doesnt that.. reaffirm his point?

yes this is exactly what i was talking about

what

Feel like you’re splitting hairs here because I just checked and he wrote it at 24 according to the Take Care wiki

Rocky was still thirty seven

no bc the fact that he made those songs means he’s not above making pop music, he’s acting like he’s never released anything in that ballpark

i also think he likes those songs

i brought up them being bad bc i think him & rihanna on a track again would hypothetically sound a lot better than the joints i mentioned

….none of these songs are bad lol

yea but that was well over a decade ago. he's on record expressing displeasure about how f***in problems was conceived by the label (re: bpm, drake feature, etc). and outside of white fans, i rmr the skrillex jont getting contentious reception among his own core listeners

ion think his argument is not liking the music he makes or that it wouldnt sound decent, but rather that both their fanbases have different tastes and the mix wouldn't be received well. like he said:

i would Hate rocky & rihanna if they both did that.

an astute observation about how each of their artistry is perceived; lowkey he's acc more self aware about this than we're giving him credit for. he seems to enjoy experimenting but not necessarily in a way his old stans will appreciate (see: this thread lol) or that rihanna fans even necessarily wanna hear
