Warhol was genius

What does this mean

Ian read this bs thread but ill say that song posted in OP sent me on a rabbit hole of exploring 80s Nigerian funk and afro pop

Im literally nigerian and had no idea that amazing scene existed thx OP

Anyways igor a classic, 80s nigerian music a W, black music stay on top

one of my favorites

Correct

As it stands he has 0 good albums

Yea ive heard of william

It’s weird i grew up hearing a lot of these names but i never thought to actually listen to the s*** lol

Thanks for the recommendation

A genius at marketing his mediocre “paintings”

Greatest contribution he made to the world was in music

Coming back to this thread in the future

His paintings were genius

You literally can’t explain how without bringing up how he marketed them. Some are nice but he’s many tiers below Picasso, Basquiat, Van Gogh, Matisse, Dali, etc

y’all really hate this nigga

besides

great artists steal

I think OP is right about proper credit though
Reminds me of how Kanye “sampled” Avril 14th then didn’t give Aphex credit

nah he’s 100% right about that

change your avy

Technical skill is irrelevant in regards to the real skill of impact and revolution in philosophy and culture that an artist brings to the table

Warhole was able to combine the iconography of popular culture with with the dazzling colors of his hand paintings and the eye grabbing layers of his silk screening, creating a physical manifestation of the uniquely American phenomenon of the popular spectacle and celebrating years of American iconography

His work laid a blueprint for pop art and modern day expressionism and helped revived Dadaist sentiments in modern art. The sheer absurdity of things like Four Marilyn’s and the context surrounding it would stump anyone classically trained in art

I respect what he’s done and thoroughly understand his influence but there’s too much irony involved in it for me to look at his paintings and feel “moved”

appreciate the write up fam. i feel the same way about this project too. whatever tyler feels like i guess

Hip hop fans complaining about people biting production is hilarious

What makes the genre stand out production wise was sampling and remixing old production. yeah it would've been cool if Tyler posted all the s*** he took from to get more people interested in these obscure records but I see literally nothing wrong with this.

bruh biting is litterally og hip hop language and has been frowned upon from the jump. Sampling is not biting, it's creative. Hip hop reinvented everything. This here is biting, he didnt do anything.

Masterpiece

new copypasta?

This shouldn't be downplayed as "just sampling". Compare Bound 2 to the OG Ponderosa Twins song, then compare A boy is a gun to the original song. Tyler not doing enough to change s*** for it to be considered "just sampling". A lot of you just didn't realize this and now you're dismissing the thread as hating Would probably be agreeing with OP right now if this were a Logic album

I'm not going to act like Tyler is a liar or a snake because I've been aware of the songs he sampled and been bumping them for years now. But Puppet, Thank You, Are we still friends doesn't change enough for it to be considered entirely new tracks and certainly doesn't warrant that "All songs written, produced and arranged by" s*** he feels the need to flex on the cover. Would be far more suitable for Wolf, CB or FlowerBoy instead of IGOR

!!!
Some of the tracks in OP is similar s***. He barely changed anything but has that disclaimer on the cover

I always found threads that try to get us to dislike something that’s generally beloved and celebrated pretty f***ing strange
