What’s a genius

 

[sonoftony]

So Drake really stressing over Jorja's box?!

Joe Budden had me like

after he broke it down

 

[Proposition Joe]

Once I saw _'s discrediting Dr Dre I left these "genius" discussions alone.

How does getting credit for other people’s composing just because you were the sound engineer and eq’d some bass on that record make you a genius?

I reserve the term genius for people who can write, arrange, compose, and play their own music. Prince, Quincy Jones, Zaytoven ....... Etc etc

There’s more examples

You might wanna do some research into what Dre does. The people that have worked with him have said he does way than that.

That's like saying Jay ain't **** cuz all he did was use Big's rhymes and ride waves.

 

[Proposition Joe]

Someone post a video of dr Dre composing

 

[aNYone]

Simply composing music makes one a musical genius?

 

[Magic33]

Today's logic

I like an album = classic
I like an artist = genius

That 2nd paragraph is a false equivalency, it’s also interesting considering one of dr Dre’s best songs came from the pen of Shawn carter

Nope, need to be able to do everything



Sorry guys, my standards for genius is just different, shrugs.

No it ain't.

What about Jay taking young Chris flow? Taking Give It To Me and Can I Get A?


We can do this nitpicking all day with anybody...

And that's why I leave the genius discussions alone. A lot of fans don't know what they are talking about.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Zaytoven is a genius

 

[Proposition Joe]

And that's why I leave the genius discussions alone. A lot of fans don't know what they are talking about.

Or the term genius can be up to ones interpretation of the word

 

[Proposition Joe]

Zaytoven is a genius

Of course he is

A lot of fans really don't know the work people put in and what goes into making records. They just base things on who they like and don't like.

He alright
not a genius though

Meant to post this forgotten Rap/R+B gem yesterday....

 

[Maximus Meridius]

That's true and it's also true a lot fans are clueless about what goes on in the studio and making albums finished products.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Genius level. Mans said they just showed up with no rehearsal and killed it

Yeah they was wilding with that. I prefer the audiomack/migos way but zay still was in his mode

 

[nawghtyhare]

undeniable hit

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

Stevie Wonder is another one.

I'd put Dre in the discussion but he has an asterisk since he's been accused of taking credit for other people's work multiple times.

 

[numbah1grimey]

Joe Budden had me like

after he broke it down

What box does drake NOT stress over??

He’s a grade A simp. That’s why women defend him so much. A lot of women like to have a guy that they can control. Smh

Had the same experience with "Bartender" not long ago.

 

[RIP sleazyy]

Tpain. Legend with no classics.

Some of his tracks got multiple decade long staying power.

 

[str8drop]

Crazy to think T-Pain is still just like 31-32
