So I am making a song that takes the piss out of mainstream artists, but I don't want to slander any artists that have any talent/ people who have a decent taste in music like.
It basically has to be an artist that most people know, and most people think is terrible.
I can probably do about 5 artists, perhaps a few more.
So far I am thinking of doing:
Justin Bieber
Kanye West
Lady Gaga (she can actually sing unlike the others, so I'm not as sure about doing her)

Oh I thought you meant artfag artists.
Soulja Boy
I think you got yourself a good list there already, I can't really think of another one.
Nickleback
Eminem? Dunno about you guys but I would laugh if he died.

Icp.
Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana/Disney Assorted Music in a tin.
Jay Z.
Lady Gaga
Justin Beiber, he's a giant faggot.
Justin Bieber
Kanye West
Ke$ha
Miley Cyrus
and Souja Boy
How about this list then?
green day and drake
Eminem.
Pop or not, Gaga has alot of talent.

Talent is only a tool. The product is the only thing that matters. The product of her so-called talent is tripe that makes a few too many millions of dollars.
I'm not some snob that rages when I see Pokerface on someone's iPod, but the levels of acclaim she gets from fans is stupid.
Metallica and Iron Maidan
Maybe she'd be more respectable if she wasn't part of a genre where aesthetic was more important than music I'd think she was anything but utterly fucking ridiculous.
But she isn't.

oh also I think her music is shit.
[QUOTE=Squeaken;24512729]Pop or not, Gaga has alot of talent.[/QUOTE]
No.
Lady Gaga has a moderate amount of talent an enormous amount of celebrity presence because of her eccentric appearance and lyrics like "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick."
She is a prime example of how style is more important than substance in the music business and therefore should be removed like cancerous polyp on the anus of humanity that she is.

Uhh... :v:
[QUOTE=BeardedSponge;24512892]Metallica and Iron Maidan[/QUOTE]
No way.
I mean sure the same slackjawed fucks who likes all the other music in this thread might not like them, but that doesn't make them hated. Simply ignored.
I hate metallica and iron maiden.
[QUOTE=B-hazard;24512550]Justin Bieber

I'd disagree with Ke$ha but the rest seem accurate
Eminem, Jay-Z and Kanye don't need to be on there. I think they're all great artist. I mean, Kanye has a huge ego but his older albums like College Dropout are awesome.

Facepunch just hates rap, even though those guys are all really talented and have for the most part good work(except for Kanye's recent stuff).

I know. It's only because so many other artists like Soulja Boy have sullied the genre. Seriously, Eminem is one of the best rappers, hands down.
my reason for hating eminem is the dumbshit arguments he's spawned with your typical listener.
every time I hear someone say something to the effect of "eminem is the only good rapper" I want to die. that's [I]a lot[/I] of suicidal thoughts.

He's not the best rapper, or the only good one, but he is an extremely good lyricist. He has very indepth songs (except for the joke ones) with a good flow, good beat and as stated earlier, very insightful lyrics.

Well that is actually true for about half his songs. Half his songs are mainstream crap you hear on the radio, while the rest are the real rap songs.

fair enough; I'm not dismissing him as a musician, really. just dismissing a lot of his fanbase (though in fairness, I don't imagine facepunch has many people who fall under this category :smile:).
it's just a shame people don't open their eyes to the more underground hiphop artists so they can learn that eminem isn't the only damn rapper who tries to express anything deep.

There's plenty of artists who [I]only[/I] write decent hiphop.
Anyone using autotune :byodood:
[QUOTE=TehBlueOne;24514082]Anyone using autotune :byodood:[/QUOTE]
I don't really mind autotune if it's only to either make the song sound different or just to change a couple of tiny bits that they got wrong in the studio, but if people auto-tune the whole thing then it casts doubts on whether they're actually a good artist..
