Have you ever read a well written music review, or any kind of analysis of an artistic work? They always take into consideration the intention of the project, what's going on in the artist's life, etc. It's never simply about the music. That's what I meant about the IC being too closed minded in viewing the album.
No. It is always simply about the music. Now, if you want to get more complicated with it you can go into all that kinda stuff, and take into consideration all sorts of things, but ultimately it's always about the music.
And you don't think that any of those other factors affect the music?
Based on that narrow logic then The Chronic is whack because the music alone isn't anything special.
Introducing a new sound and impacting the genre doesn't matter since it's just about the music.
A lot of people here seem to confuse their personal enjoyment of something with it's merit as a piece of work.
when u listen to beethoven 9th symphony it stands on its own regardless of what he going through when he made it
when i play john coltrance "love supreme" it stands on its own regardless of what he going through when he made it
when i listen to marvin gays "whats goin on" it stands on its own regardless of what he going through when he made it
when i listen to beatles white album, its stands on its own regardless of what they were going through when they made it
now if i go and do the research on top of that, then i may appreciate those works i just mentioned even more, but the music itself stands on its own outside of all that shit. there aint nothing narrow about that thinking. mary had a little lamb is a song all kids know by the time they are 5 cause that shit is catchy and stands on its own, no one cares what the creator of that song was going through at the time, but if u go into it you may get the backstory and be like "damn that makes this shit even better" but the backstory of some shit only ENHANCES the undelying music, it doesnt stand as a substitute
and gtfoh about comparing this shit to the chronic. the chronic banged everywhere from the day it came out. it's too early to say if yeezus will create a new sound or impact the genre, but as of today that shit is simply not good music. regardless of the name of the label.
gtfoh trying to say this shit will create a new sound that impacts the genre on the level of the chronic when its been out for less than 12 hours
this shit is hot garbage. accept my opinion and stop trying to belittle me just cause i dont like the shit. u like it and thats great, i don't. dont be looking down saying i dont know about this and that cause im narrowminded. i listen to everything from jazz to country to techno to soul to bluegrass to hip hop and to folk music. metal, rock, alt, classical and pop too. and it is with that wide knowledge base that i am saying this album is an overindulgent, overly hyped, bullshit concept album that fell short of its mark.
indicud is a gazillion times better than this and actually hit its mark. kanye just served up a big hot steaming pile of doo doo JDSTAYWITIT
