What is /mu/ opinion on Filthy Frank's """serious""" music? Personally, I like the vibe but its kind of repetitive
I kinda feel for the guy
It's obvious he wants to be taken seriously as a musician but he will be forever held back by his incredibly cancerous fans
>>64544795
his fault since he enables it
>>64544795
It's not hard to post music anonymously.
>>64544835
then no one would care and he'd just be soundcloud jazz beat fuccboi #69364 with 10 followers who are all porn spambots
>>64544862
wait how do you post music anonymously and not end up like this
>>64544879
>>64544862
Oh, so you guys know the government name of every fuckwit on Bandcamp and Soundcloud?
>>64544795
Eh I don't feel bad for him he's making mad $$$ off YT and he's literally just fucking around with friends
>>64544862
This is so true, he knows this too which is why he doesn't complain about his fanbase as much as he used to, he's nothing without them
>>64544917
Don't you kind of get the feeling that he's secretly miserable, though? He posted an out-of-character vid detailing his problems with seizures and shit and his fans couldn't handle it so he had to take it down. He's stuck with this filthy frank character. Even if it's how he makes his money I think he would rather just make music you know?
>>64544940
If he wanted to stop making these videos, he totally could with little to no change in his daily life. He enjoys making the videos because they're stupid and fun and he has a bunch of edgy 14 year olds that worship him and that he gets to laugh at with his friends. If you think he's secretly miserable, you're falling for the "real joji" meme, he's not unhappy look at all his recent collabs, he's just having a good time.
>>64545050
I hope you're right. He seems like a decent guy irl
>>64544795
I used to hate him until I listened to joji. and I was like "woah, maybe this dude is actually cool and not just autism." and now I 'get' his comedy and am in laugh-happy heaven
Does he browse /mu/?
>>64545343
he used to
stopped in 2013
t. close friend
>>64545475
LOL you're a close friend?
>>64544769
anyone got a download link?
>>64545703
went to uni together
don't want to give out much info because the tards might try to stalk him
>>64545758
Theres only two songs, rip them off YT
>>64545767
Can you settle the argument of which college he goes to? It's not Harvard or NYU yes?
It's not bad. It was nice how he sampled charlie brown in one of his tracks.
>>64545310
> he did something i like so now i 'get' his stuff i didnt previously like
Go drown
>>64546134
well it wasn't immediate but it allowed me to re-approach it with a more open mind, and then it clicked not very long ago
>>64544769
Thom is a great track, rest is pretty average soundcloud-y
>>64544835
He did that as 'Chloe Burbank' or something then people found it and spammed it around :/
>>64544769
typical hip hop bullshits
>>64544795
it's the fanbase he generated
eyy, that's pretty good!

>I had an opinion but it changed due to new information/influences showing that I'm keeping an open mind
Maybe join him in the water there mate.
>>64544862
Cause making music for yourself first and foremost isn't what it's about and you all ways need attention or you're a failure huh?
Joji has been secretly producing music anonymously for many artists for years.
It's a large part of his career.
His music that he has released isn't for financial reasons as much as it is expression.
It's a lovely project, though.
>>64548669
Does your dad work for filthy frank?
>>64544769
Pretty shit
Also why the fuck wouldn't he shave his disgusting face pubes for the album art
>>64548627
well, yes
His music isnt half bad, I enjoyed it. Same with his YT channel. Except his annoying ass fans...
>>64546134
>being this closed-minded.
>>64546846
kek
>>64544769
He looks like a numale
>>64545785
I love how he is able to perpetuate the idea that he might not be based in Australia by virtue of the fact that everyone outside the country thinks we talk like Waking Fright. Dude has an occa accent
i hate his fans, you can tell even he does, his videos with ian and max they make subtle jokes about the fanbase, but when you look at his old filthy frank videos, they are pretty fucking cancerous
i hate his fans, the music is OK, like a poppier shlohmo and nujabes
>>64548627
You don't make music, do you?
>>64544795
He has fun making his videos. I really don't understand why people can't reconcile the fact that he has fun with the FF stuff and also enjoys music at the same time. There's no need to turn him into some tragic figure or whatever - he just isn't.
>>64546807
As a person who hates Daughter, this is actually pretty cute
>>64548627
haha wow naive
>>64544769
I like it. It has a nice vibe and he both raps and sings pretty good. I think he could use his rap skills more though. Also funny how he uses the ukulele the same way as in the FF joke-songs.
>>64553131
wow what an intelligent thought you had
back to /pol/
>>64544795
>he will be forever held back by his incredibly cancerous fans
Honestly how is he held back by them?
He's held back by people like you who judge him for his fans. And I'm guessing but I think you probably used to be one of them, which is why you hate yourself so much.
I have no clue about his fans or him really. Never watched a single one of his videos though of course I've seen his face. So I can listen to it just as music and it sounds like anything. Not particularly good. Not the worst. If anything the whole thing is probably enhanced by the contrast between this and him as a comedian.

>He's held back by people like you who judge him for his fans. And I'm guessing but I think you probably used to be one of them, which is why you hate yourself so much.
wew lad, not even him, but that's a pretty big statement for somebody who has an opinion on a certain internet celebrity

>You don't make music do you
Venetian Snares does:
It’s an interesting position to have as an artist.
>Of course. As soon as you release records, some person hearing it will think that this record is a product for them to enjoy, whereas that’s not my intent making it whatsoever, it’s for me while I’m creating it. I don’t know, people coming at you from that angle is kinda sickening, you know?

you do not know what successful means
I absolutely love it, it's the shit I could listen to again and again . laid back feeling is the best. any similar artists?

>>64544769
At the end of this video he talks about "serious"music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeMVDuIO3J0
I hope he makes an album with some variation on it
he'll always be known as filthy frank
>>64544769
>tfw will never do a lo fi chill indie hip hop collab with joji
why even live, lads

It was clear that he had spent thr past couple years in japan and new york. As for recent hes probably in australia/finished college.
Why the fuck is Joji posted on /mu/? I get that you fucking masturbate to Frank and stuff, but please, his shit is so over-rated by his 15 year old fans...

get outta here edge lord

>why are you posting music related content on a music board?
>>64553209
Look at both of his twitters. His filthy frank account talks about how annoying his fans are, and his personal is just music related shit. He's a cool dude and realizes the autism his fanbase has.
>>64555780
I don't think you know what it means either buddy :^)
The definition of "Success" isn't universal. People have their only interpretations of what they'd find successful
>>64544795
He hates his fanbase for asking him to do 'serious music'
Check out his rice balls video from earlier this year
>>64560604

Are you trying to say to be a "Successful musician" you need to have listeners and that all musicians share a common goal
Or do you mean that the dictionary definition of "Success" is the same
>>64561325
what was that again about bob the builder
>>64561353
I removed it as I may of misread your statement.
When I first read it I felt you were implying all musicians share a common measurement of "success"
>>64561505
oh no i wasn't that guy.
>>64561673
i mean i still aren't that guy
>>64544769
>I like the vibe but it's kinda repetitive
Yeah nailed it pretty much with that.
Joji seems cool. I'm curious about what he actually studied. It's probably something normal like engineering or medicine to have a save backup, when his online career stagnates.
