Because his taste is awful.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.
In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

Hi /mu/, today I'll be streaming the critically acclaimed Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven album by Kid Cudi on /mu/tant radio. It'll be the first time I listen to anything from him besides Pursuit of Happiness so I hope it's good.
Starts at 15:20 EST (in 25 mins)
Tune in: http://mutantradio.org/player
Chat with us on our IRC channel: https://mibbit.com/?channel=%23%2Fmu%2Fradio&server=irc.rizon.net

this album is long as hell
for the meanwhile i'll just play random songs until 15:20
oh man this sounds unbearable
if you guys can laugh your ass off through this whole thing, more power to you, but for me it'd stop being funny after about 10 minutes
Is it just me or does this whole album sound like Cudi attempting to be like cLOUDDEAD

I've been listening to / watching them a lot, recently, and I can't figure it out. What ethnicity are they meant to be? I mean, the blonde is clearly white, but what about the other 3? Also, if it is a multi-ethnic group, I'm surprised they're pop. I mean, usually it's a bunch of white guys, or white girls.
bizarre thing to care about homey

Anybody know what happened to Viper? His last Spotify upload was on October 25th, and his youtube channel keeps getting meme video uploads. He can't possibly be approving or watching these, but mainly why hasn't he put any new albums out? Anyone else think he finally died a la Let's Kill Viper?
haha i remember there were some bitch ass niggas trying to fuck with him on account of his videos. anybody know what happened to him?
Did Viper really lead such a ruthless life as he constantly insists he does throughout every single song he's rapped in? He is constantly talking about killing people, doing countless drugs, killing more people, and doing more drugs. But on his wikipedia it says he actually went to college, and briefly became a real estate agent (wtf?).
Is he all talk or has he actually killed many people.
Also is it me or does it seem like he actually seems very intelligent. I know every rapper who has ever lived boasts that they have the best flow or rhymes blah blah bl
ah, but it seems like viper raps about subjects with such lyricism and ease.
Is he actually a very impressive rapper compared to everyone else or is it just me?
nah no idea wht happened to that vipe character g ood luck finding out though man !
