its fucking fine for people to praise DAMN because its a great album, its fine for people to praise things about EYEWTK that are worth praising. its worth criticizing aspects of both. i have seen no one in this thread protest glassjaw. what the fuck are you even doing man
there's literally not a single person here you could point to exhibiting a double standard. hell, even the horrible people are nothing if not consistent.
Sounds like you love a good Daryl hook. I hope there's a ton on the new record. The bookends man. Two Tabs and Tip Your Bartender.
your talking points are straight out of the playbook of concern trolls. dont tell me to chill out. these users are either imagined or you dont have the courage to quote them and ask them yourself. which makes your arguments purely strawmen and absolutely ridiculous.
Whoa man I left this when that whole Daryl lyric thing started up and I come back and Kendrick got brought in? Fuck
how can you guys listen and love every word daryl has ever said but then turn 'round and not appreciate the fine artisanship of Bitch Better Have My Money.
The CD is available on Amazon and a few other places and they all say release date is Friday. Hopefully they're already in the mail.
you really just dont get it lol. what makes you think the people going over the top saying that that band should get kicked off a tour are the ones praising damn? guess what, they probably aren't. you're talking about two very different groups of people here, and trying to act like they're the same group of people. thats what we call a bad faith argument. and damn has great lyrics. lets do an exercise here. could you see a difference between: (not real examples): "i hate you bitch" and a bunch of bad typical pop punk lyrics surrounding this line "whats up bitch" and a bunch of forward thinking conscious raps about social issues surrounding this line think long and hard about why one of these songs lyrics would be praised and one would be criticized. think reallllly fucking hard. and then dont quote me because i dont give a fuck what you think
I appreciate your sentiments. Im letting it go because its clear my point isnt getting across accurately. In conclusion, I love GJ, I love Kendrick, sorry it got fucky in here. Im not trying to put down a black artist or turn this into a race thing, truly, that is not me at all. Is it friday yet?
OK, that's good. Its just not released physically in stores (in AUS) until the 15th, which indicates to me that it was a very rushed physical release. Anyway, will have it digitally tomorrow.
Sorry again for derailing this tread everyone. I deleted my posts because I can definitely see how they could me misinterpreted from what I was really trying to bring up. I definitely stepped over the line a bit and got carried away, and I apologize. Sorry specifically to @sophos34 as I could have handled my side better, and articulated better what I was trying to say before it got outta hand. If you dont accept that or if I have already been blocked, so be it.
I remember reading that somewhere. That it was about Ray Cappo breaking edge, but I never found a good source on it.
