Lmao yikes

yeah i get you but they're not really in the same league writing wise

does billie write like that? i thought a lot of the songs were all finneas. especially when the party's over, ocean eyes etc.

He started making music two years ago after doing acoustic overs. From what i see, he released his first actual song spring 2017 and was signed to Republic doing 100+ millions streams on each release the next year. Within a few months he’s doing stuff like Late Night performances. Seems mad weird to me cus he just makes the same cliche bullshit indie guitar music every act like this does. And now he’s getting direct Elton John mentions.

Right but I think quantity is his focus in the statement (although I'm sure he likes Conan's music a great deal to shout him out).

Majority of them are Finneas. but it's still the same deal of not having many writers on the song (if any, outside of them two). I feel like he'd put her in that category.

tell him his biopic is trash and isn’t real art

f*** you

Old man ramblings lol

Real af!!!!

Or Thug we know Elton stans

He praises who?

That’s not what art is about lol

right but maybe the following he built on youtube helped to catapult his music career? i just looked it up and he has hundreds of thousands of views on his vlog.

i wouldn't put much stock in an Elton John mention. as a musician what else is there to do besides stay up on all the new, young talent lol (I also believe Conan is queer? so that may be a factor)

new thread title: what is a plant?

I don't think he's trashing Hip Hop artist just the ones on the charts right now they far from Thug,Migos and Kanye

music is a collaborative art

people work together to make songs, artistically, commercially, whatever the f*** purpose

lmao just realized how shady the title is cause he praises FJM too, even mentions his name before Conan

you ain't slick OP

correct

Most definitely,they got away cause the main product they were selling back then was the LP. You knew who were famous for their live performances like James Brown,Queen,Michael Jackson etc and then you had album artist. Hell no you can’t get away with it now cause too much is on display,they let us see what they wanted us to see back then.

It’s Kendrick,Ye and Drake in that order(maybe we should throw in J.Cole too)

what the f*** is 'fake music' all songs are real

artistic intent

well he never uses the phrase "fake music" so let's not misquote the man lol

but i think another user had it right when they described it as a "think tank style of production." he's basically saying nobody's writing songs from point A-Z anymore, and that makes for generic music. and he's not entirely wrong.

I think I get what he's saying, he's lowkey right. But eh it's all music. Whether "real" or "fake". I think what he truly wants to say is that most songs in the top 50 on Spotify f***ing suck ass, and from what I just glanced...he might be onto something by saying that.

yeah it's true and has been the case for ages, for many top artists

but that doesn't invalidate the music, nor make it not 'real' (fake, for convenience)

i'm looking at the top 50 right now and lmao wtf? are these tik tok songs or something?

also that Juice WRLD album is all over it damn, that's been out for a few weeks now right?

people derive substance from work with commercial intent, u see it everywhere
