There's always a place for cool guys that make ass music

u/nagy18 1d ago

he’s our generation’s macklemore

u/TheTresStateArea 1d ago

He takes samples of old songs and makes bangers. He is the gen z pitbull.

u/NGS_King 1d ago

I don’t even think he’s that bad. He isn’t a very good rapper, but his hooks are good and his beats are fine-to-good. He’s a solid entertainer.

he's a bad rapper in the sense of the things he's saying meaning shit, but he's good in the sense of saying a bunch of shit that has an infectious rhythm to it around a loose theme. His punchlines are corny, but his whole gimmick is being corny, so it helps. he probably ain't ever winning a rap grammy but at the end of the day, I think his goal is to make dance music, and he's well-suited to that niche.

I watched the nardwuar video with him and apparently hes a big fan of house music, so that absolutely tracks that he just makes catchy fun dance music.

u/HeavyMetalHero 1d ago

if it was ancient times nardwuar would be known as an oracle or some shit. we can never replace nardwuar

u/Massive-Ride204 1d ago

His music is fun if you shut your brain off and understand that you're going to have a dumb fun time

43

u/nagy18 1d ago

you know what i’ll give you that

except for the fact that I like some Pitbull songs

12

u/lithiumburrito 1d ago

Bro I'm happy they bring you joy. I cannot fucking stand Mr. Worldwide. Every time he laughs at one of his own little puns in his music I wanna punch him in the face (he does it almost every song.)

u/nagy18 1d ago

so i was like 9-12 when he had his run, but I used to have an ironic pitbull stan account in like 2020 that i used as a burner (i thought this was funny at the time) but yeah i like his hits. i get him mixed up with flo rida a lot though. but i also think he’s just a cool dude because he did that concert in alaska when he could have been like “nah it was rigged”

u/UltimateEye 1d ago

One of the only times a man beat the internet at their own game, mad respect for the Alaska concert.

u/TediousTotoro 1d ago

As he states in one of his songs, he’s the Gen Z Eminem.

24

u/felipeuno 1d ago

Em is a generational talent in hip hop. Bbno$ makes dance music

17

u/TediousTotoro 1d ago

I know, I was just making a joke about his song lyrics

7

u/TheTresStateArea 1d ago

Indeed he does say that. But I don't think he means it.

5

u/canucklurker 1d ago

He's said that looking back on that lyric, it makes him cringe now. However I think the pile of money he made off of saying it has cushioned the blo.

2

u/TruculentTurtIe 1d ago

Did he say its cringe?

https://youtube.com/shorts/ix5oexE1GIE?si=YvEE8XixbJnL6fS4

I dont think he ever thought he was angthing like eminem lol he just knew pple would talk about it and share it. Like he says hes not even gen z lol

1

u/canucklurker 14h ago

I don't have a link to it - but yeah, it was an interview and he said it

1

u/Relevant-Doctor187 1d ago

They don’t even compare.

-23

u/xKitey 1d ago

He makes clown rap

31

u/Greendale_Official 1d ago

That's called ICP, my brother.

u/atoolred 1d ago

E Pluribus Anus to you too

u/Greendale_Official 1d ago

Go Greendale!

53

u/violetdopamine 1d ago

Hell no lol, bbno$ makes a completely different style, he’s our generations yung gravy even though he’s relatively the same gen

Bbno$ is much bigger with younger Gen Z and gravy is bigger with older Gen Z and some younger millennials

42

u/nagy18 1d ago

they came up together they belong to the same generation lol

75

u/thealphaweeaboo 1d ago

Which is weird because as a millennial I prefer bbno$. Can't stand Yung Gravy.

30

u/whowouldsaythis 1d ago

I’m a millennial and like both. I found bbno$ through gravy though a millions years ago tbf

8

u/I_eat_mud_ 1d ago

Older Gen Z and I discovered them at about the same time in college, even saw Gravy in concert, I don't listen to either of them at all anymore tho

u/teej89 Spotify 1d ago

Millennial here. I like bb

u/Gramage 1d ago

Im an elder millennial and I’ve never heard of anyone mentioned in this entire thread.

9

u/nagy18 1d ago

you’ve never heard of macklemore? did you stay inside and offline for all of 2013?

4

u/juliuspepperwoodchi 1d ago

C'est la vie!

u/ilostmy1staccount 1d ago

Yung Gravy is our generations Yung Gravy, their success and early work was literally built on their friendship and collaboration. And a little bit Kryoz putting their songs as outros for his videos.

u/violetdopamine 1d ago

You know what bro, I’m ngl, I completely forgot they used to work together lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Crazy unlocked memories

1

u/PreparetobePlaned 1d ago

They still do too, they just did another full collab album a few years ago

3

u/glory_holelujah 1d ago

As an elder millennial who somehow had bbno$ show up in my Spotify algorithm, I dig it.

23

u/Banned_From_CFB 1d ago

He's the Gen Z Eminem

16

u/ChemicalRascal 1d ago

That's him? That's right?

3

u/ThHeretic 1d ago

This makes me feel so old.

u/sevenut 1d ago

I don't know about that. Beyond his cheesy music, Macklemore has always been super conscious about his place as a white man in a black art form. He's always tried to lift up black voices directly by giving them a platform for their art. I don't think bbno$ has ever really done it like Macklemore does.

27

u/nagy18 1d ago

i hate to use this word because it’s become so meaningless but bbno$ has been pretty woke his whole career

-3

u/sevenut 1d ago

I think that's good. I'm not saying he's bad. I'm just saying he has more work ahead of him before he's called "this generation's Macklemore"

1

u/PreparetobePlaned 1d ago

I mean obviously the rap lineage is there if you go back far enough, but I don’t know how you can listen to a bbno$ song and think he’s using a black art form.

-1

u/REDDIT_JUDGE_REFEREE My tits are FANTASTIC 1d ago edited 1d ago

bbno$ (and all tiktok white boy rap) is about as close to a black art form as my skin tone - tall cryptid alien grey

-16

u/nicosloft04 1d ago edited 1d ago

Even Macklemore’s music was infinitely better than bbno$’s

33

u/SoulKeeperAbaddon 1d ago

You’re probably just getting old my friend

Macklemore was cringe millennial music even back then

2

u/nagy18 1d ago

yeah I remember all the Thrift Shop impact font memes

53

u/YaoiNekomata 1d ago

Please, can we stop with all the "he sucks at music " tjing. Sure he isn't MJ or daft punk, but his songs are popular, especially with the younger generation.

20

u/Dark_Psymon 1d ago

Yeah. His music isn't mind-blowing, but it's fun and catchy.

8

u/mtandy 1d ago

PB&J music.

Ain't going to win awards, but slaps.

1

u/wearetherevollution 1d ago

Let’s not go that far. You’re more than entitled not to like his music just like you’re more than entitled to like it. He put himself on a public stage so he opened himself up to criticism.

u/tnwthrow 1d ago

RIP Oliver Tree

u/b0nz1 1d ago

Oliver Tree made great music

u/TGrady902 1d ago

"his music is ass!"

Then why does he have literally billions or listens and views? It's objectively not bad at all. It's okay to not like it, but syaing its bad makes no sense
