LET'S ARGUE: The Genius Verified Series Is Annoying 

"What does lean mean?"

@MagnusMunch because trash rappers get them the most views

@@scottdaniels7534 its prescription strength cough syrup with other stuff to get you to "lean" totally not worth it, Google DJ Screw.

uwu

MagnusMunch Genius almost certainly doesn’t just pick those artists, it’s just that only really trash rappers who have potential to gain publicity through the meme of the verified series are the ones who agree to do them. Great rappers with substantive lyrics are probably getting hit up my Genius to do the interviews but probably just don’t want to do them.

liz m the accuracy of this comment

@Joe Wilschek yes

Deffo has short king energy

liz m fantano wasn’t created to reach the monstrous height of 5’8... needless to say 6 foot is wild for the melon, really shows the power of vegetables and hating on god tier rappers like nf and Eminem

He’s walked by me in person and it freaked me out how tall he was.

That doesn’t really make it less dumb. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s dumb I think it’s actually a great way at the start of your career of expressing “this album is who we are”. Just because the first ever person did it, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. It’d be like the leader of Germany in 1939 saying “hey it’s okay I’m doing this to Jews, they’ve been persecuted since the dawn of history so it must be a good idea”

McLovin McLovin it’s when an artist uses their name as the name of their album, usually their first. E.g (Gorillaz, Led Zepellin, LCD sound system)

Mary Mortos fuck Doja cat

Sleeping Boy I mean who wouldn’t? *laugh track*

Its the most popular one too

Mary Mortos That was honestly the beginning of the end when they cared more about memes and being viral than actually explaining deep or intricate tracks.

I love Doja and can honestly say I face palmed when I saw they asked her to break that down. The epitome of explaining a joke if I ever saw it.

It is definitely vegan wat r u speaking about

Ya see, they grow their free-range "pseudoephedrinellies" in non-gmo and mercury enriched plotting soil. That way it'll cut down on the complaints from all of them God damned Vegans.. them and their strange obsessive stances with Moby, Michael Stipe, Cher, David Bowie...etc...😕

@@ethereal6279 I think Genius makes sense with rap songs since those usually have references to other rappers or obscure stuff. Pop and rock songs however are just really self-explanatory.

I appreciate Matty from the 1975 explaining his stuff.

@singular on1 well there's something wrong with you as a person then,if you're going to get annoyed with something as meaningless as that

Some of them used to be funny. Now it's just a bunch of unknowns explaining their songs to people who don't give a shit.

The genius verified for Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" was literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen. "In Bad Guy Billie talks about being the bad guy"

So annoying

That's what they did with Bill Wurtz but his Verified video was pretty cool.

adel nassar yeah that was a goldmine of stupidity and it makes my day no matter what.

i remember that episode like 2/3 of the song wasn't even explained

Calvin Kron it’s unexplainable.

"Let's Agree" you mean.

Anthony should become a studio musician for his favorite rappers

The notion of Antwon making music is fascinating to me; he put out one Taiga album back in '08 or about then. His "discography" (mostly Cal stuff lol) is outlined in his Wikipedia page.

Then he needs to follow it up almost immediately with a deluxe edition of the album with extended tracks and bass solos that didnt make the original cut

Lets agree: scrambles is the best btmi record

@@yhetti64 Try again, it's Vacation then Adults

yeah that was pretty shitty of him to say

Lol it was clearly a joke.

@@trehebert9982 Yeah that's why this os extra funny lmao

He's been listening to too much Randy Newman lately

You could get in front of it though

Mecha-Kicks Metro U are my type of person lol

SHORT KING

I agree, I'm a 5ft person - however I also disagree with what Fantano is saying. There are so many times I've turned up to a venue super early, and have been near the front - only to find myself being pushed behind by a group of 6ft guys. It's so frustrating! The only venues where I've not had this issue are really small/intimate ones.

Of course you couldn't get behind, you'd be in the front

fred roberts is that the aussie guy because he’s annoying

only cause i played forza 3 and his song played 24/7

It would be like three years long

Of course since hes the best teeth in the game

What's even more tiresome is the guy was just a meme. Fair enough you can get fame and exposure from being shitty - the guy got his 15 minutes of fame. But maybe Genius don't have to feed into that even further, when there are actual musicians desperately trying to get their works out there. It's sort of like deliberately hiring someone incompetent just for the lulz, in favor of someone who actually worked their ass off and took the job seriously. All it does is validate this culture of clowny exhibitionism (no offense to the Floss dude personally though, he's just a kid)

Sarius Drake backpack kid**

Same, I commented somewhere on here but I'm 6"5 and have had people physically assault/yell at me and say I'm blocking their view. Literally nothing I can do about it and it doesn't make me feel good to deprive people of a show lol. If anyone just says "excuse me sir can I swap spots" I say sure no problem because I know that not everyone on the planet is freakishly large like me.

Jetsup my older brother is 6’6” and whenever we go to concerts we always end up super far away from each other due to how far back in the crowd he inevitably moves, I’m 5’11” myself and even at my moderately above average height people have gotten inexplicably mad at me for “ruining” their concert before even asking me to move

as 5'2 person, you're right

JakeEssReviews look up the song and see how most records of it have been decimated. It doesn’t even show up as a search suggestion and the uploader who has it up got demonetized a week or so ago

@@Thefakemattk Holy fucking shit you're actually right

Source link?

@@mdub302 Just search The Story of Adidon and see how much videos you have to sift through until you find the song. You literally find Duppy Freestyle before it on the search results.

HOLY SHIT

Except they wouldn't exist without OG Elvis Just something to think about

Jaimie Knox you can fix that by also putting your band name in the cover art

Boi if that ain't the dumbest mumbojumbo I ever heard. If your album's success hinges on that, then you need to shoot whoever designed the cover, and then shoot your entire demographic for being so stupid.

Opu Ofbengal Doja cat is also good to look at

I'll call my lawyer

My lawyer is on the phone

this isnt even a joke. he really said that in this vid

When will they learn

He says most of these kind of things in his videos

yeah, but the comment wasn't denying the importance and influence, it was simply stating that 80s hiphop sounds dated. and as much as I love a lot of the 80s shit, I have to agree with that. it sounds dated, it's not timeless.

Simon S. It’s timeless because of its influence. It Takes a Nation of Millions helped shape the idea of concept albums in hip hop. I’m very aware it’s sounds dated but it’s a time stamp in hip hop history that can’t just be pushed to the side because it sounds “dated”

Simon S. I’m bouta kick your ass Straight Outta Compton

HE THICCC

I’d say he’s a handsome man now, I mean fuck, he’s grown

I mean he has the best teeth in the game. Ofc he's handsome.

A handsome

melon is love....melon...is life.

but that won't get as many clicks as whoever the rapper of the week is

Sad but true

Genius Frank Ocean would be tight if anyone could find out where he is

They actually got Nas a while back (IIRC their first verified artist), but they totally should again. Personally, the highlight of that sit down was this annotation right here: genius.com/3074336, because, one, I finally knew what the hell he was saying, and two, it was a really interesting piece of vernacular IMO.

Both are in the forefront of their genre, or were in Bob Marley's case

Lamb of god is trash, soooo.

It's annoying when the deluxe version is the only version out and I have to wikipedia the original tracklist so I know when to stop

And he didn't explain anything. And that clown actually started rapping the lyrics as he went on when they only reason why the people wanted to see that is so we could understand what he was saying

No way lol they used to only do deep songs

b m *hilarious*

it's almost all trash. aged awfully

abergs1125 I would call it trash, but it has not aged well

abergs1125 you do realize you’re the type of person I’m making fun of right ?

I feel where they're coming from. Metal and reggae are among the more "fuck Western domination. The ancient and everlasting corruption and greed by those in power is a major if not defining characteristics of seemingly polar musical palettes.

Kamron Isaiah Johnson haha smart take:)

Yep, that was easily one of the best takes I've ever seen him do. I've always been a fan of 80s hip-hop just because I'm older and I didn't necessarily grow up with it but I'm closer to it than a lot of people are. Anyway, I always chalked up me still being a fan of it to nostalgia but Anthony made some really amazing points on it and I'm about to dust off some Public Enemy, Eric B and Rakim, LL Cool J, all that dopeshit

Eh, I respect the craft but I think 80s hiphop sounds like booty.

80’s hip hop is terrible

Oliver Johnson better than modern mainstream hip hop though

Clout Lord What about the NWA?
