So what current rap artists suck or are also the worst?

4/13/2018 2:01:09 PM

Look, Ive said plenty of artists suck, from country to hip-hop, but I'm not up here on my high horse putting down others for their opinion.

4/13/2018 2:03:00 PM

^^ Lil’ Xan

^ who have I put down for their opinion?

[Edited on April 13, 2018 at 2:07 PM. Reason : .]

4/13/2018 2:04:10 PM

Lil Xan...is that just bc he called Tupac's music boring?

What about Lil Yachty? Lil Uzi Vert? Lil Pump? XXXTentacion? Playboi Carti?

Any other examples?

4/13/2018 2:29:19 PM

no, it’s because he’s a joke

Lil’ Yachty/Uzi Vert have legitimately good songs. Lil’ Yachty is in “Broccoli”. he gets a pass for being in such an enjoyable song. I don’t know enough about the others to have an opinion, which is fine.

4/13/2018 2:38:44 PM

I'd rather listen to Little Anthony

95% of newer rappers are straight garbage...that includes Migos, Future, Big Sean, etc (who I know tgl3 really likes). Exceptions come in the form of the Kendrick Lamars and Cardi B's.

/end of discussion


Let's talk SNL. Hopefully Mulaney will bring the lulz this weekend.

4/13/2018 7:05:44 PM

I for one hope he continues his feud with Timotheé Chalamet.

4/13/2018 7:58:41 PM

^^ I’ve never posted anything about being fans of any of those you listed, especially not Big Sean

I like a lot of of their singles, but their albums don’t really do it for me

You've thus far only called someone universally clowned for a really dumb interview.

What else ya got?

4/13/2018 10:14:18 PM

when did i mention an interview?

4/13/2018 10:55:29 PM

when did I say you mentioned an interview?

and you are repeatedly dodging a very basic question.

[Edited on April 13, 2018 at 11:14 PM. Reason : Ok I meant to say "called out". Can't imagine that's your hangup here.]

4/13/2018 11:11:56 PM

that interview has no bearing on my opinion of him, as I’ve never been a Tupac fan at all

I’m not enough into what’s going on in a micro level to have a fully formed opinion on current artists outside of current singles

that suitable enough for you, one who leeches onto conversations?

4/13/2018 11:42:02 PM

Ok, expand the scope to the last 15 years of rap.

4/14/2018 12:25:24 AM

nah, I’m good

4/14/2018 12:45:57 AM

You're getting pretty preachy and drawing a line in the sand with "it’s not really that difficult to say, “this just isn’t for me” instead of, “they suck/are trash”

I'm interested in who you dislike so much that it makes you cross your own line, in addition to Old Crow Medicine Show, 311, Mumford and Sons, and Lil Xan.

Probably just confusing you with the other "all-knowing" music fans on this site. I just through in Big Sean as another rapper that was abysmal on SNL in recent years.

4/14/2018 7:13:06 AM

he put cardi b in a group with kendrick lamar lol

4/14/2018 11:24:03 PM

I’m ridiculously happy to have seen Mulaney live a few months ago

so fuckin good

4/14/2018 11:43:50 PM

he says he wrote that in 2010 and it never got past the table read

same with Switcheroo in 2009

4/15/2018 2:15:45 PM

Switcheroo was great

4/15/2018 2:58:50 PM

great episode

5/6/2018 1:17:27 AM

Starting to wonder if Redbone is gonna be a one hit wonder. Maybe i need more time with these new tracks.

But yea great ep, except for the cold open. They've gotten so lazy, "let's just get celebrities and not even bother with jokes". And Baldwin's Trump has run its course and jumped the shark

5/6/2018 9:09:19 AM

LAMBO!

Leslie Jones' SNL segment was hilarious.

A Kanye Place was great.

Very good episode.

[Edited on May 6, 2018 at 10:17 PM. Reason : ^ Agreed with Baldwin's Trump, but not your assessment of Redbone.]

5/6/2018 10:16:39 PM

I preferred the first song

5/6/2018 11:29:42 PM

I thought it was an average episode with a cold opening that was a jump the shark situation, too

that really weighed it down

Wut

5/7/2018 12:19:19 AM

I mean none of his rap tracks are hits, and those songs just didn't have that earworm quality that Redbone has.

Of course, this is America video blew the fuck up after I posted that so I'm probably wrong. Also, TIA played better not live. (although his rapping there almost feels like he's imitating other rappers :shrug: )

[Edited on May 7, 2018 at 7:26 AM. Reason : E]

5/7/2018 7:26:21 AM

I thought Glover was great.... and I really liked Childish Gambino too (even though it was claimed earlier itt that i regularly come in here to complain about contemporary hip hop musicians)

5/8/2018 12:38:33 PM

he’s the #1 Migos fan, ha

5/8/2018 12:40:45 PM

^^^both of his previous albums were very high on the charts. Camp peaked at #11, #2 hip hop and #2 rap. Because the internet was even better, peaking at #7 and was #1 on the rap charts and is certified gold just like awaken my love. He's had multiple singles chart, while none as high as redbone, 3005 wasnt a slouch, just missing the top 10 on the rap charts. But please, continue to think of him as a one hit wonder.


TL;DR TIL that certified platinum singles aren't considered hits.

5/9/2018 5:14:19 PM

Wikipedia one hit wonder

Oooof to the teenage movie reviews....

Felt like they didn't have enough update jokes so they needed someone to talk really slow to take up time

5/14/2018 1:34:34 PM

They didn't even bother putting a joke in this week's opener

5/20/2018 9:05:42 AM

Except the whole Sopranos thing

5/20/2018 2:38:10 PM

thats not really a joke, thats a reference

what is this, family guy?

were there laugh lines or was it just famous people getting applause?

5/20/2018 7:44:57 PM

i'm sure there were some trump/russie related jokes, but when every single cold open is about that, it does get old

5/20/2018 8:20:10 PM

cold opens have almost always dealt with current events

only difference now is the reliance on stunt casting

5/20/2018 8:56:47 PM

Tina Fey looked good in a pushup braw

5/20/2018 9:08:52 PM

"current events" doesn't have to be Trump-related every single episode

5/20/2018 9:54:52 PM

it hasn’t been every single episode

and he and the and awfulness that surrounds him on a daily basis dominate current events, so of course that’s what’s going to open most shows

there are better ways to address such events than with stunt casting week after week, though

Melissa Villasenor with a solid episode this week. She’s gotten so much better this season.
