<p><pre><code>  &gt; &gt; I&#x27;m biased against Hip Hop nowadays Congratulations: you know your
  &gt; biases. Overcome them. Because if you can&#x27;t draw a straight line
  &gt; between David Bowie and 808s and Heartbreak, that is on you.  But he&#x27;s
  &gt; &quot;arrogant&quot; (my, but the coded language, isn&#x27;t that interesting!), so
  &gt; that doesn&#x27;t matter I guess. Bowie was just a shrinking violet, right?

I don&#x27;t get what you mean about drawing a straight line ? you mean judging fair ? I admit it&#x27;s difficult to understand why I would say &quot;Let&#x27;s dance&quot; is good iconic music while West is tasteless Pfip Pop. And Let&#x27;s dance isn&#x27;t Bowie most beautiful music. I just discovered Space Oddity .. well.<p>I just heard &#x27;808s&#x27; and I quit before half. I never heard anything from West that was worth being arrogant that what I meant. Most of what I heard from him was just mundane flat post 2000s hip hop that I can&#x27;t bear anymore. It&#x27;s far from my definition of music, flat, processed, easy. It&#x27;s barely even music to my ears.
People should dig in Jazzy Jeff, Dilla, D&#x27;angelo then reflect on todays mainstream.
