Jacob Collier is the musical equivalent of a painter who studied at the best ateliers and knows all the perfect techniques but then uses all this skill to do weird self portraits, repaints of current marvel movie posters and generic art exercises that function only to impress other painters.
@@nomesobrenome4092 He's playing towards the ends of the curve. It's like the meme with the IQ distribution where the geniuses and retards agree but the middle section in the average range have a different opinion. In this case someone who knows nothing of music sees Jacob and thinks "Waoh music man knows notes" The advance musician says "Wow he used a deceptive cadence and resolved a (F#7-5(+9 b13th) chord" and the average to above average music enthusiast would think "Wow he is overrated and sounds like AI". I just don't like his voice and thinks he has bad taste (he is a genius at musicology though).
jacob collier is jazz for people who don't care about jazz. that's why i hate him. he parades himself as the next duke ellington, and it's so obnoxious. all style, no substance. it's so nice to see other people hating jacob collier just like i do.
I’m not a Collier enthusiast, but there’s definitely substance for anyone interested in jazz. He’s very deliberate with his harmony, inner movement, voice-leading and resolution. For me, the turn offs are mostly in the arrangements. I get why people don’t connect with his music, but genuinely speaking the pure expression of real hate coming through from mostly young adults seems to me like an incapability to deal with conflicting psycho-social factors.
@inthem8riZ_ Why do you promote hate? It's ok to dislike Jacob's music, but hating Jacob? It just reveals your ugliness. Hate is corrosive. Look at what hate has done to this triggered, jealous asshole who took the time to make this bitch fest about Jacob. 😄 I would think the dude would have something better to do, like huff paint thinner. But, you see, that's what hate does. It corrodes. It certainly has corroded this guy. Hate is such a strong, negative emotion, and sadly, it's thrown around by so many people these days. According to younger people, one either loves something or hates it. It's a world of extremes. Whether you like him or not, Jacob is a very creative dude -- vastly more so than most people.
dude's music is like AI generated. it has everything that he want to be there, except cohesion. all data he have was shoehorned in one piece. that's why it feels soulless.
I do not hate him but I definitely hate his music and he's a bit pompous but he seems like a nice enough guy his style just isn't for me but he's definitely talented
thank you for being mature about this, people are saying his music is not music because THEY don't like it. they're as bad as they say jacob's community is.
@@thomaspearson2756 you actually responded to a year old comment? lol, but i do agree with you. the pompous part, not really, cause i've seen a lot of jacob's stuff and he seems like a really nice and patient guy in general.
Yeah I think it was unfair for me to say pompous there's just something that bothers me about the way he interacts with people and maybe that's something that's my thing but either way he doesn't deserve all the hate and he's talented but not for me
Those bright shiny positive quotes really get to me…like he’s never had to suffer depression or anything really crippling, like the guy who has it all. Even the so called “humility.” Ughhhhhhh
He is one of those cases where the public have been convinced he's the best thing since sliced bread .The truth is he butchers all the great musicians songs , like for instance Freddy Mercury , and Colliers fans say his version is better than the original 🤔
I tried giving him a chance. I listened to like 5 different songs, and got so frustrated listening to each one. His songs don’t go anywhere or emote anything. They’re just pure chaos. There is nothing to feel from his music but anxiety…I could rant on about this forever, but that’s the best way I can sum it up.
5?! LOL! Sounds to me like you're pretty fragile if you get anxiety because you can't distinguish between complexity and chaos. Nothing to feel? Then you are just pathetic. His latest also has lots of heart. Maybe you don't. ruclips.net/video/IQvzX0Z3HE4/видео.html
Buddy wtf? He only plays what he likes and you guys get upset for some reason. This ALMOST sounds like envy, but I'll never know for sure. I don't understand why the "I don't like his sound" turns into "ERRM SOULESS... He knows a lot but has nothing to say" when it comes to him💀💀
Nah, you're not the single person who dislikes his music, my problem with it is that it seems faint in motives, not in technique, but in the ability of those techniques to do what music of someone like Bethoven did and still can do even after over 245 years after his life, which is, to take you into the mind of the composer, his music touched your heart and the very essence of your soul while, in Collier's case, that's inexistent, combine that with random ways of inflexing and decoration on top and you obtain something that yeah, it's not exactly crap, but it doesn't have the strenght to be what we can truly call magnificent, soul moving music, something that reaches to the very bottom of your being
I would disagree. 'soul moving' music is different for every single person. lot's of people have felt moved by his arrangements. just look at the comments on his arrangement of moon river or the Christmas song. also you should listen to him talk about harmony - emotion is what drives his harmonic decisions. he never stops talking about it.
@@JohnHaslamMusic I think he’s good, but his fans sing his praises as if he were Bach himself. It’s too much. He fell into the classic trap of obsessing over theory but never really developing a sense of touch and restraint. You’re right, he does have a lot of fans who enjoy his music. But objectively forgettable radio tunes also have mass appeal, reach way more people who fanboy over it, but nobody who’s deep into music is gonna act like it’s better than their favorite composer, because it’s not. This is a discussion between musicians, not casual listeners. The casual listeners don’t know what they don’t know. Is that fine? Yes, he’s allowed to make the music he wants to make and his demographic is allowed to enjoy it. Nothing wrong there. But we are also allowed to have our personal opinions from the other side about Jacob’s music. And what we think is that it’s lacking emotional maturity, it’s overly calculated, it’s gaudy, it’s hamfisted, and above all its not the greatest thing since sliced bread. Jacob definitely has good technique, but his writing is his greatest weakness. I wouldn’t even say that he’s not great, I just think he’s very clearly nowhere near the greatest living musician. There are plenty of classical and jazz musicians that are far better that get less attention. And that’s fine, that’s how it goes and there’s nothing wrong with that, but they’re still better.
@@HieronymousLex I completely disagree that jacob’s music lacks emotional maturity. Not everyone comprehends emotional maturity in the same way. Listen to him talk about how he makes harmonic decisions, and then come back to me about emotional maturity. You don’t like it, and that’s fine. But there’s no point criticising it in some objective way because not everyone will agree with you.
@@JohnHaslamMusic That's not the point of a critic, the point of a critic is to put into question a certain topic if you don't agree with it, and that's exactly what these comments do (not the video tho lol), he has a valid question, why is Jacob Collier's music so empty, soulless and boring when he's so musically intelligent? Well… maybe because it doesn't matter. Hell, even the Beatles, the most famous band of all times didn't know a single bit of music theory and I'd still rather listen Love Me Do on a loop for the rest of my life than to hear a single Jacob Collier song with its "quirkiness and intricacies". As the comment above mentioned, he's not Bach, and I'll add that he's more like Schoenberg, trying to create something new that's not really good and in fact quite harmful.
Pretty sure music is just melody, harmony, and rhythm in combination. By definition it's music. I neither dislike it or like it. He goes everywhere and doesn't stick to any theme. His best stuff was when he harmonized others but that's just cuz the people he was harmonizing stayed in a general theme.
The problem is, not that he throws a bunch of stuff in his music, its this: music is like baking a cake, and ingredients are your musical techniques. You can make a cake with incredible decoration, and it will still taste good, but if you only use decoration, even if its all done to 5 star quality, the cake will suck because you forgot the cake stuff. The cake is what makes the icing, and garnishes taste good. Music is the same way. If you don't have the cake, the decorations have no place, they are just randomly dropped on the table. Jacob collier does this with his music where some of the ideas are interesting, but there's no cake, so there's nothing to ground the decorations.
@nayber2352 not at all. Although rick and morty is top tier. It's more like saying "you need to understand musical colour and the psychological connections between specific chord sets and emotions. How certain cadences affect the listeners emotion and how that when combined with highly precise music theory can lead to a roller coaster. I get It's not everyone's thing. But you can't just outright say he's bad cos he is more skilled and innovative than most.
His parents are musicians. I am guessing he lacked natural talent but simply did as his parents did for a long time and now thinks he must be a musical talent because of academia and quantity of output, rather than creativity and sophistication. He cannot even be considered jazz in the most rudimentary of evaluations, yet the media touts him as a jazz prodigy to this day .
I make better music than this overrated Jacob who just shows off his sub par musishian skills and gets free Grammy I don't get why he's more famous that whatever any normal musician does Well anyway I think I just proved m y point and my videos further backs it ruclips.net/video/TaiYl__0VqE/видео.html
@@MazBringsby yeah you can tell he doesn't know what tf to do with extensions and doesn't know jazz theory because he literally just adds everything till it's mush. It's like if there was a cook who added every spice known on the planet to every dish and made every single one the same because of it despite what foods were cooked with it, and everyone just says it's so sophisticated because of it but "oh you just don't get the brilliance of Jacob Collier bro, he's too sophisticated for you, and just leave him alone he's just a happy guy who is happy playing music can't you see he's just happy bro???!!!!!!1"
The universe has spared me JC until about 30mins ago on Scott's Bass Lessons, but it didn't have him playing. So I looked him up and he did a live version of Close to You be The Carpenters. Oh God he's atrocious. He absolutely sucks the life out of classic tunes. He's no fucking bassist neither - he doesn't understand the instrument, or any, for that matter.
"good" in music is subjective, i like it, and so do millions of others, and we all think it's astounding what jacob is capable of. your opinion doesn't define music.
you sound like a baby right now. your opinion regarding anything doesn't define what it actually is. music, especially in this case, is subjective. i like his music, and so do millions of others. grow up.
is what it is man, always going to be people with insane jealousy for someone who has been lucky enough and good enough to be able to make a lot of money of off something they love to do. dude is literally just playing some piano, the projected insecurities are very obvious when you talk about a subjective thing as if it is fact. Something that you think is "boring" shouldn't automatically not be allowed any kind of success you are clearly just not into jazz fusion and thats all there is to it. Jacobs personality and stage presence are a different story and I could see why you might be apprehensive or irritated by it, however he is probably more than twice the musician you and I are, therefore there is a lot of stuff you can learn from listening to him. If you can get over the way he talks I guess.

Lol, try to watch all the Jacob Collier hate videos….maybe because all these people sound like they are?- in the sense that they don’t actually have a point besides saying that Jacob and whoever likes him is just brainwashed into liking him and Jacob just wants to flex….like wwhat???
never heard of that, but what i can say is that you don't like jacob because of your taste in music. i personally do like him and his music a lot, but that doesn't mean that i'm "brainwashed". i just like how it sounds. your opinion doesn't define music, and i wish people would stop objectifying it...
I thought my distaste for Jacob was about the marketing he has or out of jealousy, but... no. as of this writing, i'm listening to "In My Room" and I can say that his music is nor groundbreaking, neither innovative. he doesn't sound like the genius people paint him as. he's just a musician who's making his own approach. just that. to be honest, the only thing that is repelling me from liking him is that his music is the type you can hear on the radio and just bob your head to it. it sounds too mainstream, too relatable, too... marketable.
LOL! That was an album of covers mostly done with microphone during the pandemic but even in that context the harmonies are far more complex and dazzling which is maybe why he won Grammys for it. But sure, a moron like you can judge a guy who has 5 Grammys before he's 30. LOL!
Its nice to have a place like this, where weirdos can stay to hate on people. Lets keep them here untill they find something better to spend their time on..
Glad it's not just me. You forgot his most egregious sin: All that technical ability, all that skill and head knowledge of music, and yet his songs don't have an ounce of soul - they never give you the goosepimples...for someone so many musicians purportedly have a hard-on for, I can't see the appeal. I guess he's the musical equivalent to an impressive athlete. I mean, way to go or something?
Well, to be fair i understand perhaps 5% of how this guy feels. I thought that piano improv was amazing, but when the guy in the background said "that's the best piano I ever heard" I did cringe a little bit.
"The guy in the background" is Jacob Collier, and he is referring to the sound of the piano plug-in. It is not an acoustic instrument but a digital one. He is complimenting the designers.
His music is really soulless and has no emotion. He only knows about music theory and techniques, but I think he doesn't experience such emotion in his music. Every time I see his video, he always tries to reharmonize everything by pressing random notes and harmonizing them. I think he will just be a good musician coach, not a singer.
He reminds me of those pompous "jazz musicians" who will take a song like "Jingle Bells" and play completely different chords, totally different progression entirely but will still sing the lyrics over it, like "Aren't I impressive? I took a song you knew and played it wrong!" lol
LOL! Random! Such ignorance! He's not going to be a coach to anybody, ya maroooon. He's doing an international, often with full orchestras backing him now. The soulless comment is especially ignorant. His latest release which is as heartfelt as many other of his songs: ruclips.net/video/IQvzX0Z3HE4/видео.html
It's like when a person with really good looks has poor acting skills and insists on appearing in movies giving awkward performances because he has never had to learn certain emotions, so he can't convey them. Jacob Collier has no emotional or veritable artistic merit. Just a bunch of technical, nerdy noise.
He's privileged and maybe a bit naive but so what? Not any more than any other suburban kid. Genius happens there too and if think f#m7 even begins to capture his harmonic complexities then you know as little about chords as you do music in general.

He has raw talent, sure, but I have yet to see anyone as unbearably obnoxious as he is. I’m sure he’s a nice guy but man I cannot stand watching anything on RUclips that involves him in any way. George Collier had good videos though.
I don't understand why the hate on him is so insane... Sometimes disguised as aggressive passivity. I mean, if you don't like his sound, whats the problem? Opinions are different, right? But people try SO hard to hate him that it seems like there's something behind the "erm soulless" thing.
Definitely a few chord and key changes in there that felt like this was beating a dead horse but maybe it's just dabbling on piano not to be taken so seriously. I'm not really a fan of his work otherwise, though. It feels unnecessarily stuffed to a degree that's unpalatable even for seasoned musicians. I'm much more the "snarky puppy" type than this. There's something unmusical about his music to me.
"It doesn't take a professional chef to know that steamed horseshit doesn't taste great". Jacob might be a virtuoso at many instruments (even if he can't write a good song to save his life), but we can still critique him, even if we're not virtuosos ourselves.
@@WovenSpade I've been musically inclined for more than 20 years. Also, why do people try to make the word math plural? It isn't "maths", it's mathematics. Music isn't math, it's resonance of wave patterns with time signatures. I know harmony, and i know dissonance. I also know the meaning of musical masturbation. Just because somebody sinks 20 hours into a DAW layering vocals and lining them up with a video doesn't make them musically talented. Dedication and skill are not the same thing.
everyone can think of him what he wants and like always its a matter of taste. but some people here really hate him as a person and wish him failure and that he gets depression and shit. thats just pure sadism and sick. these people should become happy and stop putting other people down just because theyre unhappy!

You are not the first... you won't be the last. He is an amazing musician that makes terrible music.
dude i fucking love this and am so glad this video exists, thank you
Me too😂
The universe has spared me JC until about 30mins ago on Scott's Bass Lessons, but it didn't have him playing. So I looked him up and he did a live version of Close to You be The Carpenters. Oh God he's atrocious. He absolutely sucks the life out of classic tunes. He's no fucking bassist neither - he doesn't understand the instrument, or any, for that matter.
Videos like this are why I'm on the internet
Jacobs music doesn’t sound good
"good" in music is subjective, i like it, and so do millions of others, and we all think it's astounding what jacob is capable of. your opinion doesn't define music.
@@39bigmarks I disagree, I think my opinion is the end all be all
@@ant6354 i hope you're joking
@@39bigmarks I am definitely not
@@ant6354 so what if i said the music you listen to sounds bad? does that change your opinion on how you like that music? no.
The real Artist is Joey Alexander
This!
He doesnt make music, he should throw a Masterclass on how to ruin music.
you sound like a baby right now. your opinion regarding anything doesn't define what it actually is. music, especially in this case, is subjective. i like his music, and so do millions of others. grow up.
the universe needs balance
you look jacob with the most jealousy ive seen
Like Jacob or not, this video is pure cringe. Literally the worst thing I have ever seen.
you didn’t get it?
You have shitty taste in music, my friend.
seethe
is what it is man, always going to be people with insane jealousy for someone who has been lucky enough and good enough to be able to make a lot of money of off something they love to do.
dude is literally just playing some piano, the projected insecurities are very obvious when you talk about a subjective thing as if it is fact. Something that you think is "boring" shouldn't automatically not be allowed any kind of success you are clearly just not into jazz fusion and thats all there is to it.
Jacobs personality and stage presence are a different story and I could see why you might be apprehensive or irritated by it, however he is probably more than twice the musician you and I are, therefore there is a lot of stuff you can learn from listening to him. If you can get over the way he talks I guess.
*Iconic review*
I make better music than this overrated Jacob who just shows off his sub par musishian skills and gets free Grammy
I don't get why he's more famous that whatever any normal musician does
Well anyway I think I just proved my point and my videos further backs it

Jacob Collier fans all sound like 8 year old girls. "You don't like Jacob 'cause you're just jealous.
Lol, try to watch all the Jacob Collier hate videos….maybe because all these people sound like they are?- in the sense that they don’t actually have a point besides saying that Jacob and whoever likes him is just brainwashed into liking him and Jacob just wants to flex….like wwhat???
such a childish interpretation of differing opinion. I can feel the insecurity radiate from this message
never heard of that, but what i can say is that you don't like jacob because of your taste in music. i personally do like him and his music a lot, but that doesn't mean that i'm "brainwashed". i just like how it sounds. your opinion doesn't define music, and i wish people would stop objectifying it...
This kind of pettiness and lack of analysis sounds like little else. IT's also often a matter of pretty obvious ignorance andmusical illiteracy.
I think the only thing that let me sit through this video was that it was all going to be a joke lol
Mimicking creativity and being tapped into creativity are two different things.
best video on youtube, his fans of soulless midwits are arguably even more annoying
Jacob comes off as such arrogant person
I thought my distaste for Jacob was about the marketing he has or out of jealousy, but... no. as of this writing, i'm listening to "In My Room" and I can say that his music is nor groundbreaking, neither innovative. he doesn't sound like the genius people paint him as. he's just a musician who's making his own approach. just that.
to be honest, the only thing that is repelling me from liking him is that his music is the type you can hear on the radio and just bob your head to it. it sounds too mainstream, too relatable, too... marketable.
LOL! That was an album of covers mostly done with microphone during the pandemic but even in that context the harmonies are far more complex and dazzling which is maybe why he won Grammys for it. But sure, a moron like you can judge a guy who has 5 Grammys before he's 30. LOL!
Its nice to have a place like this, where weirdos can stay to hate on people. Lets keep them here untill they find something better to spend their time on..
Glad it's not just me. You forgot his most egregious sin: All that technical ability, all that skill and head knowledge of music, and yet his songs don't have an ounce of soul - they never give you the goosepimples...for someone so many musicians purportedly have a hard-on for, I can't see the appeal. I guess he's the musical equivalent to an impressive athlete. I mean, way to go or something?
What do you think of his new album?
Shimmering sparkly harmonious void.@@bittripboy
Omg this reaction is hilarious!!! Lol love it
Made my day dude ! So funny :)
Well, to be fair i understand perhaps 5% of how this guy feels. I thought that piano improv was amazing, but when the guy in the background said "that's the best piano I ever heard" I did cringe a little bit.
"The guy in the background" is Jacob Collier, and he is referring to the sound of the piano plug-in. It is not an acoustic instrument but a digital one. He is complimenting the designers.
Jacob Collier is the cockroach of music
His music is really soulless and has no emotion. He only knows about music theory and techniques, but I think he doesn't experience such emotion in his music. Every time I see his video, he always tries to reharmonize everything by pressing random notes and harmonizing them. I think he will just be a good musician coach, not a singer.
That’s how I always felt about it, but everyone has their taste and style I guess. I can’t deny that he is very skilled though.
He reminds me of those pompous "jazz musicians" who will take a song like "Jingle Bells" and play completely different chords, totally different progression entirely but will still sing the lyrics over it, like "Aren't I impressive? I took a song you knew and played it wrong!" lol
LOL! Random! Such ignorance! He's not going to be a coach to anybody, ya maroooon. He's doing an international, often with full orchestras backing him now. The soulless comment is especially ignorant. His latest release which is as heartfelt as many other of his songs:

I wake up with this thought every day
I dont know you but i agree jacob is like priviledged child that doesnt know shit how hard life is and hes like i can do that in f#m7
It's like when a person with really good looks has poor acting skills and insists on appearing in movies giving awkward performances because he has never had to learn certain emotions, so he can't convey them.
Jacob Collier has no emotional or veritable artistic merit. Just a bunch of technical, nerdy noise.
@@MazBringsby which is sorta the point?
@@play3r.wav. The point is that it *is* nerdy technical noise? Okay, good we agree.
@@AdamBorseti nerdy? yes. noise? no.
He's privileged and maybe a bit naive but so what? Not any more than any other suburban kid. Genius happens there too and if think f#m7 even begins to capture his harmonic complexities then you know as little about chords as you do music in general.
Jacob Collier is truly talented but his own music is like a RUclips polyglot flexing different languages.
Ironically that was meaningless gobbledygook.
Idk what i just watched but I feel enlightened
does anyone know if this video was made unironically? lmao
As a musician and Jacob fan, this is hilarious!!!
U cannot be both💀💀💀
@@ThePoetRobin Can't be both what?
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS HAD TO BE SAID
I make better music than this overrated Jacob who just shows off his sub par musishian skills and gets free Grammy

His music SUCKS
He has raw talent, sure, but I have yet to see anyone as unbearably obnoxious as he is. I’m sure he’s a nice guy but man I cannot stand watching anything on RUclips that involves him in any way. George Collier had good videos though.
He can obviously play well but his music sucks and hes so annoying
This is an fully grown adult throwing a jealous tantrum. lol
I don't understand why the hate on him is so insane... Sometimes disguised as aggressive passivity.
I mean, if you don't like his sound, whats the problem? Opinions are different, right?
But people try SO hard to hate him that it seems like there's something behind the "erm soulless" thing.
We all kinda feel that too... let's be honest xD
...no?
I was waiting for the part where he explained why....but it never really happened lol
The music speaks for itself
@@eddiedevriesz hating his music is one thing. This guy is another. Just a talent less douchebag complaining
You are the genius, (not Jacob)… this is hilarious! 😂🤣
I don’t understand the obsession. It’s not great
So much talent for making so much nonsense
haa haa! Cruise ship pianist with no blues feel or sass...nice one for having the balls mate.
francis of the filth vibes
So, what are you trying to tell us? Hysterical. Feel better knowing other people agree.
he is okay
Such a mood
You make my day 🤣🤗❤️
In fact, I feel same way. Jakob is The bigest music crap wrapped in The best paper, his music is soul-less😌
listen to his "moon river" arrangement. that might change your opinion.
Definitely a few chord and key changes in there that felt like this was beating a dead horse but maybe it's just dabbling on piano not to be taken so seriously.
I'm not really a fan of his work otherwise, though. It feels unnecessarily stuffed to a degree that's unpalatable even for seasoned musicians. I'm much more the "snarky puppy" type than this.
There's something unmusical about his music to me.
I do get an icky feeling when I see/hear Jacob Collier. But this guy's criticism is low IQ.
Guys, it might be just a guess but I think he doesn't like Jacob Collier
His music is like tiktok shorts
based video of the month, make more
If you think you are so much better than him, than go on. play us a song. play this exact one. give us an amazing performance.
"It doesn't take a professional chef to know that steamed horseshit doesn't taste great". Jacob might be a virtuoso at many instruments (even if he can't write a good song to save his life), but we can still critique him, even if we're not virtuosos ourselves.
This is so good 😂😂 fucking love both of you!
Just because you know the theory doesnt make you great! Why oh why does he sing omg......... Not a fan.
His piano playing is decent, but his music is trash. Sounds like laying an arm across the piano
Your comment is also shit.
his music isnt trash because unfortunately. music is basically maths, and its textbook good music. its just not your thing and thats absolutely fine
@@WovenSpade I've been musically inclined for more than 20 years. Also, why do people try to make the word math plural? It isn't "maths", it's mathematics. Music isn't math, it's resonance of wave patterns with time signatures. I know harmony, and i know dissonance. I also know the meaning of musical masturbation. Just because somebody sinks 20 hours into a DAW layering vocals and lining them up with a video doesn't make them musically talented. Dedication and skill are not the same thing.
@@michealray4895 what the fuck are you saying
@@franekorganek4181 can you not read? You wrote that sentence yet cannot read? Are you some new kind of stupid?
his music is absolute garbage, all theory and no feeling
Thank you !
I think he is overrated and long winded. He also does mostly covers. Boringly.
absolutely based
This is the funniest shit 😂
I agree some of his works doesn't have much feel but his music is definitely interesting.😃
It's trash.
@@MazBringsby stfu you'll never be as good as him fucking get over it
@liquid duck colliers music sounds exactly like wallpaper
@@MazBringsby opinions _exist_
A piece of shit with a twig in it is also interesting.
U have good point and good persona bro. Lil feeling of Frank’s sacarism
Congratulations on 13k viewers
Im sorry, he's what... A benis?
everyone can think of him what he wants and like always its a matter of taste. but some people here really hate him as a person and wish him failure and that he gets depression and shit. thats just pure sadism and sick. these people should become happy and stop putting other people down just because theyre unhappy!
"He's such a fuckn peanuts" he says while being hungry.
Bro, que energy you use in this, you could use it making music. This is sad
i've heard he's some kind of genius, but i didn't find any track i would love. it's always boring "harmonizing" shit
It's like I know I should respect his talent. But he makes me hate music. Thanks for making this video.
