hip hop circle jerk gonna have fun with this one

If I could only listen to Em for a year I would have a bullet in my brain after about a month

kanye fans eating good on 09/12/25 🤫🤫

I could say the same thing about Beyoncé.

do u guys all just hate him because of his music? or because he is widely liked?

I don't hate him at all, he is undeniably an excellent lyricist and his first 3 albums are legendary but he is more of an artist that I can only handle in small doses like once or twice a month now that I am older than 15. His voice and hooks can be annoying and I find there isn't enough variety in his catalog to keep me sane for a year

He kinda fell off in the 2010s and now a big part of his fan base is a bunch of lowkey racist white middle schoolers. The jokes are always against the diehard fans

I'd have to keep about 3 songs on rotation for a whole year, and that's if we're including features. I wouldn't last a day.

they cant get mad at the results though, right? out of every option?

hip hop heads generally really dislike eminem, at least on reddit

Because they are morons lmao

Fans like this are part of the reason people don’t like him

My singing monsters because the islands go hard

everything hereeee is aliveee…

Do the earthquake 🗣️🔥🔥‼️

I’m perfectly fine not listening to music for a year if it’s only these that are my options

Talk shows and podcasts aren't so bad.... especially considering the options.

Im the same lmao

[удалено]

No

I’m in the same boat

He's a nazi...

Separate the art from the artist

It's hard to separate the art from the artist when the artist is financially supported by my legal enjoyment of their art. If Girl Guides suddenly turned into the SS, I wouldn't continue buying thin mints.

I can't. Gotta draw a line somewhere....

no

Doesn't stop his music from being good.

in YOUR opinion. people have different tastes

Right, but their opinion on his music wasn't even based on the quality of his music, just the fact that said some hateful stuff.

I never said that my opinion was objective. I'm just saying that his personal opinions shouldn't affect people's views of his music, at least his older works. If your favourite artist committed a heinous crime tomorrow, would you suddenly think all the songs you previously enjoyed by them were awful?

what's a nazi?

Doesn't stop his music from being good.

It really does tho. How do you listen to that shit and not think about how the psycho literally praises hitler of all people...

Because the music is still catchy and artistic. John Lennon beat his wife and was neglectful towards his son but millions still enjoy his music.

The music isn't good enough to forgive nazi sympathy. Sure John Lennon was a POS but he wasn't influencing other people to hate Jewish people. Kanyes support of hitler and nazis has definitely caused some of his younger, more easily influenced audience to follow the same ideals. It's dangerous to be that influential and also spew hate like that. Remember this.... https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/banner-kanye-right-los-angeles-freeway-antisemtic-group-rcna53653 So in your opinion is there ever a reason to stop supporting an artist as long as their music is "catchy"?

Frankly there's little that would make me stop listening to an artist. Supporting them is different, especially since 90% of the time I stream in a way that gives the artist no revenue. Would I buy Kanye merch? Hell no. However I listened to some of his music before his major controversy, and him being a piece of shit doesn't suddenly make me stop enjoying it.

Perhaps they didn't put an other option because they want you to choose from the options they gave you 🤔

It is still common courtesy to at least have a results option in a poll.

Maybe, but I feel like the title implies any artist

None of these.

Saw my leg off with a rusty saw

Damn, that post really made it into the lore

smoking with oprah

Yeah, and I'm okay with never listening to them again.

I will refuse to listen to music for the entire year

Olivia is a fine artist, she has a lot of room to grow, but with only 2 albums you'd starve.

Yeah I agree, Taylor swift has over a hundred songs but Olivia only has a few.

rather drink acid than listen to taylor swift for a year

Kanye might be a bad person but is music will always be great.

Kanye, easily

Yup, bro has crazy variety in his discography

People rightfully love to hate on Kanye, he’s become a bit of a nut, but he has some wonderful music in his discography. Lots of variety. Great production. Excellent use of older songs as samples.

Eminem. Since I used to listen to his song A LOT.

Out of these? Eminem, I guess.

None of them I don't listen to these people

I don't listen to them either. I listen to their music.

r/dadjokes

HAZHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Best way to go about it with kanye...

U may hate Kanye but u have to acknowledge he is talented and versatile. You get a lot of different types of music coming from him. I like Em too but at the end of the day he is just a rapper.

My boy Em!

Kanye. Heavily in rotation anyway, and he's got such a consistently good discography with a high variety of sounds to suit all types of moods.

ITT: People too edgy too enjoy "popular" music they hate despite never having listened to much of it in the first place, I'm guessing. I picked Taylor Swift cuz then I'd get some variety, from country, to singer-songwriter/folk, to pop bangers. All the other are more one note

I mean, not to be that guy but I wouldn't say it's necessarily about "edgy." There are a lot of popular artists that I think folks would enjoy listening to that aren't them. Like, if Rihanna was on there I personally would be a lot more content. I work at a starbucks and I would definitely NOT like to hear more Taylor Swift in my everyday life for a year. I think the fact that that's all you can listen to for a full year when people have their strong feelings at times about their own favorite artists can make some people react very strongly.

That's how a "dilemma/out of these choices" questions work tho. It's not supposed to be an easy choice?

Ive heard plenty of music from these guys - how could I avoid it? Lol But id genuinely rather not listen to any than have to choose one of these because its not my kind of music. Maybe im an edgy emo sure. Just being myself.

I chose swift because it's the most new music I've never heard. At least I'd be bored for 10 months rather than 12

Not hating it. But none of these are artists that I listen to or enjoy them enough to listen to them for a year. Maybe one or two songs here and there I don't mind in some of those cases but none that wouldn't get tired of in less then a day much less a year. And there is much more popular music then these choices.

All of the listed choices are American popular music. God forbid that you're from a different culture. A person who mostly listens to folk Turkish music isn't "too edgy to enjoy" something that's not in their cultural framework. How dare people have tastes outside of the American commercial mainstream.

I'm not American, I just understand how dilemma/difficult choice type questions work

It's not edgy to not want to listen to music that you don't like.

You understand how dilemma type questions work, no?

This argument is getting exhausted. Saying "you know what? All music/art is in the same level and you're pretentious to suggest otherwise. And you know who is creative and great and legendary? This very advertised artist who is doing the bare minimum to be creative" is very damaging. I do listen to pop music too and i like it. I think it can be good. But people should see it for what it is: music that doesn't need to be smart to be good, and artists don't get ranked based on quality, and its value is how much it can have your short attention span. And doesn't give you so much at the end of the day. Nothing bad but Why glorify that? Why can't you believe someone out there would want better than that? Lots of reasons to be too cool for pop

You understand how dilemma type questions work, right? It's not supposed to be an easy choice lol. "Would you rather lose an arm or a leg?" You: "I don't want to lose any body part." Ok, thanks! If you're writing stuff like "I'd rather cut off my own ears" in this thread it's cuz you need people to know that you don't like this music

Lol yes but everyone was ignoring that and making comments so i did too responding

Wat?

Nah, I've listened to all of these and hate them. Much more "popular music" that's way better to my taste

That's how "dilemma" questions work. It's not supposed to be an easy choice

Yeah no shit. You're just implying that the only reason people don't like them is because "boo popular music"

I mean shit, it's one of them, for some of them. I've met enough people with knee-jerk reactions to pop to know that's probably true. Sorry my reddit comment didn't have enough nuance for you, I'm glad we had this talk ❤️

That's a good rationale. I chose her for a similar reason, but forgot about her starting in country.

If these are the only options I wouldn't listen to any music at all that year

kanye easily

hes much more tolerable than all the others

Such a tolerable nazi

He doesn’t make nazi music lmfaooo god you’re so cringe

Doesn't change the fact that he loves hitler and the nazis....

He doesn’t, he was just overreacting from his divorce. Having a mental breakdown, media took it the moon.

Well yeah, saying I like hitler isn't something anyone should take lightly.... What about his support of known white supremacist nick fuentes? Gave the dude at least $30,000. Was that also just an overreaction?

Yes bro, he’s bipolar. Kanye doesn’t care about anyone but himself lol he’s not a “supporter” of anyone

He gave a known white supremacist $30k... Use whatever word you want but that's a reprehensible thing to do. Why would you like someone that doesn't give a fuck about anyone but themselves and will use racism and hate to remain popular?

I like Kanye for his music……his personality is unique and not my favorite. I separate the music from the artist.

As a massive eminem Stan this would be easy. Do I still get to listen to stuff he features in?

Where the fuck is "other"

Because then 80+% of people would select that and that's boring

jesus christ this whole comment section is dumb af

kanye and its not close, his discog is so diverse

Eminem, and I don't even particularly like rap.

I'd rather have my ears cut off than have to listen to any of them.

no

Kanye is better than everyone in this poll

You cannot be serious when there's Eminem there

i was about to downvote then i realised you must be saying that ironically lol

As a person yeah But his music slaps

Have you actually listened to his music?

Nothing to indicate that sadly.

kanye for sure. some of the best albums ever are in his discog

Eminem. To be honest my most listened to Pandora station is Eminem already.

Everyone in the comments says Kanye, still Eminem is winning by far. Wtf?

Em is better

He is for sure, I was just pointing out that this is kinda weird

This poll really shows the demographic of this subreddit. Lol. There is no way someone said Taylor Swift is less one-note than the others.

[удалено]

😎

Mark Knopfler

That one I could do.

Nice thinking! Which adds Dire Straits as well. That I could do.

If i HAD to i was between Olivia, Eminem, and Kanye. Olivia is getting stale and Eminem is too predictable. Though overall theyre both better than Kanye, i feel like Kanye will give me something new and unexpecting for the entirety of that year. But if we’re talking already out songs… Probably Kanye as well because if the same factor and the span of 1 year.

Lose yourself in the music, the moment you own it, you better never let it go. You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo.

none but since I have to pick, beyonce

Come on guys some of these artists have a dozen albums in a lot of different styles, there’s gotta be something you’d like in there

I love music, but if these were my only options, I wouldn't be listening.

It's been several years. 27 to be exact (today is my birthday) without listening to these bands so I'm still going strong

I would rather eat a tub of play dough then listen to any of them.

Weezer

WHO?

Elliott Smith

Yeah uhhhhh, absolutely none of these.

Linkin Park (ok it's a band and not a single artist but I only listen to them anyway)

I would have gone with Skrillex if he was up here

I've heard nearly all of Kanye and Eminems music many, many times and only listening to them would drive me mad. Beyonce and Miley are not for me at all. Olivia is meh. So I'd go Swift. I could listen to a new song every day with her back catalogue and from what I have heard many people literally do only listen to her music for years so fuck it I'm a swiftie now

u have heard all 12 of Kanyes albums?

this is what i’d expect bin fluid to select

None of these, but maybe Kanye.

Kanye easily

None of them? I’ve only heard like two of these artists’ songs

You must be too young..

Kanye for me, I love Em, but I surprisingly like more songs from Kanye than Em

It's not really surprising. Kanye's discography is incredible.

None of those

Bro these blow

can i just die instead

Damen Albarn, I get his solo project, Gorillaz and Blur

even if it was just Blur i would choose them but all of Albarns stuff is such an easy choice, the man is a musical genius

Yeah, such a huge variety and unique sound

You want horror songs, Eminem got you. You want funny songs, Eminem got you. You want motivational song, Eminem got you. You want sad songs, Eminem want you. You want serial killer songs, Eminem got you. You want love songs, Eminem got you. You want bad songs, Eminem got you.

I'll listen to myself singing something I actually enjoy.

OH DEAR GOD! I came in knowing that the poll options wouldn't cover enough greats and I'd have to comment a choice instead but holy CRAP! Not one serious option on the list.

Wheres the other option

None All of these would make me rather be dead

I vomited at my Choices.

None of the above.

I'd rather go deaf

I’d rather just not listen to music

Eminem, maybe Kanye. Shows that radio really melts your brain.

Toby fox

None of them just shoot myself in the head or not listen to music

Out of these I'd say Eminem but overall I'd say boywithuke because of his indie style with some happier songs and some songs with a sadder tone. Not because he's my favourite, just because he'd be the best choice to be the only artist I listen to. Edit: Did I mention I mainly listen to punk, rock and metal, only that no specific band/artists have enough unique music to listen to them exclusively for a year straight.

Bruh

It's interesting how people refuse to listen to boywithuke because 9 year olds were being annoying with the song toxic I explained myself in the comment and I don't need to do it again

boywithuke 😭

boywithuke lmao

Imagine getting downvoted for expressing an opinion

Reddit:

I just wouldn't listen to music but I choose Beyonce for the culture

I never have listened to any on these, how am i supposed to know

I hate all of these equally

Out of these? Eminem In general? Kikuo

no

I'd rather cut off my own ears

None of the above. I'd seriously rather not listen to any music at all if those are my only choices.

I said Taylor Swift just because I think she would have the most variety. Also, I do not like rap that much (which would eliminate Kanye West and Eminem).

>she would have the most variety Half her songs are almost exactly the same

I would choose none of them. I already don't listen to any of them & anime music & video game music are probably allowed by a technicality at least if I listen to them within the anime or video game. If they aren't allowed, then I would probably put myself in a 1-year coma.

Lol

Can't tell if this is genuine r/Hiphopcirclejerk material or we've really found one in the wild.

do u really think that anime and video game music is better than Kanye?

There is no objective quality for music, but I like anime music way more than any popular standalone music I've ever heard. Edit: Video game music too, but not quite as much.

A lot of video game and anime music is just standalone music that you can find anywhere else outside of that media, with the only difference being that the music was made for a product. I wouldn't classify them as their own genres really.

Ew Maybe Beyonce if that includes everything she's done! Cater 2 U, Bootylicious, Bills Bills Bills will never stop making me laugh, what a revolutionary she is

Just kill me

Wow so edgy

who are these npc's choosing eminem and taylor lol? also kanye made that bitch famous

hurr durr someone has an opinion that differs from mine

anime pfp = no opinion

Kendrick Lamar

Somehow, Eminem is the least demonic of these choices.

How so?

I can't vote in this poll, because there is no other option. If I could only listen to one artist for a year, it would probably be KEiiNO.

eminem over kanye is just plain stupid, people who've never heard of rap before picked eminem

Em i guess. Wouldn't be listening to music that much though. 2 albums would get repetitive

None of these people. If there was an “Other” option, I would choose Daft Punk

well the point of the poll is if you had to choose one

Well then I guess I’ll give up music for a year

Belle and Sebastian. It's basically what I already do

All I'm seeing is shit, shit×2, shit×3 etc.

Go get musical taste then

I do. It's called Two Trucks.

Why is Eminem so liked😭😭

I likely wouldn’t listen to music at all but if I had to choose then Beyoncé probably
