So many names that not all of mine are listed...I'm so cool.
Mac Miller>All of your lives
Honestly, I can see why people see it as them glorifying such things but Tyler himself looks at it from more of a movie writer approach. He writes songs about Rape and Murder, channeling serial killers and telling stories as if he was them. He's really just a kid with an interest in things most find to be unacceptable. He promotes rape, misogyny and such not to ACTUALLY promote those things but instead he claims its to send a message of doing whatever makes you happy. I agree with this completely. Well said. People support his lyrical content because people relate to it. If you've never thought of committing a serious crime, killing yourself, and wanted to take out your anger on someone in a harsh way then congratulations to you. But Tyler and his group make a type of music that appeals to people who have all probably thought of the things he mentions before and the fact that he raps about them is appealing because none of us will ever do it, but at least someone gives us something to relate to. It's a form of art the same way that Horror films are, accept with a bit of a role reversal. Instead of relating to the victims and good guys, we relate to the "villians" of society. And as for the word ******. The word has evolved. It's like saying brother, or friend, or person. We took a word used to degrade and offend us and made it something completely new. That's nothing to cringe at, that is something everyone should take pride in, no matter what your race. I say people should be happy that the people that word was used against have gotten past it and made it something relatively more positive.
I'm not talking about swearing, I'm focusing more on the actually content. Read the quotes that I had in spoilers. They're almost all about rape or murder or against religion. I agree with this. Tyler has yet to come out and call a gay person a ******. The DJ in the group is actually a lesbian and they have homosexual fans and he's said many times that he doesn't have an issue with gays. Their entire group has said many times that their lyrics are entertainments, but some people will never let go of their views on what is and isn't appropriate to entertain yourself with. But then again, they sometimes do say a lot of those things just to be offensive. But it's only because they know they'll get a reaction. It's like kids picking on each other in high school, which is fitting since most of their group is fresh out of high school. Good philosophy. If only people lived by this.
Please explain how Over by Drake fits into this category. Also, this music is mostly listened to by kids and young adults. Like early teens to mid twenties. There's even kids that are like 12-13 in the group.
Specifically I'm thinking of a single group of artists here. A Group by the name of Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. I'm sure if you saw the VMAs you know of their leader, Tyler, The Creator. Well there's about 8 more of them. 60 more actually, but only 8 that do music. Most of them are just as foul mouthed and offensive as he is. I want to know how you, the people of KHV feel about these types of lyrics and the message they send. If you've never heard any of their music, I have some examples. WARNING: EXTREMELY FOUL LANGUAGE WILL FOLLOW [video=youtube;1TQ_zhK6SsU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TQ_zhK6SsU[/video] First is the obvious song their leader is known for, Yonkers. Here are a few quotes: Spoiler "Jesus called and said he's sick of the disses, I told him to quit bitching, this isn't a fucking hot line" Spoiler "Fuck her, Wolf Haley robbing them, I'll crash that fucking airplane that ****** ***** Bob is in a stab Bruno Mars in his god damn esophagus and won't stop until the cops come in" [video=youtube;u6Py7wxBVbs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6Py7wxBVbs&feature=related[/video] Spoiler "I'm not a rapper, or a rapist or a racist; I fuck bitches with no permission and tend to hate shit" Spoiler "Victim, victim, honey you're my fifth one. Honey on that topping when I stuff you in my system. Rape a pregnant bitch and tell my friends I had a threesome, If you've got a fucking death wish I'm a genie it'll get done" [video=youtube;UGBlnCbFy38]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGBlnCbFy38[/video] Spoiler "Shoot that *****, make sure he dead. Shoot that *****, aim for his head. Kill that bitch and steal her purse. Call everybody in her phone if that motherfucker work" [video=youtube;Re-iKOvz8LI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re-iKOvz8LI[/video] Spoiler "Three seconds it takes for her to turn blue with my hands around her throat, her arms stop moving, pulse stops, two in the back look confused as turn to tell em both not to do shit stupid" And there's plenty more. Enough people enjoy this very sensitive content to make these guys as famous as they are right now. They're getting a TV show on Adult Swim next year. But there are also enough people that there have been protesters at their shows before. The LGBT community especially is against them because of their lyrics, and the word "******" and it's variations being used 213 times on Tyler's sophomore album. He says he has no problem with gays and argues that ****** is what teenagers say these days to mean stupid or just to offend someone else, and it has nothing to do with sexuality(Which is very true) and there's many more little things like that I could mention here. So KHV, how do you feel about such choice of lyrics? Should something so offensive be publicized and praised so much? Should it be shut down and censored? Or should this group of relatively young people be allowed to exorcise their right to free speech? CLARIFICATION: I'm not talking about swearing, I'm referring to the numerous references to kidnapping, rape, murder, drug usage, criminal activity, misogyny, anti-religion, percieved mocking of homosexuality and encouragement of such things.
Will do, and go right ahead bro!
ComPL3xX is my stage name haha Wolf Haley is actually already taken.
That's the plan, but it's much easier said than done. I'm working on it though.
If all goes as planned I should have a good amount of music to release as soon as next sunday.
Life. Just life. So many things in life to get inspiration from that I couldn't really go into detail or just pick one.
Thank you very much. I really put a lot of work into them so it makes me happy to hear people like them :D
That's pretty ****ing sexy and I may just buy it for myself.
You guys show up at comic-con every year. We basically have our own comic-con. And a ride at Disney. Star Wars fan in case you didn't get the memo.
Sucks. Also, LOST had an extremely well laid out plot. That's why time travel works. They left room for that to work. With XIII-2 I don't see that being the case.
Sounded sexy to me. Very sexy to me.
Nah Both of those games are original stories that didn't have time travel added to a sequel. Don't try to argue for Zelda, because 98% of Zelda games have no relation to the other(Like FF) and there was no game before OoT that connects directly to it. Time Travel in a sequel of any sort generally equals bad.
**** man it has to be a trick question!
And wow I say **** a lot
Holy **** it must be Christmas. I think I'm gonna try to tackle that Don't Cry beat first...****'s got a really nice vibe to it. I feel like I...
