[QUOTE="IsThisIt_basic"]lol I really think that in all the years I've been posting here Rob is the first person to take a stab at figuring out the ideology behind what I listen to. Hell, I can't even explain it. I just find it amusing to see other people try lol.WorstGameEver
I think you just like being different haha
anyone else notice GS is going to **** lately when it comes to posting things? took me 3 trys to put this in to realize it had triple posted..ITI likes dudes that talk about real life, but have something worthwhile to talk about. i.e. Kid Cudi's drug issues ITI could care less about because the way he presents it isn't compelling. At the same time, The Jacka pushing coke is a good topic because the Jack does push coke, and its something that millions of people do to get by.ITI also doesn't like music that's going to take time to get into. So non-rap music like experimental ish is just not up ITI's alley...also new genres are usually pegged by ITI as fads. He's a much bigger fan of music that's timeless...so ITI will take Folk over Freak Folk...Shoegaze over Tweegaze. It kind of runs with the idealogy of not liking stuff that's going to take time to get into...a new genre will take some time to get into...once it clicks, it clicks and sounds great but as all things that click after a while, it's hard to get back into them 6 months from now. You just never feel compelled to listen to it again, and the phase is over. Â
Also anything that mimics old times but doesn't add anything to it will be immediately written off, and rightfull so. So while everyone here is jumping up and down about say....a new Nas album that tries to mimic Illmatic but falls short like most of his tapes do, ITI won't feel it because its 90s east coast rappers doing what they alwyas do....living in the past, and doing something that was done better 15 years ago. This goes across most genres. ITI hates neo soul because it's mimics soul artists of the 60s/70s that did the genre more justice. ITI does however, like music like The-Dream...because when The-Dream came out, he did something that hadn't been done before. Fresh, new...will still being easily accessible and compelling. Right up ITI's alley.
I'm not being sarcastic in any of this...just calling it like I see it. Some of ITI's criticism's of music I completely agree with....others I don't.Â
