I usually explain it like this. Much (not all) pop music is like McDonald's, simple, boring, unimaginative. Now if McDonald's cost the same amount of money as say, a steak dinner on a yacht wouldn't you eat the steak dinner? Steak dinner is talented, creative, skilled people. Beyonce requires multiple producers on her albums, bands like queen(classically trained) only required members of the band.

What's it with people using unnecessary (and stupid) analogies like that all the time?

It's like this. When I type on reddit, I use the phrase "I mean" far too much. I start many sentences with it when they make no sense. It doesn't add anything, and just wastes space. In much the same way, people use analogies that also don't add anything and just waste space.

Young thug is better than Mozart. Young thug is one of the worlds greatest musical minds this world has ever seen. Mozart can't even complete a sentence (or write start one, judging by his lyrics)

Ayy lmao

Mozart has beaten drake is CD sales... laments terms, he is technically more listened to than Drake.

This is your brain on Mozart

laments terms

How does someone fuck this up? "Lament" is pronounced completely differently than "layman."

That's also a funny conclusion considering how much of Drakes audience has probably never purchased an actual CD in their lives

This is one of those arguments where there's no side that is in the right, and no winner in the end. r/iamverysmart people on both sides.

Truly, the dramalords have blessed us.

Mozart is pleb shit.

Erik Satie or bust.

Also, J. Cole is new Drake. Been digging his stuff for now.

Obviously, the answer is a mashup of some kind.
