If we talk exclusively about rap, Kendrick will surpass him
and if we count groups, death grips as act are superior to him.
when kanye said WHO THEY WAITIN ON THATS PABLO that hit me more deeply and more true than anything jeff mangum has ever thought
swans are so dope fam. I hate that here they get ignored/slandered as fake deep just because they get high rates from fantano and pitchfork
lots of the niggas on this site are supremely insecure about their taste, they'll hype up whoever is the latest dude trending or is hyped up - but god forbid you like an artist that happens to be a /mu/ darling/fantano favorite, you're immediately some sort of contrarian hipster dude that hates rap music
wait until they find out that solely listening to rap music and s***ting on other genres just makes you look like a brainlet tho their loss
you're not completely misconceived in saying that a lot of rap fans (aka most of this site, really) are insecure about their taste, but to say you have a "higher taste level" is pretentious as s*** - you come off as a fantano stan
I wasn’t talking about myself, but people who believe they have a higher taste level usually look down on rap.
I don’t really understand rap so I can’t say if it’s good or bad in itself.
I honestly don’t think what music you listen to puts you in a certain bracket in a cultural context i.e Bordieu’s theories about ‘high and low’ for example; because most people use music (or art in general) as escapism so I understand there is a certain pragmatism to the approach.
Props for your long post some pages back as well; beautifully put.
Swans have far better runs in their discography than the one you've mentioned afaic.
Imo Kanye definitely doesn't have the best run in music history but it's a fan site.

yep
Whose alt?
His 5/6 album stretch with "The College Dropout"/"MBDTF" is legendary.
Not many people can say they have 5 classic solo records.
uhhh ohhh the self serious rock guy is here. I better rethink my entire existence on this kanye fan site cause my guy has heard swans
This dude really asked if people really believe Kanye had a better run than Talk Talk

Multiple runs as well?
Bar SFTB, there’s nothing close to the quality of the albums I’ve mentioned in their discography.
And that discography is damn near flawless.
at least 3 of the songs on the albums in that Swans run are some guy yelping and barking and making noises with a wobbly dark guitar vibe in the background
kanye also has songs like that but at least u can play them infront of girls
YE wins

Dark Lord Gira

ass so is kendrick
@op TRIED TO TRICK ME BY MAKING UP NAMES OF COMPOSERS I AM F***ING SCREAMING
Better than The Seer, To Be Kind & The Glowing Man?
Better than F# A#, Slow Riot & Lift Your Skinny Fists?
Better than The Party’s Over to Laughing Stock?
Or is it just something rap fans try to tell themselves because people with a higher taste level look down on their genre of choice?
I’m a fan of music not just rap/hip hop
Some of the runs I think are the best are
Jimi Hendrix Experience (three flawless albums also very influential too),
Radiohead (minus their first album and you’ve got a flawless discography),
Kanye West (self explanatory on this website),
Daft Punk (only one of their albums is a 7.5-8 the others are all 9-10 even have one of the highest rated live albums of all time),
And then
Michael Jackson (not as solid as the others I mentioned but still worth mentioning).
yeah he does imo. animals is pretty boring, and i don't like any of umagumma up to dark side, and then the wall on is pretty rough imo as well
Agreed except I disagree with the Wall being rough but, yes he does. Pink Floyd have some albums that came out later when the band wasn’t together anymore and they’re all right but yeah.
