I mean if so many people speak highly of a record, you ain’t allowed to put it in your top 5 because you don’t got memories attached to it?

Idk Tyler sounding like a gate keeper. I kinda get it that you wanna praise s*** you got an emotional attachment to but also, it’s okay to appreciate records or artists that are heavily praised because end of the day, if they’re praised by so many, it’s not outlandish to think other people could mess with them too

What’s corny is if you feel pressured by society to not bump an artist cuz social media hates on them or a song they did. F*** that noise

would you even post this if you were really free

Are you accusing of me of being performative, by admitting I’m performative sometimes?

Guess you can’t escape it

he said this in an extremely performative way but yeah quantifying art is usually reductive & bad . overall i cant be mad at people talking about music tho could be a lot worse i guess

i dont think being performative & being free are opposites but yeah kinda . not that it's a bad thing or that you couldn't be both

Davidp fw me because im myself

Real contrarian

this is 99% of ktt2

The rule is: you can only have a top 5 with artists peak that was after you was born

he’s right but real performative contrarian hours

He actually making a good point but you completely right

He’s not wrong. They’re the most annoying d***heads in hiphop, he’s definitely talking about a few of y’all.

Good point.

1.Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly

2.Madvillain - Madvillainy

3.Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d City

4.Nas - Illmatic

5.Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

6.Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang : 36 Chambers

7.A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

8.Death Grips - The Money Store

9.Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition

10.Kanye West - The College Dropout

this all boils down to tyler having an obvious bias against 90’s hiphop (especially east-coast) he’s just using funky language so as to not come off as a hater. this isn’t the first time he’s alluded to this either

he’s just projecting. like is it rly that weird to have the nigga who made all eyez on me + me against the world in ur top 5?

nah we hate dust

when i was in elementary my favorite album of all time was daft punk random access memories

when i was in middle school my favorite album of all time was john coltrane's my favorite things.

when i started high school, my favorite album of all time was illmatic.

none of that sht was performative, i didn't even talk to ppl abt what i listened to. I just genuinely felt that way.

Maybe this is just a diss to wu-tang or something?? like i can totally see a kid just genuinely rlly f***ing w wu-tang.. maybe tyler can't imagine that, maybe he doesn't think their music is good enough to appeal to kids lol

what's so ridiculous is there's definitely ppl out there who only f*** w NERD performatively bc Tyler told them Pharrell was cool in the 00s. but if one of those kids came up to tyler on some "In Search Of... is one of the best albums ever made" just to sound cool, tyler wouldn't bat an eye.

this isn't abt performative enjoyment or abt how young kids not supposed to like old s***, it's just abt Tyler not liking wu tang lmao

Tyler makes boring s*** nowadays ngl

i get what he is saying but the way he communicated it was ass

F*** that, 'cause these niggas ain't f***in' with me /
'cause I don't listen to the immortal tech of the nique /
And all this underground bullshit can never gone peak /
On the billboard top 20 and jam of the week /
Id rather listen to Baduh and Pusha the T /
And wacka flocka flame instead of that real hip hop that's full of the s***

You can sense when a person is putting on an act for a ‘favorite album’ or not and that’s what he’s referring to

I really don’t think people are forcing themselves to listen to wu tang and lie about liking it online for the sake of other people liking them

And he would be real as f*** for that
