These few posts in RTJ4 thread got me thinking abt this again

Like EVERY f***ing time lol, same s*** with TA13OO (not even a left field album tbh s*** just has a concept and a variety of sounds)

Apparently making somewhat different from meta rap music is automatically corny and bad? Can someone explain this lol

Edit:
I don't really care about exact definition of reddit-core or list of artists. I'm specifically asking how does it make music worse and why does it even change someone’s perception of said music?

Because a lot of times Reddit actually does f*** with it heavy.

Doesn’t mean it’s bad tho

Also reddit core doesn’t really mean s*** imo. Almost every relevant artist has a subreddit from Drake to Kendrick to Uzi, etc

Are Run the Jewels and Denzel Curry not two of Reddit's favorite rappers?

So is xxxtenacity

He's literally their second least favorite black person behind chris brown

Reddit moment

How would you know this?

Because i've been on reddit before?

the subreddits for ye and uzi are way more active than those for "reddit core" artits too

Taboo isn’t left field, it’s completely inoffensive and middle of the road

You’re missing my question

I don’t give a f*** what Reddit listens to

I’m asking why/how it makes music worse

He has one of the biggest artist subs. He’s def “reddit core”

You can’t call JPEG mafia reddit core when your favorite rapper has a much bigger fanbase on reddit than he does lol

SpOtTeD ThE RedDIt UsEr

yall need to go to r/hiphopheads and explain to me how they not have pretty much the exact same opinions like the majority of ktt2 users

The people on subreddits for X, Uzi, Kanye and so on are not the main Reddit community

usually its less about the quality or content of the album and more about how a lot of these albums get circlejerked to death on reddit where you cant go any discussion without them being mentioned, and them being so obsessive with these albums means they get labeled overrated. especially with how like ridiculously obsessive they are about saying the same 5 albums it becomes easy to identify who's from reddit and who isn't a lot, which comes with other implications about how/why they consume music and other stuff

They literally do

I don’t understand where this anti-Reddit thing came from

KTT2 and Reddit are literally one in the same

Also r/hiphopcirclejerk

I'm convinced that most younger KTT users post on that subreddit

left field albums that are actually not that left field, basically "experimental" rap for plebians get called reddit core. Nobody is calling Drain Gang reddit core, and it's for a reason.

Again
So what? I could give a f*** about who d***rides what. I’m here to bump music and enjoy it, not participate in circle jerks/pretend to be street af etc

They really do, thats why I get confused by the insults. They're not all Aesop Rock listening neckbeards.

i mostly agree with your point but i’d be hard-pressed to find a more archetypal example of a reddit sub for music than r/kanye

And the artists you named have more fans on Reddit than run the jewels lol.

Ur basing ur opinion off ktt reddit stereotypes and not for he actual numbers
