{Spoiler}
1. Who is Greater? Beatles, Queen, or Michael Jackson?
It allows you to discuss fame, influence on other artists, different time periods, etc.
2. Is Eminem Really That Good?
Gets you to talk about how the media influences public opinion, ideas of race in hip-hop, what makes a rapper skilled, etc.
3. Does Taylor Swift Truly Belong in Pop Music?
You can talk about genres, what constitutes pop music, what happens when you have a musician that does different genres, ideas of popularity/identification and their impact on music.
4. Was Jay Zs Black Album really that big?
Here, you can talk about how an album is put together, what makes an influential album, impact of the album on the genre, notions of fame, what makes a masterpiece, how long it takes for something to be considered a classic, etc.
5. Insane Clown Posse: Geniuses or Not?
You can talk about what constitutes musical genius, what happens when a fringe act is incredibly popular, image in music, concept albums, outsider music, promotion.
6. Kendrick Lamar vs Macklemore - Who REALLY deserved the Grammy?
You can talk about what one has to do to deserve a grammy. Is it body of work or individual song? Is it cultural impact or musical prowess? Talk about what it means overall and why other people won this year and why others did not.
7. Would Aaliyah or Lisa Lopes still be going strong if they were alive?
You can speculate on how they would sound, what styles they would incorporate, if they would continue to make music, if they would do something else like acting, who they would work with, etc.
8. Can We Ever Forgive Chris Brown?
Gets into ideas of fame, of what we tolerate from our musical idols, ideas of what forgiveness is (if the victim forgives, do we still reserve the right not to), our notions of violence in relationship, the strange phenomenon of fans saying that they'd let him hit them, etc.

The first four are the only ones that really appeal to me. I'm always up for bashing Taylor Swift. Chris Brown I couldn't give a f*** about. And the last two I have no opinion on. I don't even know who the guys in eight are. |

{Spoiler}Would Aaliyah or Lisa Lopes still be going strong if they were alive?
I thought about this on the ten year remembrance of Aallyah's death. I think she would have done big things with acting, but her musical career wouldn't be so sweet. Being an R&B star is hard and it's that much harder, if you're an adult. Just look at Brandy and Monica. Their focus has shifted from music to acting and crime science. I think Left Eye would be doing lot of behind the scenes stuff if she was still alive.
Can We Ever Forgive Chris Brown?
Forgiveness isn't owned, so if you don't want to do it, don't do it. Everything about him screams f*** boy and I don't suffer f*** boys.
Is Eminem Really That Good?
I think Eminem is a great rapper when straight up spitting is his priority. I've gotten board of thirsty ass I must shock you Eminem or DX Eminem.
Does Taylor Swift Truly Belong in Pop Music?
Yeah...Swift's music always sounded like pop music to me. Swift and her people don't have to waste time trying and failing to make her music sound like country music.
Was Jay Zs Black Album really that big?
Nope, Especially if you compare it to any his of Blueprint CDs.
Insane Clown Posse: Geniuses or Not?
Nope, enjoy them at your own risk.
Who is Greater? Beatles, Queen, or Michael Jackson?
I like Queen the best out of the three choices. |
