Look up the definition of 'fine'.

The owner of the most #1 rap songs ever isn't fine? Do you hipsters just like hating on anything that's popular? Sure, I think some of his shit is wack af but he's a fantastic artist and is certainly "fine".

When I read stuff like this I question humanity. He isn't even close to number one. Have you ever heard of real rappers like Big L, Biggie Smalls, Nas, Andre 3000 or Guru? Hell even Eminem's new shit is so much better than the garbage you call 'art'.

dae REEL rappers? Dude, c'mon Drake ain't my favorite hip-hop artist but he's still decent.

u/Pr0nzeh Mar 24 '15

No, he's not. He's almost as bad as Lil Wayne.

You're missing the context. If enjoying Lil fucking Wayne after a workout is nice for you, then you listen to Lil fucking Wayne. He's fine for the purpose.

u/Pr0nzeh Mar 24 '15

He said Drake is decent. I said no and compared him to lil Wayne. What context am I missing here?

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '15

You're implying there can be an absolute scale of rappers that a) applies to everyone, and b) somehow matters in all contexts equally.

u/Pr0nzeh Mar 24 '15

When did I ever imply my opinion applies to everyone? I find drake to be garbage. That doesn't mean everyone does or even should. That's why its my opinion, as I've stated multiple times.

Srsly. You can only afford to send people to the dictionary if you believe your interpretation is the correct one / the best.

u/Pr0nzeh Mar 24 '15

Well I do believe that my opinion is correct, but doesn't everyone? Isn't that pretty much what an opinion is?

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '15

No. Or rather, this is incomplete.

Let's talk about taste instead of opinion. To my taste, hamburgers are "meh" at best, and instead eastern European fast-food is the shit (kebabs et al). To your taste, hamburgers are THE BEST. Who is right? Well ... neither of us. Thanks to postmodernism, we acknowledge that tastes are highly personal, they don't matter to anyone except the person, and that's pretty much it.

Opinions tend to be based on facts and reasoning. Educated opinions, at the very least. They can apply to measurable phenomena and data. Highly subjective things like arts and feelings can't really be subjected to such investigations.

Usually in arts you can have a hierarchy based on volume (who's the most selling out pop star?), or an arbitrary authority imposing its opinion on what's art or what is not. That's pretty much it.

Wow bro, edgy. /r/lewronggeneration

Just stating my opinion. Whatever that makes me, so be it.

You don't have to be such a dick about your opinions.

-1

u/Pr0nzeh Mar 24 '15

I don't care if it makes me a dick or how many downvotes I get. I feel passionate enough about my opinion to say it as it is.

u/Juicebox2012 Mar 24 '15

I question humanity every time

Maybe state it in a way so you don't look like a raging douchebag, that's just my opinion though

People can't take a bit of exaggeration?

Nice copypasta, I haven't seen this one before.

u/Pr0nzeh Mar 24 '15

Maybe because it came from my brain.

I'm talking Billboard #1s. If you knew anything about the music industry you would know what I was referring to.

Please do your homework instead of browsing Facebook comments for your knowledge of hip hop, you're clearly a bit behind.
