Meme music is broad. Music can be considered meme music if memes help propel it to the top. Death Grips is considered meme music but there’s a lot of effort put into their music, whether it sounds good to the listener or not. Memes definitely helped Tyler’s success so he’s in the category of good meme music where it’s not ironically good but it’s still got enough material to meme from. MBDTF can be considered meme music to some people.

He didn’t say it for them but they ended up getting meme’d. Whether you like it or not they’re gonna be cemented as meme music.

I understand people wanting to call the exact people out but bro needs a check as much as anyone else lol has nothing to do with “wanting to be in the industry”, more or less about having a pay check and budget for his next album

There’s a kernel of objective truth in there about how artists are marketed to us, and how the vocal part of rap media/social media will mostly play along and act fake-surprised when it turns out that, say, a Bossman DLow strictly puts out songs that sound 99% similar to Get In With Me. Nothing wrong with that – just like a meme, if you like the format once then it’s probably gonna still hit for you when it pops up again

The idea that they’re taking up potential space that Tyler could be using is laughable though

Then he shouldn't portray himself as someone who cares deeply about the art/culture and speak on those issues if his money is the most important thing to him.

Also he desperately wanted to be in and accepted by the industry lol.

Exactly. Call out the artists, A&Rs, and label execs that create and push those kinds of rappers. Ian is just a symptom of the problem. Tyler won't tho because he still wants to be in the industry lol.
