my god you're literally that white guy listening to mos def and kendrick. vibing with the black american experience from your boardrooms in brussels.

i like a lot of rap and hip-hop, for sure, but it's definitely not in my top5 listened-to genres. and i don't go on and on in a cringe-making fashion about how black rapper x is the 'voice of a generation' or whatever. you are definitely a type, like the college-grad whiteboi in the 1990s who was really into 'conscious hip-hop' because it's 'intelligent' man, and a 'commentary'. none of that gang-banger shit!

that eurodance song is horrendous shit but it's pretty much what i'd expect a normie to listen to. it has that same sidechained kick drum sound that you will find in every single EDM song made since about 2013. with the white noise washes and transitions. wow! certainly not bored of hearing that!

the irony is that you talk derisively about 'elevator music', but the dance music you link is literally the stuff that gets licensed for mobile phone adverts, or the stuff that gets pumped into changing rooms in shopping malls, etc. it's just the very height of inoffensive, mildly catchy generica.

bob dylan won a nobel prize for literature. he's a great songwriter but i don't see the nobel was relevant or means anything. i don't put too much stock in prizes, that's a bit of a fool's sport.

'people pleaser'. well there's people and there's people. you belong to a normie tribe who evidently loves dancing to novelty songs and thinking you're terribly au fait. probably queuing at a bar in some suburb of brussels to buy your third pint of peroni or something. definitely wearing stone-washed jeans. possibly moccasins or boating shoes. 'haha, ja, this song is ZO funny!'

On the surface this would be a true statement, but like in the case of Bob Dylan the prizes came as both artists produced songs that impacted society like meteors. Dylan was hugely influential too

I don't see what's wrong with being a white european guy who listens to thoughtful american rap though. At the very least it does lift the veil into the experience of a people on the other end of the atlantic. Would you rather I was ignorant of it and restricted myself to Bach and the black keys?

It's not like I'm some wigger type who adopts hiphop as an identity.

At least he has a message unlike ur trash that sounds like a slinky was used as a musical instrument

going by ur sappy texts you aint the best yourself!

why would i write in prolix king's english to a korean person, you idiot? i work as a fucking editor for a publishing house. i have a top-honours degree and a masters with distinction in literature, completed on a full-pass scholarship. i can compose a sentence of florid and purple prose, moron.

what's it like being the square root of normalcy? imagine thinking that bob dylan is the most relevant, interesting, worthy writer in literature today, and one worthy of a nobel prize. imagine hating 'bleepy bloopy computer music' and thinking dj tiesto 'goes hard'. imagine guffawing at dumb, dopey comedy dance songs and thinking it's just 'awsm' cause you get the joke.

i honestly, sincerely mean it when i say that you are the most normal person i have ever met. even your anecdotes are piss. 'i met a guy when travelling and we had a bromance'. jesus christ. did your parents split you from a plank of wood in order to beget you?

i know, about as juvenile and 'boy's school' as listening to tiesto and being larssen.

You have to call it something dumb like that or people will think you're gay

Tell that to finn and poe
