Suge Knight and Jay-Z, again, are not, “one and the same.” One was a violent criminal-entrepreneur and the other is an artist-entrepreneur. It’s sad to me that someone would issue such a blanket condemnation of rap/hip-hop “culture,” (whatever that means) then have the arrogance to call this opinion a “true statement” as if it were an immutable fact, especially when they show how little they actually know about the subject. |
It never fails, the 1st person to bring up gender and/or race as “the reason” others do not like something will never understand they are actually… racist 😄 I don’t like her music. Actually, I think it’s pretty bad. And honestly, what was the real reason for “announcing” she has a new album on this forum? 🤔😉
Oh, and for the 7/12/1979 reference - I still enjoy disco. The world would be a much better place if Hammer hadn’t been replaced … |
I don't listen to any pop music really, and although I think Beyonce is beautiful and talented I fail to see what the point of gushing about her (or discussing her at all) on this forum is all about. Would we have missed this extremely hyped release somehow? The horse pic...ridiculous...but everywhere...I've worked with enough unpopular brilliant musicians to cringe when the hype wheel rolls around to another zillionaire getting press for overproduced silliness. |
@onhwy61 and @hifiguy42, you guys absolutely laid it out there. Haters be hatin’! I love and really appreciate Beyoncé’s artistry, vision, and incredible talent. She’s an extremely special person. And jealousy is a thing. Unfortunately now on social media some folks have found a safe space to rip everything and everyone they don’t like because I guess that’s what they need in their lives. Flat earthers, cable deniers, Capitol tourists. They’re all pissed and full of grievances that only they can comprehend. My dad always used to say if you ain’t got nothin good to share then keep it to yourself. |
@adasdad There is a contagion in this society with necessity to publish any and all dislikes, hatreds to the point it becomes impulse. Symptom of culture of complaint, 24/7, 365 celebration of Festivus.
All this grievance sometimes makes me want to go back to 'sunshine pop' days and listen to some Partridge Family, Archies, Cowsills, Free Design. So now lets hear some hate for these bands and music.
Don't like this, how about some psychedelia, oops, we got hatred for this.
How about some Glenn Gould, Art Blakey or Metallica, oh some more hate on the way.
And how about the Eagles, now everyone loves the Eagles, don't they? |

Thank you .....thylermunns and larsman as it appears that I hit the bulls eye ! I could have predicted expected these types of responses. You can continue to defend that genre of noise that is your prerogative and I will continue to tell I find very little talent there although you have concluded I know very little about the subject and you taken my '' tongue in check '' responses literally. I know who they are as was around during the East Coast -West Coast Feud and what happened as a result of that and the loss of a person ( maybe two ) who were and had talent ; TuPac and possibly Biggie......liked their stuff. I will continue to say the Beyonce is okay but I do not think that she is belongs on the '' mountain '' she and the promoters have put her on. Now, if you excuse me I will go listen to some music that maybe you can take a page out of both of your responses and expand your musical domain .......might mellow you guys out a little. |
