i just don't like the music itself

ive been told listening to it has layers of meaning under it

I don't like rap, but I'm a huge fan of Kanye

I rather like Audioslave

Hell, dude even sings well

unfortunately that band, much like Chris Cornell, is dead af

I've never seen Kanye as a rapper

personally

the ones i like are lyricists almost exlusively

Kanye isn't doing that necessarily

he seems to want to use words in a way to have multiple meanings within the same line which lyricists dont typically seem to do

sure there's metaphor but not layered the same way

This is one area I'd like Ben Shapiro to stfu about

Rage against the machine were basic but powerful to the point the us gobt had to silence them

Their message was anarchy tho

Kanye sounds even better live sometimes

@Baal when did they get shut down?

i mean shit they were at the Republican National Convention performing

which was an... interesting choice

How the hell did that convo even go.

"Hey Frank, you know what seems a great idea to me? Let's bring in a band that genuinely hates everything we do and have THEM perform at our RNC. Winning idea right?"

"My god Joe! THATS AMAZING!"

I used to watch Morning Joe

does anyone still watch that?

also RATM never was able to admit they themselves are part of the machine.

They look at a Cog and call it the machine.

They don't bother looking at all the parts that cog connects to

Lol

"Paul Ryan likes our music? He's part of the machine"

I find it interesting that RATM always saw the machine as being in a singular direction. If the machine likes your music, that should tell you something about yourself

doesnt ben shapiro hate rap

@Timcast yeah

he's the whole "that's not real music" kinda guy

which is just fuckin stupid

As much as Drop Kick Murphies are Punk, they are also fairly patriotic

@Timcast actually what's really funny is when Ben comes out saying that his comments are just getting shit up by republicans saying they think he's dumb on that

"Fight the power comes great responsiblity
F the police but whos stoppin you from killin me?"

i think ben would appreciate that line to an extent

you can call out the cops but what about when youre killing each other
