Lmaoooo math does reaction videos now? That’s funny. I think I said this to you before but it’s crazy that out of all times, it felt like battle rap was gonna really take off during the pandemic. Battle rap seemingly took a nose dive after the world opened back up
Apr 30·1 replyBob Dylan?
His song writing is cool. I’ll give him that. But vocals??? Hell naw
Apr 30·1 replyElric
ive heard this "Bowie cant sing" before and its really confusing
in my opinion his voices straddles that line he just vocalizes in a way that’s effortlessly funky even sometimes when he’s crooning it sounds peculiar like it shouldn’t work, I don’t think he cant sing at all tho it’s somewhere in the mean lol

RCLampDo you agree?
https://consequence.net/list/the-100-best-vocalists-of-all-time
“There are singers, and there are vocalists. The best vocalists don’t rest on natural gifts, but instead use their creativity and vision to push their instruments where no one else could go. From Freddie Mercury’s range and Aretha Franklin’s swagger to Kendrick Lamar’s goblin tones and Tom Waits’ mad experiments, we celebrate vocalists the way we celebrated our favorite guitarists, bassists, and drummers: personality first.
To generate our list of the top 100 vocalists of all time, we polled over 50 musicians, including Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of ’26er Steve Stevens, rising stars like Samia, Blondshell, and Kneecap, and established icons Randy Blythe, Mike Patton, and Linda Perry, plus many more. After we assembled the surveys into the spine of the list, our staff chimed in with more picks, mostly historical, to round things out. The final ranking is a curated perspective on the hundreds of names that were nominated.”
