I just saw this crazy performance of Kevin Love dropping 34pts in the 1rst quarter on Twitter: something I had never seen or knew of

And instantly I understood the greatness. It doesn’t matter that it is years old. We can understand and appreciate the greatness

Now think of music: when someone says “Man Biggie was the MAN back in the day, listen to THIS” and they play you a classic Big track, like Long Kiss Goodnight

There is a chance that the listener may NOT understand that greatness, because music is not as clear cut as something like basketball. Putting the ball in the hoop and scoring is definitive, but enjoying music is not

I see

Are we just going to ignore I’m the hottest 18 year old on KTT with an OnlyFans??

Absolutely groundbreaking revelation

you could’ve just said sports has actual stats that result in a winner and loser while music does not

classic Big track, like Long Kiss Goodnight

yeah ill be real a lot of the time when folks will post a statline screenshot and be like “carti on WLR” or something it usually the safest opinions ever and perpetuates some hivemind s***

but sometimes s*** is funny so who cares

The only way to truly be undeniable goat is to ball like Jordan and rap like Eminem

um

Really makes you think

Living through Em’s run was really crazy fr

Just read an Ice Cube interview few hours ago he said Music is a time capsule.

😂😂

Sports are the one form of entertainment where greatness is concrete, measurable

Film, music, the product of conditioning by the powers that be. You can convince anyone that anybody is good musically. You can’t do that with sports

Your right in the sense that music or art in general is completely subjective

You can not say a piece of music/movie/art is objectively better than another piece because it’s all based on someones feelings and emotions

However the skill required to make certain pieces of art is not subjective. Someone can objectively be a better guitarist. Learning to do an amazing solo is something that takes skill and objectively I can’t say it’s better than someone just strumming random out of key notes with no rhythm. But I can objectively say that solo is harder to do and takes more skill

That same logic applies to rapping. Flows, rhymes, story telling, metaphors and entendres is something that takes practice and skill to get good at. And that’s the part people who like “real rapping” appreciate

Not exactly just because there could be a KLove level of performance like this one, and his team could still lose

Or there could be a player that always puts up great numbers but has 0 championships and always loses

Metaphorically speaking of course

Hakeem is the goat center ever

Yeah but players have their own individual stats tho that people use

But to me that’s like being a fan of Aaron Gordon’s crazy dunking ability

Yeah I can be a fan of how he did that insane jumping over the mascot dunk, but the fact of the matter is we will rarely get to see it because it doesn’t really help him win games

The point of ball is to win games, much like we will rarely see some extreme level of rapping or guitar solo because the point of music is to make great songs

Right, but again with music it’s tough cause it’s almost impossible to objectify the feeling an artist gave you

Like we may never understand how Big L helped someone in Harlem survive

With sports you go to the stats and see “Damn, Magic Johnson was actually a great player”

top 5 doa

eminem was DIFFERENT

classic thread

“the point of music is to make great songs”

By your own logic that doesn’t make sense because there is no such thing as a great song, It’s all subjective
