    what defines his art being "enough" though?

    you liking it? critics loving it? universally praised?

    i feel like as long as he's proud of his work and believes it is next level, then he can yap about it all he wants.

    ur gonna disagree with me but personally I think we should bring back some of the critical lens of the blog era.

    I don’t think they should be the arbiters of taste, but I do think it’s better than just rote sales/streaming numbers becoming the defining signifier for their artistic merit

    I mean did you watch the performance? Do you believe that every movement was intentional?

    It’s okay to call people out for having no taste and then backpedaling. He should be able to back up some of what he’s saying

    Rightfully called out the bulk of underground rap fans who use artists as fashion accessories and move on to the trendier artist when it's cool to listen to

    This would be pretentious if he was wrong

  • hes hurt

    if he was really him he would just rock that s*** and eat the hate

    but instead it consumes him

    he lost. GG. his gimmick was never that cool anyway. this aint 2016 tumblr days anymore broski

    i only watched clips on twitter and then i saw him perform live in chicago. it was a cool show despite me getting there hella late lol

    i dont know him so i honestly dont know if every move of his performance is intentional or not. he has been apologizing a lot recently for his performances so maybe he does have an intended performance he would like to execute but keeps running into hurdles. idk.

    sometimes i think he has a grander vision for things and will eventually get there. i think back to that leaked IG chat which illustrates that he is an intentional with his work.

    I'm in no mood to entertain the delusions of one of the endless stream of Melzcore nonsense artists that music critics see fit to shrug at and say 'Well, the kids seem to like it!'

  • now in all fairness his statement makes more sense when you consider he's talking to "ug" fans

    He isn’t Melzcore at all

  • I actually agree with some of what he is saying but in no universe is he the artist that gets to say it lol

  • If his album is hard this statement will be legendary though

    Idk man I think it’s okay that he’s a kid figuring his s*** out. He probably had a lot to say but his execution isn’t there yet and I’m not gonna pretend that it’s all thought out when it clearly isn’t.

    Forgive me if I’m wrong but it feels like you’re saying him being off beat and awkward on stage is some 4d level chess move and I personally just don’t think it is

  • Like imagine yourself in that situation where you get harshly criticized for a performance and then immediately start tweeting that people just don’t get it…

    It’d be pretty corny right?

    Also just spitballing here but maybe it would be nice for the artists we f*** with to be innovative outside the box thinkers than just like.

    Doing the same genre constraints over and over again

    Music is d e a d

    Country music is the same recycled Florida Georgia Line crap
    KPop
    RnB hasn't really had a moment in a hot minute
    Underground rap is either some post-Rage warble or drumless spoken word lethargic raps

    im exaggerating all the way

    No I’m saying he has a vision and he’s failing to execute so he’s apologizing for it

    I think he’s gonna put all the pieces together after this whole experience
