This is a totally side topic but it's also so great when the state of rock music is determined by a handful of bum ass soft serve major label bandsBtw Maura I really like Pile from your year end list, really great band

actually kind of curious now whether streaming makes it easier or harder for (sigh, phrasing) raunchier women. I can think of arguments for both

i just think this song is corny. my feeling is that down the road people will reflect on the production and vocal delivery and it will seem lame and forced and kind of awkwardly sincere (like john wayne westerns, or latter-day boogie down) rather than "wow this is still so fresh and badass" (like clint E circa "fistful" or wu tang). still fun, tho, yeah! just corny.― budo jeru, Thursday, December 28, 2017 8:40 PM (yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Otm. Just strikes me as a "my 1st rap song I liked" for preteens. Full disclosure, I've never listened to the whole song.

"Love's Gonna Get You" sounds way less corny in 2017 than a song that references Freak Nasty, BAPE and a reality TV show

Personally I don’t hate the song I am an outsider and I am genuinely interested in the context of why this song in particular became so big. Songs like “Mask Off” or “XO tour” have very recognizable hooks for a non-native english speaker (who pays attention to lyrics only half of the time and has no clue of slang and metaphors and references and whatnot used in rap) and someone who was raised on pop rather than rap, Bodak Yellow is not as immediate for me
I am a native English speaker, but this post otherwise rings true for me.

Listened to “mask off” yesterday in San Miguel de Allende which is a popular spot in mexico for US tourists and they went a bit crazy for it. If that was the song all critics we’re flocking around as the best I’d get it.

i read the lyrics
honestly i consider myself a bit of an authority on strippers and i can tell u there are strippers working way harder and better than cardi b
not sure how many of you have had strippers sing in your ears, and how many strippers at that, but i can attest to their being quality singing strippers, plus quality performing strippers, as i recounted in one of the i think strippers threads on ilx. the one abt the woman literally playing w fire
shit was fire.
yo.
cardi b a liar.
peace out

i mean bodak yellow sounds like shes phoning it in
got tired of the stripper life (its rougher than the rapper lyfe for sure) and fair enough but dont flaunt/brag abt it
my 2 cents

According to spotify the real winner was rockstar by post malone and 21savage though... also the biggest Cardi B song was Bartier Cardi?

Another notch against this song being the anthesis to Trump's campaign of sexism is the fact that one of the four men with a writing credit on "Bodak Yellow" has been indicted for sexual assault

The authenticity chase aspect of this convo is always interesting whether it’s “I saw Americans get excited about this” “look at these people at a subway stop” or on the other side “let me tell you about Real Strippers”
I’m not saying I’ve never shared a video of kids dancing to faneto or whatever but that’s for songs that aren’t already number one on the pop charts and absolutely saturating a conversation, & is a starting pt for arguments about subjective quality not the final word

this was not true of the train video posted upthread iirc
i mean the song came out & was instantly on rap caviar
but regardless my point was that no one is arguing that this song is 'authentically' popular but ppl keep hammering home that authenticity issue like it proves their taste right
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 29 December 2017 21:57 (six years ago) link
*no one is arguing the song is *not* authentically popular i mean
arguing that people writing blurbs about how much they like the song don't actually mean it/are deluded/etc is close enough

if its coming across that i think other people "shouldn't" like this song thats not at all my intent
if anything its sort of felt like the dominant tone is that not liking it is ~problematic~
im ok w/ anyone feeling any way about it, just explaining why i have trouble getting excited about it! personally! if what i say resonates w/ someone bc they hadn't thought about it before or deepens their relationship to it bc they think i might have a point, thats good too. but no one is saying there's some mass delusion bc people like a song
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 29 December 2017 23:08 (six years ago) link
and fwiw i think the song is 'fine' & 'fun' just ... not as good as lots of other ppl think it is. this kind of difference is ... in every thread about music on this board ever
