Well, honestly, the physicality is definitely part of the performance. It's almost like a kind of dance. I own several of their albums, and while I enjoy them, they're not even close to as good as...

I think that may actually be the divide here. I absolutely love percussion and am perfectly happy listening to music which is entirely percussion, while it sounds like you're much more focused on...

But it does seem to be the fact that they are words rather than simply sounds that bothers you though, since other non-melodic components of the music, such as drums, don't seem to bug you at all....

So is it the words themselves that you find distracting or is it just that you don't like percussion in general to be the focus? Can you enjoy an instrumental song where the drumming is the focal...

It looked like you did, but I'll take your word for it.


I'm curious, are you opposed to people making rhythmic sounds with their mouths, even if those sounds are not words? Would you object to...

I never said you did. I was just responding to the fact that you seemed to be equating "simple" with "primitive" here:

You're right that it is used that way colloquially in hip hop circles, but that's not what the word "beat" means in a general musical sense. The beat is what you bob your head to, it's simply the...

But basslines are comprised of notes, unlike hits on a hi-hat. And melodies are made of notes.

I wasn't saying that minimalism is what makes it postmodern, I was responding to your claim that minimalism is somehow "primitive". What makes it postmodern is the way it deconstructs popular music...

I've heard hip hop described as the first truly postmodern form of popular music—that's not something I'd describe as a regression. Minimalism isn't somehow more "primitive" than maximalism and...

Your mother sounds like Ice Cube? Damn. :laughing:

For me, he's a pretty fantastic rapper, or at least he was in his heyday, and he definitely takes me to another place when I listen to him.
