BLACKED
>>60567766

>>60567714

holy fuck that's embarrassing
>>60567714
>james murphy collab
Pack it up everyone, Bowie is killing the AOTY 2016 running right in January
>>60567714
BLACKSTAR IS ABOUT KENDRICK
AHAH WHAT THE KEK
>>60567714
"Other songs on the album include "Girl Loves Me" (which may or may not be about ISIS" Uh, no. Blackstar is apparently about ISIS: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/the-inside-story-of-david-bowies-stunning-new-album-blackstar-20151123
>>60567714
Namedropping is pretty lame t.b.h.
>funky
>chunky
>monkey
Bowie's rhymes are weak.
I didn't actually thought he was going for the aoty but by the looks of it I was wrong.
I'm casually optimistic.
>>60567714
kendrick is a groundbreaking, genre-defining, life changing artist, whitey
I already thought Blackstar was garbage but now it's apparently even more pandering garbage than I thought
>>60567895
>kendrick is a groundbreaking, genre-defining, life changing artist, whitey
>>60567895
kendrick is black
maybe thats why bowies a blackstar wannabe now
his grandma was the lead signer fro blackstar too
Joanna Newsom and David Bowie like Kendrick Lamar
Yet here you are, hating on him because memes.
>inspired by Kendrick Lamar
well im suddenly not hyped for it anymore
>>60567817
Remember Reflektor? I try not to
>>60567849
it's not though
read the article
>>60567935
"Visconti also said they listened to "a lot" of Kendrick Lamar while working on the album. "We wound up with nothing like that,"
>>60567931
>Joanna Newsom and David Bowie like Kendrick Lamar
>Joanna Newsom
At first I was like ree, but since she's married to a jew she's been de-waifuzed.
If you can't see how great kendrick is you're a fucking moron
>>60567931
Joanna Newsom is an overrated hack.
So is David Bowie.
>>60567990
>if you dont like my opinion youre wrong
kendrick fans everyone
>>60567714
/pol/ btfo.
I wonder what buzzwords they're gonna use this time:
>White guilt!
>*pic of Bowie with the JUST hair*
>>60567990
If you think Kendrick Lamar makes great music you're a fucking teenager.
>>60567990
this is the staple argument of pro meme rappers.
This thread is exactly as cancerous as I expected it to be.
>>60568020
The music community agrees, the critics agree, the album sales agree. But I'm sure some anonymous babby knows more about music than the critics. :^)
Doesn't /mu/ usually wait until the day after an album leaks to start the hate parade?
>>60568020
>>60568036
>>60568016
itt: buttblasted white dudes
does anyone who likes hip hop not actually not like kendrick or is it all "can't spell crap without rap lol" people?
>Visconti also said they listened to "a lot" of Kendrick Lamar while working on the album. "We wound up with nothing like that, but we loved the fact Kendrick was so open-minded and he didn't do a straight-up hip-hop record,"
that's hardly an inspiration
fucking pitchfork
and if you can't see that blackstar has nothing to do with being black, you're a fucking idiot
>>60568016
>>60568020
Look, I get that Reddit no longer welcomes you, but please don't infest this board.
>>60567766
>>60567895
>>60567931
>>60567990
>>60568051
>>60568061
lol u funny huh
>>60568018
This
kendrick lamar is fucking trash
>>60568051
>sales determine quality
holy shit you're a fucking idiot
>>60568086
reddit is the biggest fucking shill for kendrick you fucking idiot
quality thread guys
The original Rolling Stone article is a lot more informative on the making of the album: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/the-inside-story-of-david-bowies-stunning-new-album-blackstar-20151123
I've already seen /pol/ take over /tv/. I'm not about to watch it take over /mu/.
>>60568066
it's those guys
daily reminder that just because kendrick is overrated does not mean he's bad
gkmc is still top 5 hip-hop albums of the decade
>>60568138
there's a difference between "LE POL MEME" and a legitimately not that great rapper being overhyped by people like >>60568051
>>60568110
Every time I see a vaguely-racist anti-rap thread on /mu/ the rhetoric is almost identical to the ramblings of redditors on Coontown.
>>60568169
>legitimately not that great rapper
>muh objective fact
>>60568138
that's coz reddit took over first
>>60568172
Man this thread is 15 minutes old and already racist and pretentious in an old /mu/ way, I love threads like these, this is l i t e r a l y why I come on thi shithole of a website.
I'm the OP btw.
>this thread
this thread is a great example of why I only skim the surface of /mu/ these days
it really has gone to shit
>>60568172
because you choose to focus on those people you fucking idiot
confirmation bias
>>60568195
not so much objective fact as "yeah there are people who legitimately do believe that he's not that great"
Why are Americans so retarded and think there is only rock or rap?
>memes liking memes
what a surprise
>>60567895
mup fidda doo whitey kill blackie
>>60568239
nah that dude's right.
Trying to have a hip-hop discussion on /mu/ is like a new form of masochism.
Sorry I'm late, guys. I was busy not flipping my shit over trivial non-issues.
FACT : Kendrick Llamar is a better singer than David Bowie.
>>60568364
HAAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAA
>>60568296
it really is
it's either "lol cuk fgt go eat more black dicks"
or "that rapper uses more than 3 syllables he aint a real nigga go listen to buckshot old skool memphis 4 life"
>>60568375
Name three (3) albums from Bowie that are better than To Pimp A Butterfly. I dare you.
kanye btfo bowie inspired by kendrick instead
>>60568420

"We wound up with nothing like that"
Thank god.

Kendrick
Nas
Faust
Kanye
Linkin Park

>>60568571
Expect hard beatings.
Nothing personal, just be prepared for the onslaught.
>>60568364
No, son. This album aint about him.
>>60567714
Based on that:
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/the-inside-story-of-david-bowies-stunning-new-album-blackstar-20151123?page=3
Its going to be amazing. Blackstar is more like of an social commentary bowieesque.
He fused genres on it, just it, he listened to some mainstream albums include TPAB.
>>60568541
Tame Imapla
Neon Indian
DIIV
Radiohead
King Kendrick of course
>>60568593
Why ? Because of Kanye ? Come on it's 2015
>>60568571
Lmao. Ok...
>>60568571
So you're 18 or 19 or younger
>>60568604
Lol
>"We were listening to a lot of Kendrick Lamar," says Visconti. "We wound up with nothing like that, but we loved the fact Kendrick was so open-minded and he didn't do a straight-up hip-hop record. He threw everything on there, and that's exactly what we wanted to do. The goal, in many, many ways, was to avoid rock & roll."
ittt mu falls for the clickbait
>>60568571
>my turn
Brian Wilson
Scott Walker
Captain Beefheart
Can
Frank Zappa
>>60568609
No because if anons think you have shit taste it's open season.
>>60568665

>>60568665
>responding to b8
>>60568664
Any excuse to break out the anti-rap/kek memes
>>60568690
>typical indie fag
uhhhh name the indie artist on my list
you're the typical KTT/HHH fag that sucks complex cocks right lol
>>60568727
Brian wilson made an album a few years ago and is published on p4k so its indie
>McCaslin and his bandmates were able to handle whatever Bowie threw at them, from Krautrock to hip-hop to pop to jazz, creating an incredible fusion sound that can't be pinned to any one genre. "They can play something at the drop of a dime," says Visconti. "[Keyboardist] Jason [Linder] was a godsend. We gave him some pretty far-out chords, but he brought a jazz sensibility to re-voice them." They cut the album on ProTools, though much of the gear was vintage. "Jason's synthesizer didn't have a computer with souped-up programs like Omnisphere on it," Visconti says. "He would just do it with guitar pedals, making all the sounds unique. We're like old school like that. Also, [bassist] Tim Lefebvre was just phenomenal to work with. He pretty much nailed every take right on the spot."
So the album is going to be a hip hop pop jazz krautrock fusion
Wow what a c.uck. Lost alot of respect for him to be honest.
This reeks of washed up rock star trying to stay relevant with the kids
>>60568750
adele, nicki minaj, taylor swift are indie then
>>60568664
This.
The people at Pitchfork are going to begin tomorrow's staff meeting laughing at the archived version of this thread.
/mu/'s always been uptight and hypersensitive but lately, it's like ya'll have no chill whatsoever.
Jesus christ this thread is terrible
I hate the mods
If I knew the identities of all the mods I would travel to each of their houses and beat the shit out of them
>>60568066
>does anyone who likes hip hop not actually not like kendrick
part of this camp. tpab was so overwrought with emotion and all around pretentious. i loved the instrumentation though.
>>60568770
the same thing was said when he worked with Trent Reznor and Ice Cube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bZalFMo4xM
>>60568770
Actually read the article you fucking mong
everyone who thinks that kendrick is good should stop posting on /mu/
>>60568066
I like hip-hop and I thought TPAB was an overindulgent mess
>>60568223
I mean, it seems like you'd fit there better so...
>>60568570
Flip Low and Heroes and you've got it.
>>60568255
literally nobody thinks this
>>60568604
Urban Outfitters thanks you for your purchases.
The Sax guy Bowie Picked up has a great album.

>>60567714
DAILY REMINDER THAT KENDRICK LAMAR IS THE ARTIST OF THE DECADE BY A DISGUSTINGLY LARGE MARGIN.
Seriously though, and i don't even like much rap.
Janelle Monae comes in second
>>60567990
>>60567931
>>60567895
What the fuck are you doing? You're trying to turn Kendrick into Kanye levels of memeatic garbage? Stop it. Kendrick doesn't deserve these meme comments
I'm kinda butthurt that they had to prune the original single down from 11 mins because of itunes T B H. >:(
>>60567955
Reflektor was bad because of the weak songwriting (plus AF has never been great, honestly) - had nothing to do with production.
People used Murphy as a scapegoat.
Fucking embarrassing.
Not Bowie, the newfags itt who couldn't read an article or detect b8 if their lives depended on it.
