IS THAT WHAT HE SAYS??

HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND THAT

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-03 04:50:47

I listen to a lot of Gucci Mane, glam metal falsetto is nothing for me.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-03 04:58:51

I mean in all seriousness hip-hop lyrics tend to be under-enunciated and usually on purpose since they're meant to more clearly mimic how people actually talk, and there's often a layer of artistic abstraction on top of that (more than one if you're listening to like Busdriver or someone).

If I can understand something like fucking "Speedom"

quickly-sung pop metal isn't that hard for me.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-03 05:02:01

no do listen to that song though because it's fucking awesome and the only good thing Eminem's been involved with since the start of the decade.

Obā-san · 2016-07-03 05:02:56

that reminds me of the time i absolutely baffled several people in my high school chemistry course by being able to understand the lyrics in a death metal song

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-03 05:05:11

the original "Worldwide Choppers" is also a great one for impressing people who don't listen to vocally challenging music.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-03 05:08:28

that sounds snobbier than I intended it to.

eriophora zia · 2016-07-03 05:16:36

I've always had trouble being able to hear words in even non-challenging songs. It's been a theme ever since I was a child. I've gotten better about it, definitely, but in a lot of music the words tend to blend together into texture for me.

It's not a bad thing, but it does mean I end up googling lyrics perhaps more often than the average person when I just absolutely can't puzzle them out, but would like to know what they say.

I'm the sort of guy who likes subtitles on everything. Vocal comprehension has never been my strong suit

same?

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-03 07:39:21

I think vocal comprehension being my strong suit is one of the reasons I like hip-hop so much.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-07-03 14:33:14

I saw a guy perform this at a bar karaoke night to absolute perfection not too long ago. I was literally in awe.

I feel like my lyric comprehension ability is curiously mixed. I mean, there are some situations where I'll see people transcribe a lyric as something that I know is completely off even if I can hear how they got there, but then there are other places where I just have no idea what a lyric is despite the fact that it's reasonably clear in the mix and not tragically enunciated.

same?

i want to clarify that i like subtitles because im easily distracted, so i have backup on things people are saying

Obā-san · 2016-07-03 18:15:12

oh anyways i have listened to this song for the very first time, and i have to say it was in desperate need of a nightcore-ing

good thing the internet has me covered on that

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-04 00:55:54

we live in a wild world

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-07-04 00:59:47

Hearing that, I'm thinking having a particularly hyperactive and flamboyant soprano sing that sped up version would be fucking extraordinary.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-04 01:04:46

but Justin Hawkins is a hyperactive and flamboyant soprano.

Tachyon · 2016-07-04 02:01:48

i'm fairly sure vocal comprehension isn't my strong suit either

i've tried to get better at it, but my hearing isn't that great, so that doesn't help

Tachyon · 2016-07-04 02:02:27

actually i think i've gotten worse, despite my efforts

like when i was little i used to be really good at hearing and memorizing song lyrics, nowadays i always have to google them

I mean a ladyperson.

Justin Hawkins is Freddy Venus.

It's a shame Freddy Mercury has so thoroughly overshadowed the rest of the Freddy Scouts

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-07-09 00:46:37

Who are the Outer Freddies?

Salix Babylonika · 2017-08-07 11:04:10

THERE'S A CHANCE WE CAN MAKE IT NOW

KEEP ON RUNNIN' TIL THE SUN GOES DOWN

No comments about how the music video for this song was basically softcore tentacle porn?

Yarrun XIX · 2017-08-08 19:09:25

What isn't these days?
