ChickennuggetSome are you being intentionally dense just to hate on him. He’s not saying kids can’t enjoy Wu-Tang albums, he’s saying people feel obligated to say the same 5 albums/rappers are their favorites because it’s the “right” opinion

exactly. rym charts, letterboxd, etc. create a cycle of everyone just having the same exact opinions on everything. "The Godfather has a 4.6 so i guess i gotta also love it too! and if i dont love it it's cuz i dont understand it and i should trick myself into liking it!"

i think people not actually reading/watching/consuming the content that they react to is a massive issue and it’s wild to see people get thousands of likes on a judgement of someone’s character that’s just completely misunderstood
Jun 9, 2023·1 replyCloudyDreamsI 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
thats clearly not what hes saying, hes saying people shouldnt rate albums highly they themselves dont like but feel theyre obligated to like because of some context of objectivity. like basically its fine if you like something, but at the same time you should be honest if you personally like it more than something else, not if its "objectively" better or not.

nigga said “i watched people prop up music that genuinely promoted violence/drug use/misogyny in real life but were specifically appalled by the upside down cross”
and the response is “but you had controversial lyrics!!” nigga the point is that the lyrics weren’t the breaking point for certain people, the satan s*** was

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
I don’t think Tyler dislikes Wu tang? Bro literally takes so much inspiration from RZAs beats

the amount of niggas on twitter crafting this narrative that tyler is trying to erase his early days when he performs goblin songs at every show, has had several lyrics and interviews where he openly acknowledges it etc is mind blowing bro lmao

you think if somebody told him they love NERD and he asked what he loved about them and they couldn’t actually explain it because they’re cappin, he wouldn’t clown them?
he been on this “like what you like and figure out why you like it” s*** for years lol and logically it makes sense. why would that be a facade and not a genuine feeling lmao

SaintJitterxburgFLI 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
i’ve absolutely heard people say “i listened to ___ and tried to like it” several times
and from growing up til today i’ve always seen people big up artists or albums and they haven’t really listened to it much or truly love it, it’s just a cool thing to be a fan of.

Yeah Tyler’s a lil off base with that one cause some of our favorite bands and artists are people that were before our times.
Like I wasn’t around for the Beatles run but they are undoubtedly my favorite band
Jun 9, 2023every interview he drops I dislike him more, shame because he is a good artist but man he is insufferable
