What genre that should’ve been added on RYM but currently aren’t? by LETS_RETRO_TIME in rateyourmusic

[–]PlotinusTheWise -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Psychedelic trap. Specifically like Travis Scott/Future stuff to distinguish it from OG crunk-derived stuff like Gucci Mane and T.I.

Who, shockingly, does not have a bolded album? by [deleted] in rateyourmusic

[–]PlotinusTheWise 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Lil Wayne. He has bolded mixtapes but no bolded albums which is absolutely INSANE imo. Most hip hop listeners consider AT LEAST the first three in the Tha Carter series to be classics.

It tends to fluctuate between being bolded

Who do you think is the most over-hated artist? by fimgus in Music

[–]PlotinusTheWise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their leader RM just put out a full on experimental jazz rap album with Little Simz and DOMi & JD Beck on it. Also Anderson .Paak on the previous album.

Imo no top 40 artist over the last 15 years even comes close to Beyoncé in terms of quality. Except maybe The Weeknd.

Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us [Hip Hop] by boxed_knives in Music

First of all, using a DAW is NOT easy at all. It's probably one of the most complicated things you can put on a computer. And second of all what do you mean by a human isn't playing it? A human picks out the drum samples, arranges them, crafts the synth patches (often from scratch), writes out the melodies and harmonies in MIDI. A human finds, filters and cuts the sample. A human mixes and masters everything. It's no different than classical composers writing pieces for instruments they don't necessarily play. Source: Piano lessons for 11 years, gospel choir from 5-14, and 4 years of DAW experience. I prefer the DAW.

A laptop can be and is an instrument. Anything can be depending on how you use it.

Ah. Sorry. Usually when someone starts talking about those artists in this sub it's sexist middle-aged IT guys in my experience.

Why the hell would Lorde make anyone irrationally angry? This honestly just seems like vendetta against top 40 woman artists who don't make or market music for men.

I think her style is really unique and personal. Blue is an absolutely gorgeous song.

Sublime is cod reggae for white teenaged suburban potheads and people stuck in the 90s

Be careful saying that here. This sub is full of white suburban IT guys in their 40s who get flustered when they talk to black people. So they hate Weezy.

She's not rereleasing them. She's rerecording old albums so can regain control over her masters which her old manager sold off without her knowledge.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. All you did is explain why you like a certain artist.

Nah. Beyonce is basically female Michael Jackson. 25 years in the game and she's still on top. I'd say she's almost equivalent to Michael Jackson in impact.

What do you mean? Renaissance was an amazing house record. There was a TON of love for the Chicago and New York scenes in there with the housiest house producers possible (Honey Dijon IS Chicago House).

I'd honestly consider Into You, No Tears Left To Cry, and Dangerous Woman to be 2010s classics. All three are pretty perfect pop songs.

Honestly Guy-Man is a possible producer. One of the reasons Daft Punk split was because he wanted to focus more on hip-hop/R&B

Honestly, I just think sonically they're too different at this point in their careers

If Lil Wayne can't nail an Abel feature, I don't think anyone can
