Did I find that offensive? Is that a joke?

He's aight. He benefits from being played next to Luke Brian and other shitty bro pop country.

No, he's just unbelievable. Go listen to the Steeldrivers.

I'm not a country guy, but his live show in Nashville was one of the better shows I've been to. And I go to A LOT of music shows all over the place.

I mean Bruno's music is more pop than anything else. So I completely agree that he has a wider audience. With that being said, the album itself was just okay imo.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy his music and his voice is incredible.

I'm not numb. 80's hair bands had worse shite on stage.

This is not a new phenomenon.

You could say this on the surface level of any genre of music.

True - but back to my point - let's take a popular example "hair metal" a passing phase that lasted about a decade - dominating airways of the 1980s, taking advantage of MTV's visual element to push a cartoonish vision of hard rock mixed with pop melodies and hooks.

But, man, most of those guys could play. So, it was well done rubbish. Like the early days of hip-hip/rap - I never really warmed up to the genre (surprise, right?), but I found things to like. Dre, in particular, must have had similar taste in rock, R&B, funk and soul as I did growing up because I find the guys he was working with/associated with very listenable, plus his own stuff - particularly his solo work right after NWA (and even some of their songs) - primarily The Chronic, "some" of Marshall's stuff and "some" of Snoop's stuff. Plus, Tupac and then occasionally I will hear something I like - and some examples are Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino for cats who are more current.

I never liked Jay-Z (that one song he did with Beyoncé was aight) - I never liked Kanye.

So, that makes me a racist according to some.

I think the others you listed were just OK as well.

Bruno has a few great songs on there though. I think moreso than the others.

And personally aside from where I think this album ranks, I think he's one of the most talented guys alive when you look at his repertoire. He can do it all, and he's cool AF.

Obviously this isn't really part of his music, but he's the best dancer since MJ. Dude moves smoother than mercury on a glass table.

Yep. His shows are a whole performance. Fantastic entertainer.

He produced for years before releasing his own stuff. Helped Jay z put out one of his best albums ever.

I cannot understand the love for Donald Glover. Seriously what is his appeal?

Have you seen him act? Ever watch an episode of 30 Rock? Or Atlanta? Have you listened to his albums or mixtapes?

Generally curious what you see in him that makes you say, “That guy right there. He should have no appeal to anyone. Why does anyone like him?”
