I guess here is my hot take: Tommy Wright III is the most underrated producer of all time and one of the most influential and Memphis rap is better than what any other region made. Especially late 80’s/early to mid 90’s. It didn’t get the shine it deserved partly because of the satanic panic and because it was raw as hell, DIY, and punk as fuck.

The lore surrounding the scene is also the wildest shit ever. Sure, suge knight dangling someone out of a window is cool and all, but rumors/legends of Memphis rappers rappers practicing ritual magick, sacrificing people and recording it so they could sample it on their tapes is way fucking gnarlier.

Also fuck Eminem.

I too am here to shit on Eminem

Dude picks the wackest beats of all time,

raps about adam sandler shit as a 50 year old man,

shelves rappers that sign to shady in a way that would make Dr Dres Detox delays seem reasonable,

and gets put in GOAT conversations ONLY off technical ability despite most of his music being ridiculously corny

Not to mention the elvis parallels and that ignorant section of his fanbase "not liking rap besides em"

Thrash is way sicker than punk as a genre

Rap still has good shit coming out

Extreme Aggression by Kreator is peak thrash 💯

I'll take Em over Kid Rock all day. His old stuff, particularly the first Bad Meets Evil tape with Royce is solid. I'd probably never play Eminem on purpose though.

Kid Rock has nothing redeemable though. He's like the white trash jesus throughout southeast Michigan. People LOVE that motherfucker here.

shit man, i know you qualify your comment with Kid Rock and all, but fuck, how low can that bar get man?

Eminem just opened some spaghetti restaurant right smack in the middle of the heavily policed, heavily surveilled urban theme park that is "New Detroit"--i.e. the hyper-gentrified 7-square-miles of this 139-square-mile city you hear about when fuckwits talk about Detroit going through some kind of "rebirth--and in most of the pictures, eminem's glaring and/or flipping the camera off like the fatuous embodiment of white, inner-ring-suburban angst he still absurdly is in his 40s or whatever stage of adulthood he's reached--i guess despite being a millionaire/billionaire...

It's literally called Mom's Spaghetti and they sell leftover style spaghetti out of a take out window for like $13. Stans line up down the block for it. Ridiculous.

And to clarify, I'm not trying to defend Emimem, just stating that as far as Detroit artists go, he's not the the worst. Kid Rock is, by a long shot. Bob Seger also sucks.

Alright well it all makes sense then I guess.

I found the whole Slim Shady spiel amusing and refreshing when he dropped the first singles. Guilty Conscience had a dope Dre beat and Stan had quite a clever concept. I liked the first two albums, then it got old. From a technical rapping point of view the dude is talented and brought something new to the table. I did not follow all of his later antics so I can’t really comment on that.

Murder, Murder from the Slim Shady EP is one of my favorite narrative rap songs of all time. The beat, the vivid story-telling, it's a great song.

That's my unpopular opinion for the day.

I remember when I first heard Just Don't Give a Fuck on the local college radio station (the original version) and I was blown away. I listened every night to hear that song. I went to the record store every week to ask if they had any M+M records. I didn't know until I saw the first video on MTV how it was actually spelled. I feel like it was at least a year later. I didn't know he was white until I saw the video.

I feel like this type of thing is missing from our world today. This discovery of new things. Everything is just there when you want it.

Definitely not agreeing with this sentiment to hate on contemporary stuff, but I do think the accessibility to subculture that people have these days is a double-edged sword.

It is so sick that people can find out about things without having to go through traditional gatekeepers, but also so much of everything is immediately accessible that folks that there is no real process of discovery and reconciliation. And I for sure get that there are other struggles in the world that matter so, so much more, but I do feel like this sort of thing is less of an investment for people these days.

Gatekeeping is corny, but it happens in every aspect of civilization, so it's something to get used to anyway. It's the thrill-of-the-hunt that's lost, and it's a bit of a shame.

For real. Anyone who needs a rundown of "disco sucks" as a racist/homophobic movement should check the house music doc "Pump Up The Volume". Posted it in the music docs but leaving the link here for those interested.

The one rules too! There is some crossover but both need to be seen for sure.

Electronic music as we know it exists because of black and queer innovators, and it makes me a little crazy that (particularly with the fetishization of Berlin club culture) it is so often viewed through this Eurocentric lens.

alright finally!! this is something that picked up on when I started doing heelflip Body variels or "heelflip Sex change" or more commonly known as the "disco flip". super illegal flatground trick, but when I was younger i thought it was because skating comes from a punk background and the punks also hated disco thus they named the ugly trick as such. This one is way more thought out than the gay twist. kook me but current house and hip hop sences are so removed from what I consider their prime years that I cant stand to listen to most of it. Like if house and hip hop were neighborhoods, they would have already been gentrified. lol

Pop music is some of the best there is.

Case and point below.



You do know this is the unpopular opinions thread, and that "pop" is short for "popular"?

Smashing Pumpkins in their prime were better than Nirvana. This is not a judgment on character, as Billy Corgan is a douche. But from about 1990 until whenever Mellon Collie came out he wrote some bangers. The guitars a bit louder, the solos just a bit sweeter. And the drumming? Fughettaboutit. Full disclosure I am not a NiRvANa fan at al.
