Shame on you OP for making such an obvious troll thread.

 

[finowns]

Are people hating on Led Zeppelin? Whatever your taste, and even with their coded white supremacy lyrics, Led Zeppelin has had a pretty good run.

 

[Austriacus]

First time ive shouted oh my god in disbelief after reading a thread tittle, so congrats op.

 

[Shadynasty]

This thread just shows how joyless some posters are. The woman is fine as hell. They had to take down a wax model of her because people were trying to fuck it. Given the opportunity I'd wager 99% of GAF would try to fuck it too given the opportunity.

Sex appeal has something to do with Musical talent?

For real. Like if she offered to fuck me there's no way in hell I'd say no. I still think huge swaths of her music is crap. That verse on monster is good tho.

 

[Grizzo]

She did record and release Starships, therefore that title can't decently be awarded to her.

However, I love all her guest features on other songs, and The Pinkprint was a damn fine album.

I didn't say that. I'm commenting on the serious negative turn this joke thread has taken and attempted to steer it in a direction most would agree on. For instance I don't think she's the greatest artist of the 21st century (especially since we still have 83 years to go), but if you had her performing on television I wouldn't change the channel because I like what I see more than I what I hear. Sex appeal goes a long way in popular music.

I lol'd. I actually don't think she's a terrible rapper. But Super Soul Sis is still the best female rap song.

Fuck no.

Jimmy Page is pretty great at the whole guitar thing.

I've never vibed with them though. Same for Queen.

I like her verse in Monster.

This image makes light of the incredibly profound and allochromatic lyrics of "Bicycle Race" by Queen. In my opinion, this is a grave error and depicts a profound lack of understanding and imagination in the image creator's mind. Considering the following. First, Prince states the object of his affections thrice.

/bicycle bicycle bicycle/

The use of repetition is deliberate, in order to evoke feelings of wonder and amazement, as a small child might feel when seeing a toy they desperately crave, or a grown man might experience upon seeing his future wife. In the second line Prince boldly makes his claim -

/I want to ride my bicycle bicycle bicycle./

Notice that he has ownership of said bicycle. This indicates that despite maintaining ownership, he has not lost interest of the bicycle and continues to maintain as much love and affection for it as the day he first saw it. Considering that this song is about love and affections, its clear that the bicycle is a stand in for a romantic partner. It is important to note Prince's sexuality, and that rather that bending the song to reference a woman instead of a man, it was preferable for the romantic partner to instead be a genderless inanimate object. A pity considering that we will never see the true intent behind this song that we would have seen if Prince weren't constrained by societal forces, but that is a criticism for another time. "I want to ride" is of course a sexual euphemism declaring Prince's utmost desire to have intercourse with said partner. Repetition is again utilized to emphasize Prince's strong feelings for his partner, as though they were as lovely as they first time Prince was struck by these emotions. Most regrettably, something unfortunate happens in the following lines.

/I want to ride my bicycle/

This is the post coital haze. His sexual wanderlust having been sated, Prince no longer values his partner as fanatically as he initially did. The near fanatical obsession he had with his boyfriend is now absent, as the lack of repetition implies.

/I want to ride my bike/

Even more regrettably, Prince's romantic partner now holds so little importance to him that he refuses to waste his breath. Having gotten what he wanted from him, Prince now refers to the partner he once so affectionately and doggedly courted has been reduced to a harsh and monosyllable. Were the hook to end hear, we might consider Prince a remarkably bitter person with a caustically cynical outlook on human sexuality. However, Prince shies away from this ideology with his final line.

/I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I like/

Here, the partner is again being referred to by his full name, but no longer with the gusto of repetition that it once was. "ride it where I like" refers to holy matrimony. In the end the song "Bicycle Race" tells a modern tale of human romance. Prince is enraptured by his partner and doggedly lusts after him. But after the high of sexual intercourse, Prince finds himself aloof and flippant, brushing his new partner off. After some time passes, Prince realizes the error of his ways. Despite no longer feeling as taken as he once did, he refers to his partner by his full name again and is willing to settle down with him. Overall, "Bicycle Race" is a melancholic and bitter interpretation of humanity's lust, but does balance the palette of such a message by stating that humanity's romance and affection can overcome such lust.

This "Kenya West" song isn't even worth interpreting. There is no subtlety to the delivery. All potential symbolism has been stripped away in favor of a naked and laughable attempt at contemporary relativity.

What is this madness

 

[Piston Hyundai]

can we just talk about how "why you ain’t help your bro hide his cum from forensics" is maybe the craziest line in a diss track

[Maxim726X]

I hate this image. It's basically trying to insinuate on some dog whistle shit that white people are more intelligent and thus make more complicated music. FOH

Really.

That's the first thing that comes to mind?

Not that, I don't know, the artist in question may not be the best writer?

 

[btrboyev]

Joke thread?

Good knows. As an aside, i have fond memories of listening to bicycle by Queen in Tenerife in 95. When the bells started to go off, you had to run around the swimming pool and drink your vodka before the bells finished. If you didn't it was dunky dunk time.

Good times

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Just listened to this verse on Monster that everyone is banging on about, big ol' bag of meh.

She's just not that good man, she relies far too much on that annoying stutter/record skip crap in post-production that she uses all the time and of course her "oh hey, check out my quirky inflections" bullshit voice. She's lame.

 

[Magilla]

Damn some people are obtuse about the racism regarding rap and predominately black music. If nothing else I hope the troll thread wakes at least one person up.

Get some fucking perspective people.

Why does Nicki call herself "the Queen of Rap" if she barely even raps anymore? Most of her music are pop hits now and if she does rap, its on a feature.

 

[DiscoJer]

I would go with that Uptown Funk guy. 40 years from now, that will likely still be played on the radio (if such things exist), while Ms. Minaj will be largely forgotten like most other pop stars.

"Stupid Hoe" should have won a Grammy. It is easily the greatest and most influential song of the 21st century. This is why I can't take the Grammys seriously anymore. They frequently honor garbage and not amazing pieces of art. 🤢
