocal talent and she has some pretty fire instrumentals behind those vocals at times.
