And the lyrics? I really don't see how lines like "Fuck you faggots/I'm with a fat bitch/making shit come like I'm go-go gadget" really differentiate Tyler from any other half-assed rapper out there.
I prefer Tyler, the Creator's egotism to that song Matious posted. I never even said they were better, I acknowledged that was personal opinion. Again, if your beef is egotistical rapping about sexual prowess you can basically attack any rapper. I mean, sure, it's a valid critique but uh, yeah it's not remotely unique. I never said the lyrics made him unique (particularly on that track) or different from most rappers. All I said was I think Tyler did it better.

I wasn't even trying to argue that one is objectively better then the other (or more "quality" in your words) in my post. I was arguing that there were aesthetic and sonic differences, which you've pretty snidely written off (I mean "you've certainly done a lot of writing there?" Really? All I was doing was comparing the two songs and explaining why they're different, liked you asked.) I don't really see the point in arguing with you if you're just going to be as glib and arrogant as possible. The last part of your argument is basically "it's lo-fi, with synthesizers and rapping therefore it's similar" but that's like saying "Oh Led Zeppelin uses guitars, bass and drum and so do the Beatles, it's similar."

Definitely haven't listened to it.

Excuse me, you're the one engaging in name-calling and false accusations here. How about you knock it off and take things down a notch, eh?

My beef isn't egoistical rapping, it's the overall finished product. I don't feel like any part of it is good at all.

Ethan, I wrote an entire paragraph discussing a single song, that's hardly glib. And I have to say I don't appreciate the repeated insults in your posts. I would think a former mod would realize that's not cool.

No, not really. I was actually pointing out pretty specific things about the two songs, that's hardly the vague statement you're making it out to be.

Yeah you're right. I am acting like an ass right now. I've had way too long of a day to discuss this. I just disagree with you. End debate with hugs?

I actually was referring your use of the word naive, but yeah the "spewing bullshit" remark was also fairly inappropriate too, now that you mention it.

Hugs. And sorry for derailing the Earl thread with the Tyler conversation.
