Lou Reed
Young Thug
Phil Spector

Maybe for cultural relevance, but for his compositional skills? No way friend!
>>61897357
That is a ridiculous statement. He is an incredible lyricist and he enlists incredible musicians to make his vision come alive.
Just to get it out of the way.
Also, Scott Walker.
Brian Eno.
Maybe Robert Fripp.
Death Grips might be a footnote, really depends. They're pretty great and talented, but not timeless. Their sound and innovation are tied to knowledge of their times.
>>61897393
What makes his lyricism so distinguishable?
>>61897429
>Robert Fripp
I would hope so but I believe he will be overlooked.
>>61897434
He's the only rapper that doesn't rap about drugs and money
>>61897453
lol
>>61897434
They're clever use of wordplay and ability to satirize rap clichés to tell a larger social message.
Like him or not, he is a prominent figure in music history.
kanye is the only rapper from this era who will have any significant legacy
I hope
>>61897447
That's why I said maybe. I said it partially for his collaborations, partially for King Crimson, and just general musicianship. Like you said, I can see him getting overlooked. To be one of these kinds of people you have to have had a good balance of both quality and fame, which is rare to a degree to even be considered for history courses and whatnot.
On which note,
>>61897453
>>61897475
He's about three-ish full albums and errata in, and only really hit his stride and was considered "confrontational" and "artistic" and "skilled as a musician" this past year. It really depends where he goes from here and if he actually leaves a lasting fucking impact, or just fades off and nobody takes his influence. It can go either way, but frankly, with the current climate of music and our times, I can easily see him being forgotten. Easily.
>>61897530
and it sure as shit isn't going to be for the music, despite how great some of it is
>>61897316
Can someone explain the Young Thug deal?
Does /mu/ actually think he's good or is he a meme?
He seems like the kind of person they write about in books.
>>61897573
Definitely, along with Brian Eno.
>>61897572
He's the most foward-thinking rapper alive
>>61897600
Maybe in a book about Dad rock
>>61897630
Speaking of which, we'll probably get something about Roger Waters and David Gilmour, at any rate. I can see more about Syd coming up as time goes by.
>>61897623
Fuck does that even mean?
>>61897573
>>61897607
>>61897676
Lel.
top kek m8

>observatories
lol figures that you all just mention a bunch of shitty pop music if you don't even know the word conservatory
not even trolling.
>>61897854
name someone more relevant, then, anon. be the change you'd like to see.
>>61897295
Only good answer, it's already starting.
So many young jazz players site Thom as in influence.
>>61897262
meh
>61897290
no
>>61897295
big yes, thom was a real original. His compositions are one of a kind.
>>61897312
may get a mention for cultural reasons, but didn't really change music at all.
>>61897334
Yes, unfortunately. Hack
>>61897428
Probs not. Too bad, he's really great.
>>61897429
Yes, for cultural reasons.
>>61897502
yup.
>61897573
Might get a mention.
>>61897607
Eno will 100% be talked about.
>>61897814
yup, cultural reasons and maybe when referencing popular harmony in music during the 90s.
>>61897843
lol no
>>61897924
meh probs not
>>61899030
>"cultural reasons"
>>61899030
>Kanye didn't change music
Flat out lie
>>61897872
