Met a guy who thought TPAB was a 6/10 Reason? He didn't like Kendricks voice on most of the tracks which is fair.....kinda Even tho he liked people with ughhh worse voices And he didn't like the lyrics on mortal man
Yo thank you for covering my hot take, After posting that comment I decided to Relisten to Radiohead’s discography. So now it’s: In Rainbows>A Moon Shaped Pool>The Bends>Ok Computer>Amnesiac>>>Kid A>Hail To The Thief Kid A has never been my favorite and I’ve always thought it was a bit overrated, not to say it’s a bad album it’s still a 7.5/10 in my eyes.
I said this on twitter and had my mentions blowing up with hate for like two days lmao Seriously though people don’t realize Kendrick is really a great singles artist
Love the shout out so let me go further into what I said: On the MJ v BM I do agree with what you say but I still think Bruno's music in 20-30 will be remembered as fondly as MJ and personally I prefer Bruno. I do agree though that MJ as a performer is probably more iconic though.
I still stand by my Modern Baseball opinion though and I genuinely think there isn't even a contest. Maybe it's personal taste but I feel like modern baseballs music encapsulates all the appeal of emo in all its facets extremely well and writes music that's so catchy it's infectious and addicting. I literally can't stop listening from the moment I heard the first song, they encapsulate the coming of age so well in a manner which is charismatic, fun yet still hits you. Their albums are all perfectly placed with 2 distinct song writers who's opposing styles create synchronise perfectly. They can be heart breaking and angsty to the core but also songs like rock bottom show the excitement that comes in this age, showing its not all bad, something most emo bands just don't do. Most emo bands can come off a bit too woe is me while modern baseball actively recognise this feeling of being super emotional and therefore their music is far better.
Also brave little abacus is ruined by their singer and title fight have every song sounding the same (except for head in the ceiling fan), guess which band doesn't have these issues
Really love your content and your community in general. I'm happy to be a part of it. And speaking of the video, one of the takes that stood out to me the most is the Peggy take as well as your take on Peggy. And while I admit it's difficult to hear how you feel about Peggy as a person and as a musician, I understand where you're coming from and even understand how you think about him. Because even with putting working with Kanye aside, being chronically online himself and him continuing to engage with fans who are chronically online like him is so overdone he needs to let that go 💀. Especially with how self-centered it makes Peggy along with his fans it'll keep changing up how he behaves with his fans along with as a person online. I do agree with your take on Lil Ugly Mane though. While I like Peggy more, both of them are goats to me. Also, one hot take I'd love to offer is that Peggy is a top 5 hip hop artist with a top 3 worst rap fanbase.
Another normal person banger, glad u fw the channel 🙏 On the Peggy take tho, i honestly kinda see where you’re coming from. He’s always kinda saying the same shit ☠ And ever since the Freddie Gibbs “beef” his lyrics about twitter have just aged like milk, hoping he stops talking about that sometime Also W lil ugly mane mention, in my eyes him and peggy are both goats
7:32 OKAY SO, I agree that I like justice a little more than daft punk, but first of all, their debut is not called "Justice", that's just how it's listed on streaming, and seconly their other music doesnt suck, it's just different! Cross ofc is their biggest hit, AVD is a little disappointing, true. Woman is actually such a good album, underrated honestly and hyperdrama is everything I ever wanted from a new Justice Album. Sorry, had to get that out of my system lol
8:52 I'd say 3 is the only contender, but I see the argument for Sekiro and Elden Ring. Sekiro's world just doesn't stick with me, and Elden Ring is extremely inconsistent. People say Dark Souls 3's world is too grey and depressing, but I think the backgrounds, linear but tight and satisfying level design, and very consistent boss quality do more than make up for that. There aren't even that many grey areas; it's more blue with a bit of piss. Look at Irithyll, The Ringed City, the High Wall of Lothric and Lothric Castle, Smouldering Lake, Archdragon Peak, etc., and tell me it's grey. Sometimes it looks cold, but not overly so. I wouldn't even say it's darker than Dark Souls 1 with The Catacombs, Undead Parish, Tomb of the Giants, or The Duke's Archives.
TPAB comment guy here. I do want to clarify that this is just personally how I feel now but It’s not set in stone really and all due respect to any opinions which differ from mine.
goldboy is indeed speaking facts, howls moving castle has some of the greatest film scores and breathtaking visuals as usual, but this is also the case with the other Miyazaki films. Spirited Away, The Wind Rises, The boy and the heron and so on has interesting concepts and substance going for them, while nothing about howl's moving castle struck a chord - it has great visuals, cute characters, a great score and nothing more
I made my comment on this video before watching it and Iolz is friends with the guy who doesn't like TPAB that much(not the one in your video but the one I made a comment on)
The TPAB take is awful and is 100% a Drake Glazer self-report [especially with the J Cole name drop]. Even ignoring the concept aspect of the album, the tracks are just fantastic stand alone - Wesley's Theory, For Free?, King Kunta, These Walls, u, Hood Politics, Alright, Momma, How Much A Dollar Cost, The Blacker The Berry, You Ain't Gotta Lie, and i are all wonderful outside the context of the album, Complexion I've softened on [Rhapsody's verse is the weakest part of the album imo, no disrespect, it just starts weak and has some awkward passages] but plenty of people still love it, Institutionalized is good just not my favorite. For Sale? and Mortal Man are the only songs I look at as being songs I would listen to only in the context of the entire album and they're still great. So you have an album with no misses on the tracklist, that covers a wide range of soundscapes, and uses those to tell an emotionally messy story. I think part of the problem is people don't listen to albums but instead make playlists. In that sense, GKMC has the catchier peaks and gets more tracks on playlists that way. Sitting down and listening to both all the way through back-to-back though, TPAB has better production, it's riskier, it's more emotional, it's more urgent, the storytelling within each song as well as track-to-track is more solid, the lyricism is more studied and layered, and it feels singular for lack of a better term. GKMC sounds like an amazing classic hip hop album, but it 'sounds like a classic' in the sense that its production evokes a specific time and place - primarily West Coast sounds of the 90s and 00s with some notes taken from trends in hip hop [Swimming Pools, B*tch, Don't Kill My Vibe] and some minor evolutions of those earlier sounds [Poetic Justice]. TPAB sounds timeless; if it came out today instead we would still say, "no one else is doing this in popular music right now". Immaculate album, best ever made thus far, still prefer [Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava; Caligula; Steve McQueen/Two Wheels Good; LP! (offline); brat] to it as albums for personal listening. It's okay to recognize something is wonderful while simultaneously enjoying other "less acclaimed" works more than it, you don't get points for being a contrarian.
Also that Howl's take is so bad. Like, why Howl's? I could understand Nausicaa or Totoro or Ponyo or Kiki or Porco [though Porco Russo is my favorite of his films, it goes so hard, I know that's personal bias speaking and people tend to rate it lower], but Howl's no chance. How do they think Howl has worse worldbuilding than Nausicaa, the movie that opens on an expo dump and continues giving expo dumps into the third act? I'm certain it's a troll, they would've said the same thing about Spirited Away if they knew it wouldn't get them doxxed and cancelled and put on a watchlist and boxed.
Personally I would rather you take longer if it means a review instead of a reaction. I prerfer hearing thought out opinions rather than on the spot pause/play reactions.
Met a guy who thought TPAB was a 6/10
Reason?
He didn't like Kendricks voice on most of the tracks which is fair.....kinda
Even tho he liked people with ughhh worse voices
And he didn't like the lyrics on mortal man
“I don’t like Kendrick because of his voice”
“Then who do you like”
“I love Carti”
@@owenisweirdo 😂he was a decently big Carti fan also lol
He crazy
Yo thank you for covering my hot take, After posting that comment I decided to Relisten to Radiohead’s discography. So now it’s:
In Rainbows>A Moon Shaped Pool>The Bends>Ok Computer>Amnesiac>>>Kid A>Hail To The Thief
Kid A has never been my favorite and I’ve always thought it was a bit overrated, not to say it’s a bad album it’s still a 7.5/10 in my eyes.
Btw I meant sleep might be objectively the best song ever made, because it does so much right in it's length. That's what I meant by that take
Steroids being better than money store is a crazy take
I said this on twitter and had my mentions blowing up with hate for like two days lmao
Seriously though people don’t realize Kendrick is really a great singles artist
Love the shout out so let me go further into what I said:

The second you said “storied career” I knew you were a fantano viewer
Dude what?! LETS FUCKING GO!
Some of these tales are Hell worthy
TPAB comment guy here. I do want to clarify that this is just personally how I feel now but It’s not set in stone really and all due respect to any opinions which differ from mine.
You’re kind of right on my Bloodborne take, Sekiro isn’t really a Souls game now that I think about it 😅
Great video as always!

Fire vid
gabotinus cooked, I'd go even further and say steroids is the BEST death grips release and its not close
Honestly bro where do you get these people?
there are no weak tracks on the bends
every song is amazing
