He never does reviews of classical or jazz music. Uncultured pleb.
He doesn’t know shit about punk or metal either.
>>128232781I like that, however he mostly talks about post-african repetitions
>>128232805He’s a rap tourist. His specialty is white indie slop.
>>128232781CAN YOU STOP THIS FAGGOT HERE FOR ATLEAST 5 MINUTES!1!1!
>>128232781he did some jazz reviews and they were laughably badno wonder he sticks to pop and rap nowadays
>>128232781Go ahead and list your top classic and jazz picks from this decade
>>128232813>He’s a rap tourist.Its hilarious listening to his early reviews of hip hop because he clearly doesn't know what he is talking about
>>128232781He looks like a faggot too.
>>128232781Why would he do reviews of background music?
>>128232781No shit. Music "critics" have always been a bit of a joke but nowadays they really are just faggy "content creators" who are absolutely clueless when it comes to music history, theory, aesthetic, classical, jazz, traditional folk music, etc.
>>128233201OP said classical or jazz, not background music. You know, music where thematic development actually happens, and form and technique actually matter. If you even understand what I'm talking about. Hope that helps.
>>128233108>he clearly doesn't know what he is talking aboutExamples?
>>128232781he will if it has buzz like kamasi or some london scene stuff https://youtu.be/DsI6j_egLdo?si=4EgxTkS1vwoHlkhhhe's obviously not a jazz guy but he seems like a fine enough casual enjoyer
>>128232781At least he admits it’s because of is own stupidity instead of pretending like he’s too cool for it.
>>128232781he has literally said he knows too little about it to discuss it. and I think that being honest and admitting that is pretty fair
>>128233461>>128233472Well, at least he's honest about it, which is more than I can say for the 99% of /mu/fags coping and seething when it comes to classical.
>>128232804100% this, he is just a filthy cuck who worships modern rap
he sometimes reviews jazz because there is, unfortunately, some contemporary overlap with rap. i give him props for being a matana roberts fans, she's actually the real dealclassical has no such overlap so he'll never touch it, not that i want him to, outside the usual "can't look away from the trainwreck" reason
>Lemonade by Beyonce - 10/10
>>128233397He didn't know much about the roots of a lot of hip hop genres, I remember he reviewed Salem and didn't mention anything about its chopped and screwed origins.
Its hard to put a lot of what makes classical or jazz good into words
>>128235444Maybe, if you can't even read music for a start. It's really not hard if you're not a retarded dilettante.
>>128235444Maybe if you have no musical vocabulary
>>128235643>>128235519Describe your favorite piece, go
>>128235659I don't have a "favorite piece". There are entire fucking books, both fiction and non-fiction, written about classical music and jazz. Even a single online article can cut across multiple disciplines and dismantle the retardedly naive idea that "lol just can't put it into words". For example:>https://www.scriabin-association.com/skryabins-eighth-sonata-composers-last-word-sonata-form-simon-nichollsIt doesn't just analyze harmony and form (music theory), but goes into philosophy, aesthetics, metaphysics, psychology, performance interpretation, literary theory and cultural history.
