People actually think MGK did rock well? I recall you yourself saying Emo Girl was trash. Personally I found it insulting. Whatever style he is trying to pull off in music or appearance isn't emo. The entire reason he even did that style in the first place was a pivot from his death at the hands of Eminem. Lace Up was a good album and ever since he was on a quick downward spiral.

Todd, I know you've 100% heard this hundreds if not thousands of times, but you are REALLY REALLY good at this Youtube thing! I'm just now finding your channel and I'm thoroughly entertained and engaged.

coming back to this one and like… truly what i don't get about anti-woke music is like. i show up and say "hi i'm transgender" and they freak out and make a whole song about how they hate me. and then… accuse ME of being offended???? how am i the offended one in this situation. "i'm the man who don't respect you" okay? why would i want your respect. genuinely why would i care

You cannot possibly put carnival over Ben Shapiro rapping and the worst Country Roads remix in history. 1/10 takes.

I rewatch this video sometimes, and everytime I do, I can't help but laugh at, "you all would have liked MGK's first rock album if he didnt suck before and after."
As if that album wasn't full of mediocre at best guitar playing and amazing lines like, "if I'm a painter I'd be a depressionist." Like I'm pretty sure he sucked in Tickets to My Downfall as well, he just sucked in a surprising way, and slightly less. Doesn’t help he immediately started talk shit to other, much better rock artists and bands, acting like he's been in the genre for more than a week. Dude was a major poser from day one lmao

Anyone intrested in discussing the possibilty of Kanye west beeing a nazi? I mean that genuinely. ill make a point you could answer.
First of, im german and im definitly not a Nazi. I think only germans (or more precisly people who would be included in the pseudoscientific concept of aryans) can be Nazis. In German there is a Term for people who identify themselves as Nazis, wich is Neo Nazi. To be fair, by personal observation, the terms seems to be fading out use, in most discussinons about far right activity in germany. I feel the urge to make the distinction, even tho im not sure its relevant to a more rational, and, imo, therefore more valuable confrontation with the dangers of right extremists. thats what im trying to reason with this arguement. Identifiyng as a National Socialist is inseperable to nazi ideology and the context of the time and place it appeared, since, if you interpret those words without this context, it would mean something different. What we associate with the Word Nazi is not socials ideas confined/focused on the Nation exercising them. its ideas of superiority of one (maybe more then one or eve tiered( im not big into nazipseudoscience and have not read "mein kampf")) ethnicity over others and the systematic, murders enforcement of that believe. + even more exagerateed racism in regards to judasim.
I think the reason i want to correct that assumption is based on a hunch that makes me think, using the term incorrectly (or inflationary) is harmful the dialogue. I think im comming to the conclusion, that the misuse of the Term is probably not a behaviour that hardens the fronts but an expression of the hardness of those fronts. Therefore the use of the expression "nazi keule" (wich means beeing assessed as for inadequate reasons, or because you might not be able to win the arguement on arguemntative base) might just be a rhetorical trick to disguise your real motivs…… nah fuck it. it might not be pressing but im sure there are easily impressionable people who dislike beeing compared to an, almost universally, internationaly, hated group, enough to be swayed into actual right extremists veiws, and go vote afd for that reason. ok i think i formed an opinion. I believe its harmful to missuse the term but not important enough to discuss the reason for most realistic scenearios in wich it comes up. But kanye west would probably not be accepted by people who identify themselves, right now, as Nazis, anyway. or if there are any, those people distort the meaning of the word into a meaning that is kinda meaningless to a real discussion.
ps.: im kinda baked and edited this shit back and fourth while accidentally deleting it in between. so im sorry if you read this, and cant even follow me. still open for answers if you interested tho.
pps.: i probably discussed this/or a similar arguement in school sometime. i really cant remember it tho.

I find it hilarious that after sucking at rap, sucking at pop-punk, and sucking at country, MGK has now pivoted to nu metal, and it turned out that he sucks at that one too

The only thing more on brand for Kanye than choosing famously racist Italian football ultras for his chanting is if he went for Lazio's instead of Inter's
