Why didn't this music video take off the same way This Is America did...

>corny
It's intentionally corny.

It'S StuPiD oN PurPoSe

It's not even stupid. He over-exaggerates in order to showcase how rappers and other artists are trained to lose integrity and put on an act for label profit.

>TyPiNg LiKe ThIs Is FuNnY xD
please tell me you're being stupid on purpose

This Is America was also a fake deep cornfest which all the hipsters loved because they felt intellectually superior "analyzing" it. Where have you been?

To take something shitty and make the most extremely shit version of that shit to, alleged by you, to try to make some point is extremely retarded.

I never said it wasn't, I didn't even acknowledge it

It's in the OP you fucking idiot.

>This Is America
>Supposedly has "socially conscious" lyrics
>Literally general platitudes about getting money repeated over and over again
>Every zoomer on the planet goes nuts and thinks this is political commentary

lol you actually thought people would listen to this guy's off key singing over a generic "depressed" trap beat?

op asked about the DC video specifically, I addressed the DC video specifically saying nothing about the other nigger's video you stupid motherfucker

Keep up with the conversation, cumbrain

Actually, part of Curry’s appeal is his nails-on-chalkboard voice is part of his appeal.

*part of curry's appeal is his nails-on-chalkboard voice

Fuck my grammar today.

>makes music video attacking the industry
>goes on tour with the most blatant industry plant in contemporary pop music
Wew, lad.

He’s allowed to be friends with her.

Not going to lie, he's been downplaying the anti-establishment shit ever since touring with her. Just watch his interview with Adam22 and all he's doing is bashing on the underground and talking about making money. Planet Shrooms Denzel would have never done that.

>reddit spacing
leave

"Underground" hip-hop shows are all completely tagged with corporate branding. There is no hip-hop underground.

don’t act like you wouldn’t do the same thing if you had a chance to move from D list soundcloud status, to making seven figures

There's only humiliation in store for people who bash where they come from.

It's not just that. His music has also gotten considerably worse since selling out. Taboo and ZUU were both attempts at him trying to go totally mainstream.

Have you seen her tits? I would be "friends" with her too

why would you out yourself like this

>denzel sells out
>tyler sells out
>chance makes one of the worst albums of the year
>kanye keeps holding his fans metaphorically hostage by not releasing anything
>biggest rapper is currently a gay black cowboy riding off of a literal meme
Can we all agree 2019 has been the worst year ever for hip hop?

2019 is the year popular music died. Everyone still trying to make it in rock, jazz, hip-hop, or pop is deluding themselves.

>Just watch his interview with Adam22 and all he's doing is bashing on the underground and talking about making money.
Except he didn't say anything close to this. He said he signed with an indie label because he wanted his music to be heard by more people without selling his soul.

The "I'm here to get paid" comment was in response to beefs, like does he want to waste all his time beefing with other rappers or does he want to get paid. He never implied he was only in it for the money.

Also, he's no longer touring with Shillie and is currently touring with SuicideBoyz, Pouya, and City Morgue. You know, his actual milieu.

I blame the internet for making music so niche that there's no point in making great songs with universal appeal anymore, only fringe artists who appeal to fringe demographics.

That, and since 2013 with the rise of trap and Lordewave everything has gotten so downbeat. Minimalist production is becoming irritating.

If you don’t agree to sell out you’re basically agreeing to starve.

It’s also a good thing to see Tyler score a Top 20 hit and Denzel play to sold out arenas alongside one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Would you rather be stuck with Lil Pump?

People just don't want to do things that require more than five minutes of effort before feeling gratified.

because it sucks

People have said this for decades

No they haven't.

>It’s also a good thing to see Tyler score a Top 20 hit and Denzel play to sold out arenas alongside one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
Not if their music quality goes down the toilet.

It's not a good thing to see anyone rest their laurels on low effort, lethargic shit regardless of what they may have done in the past.

It's a double-edge sword. Sure, you get paid a lot more and your music gets way more exposure but at what cost? Tyler is now a high-charting artist for making an R&B album which sounds nothing like his previous discography.

Not to shit on OP, but that video in question was the start of Denzel going downhill. Right after that vid went viral he became a favourite of mall goths and emo kids. Hardcore hip hop fans still fuck with him but go to any one of his shows and you'll see the vast majority of people in attendance are teenage Hot Topic shoppers.

>trap and Lordewave
Shillie made a song on her album which incorporates both.
youtube.com/watch?v=lH1F6m3slrQ

This is literally her doing her best Lorde impression over an instrumental which sounds identical to a trap beat straight out of 2016. Future could have mumble rapped over something like this. Surprised this wasn't released as a single instead of Bury a Friend.

What I find ironic is how the “audience” in the Clout Cobain video are primarily brain dead white kids.

It’s almost as if Curry wrote his own fate.

And their music didnt go to shit. At all. They just changed to be more pop but it’s still good.

>Black people don't own the record companies, dipshit.
(((Who))) does then?

I have never heard a Denzel song I actually liked.

>inb4 jews are white

Capitalists

(((Capitalists)))

Seriously though, shouldn't you be getting back to your cashier job at McDonalds? Remember, service with a smile :)

>it's a /pol/yp falls for the oldest trick in the book and channels his anger from capitalism towards a different race episode
Man, I fucking hate this rerun. You retards are so close to getting it but never will.

Discord trannies getting their racist rocks off aren't /pol/ newfriend.

This. When your critique is systematic, rather than moralistic, it becomes intolerable.

At some point, people want to see you live the change you want to see instead of crying about symptoms every waking moment.

Yeah but white supremacy isn’t due to white people not cleansing their souls enough.

What do you know about souls, bugman?

The song and video are cringe and Curry is an overrated hack.

What makes you think I’m not a person of faith? Just because I look at problems and solutions structurally?

TBD is nowhere close to being the worst album of 2019.

>overrated
Motherfucker he’s underrated.

>be woke and legitimately care about social issues
>go on tour with the most blatantly woke-for-pay artist in contemporary pop music

Yea, it's (((white people))) who runs record labels.

They do though. The head of Interscope is an Italian.

This is non-ironically one of her best. She should make more dark electronica like this instead of trying to be pop.

How many layers of retardation are you on, pray tell?

It doesn't matter if Shillie is truly principled when it comes to leftist politics. She has an image she has to convey in order for Interscope to profit. That's why her feature on Denzel's track was left uncredited, the song was way too political and for Shillie to be associated with radical politics in any way could have destroyed her career right as she was starting to blow up.

White chauvinists are always more profitable than white comrades.

TA13OO was a great album.

Also, this is one of the best songs Denzel has ever done, off ZUU:

I havne't listened to IGOR all the way through so I can't judge Tyler yet.

>"capitalism is just jews not cleansing their souls enough"
Way to make 's point, dumbass.

Rappers don't make 7-figures. The vast majority of them are in debt to the label. All the cars and jewelry are rented just for show.

Why are all the top rating comments “RIP Etika”?

Attached: D81022C1-70A1-4E21-A94A-ABA54080155C.jpg (828x1026, 721K)

Because the song and video easily relate to a case like Etika's. Poor kid would act like a jiggaboo for YouTube views, i.e. doing Fortnite dances to appease his white teenage audience, which masked the real pain he suffered, until it was too late. So yes, Etika was essentially a clout martyr.

Just the fact that it’s an 80 minute Chance album is enough to make it one of the worst albums of the year.

>Etika was essentially a clout martyr.
Please don't.

to be fully honest, thisis america video is much more "wtf" inducing which is perfect for viralization

Simple answer: Denzel is an edgelord while Donald Glover puts thought into his videos.

literal autism

It sucks. It's music made to be played at fast fashion joints.

To be fair, Curry was considered a meme rapper until he released Taboo.

No payola

Based and truthpilled. The critique of this is America can also let the hip-hop consuming public off the hook because Glover's message is to more white America at large, much easier to pretend you're not part of it. Curry directly confronts his own fanbase as perpetuating exploitation of disposable artists just using someone up until they're done and throwing them away for the next.

Plus the Clout Cobain video was making a mockery of the SoundCloud rap subculture (hence the face tattoos, xans, and lean). Mainstream culture only allows for a certain degree of critique. There's no way that video would have flown a year prior when SC rap was at its peak. It was only after X got clout martyred that the dark underbelly of the subculture got exposed and the public began scrutinizing it.

holy cringe that thumbnail, not even listening to that

is that what this video was about? isn't he copying kurt cobain? uh oh, i guess that's being a culture vulture.. or, no, because its white culture?

"Kurt Cobain" is a metaphor for how the industry drives artists to self-destruction.

OP is speaking about the video not the song itself.

>choosing not to watch music videos solely based on their thumbnails
Wew lad.

It’s aged horribly.

and the video is what? him shooting people. This is America is the dumbest, most pseudo intellectual bullshit i have ever seen.

There were many other little details in the video which you probably didn't catch.

Damn is it just me or is this new pours video dope what y’all think found this on twitter crazy dope m.youtube.com/watch?v=cBv68dM78Co&feature=youtu.be

Edgy in the gayest way

How?

Like so

I see.

Both videos are pretentious and the literal embodiment of “we live in a society vro.”

Beyond the Staples Centre you can see america, with its tired, poor, avenging disgrace.
Peaceful, loving youth angainst the brutality, of plastic existance!
