Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

This week we ranked the 10 best Brand New songs and April’s best metal songs. We gave a pop history of “Tom’s Diner” and talked to the Jesus And Mary Chain. We recommended new releases from Mew and DVS, and heard 20 other new albums that mostly aren’t out yet. And we learned a lot about OK Computer in an oral history chock full of facts (#TidalFacts). Get well soon Joni, B.B., and Weiland. You best and worst comments from the past 7 days are below.

THIS WEEK’S 10 HIGHEST RATED COMMENTS

#10 Knives and Violence | Apr 27th Score:23

Tidal did everything wrong from the start. If they really wanted to promote the every-man musician, they should’ve had those people on stage with them when they launched the streaming service — possibly even giving them a spotlight to discuss how, if Tidal were successful, it would impact their life. Instead, they had rich artists playing grab-ass. As everyone can see, that didn’t sit well with the average music lover. At this point, it really doesn’t matter what Tidal and its investors/owners do at this point. They’re just digging themselves and their brand deeper in a hole. Even Kanye seems to realize this…

#8 raptor jesus | Apr 26th Score:24

“Tidal is where artists can give their fans more without the middlemen.”

Isn’t Tidal the middleman?

#6 Bol_Wan | Apr 24th Score:25

Funny thing is, she also got a lot of downvotes. So the whole thing basically ended up as a break even endeavour

I finally understood 311 truth after my Grandfather played Come Original backwards for me on Thanksgiving. I cried. Then he said “No be chill.”

#1 Max the King of All Wild Things | Apr 30th Score:35

A red light goes off, sirens echoing across marbled floors. As the warm glow washes over him in rhythmic pulses, Jay-Z clears his throat. He picks up the phone.

THIS WEEK’S 5 LOWEST RATED COMMENTS

Wait. They free’d Earl?

Oh, that’s right, I stopped giving a shit in 2010, back when rape-rap stopped being cool.

Zaldino French | Apr 28th Score:-18

This great. Glenn Beck is a natural entertainer and very smart man. Hopefully WK helps give him more promotion. Love this!

#3 stereogummer | Apr 29th Score:-20

Wow, more privileged white people striking down on a Person of Colour with their institutional racism. A person of colour does not have the ability to be racist or misogynistic, misogyny is a result of being of a race of institutional power + bigotry, something only white skinned people are capable of.

Hip-Hop is an expression of oppression from the institutional racism against black men in society, the “misogyny” from rappers such as Kanye West, Chief Keef, Drake, Tyler the Creator is because of their growing up in the slums of America which was a result of People of Colour often having to grow up in bad areas.

Duncan Hosie is a heteronormative privleged cis white male who is trying to silence the voice of a strong black man.

#2 Zayin | Apr 29th Score:-28

Some Blind Chick: “I think I got the new Taylor Swift album!”
*Puts on CD*
As they drive away from the mall: “What the heck is this?!?”
*Immediately gets in horrible car accident because blind chicks that still buy CDs at the mall should not be allowed to drive cars*
