Any deluded viewer who still believes in Hololive having no relationships should watch that clip.
Mori's use of Japanese and English is one of the things she's most praised for. If anything when I listen to her music its the English that ends up a tad jank. Its remarkable it even flows as well as it does as she couldn't using two more fundamentally different languages. Ixm not gonna fault her for minor mishaps in the lyricism because of that.
Do you mean to tell me having a Duolingo stream once every blue moon isn't enough to learn a whole new language? It's never even something different like Memrise or Busuu (one of which has clips of locals and the other one having open tasks that other people can correct for you), just Duolingo. At the very least I can understand not bothering with Pimmsleur as much as certain people shill it, shit's expensive and I unironically fell asleep during the demo course.
I tend to enjoy Mori songs for the most part and honestly have no idea about RAP, (I rather listen to R.A.C.) but when he went through DDK stuff it was pretty obvious she's amateur and a tryhard even without this dude doing AVGN impressions in the corner, it kinda speaks for itself when you look at those cringy, unsympathetic, self-indulgent lyrics that I've already noticed with her latest vent songs and it was the best music she did as DiceDemon so...
Based Brad might be overly negative at times but he gave some legitimate criticism I tend to agree with like "Mori stuff worked better than DDK because she was having fun with it instead of trying so hard to be deep, serious and edgy" it feels like there is some internal struggle in this girl when she constantly tries to be something that she isn't.
She kinda has to use Japanese as Japanese rap revolves around how the language works.
jesas kanata is the dorkiest prankster on earth
I know these are more doom/proto metal, and not at all suited to their voices, but just for the meme I want Calli to do a cover of Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats and Ina to do a cover of Jess and the Ancient Ones
I want to read it. Join me in posting autistically long diatribes that are only on topic because a vtuber mentioned it.
I don't listen to or like 99% of rap, so most of Calli's stuff never gets listened to more than once by me, but I have to say I disagree completely with this kind of thing. How is that legitimate criticism in any meaningful way? Criticism like that is based solely on feelings without any substance to prove that it's true. He's just stating his feelings as a fact and hoping people won't give it one iota of thought even if they disagree with him. When exactly do the lyrics transition from 'cringe and edgy' to 'fun and genuine'? Can he prove it to me? No, you can never know because those are just feelings you get and everyone experiences them in differing ways. Just to be clear I also feel this way about her stuff, even as Mori, but I could never defend my position as a legit criticism because it means nothing to anyone but me, or people that have similar taste as me and just inherently trust my judgement, but even then it certainly wouldn't be useful criticism. I'd say that every single person I have seen who has 'critiqued' Karen's stuff, positive or negative, has only ever gone on about how it feels rather than anything tangible. I'd love to see someone who can actually articulate a point without it devolving into feelings. It's much harder with music than other mediums, but I'm sure it can be done.
I'm not a fan of rap as a whole, although there are some specific songs that are decent. But the stuff I really don't get, which still gets radio play at the gym and similar places, is just monotone mumbling that doesn't seem to have any clever lyrics or impressive vocal skill. She's at least a good bit better than that stuff.
This.
RRAT: the one pranked this time was the audience because they actually are dating (La+ got two banana jokes in a row)
This shit is pretty funny:
That's silly. Who would get offended by this? It's not even a stereotype! Rap and gangs come hand in hand so often that you can't go a week without hearing about a rapper getting arrested, or shot and killed.This shit is pretty funny:
Scru Face Jean has done that in practically all of his Mori/Demondice reactions, commenting on her technical ability, flow and rhymes, as he has legitimate experience as a rapper and can look past the fact that she's a white woman which is, let's face it, what pretty much all of the hatred towards Karen's music you see online--RYM and elsewhere--is based on.
It's just another gimmick. We've arrived at a point where there are so many vtubers debuting each month, they have to make themselves stand out. Lore is irrelevant, unless you're some diehard pro like Luna who's managed to keep in character for most of her career so far.
