When it comes to disliking musical artists for their unwarranted fame because they sound like a gallimaufry of street animals and synthesized diarrhoea, I'm dead fucking serious.

[smartdude1212]

They were the first terrible ones to come to mind. An extensive list might break the internet.

[MrGiggles]

Rihanna's okay, idk I like the beats her songs usually have but I tend to ignore her singing.

I think I might pick Taio Cruz for his Imagine cover.
or Flava Flav, he's always irritating
although Kanye is my pick for least likable motherfucker alive, a lot of people enjoy his work and I can't really judge, having listened to maybe 1 song of his.
possibly Ke$ha

Although, I have to say, I gained some respect for Kesha when I read an interview where she was pretty level-headed and deviously sarcastic. Her music is still piss though.

And Lady GaGa is kind of awesome actually, I really dig the over-the-top music and accompanying attitude.

[virus003]

They should have kept weezy in jail imo.

Pretty much mainstream artists suck, like everyone else said.

I still <3 deadmau5 though.

He's the #4 actual "best dj" in the world, right?

As for Lil' Wayne, it's called "hash-tag" rapping. I don't like it because they are all incomplete sentences, representing incomplete thoughts, which is dumb when it comes to a genre where the music is predominantly the lyrics. I'll stick to Atmosphere, Aesop, Cannibal Ox, and El-P, thanks.

According to DJ Mag or whatever, yes. But Armin Van Buren is their #1 and I think his releases are pop trash, if that puts things into perspective for you.

^Best thing I've heard all day. I completely agree with this.

Also, Lil'Wayne's songs are nothing but a bunch of 1 liners strung together that the studio crew works with until it doesn't make them vomit.

[robertsona]

also can we not stop with the "AN ARTIST YOU DISLIKE AND AN ARTIST THAT IS BAD ARE DIFFERENT THINGS" ugh lets just establish that music is subjective bros. you cant be like "well I DONT LIKE THEM BUT THEY ARE OBJECTIVELY GOOD" nah son nah

[revolutionomega]

Let's just kick back and hope for a re-spawning of the 60's-70's when there was good music with wholehearted lyrics and none of this mainstream bullshit. RANT TIME GOGOGO:

Breakdown:
Lady GaGa: She has grown on me, her weird fashion crap is just a re-hash of people like Elton John/David Bowie but her music isn't really bad in fact it can be quite catchy and I've heard many good remixes of her stuff, I look forward to hearing what she comes out with in May.

Ke$ha: I only kind of like one of her songs "Take it Off" because it's catchy and it takes the chord progression of an old classical piece and the video is interesting, but generally she is awful and sounds better with the auto-tune/voice mod software.

Bieber: I can't stand any of his stuff and everything he does is one giant mediocre mess. He is certainly multi-talented for his age but I think he's trying to be a one-boy boy band and thinks he's the shit and some ghetto mastermind and yet he's some ignorant white kid from Canada. Really, Usher?

Katy Perry: I don't know what everyone has against her, I actually like her music and she's one of the people in the mainstream with a decent voice. While I don't agree with her choice in men and she flaunts 'it' a little too much I find much of her stuff to be catchy and fun.

Deadmau5: Although much of his stuff is a bit generic, he is hella fun to see live and has done some cool collabs and definitely works his stuff well.

Brokencyde: They are just awful. Metal and rap generally shouldn't touch eachother unless you can pull of a powermix with GOOD lyrics in the nu-metal or rap/metal genre AKA Linkin Park (who is probably the only group who has seriously pulled this off). Plus the fact that they are, again, stupid assholes who think they are top of the world.

Lil' Wayne: Most of his stuff is trash, although I hate him as a person and thought it was obnoxious that he was the first thing I would be presented with in 2011 (damn you NBC) I found that some of his older stuff was more well thought out and mixed.

Kanye: Basically, a giant living douche. Everyone is saying how creative and talented he is. He is just being douche-like and stealing things that people have been saying in better and more musically interesting ways for years. Apparently he is trying to disclude himself from the "douchebag" or "asshole" category in his new hit.

Nicki Minaj: Another obnoxious rapp-ette as I like to call them. She is about as important as Bono's fecal matter. Nothing she has done thrills me in the slightest, however she has (unfortunately) been collabed in songs I enjoy.

Rhianna: I'm tired of hearing her voice, it's incredibly nasal and whiny. The only songs of hers I semi-enjoyed were her collab with Maroon 5, her new dance song because it's mixed to all hell, and Umbrella (only when done by the 3 million other artists that covered it)

Drake: Hey Jimmy, where's your wheelchair? Anyways, I find him terribly overrated and only like a couple songs of his when he sings rather than raps. Generally his collabs are garbage and he even sounds annoying when he raps.

Jason Derulo: How could nobody mention him? God what a conceited bastard. I HATE when people state their names in songs. He's a very mediocre voice (he was awful live on tv), an okay dancer, and a crap personality. Thank you Chelsea Handler for fucking with him (and not fucking him).

Tre Songz: Just... ugh.

+1, approved.

fix'd and emphasized
pretty much everyone/everything in this thread could use an "in my opinion" line.

[revolutionomega]

I'm going based off a norm for the quality of music of general performers. Yes, much of it is my opinion, but I'm looking at much of it from a standpoint as a singer/musician myself. Such as I have learned, oftentimes the OPINION of a "master" or such professional in a field can be taken as fact. Otherwise, majority-rules type deals go into effect, again if a majority were to agree with me it could be taken down as a fact, even if a simple major opinion would be its base. I thought that it was unnecessary for you to take all the time just to do that as clearly it was already IMO (for the most part).

Just cause you listen to a wide variety of music doesn't make your opinion any more valid. You don't like Lady Gaga or Justin Beieber but they're good performers, and honestly, I like Lady Gaga not that I'd actually go out of my way to listen to her. If she pops up on the radio I'm happy. If you don't like her fine but your point in your posts was saying that dislike=/=bad. Can you tell me WHY Lady Gaga is a poor performer?

If people are saying that, yeah, overrated but around here, right in his home town most people just listen to Drake and other Hip-Hop which I can't stand. He has a lot of skill. His music (Really only in his older popular albums IMO) were really generic and stuff, I didn't like his first album with Ghosts N' Stuff on it but his new one has put him at #1 for me, and I listen to a lot of electronic music. But again he's no GODSEND, just a really good artist.

Also sorry I'm stupid for not appreciation an artist with no talent. If it's about what he's saying I might be wrong but I honestly don't expect anything intelligent to come out of that guy and I can't really understand him so I don't know how I'll ever really know without looking up his lyrics.

[robertsona]

no stop you cant just be like "your opinion is worth less" music is subjective please stop no

also wrt spitfire we dont need to put "in my opinion" in our posts of course its our fucking opinion we're talking about music are you fucking stupid

[fido123]

I'm not saying anybody's opinion is worth less. I'm saying what you're saying with the only difference of saying I think Lil'Wayne is a bad artist cause he lacks any sort of talent. I think people just listen to that crap for persona. That is something you can say "In my opinion" as I may be wrong, and talent really isn't subjective. Maybe I just don't understand why people like him, but I personally doubt it.

Yeah that's basically what I said in my earlier post about talent musically. I find that I have a good ear for perfect pitch and I quite enjoy listening to live performances to see if people really have the ability they do on a recording (much of which is so mixed and built these days it's impossible to tell who ACTUALLY has talent anyways), because I have found that people like Lady GaGa actually have a strong persona and voice live, versus other artists who are godawful live.

Personal preference does definitely play a strong part in the whole argument, but evidence proves that certain artists have fanbases and talent for a reason. My problem with rap is that the lyrics are so overblown, played out, and meaningless these days and most of the people representing it are just personally obnoxious.

I MEAN SERIOUSLY, PULL UP YOUR FUCKING PANTS.

ugh

Shes like 11 wth.lol Plus Will Smith cant have horrible musicians, He's freaking Will Smith.lmao

[boibomb]

And the "Most Hating on music" Award goes too? "Drum Roll".............FFR's thread called "Worst Artists of the Year".lmao Everyone has different views of what is called music. Get used to there being horrible artists. If music always sounded amazing we wouldnt have anything to talk about and laugh at. Either turn off the radio and put in a CD or Plug your ears.

[revolutionomega]

Sometimes bad music is hard to avoid. Fun events can often play awful music unfortunately, simply because it's popular. But I give Willow Smith props for being 11 and even semi-talented. It's rather impressive considering her age, just like that kid Greyson Chance. I just wish they would allow these kids to grow away from the spotlight a bit more before being thrust into it because people won't remember them when they may actually come out with some really good stuff. I have high hopes for the youth of the world but I also hope that the media doesn't fuck up some possible future geniuses before their time.

Your exactly right! I would never expose my child to Hollywood at such a early age. Look at the past child stars that crashed and burned(Danny bonaduce, Gary Coleman,Dustin Diamond,Todd Bridges). I would push marijuana on my child before i would push Fame(I know that was a bad comparison.lol).

Well everyone knows that mainstream rap is poop. Thats why you have to go on your own hunt for rap/hip-hop. I have been running across alot of great rappers that dont make it to radio(lupe fiasco,A1,Knowledge,Mos def,Mf Doom,etc). If you want good rap/hip-hop you will have to search for it because great hip-hop/rap is a treasure chest buried in the past and certain places in the now. Also WAKA FLOCKA FLAME IS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPEN TO RAP.lol
