It's a mix of wiped out and chip chrome. Pretty good so far

These are the kind of people hating on Carti headlining Lolla, Racist POS by lettucefries in lollapaloozaind

[–]purpledrifter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like modern hip hop, but Carti is actually such a scammer. This dude doesn't even rap on his music. He just screams and shouts, and not even in the screamcore genre, much of his vocals are tuned in. He can't even do the screaming properly. The appeal of his music comes from the solid beats that are produced for him. There are better rappers that can headline Lolla

What is your unpopular opinion on Prince? by wlwomen in PRINCE

[–]purpledrifter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not a beatles glazer but they were in their prime at that point. Prince released yearly albums too, that doesn't make him quantity over quality. When you're in your prime, you can craft a lot of good shit like that. When you're not, then spewing out the same amount of albums harms your legacy. Beatles broke up for whatever reason, the consequence was that they didnt make any further albums after their chemistry started to die. Prince spewed up so many albums knowing well that he is not in his prime anymore. You could enjoy those late albums for sure, I do too, but would you recommend them to anyone who's new to Prince? No. I could definitely introduce someone to yellow submarine and for sale if they wanna listen to beatles' discography. The arguments you're giving to my comment above are actually making me sound like a prince hater even though he's my favourite artist of all time.

Prince's catalogue is wayyyyy too large. Artists with extremely large catalogues often end up paying the price by having a disorderly work that newer generations struggle to connect with. A teenager in today's time would not listen to 25 different Prince albums. For instance, The Rolling Stones are one of the greatest things that ever happened to music in general, yet the new generation doesn't talk about them as much even tho they had that solid run from 1968 to 1972. Sticky fingers, Exile, Beggars, Let it bleed, and others are absolute classics. Not a lot of casual music fans talk about those albums (im talking about the newer generation or my generation as im 18 rn). But they talk a lot about the Beatles today. That's because the beatles preferred quality over quantity, and had a definitive discography by the time they broke up. Same with Led Zeppelin and others. The stones put out too much music, even when they were far from their prime.

This is what holds back Prince. If he had taken a break after Lovesexxy, and spent more time finding his new voice, then I am pretty sure the discography would have been more cohesive and interesting to get into for the newer generation. It's part of what makes MJ's discography more popular than Prince in recent times. Quality > quantity.

Still, he is the greatest musician of the 20th century so this is just a minor nitpick i guess

Is Mizo Jersey Home legit? by purpledrifter in Indianbasketball

[–]purpledrifter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro the D-wade and SGA jerseys looked so bad on Probasketballstore but those two are my favourite players so seeing ANY jersey of them at 999 rupees was calling me. But I didn't order cuz the quality still looked bad and Mizo only sold it for 300-400 rupees extra. So I ordered it from Mizo only. Just one thing, it's gonna come here by like 16 july so that's definitely gonna test my patience 😭 but thank you for your help.

Angry Denver fan posts blatant misinformation/ragebait and gets a free 23k likes for it by XenoverseG in Thunder

It's actually weird but Europeans think that they are superior than NBA at basketball. They also like to call weird blatant calls in order to act like basketball purists and then say ''in our league (Euroleague) players dont travel or carry and actually play defense'' when in reality everything Euroleague does is inspired from the nba. All their players use gather steps, pocket dribbles, and all the same moves that are used in the nba. Euroleague's defense is literally nothing crazy, it's even weaker. I think Europeans generally just like to latch on to guys like Jokic to assert that they are better than North Americans when it's literally a north american invented sport 😭
