Kanye is the artist of the decade, Lana is gorgeous, Drake is a corny dude but his album was quite good.

but w/e, i don't really care what people listen to.

P.S. this board needs Cantankerous more than anything.
and i don't only mean nude pix (even doe that would instantly bring back everybody else)..

If we could somehow make a nikk/satan crossbreed Android with posting functions, I think everything would be ok.
:(

Please make it be ok.

Nope. Just CD and LR. Some of 808's. Yeah, he's the artist of the decade, but it's just not my thing.

fair enough. i can't stand Merzbow but i would think twice before just calling him "shit".

At the very least he's the mainstream artist of the decade. I think the real underdog story was that of Arcade Fire. They went from nearly calling it quits as unknowns in the early 00's to winning over the indie contingent to winning Album of the Year at the Grammy's within seven years. If they don't go on to become the next U2, they'll at least be the most consistently high-quality mainstream rock offering of the auts.

I still can't get the goddamn Suburbs out of my head. Not just one song either... the whole fucking album.

keep poppin pimples 01.01.2012 04:39 PM

the arcade fire...... few things are worse than drake

louder 01.01.2012 04:39 PM

Yeah, that wasn't kosher. I can't say Kanye's shit. He's obviously extremely talented, but he has yet to wow me with anything other than his aesthetic prowess. He's got fashion, album art, timing, production and franchising down, but he has yet to turn a phrase that turns my head.

We'll see. I'll need to listen to him more. I revisited the first two albums last year, because I really wanted to give him a chance, and I thought they were terrible. Fantasy is alright though.

Yeah, I understand that. But I couldn't stop listening to NB, and I've been a fan since I first saw them in like 02 or 03. The Suburbs doesn't grab you on first listen, but if you let the songs sink in, you'll find it's every bit as infectious and tearjerking as Funeral.

Give it a shot. They deserved to publicly own Lady Gaga and Eminem in front of a nation of people who had no idea who they were. Suburbs is a little too "easy" to be an all-time favorite of mine, but it is pretty much perfect. And in retrospect, so are the rest of their records.

If they are the next U2, then I suppose Suburbs was their Unforgettable Fire. Next would come Joshua Tree and awfulness. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

louder 01.01.2012 04:50 PM

or they could remain consistent forever like Radiohead.

unlike Wayne, Em & others who have became corrupted over the years.. Ye's obviously not in it for the money.
for instance, otherwise he would've never made something like the Monster video which he knew would immediately get banned from TV.
everyone in the hip-hop community respects him, to say the least. saying he's "shit" is just very ignorant.

you need to learn to shut that motherfucker down before the first chorus.

flots wisdom

louder 01.01.2012 05:23 PM

^but you did check out C2 after all. respect.

apparently most people here probably won't give the self proclaimed "gangsta Nancy Sinatra" a fair chance, cuz Mr. Hayden disapproved. :(

shall 'we' all agree that it's all shit
and to make something good talent is needed
if 'we' all accept that truth
we can wait for something good
while the unending shit is passing bye
