Kendrick Lamar

It gets dicey when you start comparing modern artists with classics

Dude, I wasn't attacking you. My original comment was tongue-in-cheek. And that statement in parentheses was only answering the questions you asked.

Outside of niche music criticism sites like BEA and RYM, they have tons of fans, and XXXTentacion in particular did very well on the charts. So in the grand scheme of things, liking their music doesn't indicate that you don't fit in with popular opinions, even though that may be the case for this specific website.

No worries. And by not fitting in with the popular opinion, I mean this site and RYM. I didn't see it as an attack, but many people have stated that I have a "wrong opinion" whereafter calling me names and everything. You didn't, so it's all good. Normally I don't care how artists are doing on the charts, but X definitely deserved it.
#LLJ

The number of 89 (44 and 45) is not exact. It's just around that. For Hopsin it would be fx:

2 songs on Emerge
1 song from Gazing At The Moonlight
12 songs on Raw
18 (all) songs on Knock Madness - although that album is very very debatable in terms of perfection...
3 songs on Pound Syndrome
11 songs on No Shame

= 47. It actually was over, as of how I remember

For XXXTentacion:

10 songs on Free X - a lot of the rest, comes really close though.
11 (all) songs on 17 - although I call the album imperfection in my description on my overall chart. Both this and Knock Madness can be stated that all songs (for me) is 10/10
8 songs on ?
15 songs on run (a mixtape I made of all his "past masters")

= 44.

That's how I thought about it, at the moment. But yea, it's a little weird how many perfect songs they've made, imo.

For me personally i have 3 answers
The Beatles
Prince
and Buddy Holly

Prince may benefit here from having a large vast of musical output. While not all of it is perfect. Such a large amount of it is perfect that it fits this criteria for me

The Beatles here for me benefit with writing and performing really good pop songs and evolving with that

Buddy Holly unfortunately did not live to see a long and prosperous career. But what he sent shockwaves to me and to almost every band succeeding him.

This is a complicated question, I might just explore my collection to get a correct answer, but intuitively I would say Dylan.

Radiohead - All of OK Computer and In Rainbows, most of Kid A, three songs on The Bends, four on Amnesiac, two on HTTT

Kendrick: Hiiipower, Most of GKMC, all of TPAB, probably two on untitled, unmastered, four-five on DAMN

No perfect weezer songs? :(

SHit, you're right.

Blue: 8 (plus three b-sides)

Pinkerton: 10 (plus three b-sides)

Green: none (Although two b-sides are perfect imo: The Christmas Song, Teenage Victory Song, and Burning SUn is close)

Maladroit: 2

Make Believe: no

Red: 2 (plus three bonus songs)

Raditude: LOL

Hurley: 3

EWBAITE: 3, counting Futurescope Trilogy as one song (plus two unreleased songs Everybody Needs Salvation and Caveman)

White:3

PD: No

Sorry but I don't really understand what you're trying to say here???
Am I edgy? Are they bad artists? Is it wrong to say the two have made a collection of perfect tunes?
I'm not offended, I just don't get your comment...

I have no idea how edgy of a person you are, but thinking those two artists have 89 perfect songs is an edgy opinion.

Looking at the formal definitions of edgy now, I see the common internet usage of the word is not listed, so perhaps that is a source of confusion. I meant a spicy/provocative/unpopular opinion, often vocalized for the purpose of bait.

(I do think it's a wrong opinion and they're bad musicians, but that's not what I was saying.)

That just goes to show my carefreeness of not fitting in with the "popular opinions" 😄 . And yes, many people have attacked me over the years just by liking these two particular artists 🙄 . Hopsin and XXXTentacion are two of my favorite rappers, that has helped me through a lot, but also opened my eyes, and made spectacular music that still stands tall 😮 .
My opinion can be as wrong as possible, I'm still gonna stick with it, 'cause it is mine after all. But I don't really see it as edgy though. :-k

Whoa those are really high numbers. Interesting how some of us see so much perfection in music and others see hardly any.

I would agree that 1, 3, 4, 6, and 8 made one or more perfect songs, but I don't know about the rest of the list. Yeah it might be edgy of me to say that 5 & 12 combine for zero perfect songs, but not as edgy as saying 9 & 10 combine for 89, right? :wink:

For me, it wasn't perfection (mostly because I think that's a bogus reality), rather I find them hitting all the points of a great "pop" song (especially when talking rap/pop/rock) like most of these lists are addressing - solid musical performances which tantalize the mind and move the heart and properly reflect humanity. For me there are likely thousands of songs that do that in fantastic ways if we gave them the chance.

Or maybe I'm a pleb. One or the other I'm sure of it. 🤣
