Axl Rose holds that title for "Chinese Democracy."
Jay-Z sold Tidal.. why make those other people money?
So hate is expected?
According to their stats no one else has EVER commanded this level of fandom on their steaming site.
3.5 million> you.. yeah all of them are totally wrong, you are correct with your vast knowledge of music composition lol
What other Apple Music Global Livestreams could their be? Not many have fan bases that care about their current music as much as Kanye.
Its funny how much the untalented have to say about people who are borderline geniuses at their craftI hear you and went through a phase where I shared that perspective. But I think it's more "get off my lawn" than accurate. And I say that as one predisposed to "get off my lawn"ery.
Quick background: I grew up in the mid-70s and 80s. My musical intuition was sparked by my mother, whose eclectic mix of 50s, 60s and 70s music, from Elvis to Hendrix to The Beatles (McCartney was her fav) to CCR to Zeppelin to Sly and the Family Stone to Beach Boys to Simon and Garfunkle to Isaac Hayes to Willie Nelson to John Denver to Sam Cooke and to Aretha Franklin to Al Green to Johnny Cash to - you name it - created a phenomenal and diverse foundation from which to go out on my own. By the time I started making my own musical choices, I was exploring Michael Jackson, Beastie Boys, Black Sabbath, Talking Heads, Can, Phish, jazz, funk, etc., as well as deeper dives into the soundtrack of my youth. This helped nurture and grow an incredible sonic vocabulary for which I am forever grateful.
Fast-forward to this post: The past few years, I participate in weekly (at best) Vinyl Nights with some other music nerds. We take turns spinning one side of a record, with the goal of hopefully turning others on to something new-to-them. One thing we like to do is try and guess the year the album was released based solely on listening. Several times, I have been pleasantly surprised to learn that what I was certain was a 1972 release was actually a 2017 release. A realization that always blows my mind, yielding the stupidest grin. My music discovery arsenal consists of vinyl night + Apple Music + public radio. This trifecta has seen me reconnect with music with a depth I thought was a thing of the past. Long story short - I'm here to say that music is as alive and well as it's ever been. Is there stuff I prefer more than others? Of course. Same as it ever was. But I do think some of the music being written, produced, recorded, and distributed today, is as vibrant and powerful as any of the tried and true "classics." FWIW.
*daring*? ITs Kanye whoever heads up that department would be fired on the spot if they didn't collaborate with Kanye.
Aren't we all? One thing all aren't are borderline billionaires, brand owners, or geniuses.
A certain number watched and or listened but I wonder how many enjoyed it. The reviews were scathing. A guy in a puffy jacket and a stocking over his head pacing, kneeling and little else.
Is it the artist or the genre that despise so much? In my opinion he is truly one of the greatest hip hop producers and lyricists of all time. Can’t stand him in general, but I can’t deny his talent.
Lol.
they said the same thing about Winton Marsalis, prince, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, etc until time after time they were proven unequivocally wrong
