Bodak Yellow is:

yeah love's gonna get ya is great

I think Stagecoach holds up as well as any of Eastwood's spaghetti westerns which always seem like they last 7 hours to me when i try to watch them

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.

That song is boring as shit

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

an adult human being everyone! how about a round of applause?

I find Bodak Yellow more boring :/

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

loads of fake strippers btw lol man lots of fake jugz fo sho!

We need a 'pretty decent song, fucking awful lyrics' option.

But 'Mask Off' is way better.

well, damn, we've got the stripper expert here, all other people talking about strippers including actual strippers are now irrelevant

wld be chill if we had actual ex strippers on ilx

definitely wld make the board less boring

youre stupid

anyway the problem here is non-critics thinking posts directed at critics are directed at them

I'm just here to police against ppl insulting old Boogie Down Productions albums

take the wackest song and make it better

ulysses the jack of spades was inside u all along

can’t tell if infinity’s posts are real

i am v corny tbh so this song may, indeed, be corny

most of the videos i saw of people going crazy for bodak yellow came out well before the song topped the charts

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

*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

where is anyone saying that?

the whole thread seems to be about this

You are projecting so much that I want to warn you about the 10 seconds of silence in The Last Jedi

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

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

I wanna hear what other people have as their song of the year in this thread to be honest

probably "Dot in the Sky" by Drab Majesty

"First Day Out"

"Atom Heart Motherfuckers Never Learn" by Hawkeyes

I love "First Day Out."

I'm all "I know you don't mean the Insane Clown Posse song and yet that's all I can think of"

probably "Dot in the Sky" by Drab Majesty

this is indeed amazing

The question is not if it’s popular, it definitely is. it’s why. The answer is ‘because it’s fun’ and the counterargument is’no it’s not’.

I think my fave single is gonna end up being Akanamali by Sun-EL Musician and Samthing Soweto
Dua Lipa's New Rules is a close second
I may have totally different picks tomorrow

I love those songs.

👍

Song of the year is chocolate furniture’s upholster me with pleather

"I think this meme jpeg of Spongebob acting like a chicken will prove corny, much like the film Chinatown"

idk about anyone else but i was arguing about the artists not getting the opportunities to be this popular which is a slightly difft argument than what you're talking about

rap caviar sucks ass

fwiw this song broke on apple music (and whatever their rap caviar equivalent is) significantly earlier than spotify
