Todd In The Shadows Thread

I've always been a Late Registration kind of guy, but damn if The College Dropout isn't insanely fun

Late Registration is good, though I'll admit it's not quite as fresh in my mind since it's been a long time since I listened to it all the way through.

Those "Phi Broke" skits have always stuck with me, though.

I actually thought Rhianna did sing on Cheap Thrills - which has been stuck in my head for the last few weeks.

Also I think the shitfit re: Kanye and Taylor's beef was the fact that Taylor complained about that line and then Kanye leaked some phonecalls or something where Kanye asked her if he could use that line and she said yes or something.

It was stupid but a whole bunch of drama snowballed from that

It was offered to her, but she rejected it.

For the record, I made the "she probably rejected it because it was too generic" joke long before Todd ever did

Actually I found the whole snowball of shit that happened around that drama (tm)

So:

Kim Kardashian leaked video footage of Taylor Swift approving of the lyrics in Famous, which caused the entire media to turn on Taylor.

Taylor Swift dug herself into a hole on instagram, causing everyone to hate her more.

Selena Gomez then posted some weird, messy shit in Taylor's defence, got called out for it, and proceeded to dig herself deeper.

Then Demi Lovato, Pharrell Williams and Zendaya turn against Taylor. The former unfollowing Selena and the latter two throwing shade Taylor.

Katy Perry tweeted "Haha" and then promptly deleted it. Who she was laughing at remains unknown (though probably Taylor considering she doesn't seem to be all too liked in the industry atm).

Then Chloe Grace Moretz stuck her neck out for Taylor & got wrongly dragged by Khloe Kardashian which involved the latter posting a picture of what apparently was her butthole.

Then Justin Bieber randomly posted a video of himself saying “less hate more love” and people brought him into that mess because his song “All Bad” from Journals was about Taylor & basically he called her fake back then in 2013.

And that's what you missed on Glee

I had to laugh at the Glee thing there.

also who the hell is Chloe Grace Moretz

Anyway, crap like this is why I don't even bother to keep up with celebrity drama. Didn't care for high school antics back in high school, why should I now? insert obligatory Bowling for Soup song here

She was Hit-Girl, for starters.

And other than that I'm repressing this crap as much as I can.

I shouldn't even bother with listening to Kanye's stuff on principle, but darn it, these albums sound interesting and I enjoy all his songs that I have heard. (Heck, I picked up some Bill Cosby albums at a yard sale a few weeks ago because they're still hilarious, so no point in my casting stones.)

Hey, Kanye doesn't try to hurt people, he's just someone who never learned proper social skills. His music is fantastic, all of his albums are well worth a listen. Personally, my favorite is his debut, which might be one of my all time favorite debut albums and is actually one of my favorite albums period.

The media may keep an eye out for Taylor Swift right now in case she starts acting like a "snake" again, but in the long run it's all shit that people will forget as the months go by. By the time she releases her next album they're going to shower her with praise until the next public outburst. Lather, rinse, repeat. Remember the drama between Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj at the VM As last year? Well, now you do.

x4 I'm not sure if it was ever confirmed that "Bad Blood" was about Katy Perry, but either way the two don't seem to be on good terms. Apparently Katy "stole" Taylor's backup dancers or some shit like that, and then they had this huge falling out.

I've recently considered calling Kanye the rap equivalent of Beethoven - for starters there's the fact that both have entries under Byronic Hero

(I lol'ed at the Glee part too, kudos Pipping Fool)

Alas, as wonderful as the Glee joke was, I can't take credit for it. It was on one of the tumblr posts that catalogued the whole Celebrity Catfight Drama while this whole thing was going down and I cribbed it wholecloth

While this is true, constantly getting on people's bad sides and having most of the industry hate your guts/not like you doesn't do wonders for you in the long run.

Look at post Suicide Squad Jared Leto, who was such an arrogant prick to the people he was working with that they actually cut out multiple parts of the film and downsized his role for the final production and how most of his co-stars actively want nothing to do with him.

edited 24th Aug '16 9:59:13 AM by PippingFool

Huh. I thought that was just an effect of retooling the film in general, not specifically distancing him from the production.

Nice job, Jared Leto, you being a dick actually made a major motion picture worse. Truly, people will be calling his agent to book him for more roles immediately.

I don't think that's what happened, actually.

I think it was more a combination of both, to be honest, based on articles I've read about the whole fiasco.

I mean, he's not mad about his role being cut. He's disappointed, but he's still planning on working for them.

I know at least his co-stars aren't leaping at the chance to work with him again. Considering he threw a dead pig on the table when the cast were getting introduced among other mailing stunts and harassment.

Hey, the more Margot Robbie hates Leto, the better it will feel when Harley dumps Mr J. in her solo movie to hook up with Ivy. It's a win-win situation.

The amount of twitter/instagram drama I ignore is staggering. Not to sound patronizing, but why people who own millions of dollars and are insanely famous think it's a good idea to waste their time like this?

I understand the Kardashians, who have no talent whatsoever and have to appear in the media to be remembered - I could arguably add Katy Perry to the list but YMMV. But Taylor Swift? She is talented, despite her, erm, temper. She would be equally as famous and successful if she wasn't petty and attention-grabbing like that. Just like Kanye.

It seems when you're celebrities, petty High School drama becomes in vogue again

Whoever guessed this song to be the next OHW...well, turns out you're right.

...Michael Bay directed the video for "I Touch Myself"?

Also did Todd end the video with a Nightcore cover of I Touch Myself?

edited 31st Aug '16 8:31:07 AM by PippingFool

Bay directed lots of commercials and music videos before he made movies, I believe.

Yeah he did a little video with some guy... Beefload or something was suppose to be a big deal

I might be missing the joke here, but just in case... Meat Loaf.

(Well, four out of eight ain't bad.)

I was already somewhat familiar with this band, so I already knew the sad note this review would end on. If it gets people listening to the likes of “Boys in Town” or “Pleasure and Pain,” it can only be a good thing.
