    Hey Anthony, I was the guy who said that you should review "underrated" and "underappreciated" albums for classics week. Sorry I didn't really clarify what I was trying to say. What I meant was, that maybe you should review albums that many other musicians have labled as influental, that are not well known to the general public. Many artists have labled "Witchcraft Destroys Minds" by Coven, "Society is a Shit" by Pop Music Team, and "Psychic, Powerless, another Mans Sac" by the Butthole Surfers as huge inpiration for them. These albums are not as well known to the public as "Sgt. Pepper" or "Pet Sounds" but are still as influental to the many genres that may have come out of them. I hope you read this and see what I meant.

    • @martimpardal
      @martimpardal Před 5 lety +6

      At least with artists like Lennon I enjoy their music, but I can also admit that they were pieces of shit. I don't think it's always so black and white as "this party only hate on musicians they don't like but won't say anything about artists they do like" because it's not necessarily true.

      You and others that think like you are the reason why Vic made the statement that he did. XXX did some fucked up shit, that was even placed in the public eye, and nothing really came of it. Part of the reason is because when you admire someone for whatever reason you tend to ignore or downplay their wrong doings. It also seems like people expect celebrities to do a certain amount of fucked up shit, and that within a certain threshhold its ok. This is not ok, whenever you see someone fucking up, or doing fucked up shit, you need to have the strength of character to call them on it and stand by your own priniples. Lets say your barber gave amazing haircuts, but you found out he abuses his spouse. Would you say "Well...he got my fade looking right though!"? Its the same concept, and this is the reason why he said something.
      Even more to his point is the knee jerk reaction, like fantano's in this video, to chalk it up to Vic trying to ride the wave of hype about XXX's death. There is literally no proof of that, and its a reaction born of the fondness or admiration felt for XXX, which is exactly Vic's point. To discern why anyone does anything short of their own honest admission, or something to read their mind, its impossible to know why anyone does anything. As far as anyone aside from Vic knows, he very well may have done it to bring more attention to the bias that we show celebrities. As far as anyone aside from Vic knows, he very well may have done it to gain more popularity for himself. Unless you are a mind ready, you have no idea. That being said, the conclusion that you reach is a very direct window into your bias about the subject. Do you immediately jump to his defence, saying that the real story is how Vic is using this to chase popularity, or do you admit that maybe you, and his other fans, took too much of his shit because you like his music?
      "Oh hey, did you guys know that XXX did this or that messed up thing to someone? Did you know he likes to punch his fans in the face at his own concerts? Did you know that his music, his actions, and the consequences of his actions are all reaching the impressionable audience that his music is aimed towards?"
      Fans: "Thats all oppurtunistic reporting, or ankle biters, trying to come after him because he made it big. That stuff doesn't matter, he makes great music that I like."
      What kind of fucked up logic is this? Its a problem that pervades the entire industry. The people that make the music are marketing to an audience that seems to expect certain behaviors and themes from the artist and their music. You have to be "hard," get bitches, do drugs, sell drugs, handle guns and use them to pop off on niggas that step out of line. And there are plenty of artists who are more than happy to fill that niche because their is money and fame if they can pull it off, even more so if they can make the right spectacle of themselves along the way. The idea that "thats just how rap and hip hop artists are" is so far removed from the reality, but its the type of entertainment that people expect from an industry thats dominated by black men.
      XXX and other rappers that happily dance along to this tune aren't doing themselves, the industry, or black men (or women, given the things they say in their lyrics a lot of the time) any favors. Instead of people constantly defending XXX just because they like his music they need to look at his actions and his music as the seperate issues that they are.

    My issue is when people demonize abusers even though they are attempting to change their behaviour and do good in their own life and for society (ie. X, Ameer Vann). It’s one thing to be continuously abusive and not care about it but it’s another to recognize it and change for the better. Talents don’t forgive actions but I think they can help redeem a person who was abusive in the past and I think letting self aware abusers do that is a good step forward for society. Abuse isn’t controllable as much as it is isn’t forgivable. People don’t always WANT to do bad things but they do. I think the chance to own up for it in a positive way is better than death or a prison cell (depending on the person and severity of the crime).

    I thought it was pretty obvious that Vic doesnt give a shit about women and only went after X for publicity. No one listens to his music so he does publicity stunts so people start talking about him. He did the same thing not too long ago when he tried to start beef with 6ix9ine.
    Vic waited until X died to say anything about his allegations. If he truly cared about women, he would've spoke against X when the stories came out in 2016 instead of keeping quiet until 2018 when X is dead and cant defend himself.
    Also, as many people have stated Vic is a hypocrite of the highest degree. He has openly admitted in interviews and songs that he strangled his girlfriend. So what we have here is a COMFIRMED woman beater trying to suck clout from a dead person who MIGHT have abused a woman. Very gross when you think about it.

(AND she WROTE all those songs herself as well BTW!) I am a fan of Whitney too of course, but SHE was the one who had a more workman, slightly removed approach to singing.
