Chris Robinson Is With Kanye

Well, another card for Kanye West's "Taylor Swift Ain't Shit" Club has been issued and handed over to a second member. And that member is Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes. The hippie Tom Green scratches scalp creatures in his head every night while wondering why any potty-trained person would every thinks that Taylor Swift has talent. Yup, Gay Fish can take three steps back, because Chris is snatching the mic now. Chris said this to Nylon Guys (via E! Online):

"I find it embarrassing that adults are like, 'Taylor Swift is very talented.' She's not. She might be cute, but she's horrible."

Chris then went after the Mileys, RiRis and Ke$hits of the world:

"They have stylists who dress them, they make records with producers who play a chord into the computer and it all comes out the same...When you have computers doing it all for you...there's no individuality. Singing isn't always about being on key; it's about emotionality."

You can't argue with Jesus.

Chris has a point, but it's Taylor Fucking Swift! That's like kicking a blind puppy. Yes, she's 20-years-old and her lyrics sound like they were taken from the inside of a 6th grader's Lisa Frank folder, but she's pretty much harmless.

And yes, most of her songs should be sung by animated princesses twirling in the enchanted forest while a chorus of animal in clothes dance around her.... But obviously, there's a bunch of people into that shit. I'll admit that I sang one of her songs at karaoke the other night, but I try to live my life as though I'm an animated princess just twirling away in the enchanted forest, so that's my excuse.

Oh and Chris forgot to add: "AND BEYONCE HAD ONE OF THE GREATEST VIDEOS OF ALL TIME!!!!111!!!"

Hey Chris, why don't you throw Kanye West and some male singers into that group. What, you don't think that Kanye needs help simulating a robot's voice when he "sings". I don't listen to Taylor Swift, but I don't expect her song writing to include the same lyrics as a chain-smoking, whiskey-bent, heroin-fueled songwriter; and frankly I respect someone to stick to what they know instead of trying to pose as a bad ass.

Good ol Chris needs to ask himself if we will still be listening to Crows music in say 25 years time and I would say not so much....

*******************************************

Pretty sure that's one of them angry moms you were talking about. Why should we chill? Scared?;p

But yeah - I betcha someone could pop out a Crowes tune a long time from now and it would still hit. It's classic music...and who knows...maybe it's even better now. I heard there's more. I haven't heard it yet tho...

But then so is Taylor's. It's like a cardboard box - you can ALWAYS find a use for a cardboard box.

And even if Lionel Richie DIDN'T blow you away I defy any person alive to not know at least one of his lyrics. Not even kidding! That's good songwriting. They all gots it to an extent.

When I was 15 i was listening to The Clash, Iggy Pop, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and David Bowie. But I suppose that's not "good rock & roll music" to someone who thinks the resoundingly boring fake blues of the Black Crowes is worthwhile. Let me guess, you're a diehard fan of Hootie, Huey Lewis and Blind Melon too.

*****************************************************

Actually in my teens I was listening to the same things as you but also to Joy Division, The Cure,Black Sabbath,Velvet Underground, Led Zeppelin,NAZARETH their early stuff, the doors,Satori (Flower Travellin' Band) remember them?? ,Lee Scratch Perry,Dizzy K, also TONS of underground dance beats like Lola, Xanadu & Sweet Lady-Rappers Delight 1979 and lots and lots of supper under ground shit,so yeha I know my tunes but I still think Black Crowes are pretty good compared to your Taylor Shit. You must be a mini van driving mom that has had to put up with listening to Taylor Shit and the likes for too long now.

Also , cprincess you are so right

He is right, The rihanna, Britneys, Mileys, Talyor and Kesha , katy has no talents. They can't sing for crap all they have is producer to produce their music and autotune. At least Taylor write her own music , that more than what Rihanna, and Trashney does...

She has the most horrible hair!!

Dog's picture

Agreed. Look at people like Keshit and Katy Perry. Neither skank can sing yet their music is huge. The problem with these untalented people who sound great on the radio is they can't sing live which is where it counts. That's where your talent (or lack thereof) will reveal itself.

He might be a grouch, but he's right. She's not really talented. And Kanye might sing like shit, but he actually makes and produces his music. And you can't say that about a lot of people. Nowadays if you have a good producer, you are set for life and people will think you're the most talented person around. No talent is required.

Ha ha! That's what I mean by talented singer. Her songs are pure pop genius! Freakin' catchy as hell! It had never crossed my mind that she may have a ghostwriter, actually. All I know is that she co-writes many oof her songs with only 1 or 2 ppl max.(unlike ppl. like Beyonce who co-writes with 5 ppl. or more) and that her biggest hits she wrote herself. But it's something to think about!

sorry but he's totally right she's just an ok face. she produces marketed hollywood schlock just like all the other tweens and teeny bopper idiot girls that they are mass producing now. jesus christ we really are de evolving as a society. what happened to when pp made REAL music. what happened to pink floyd, the rolling stones, alanis morrisette, jewel (pre weird hip hop reinvention) sheryl crow, david bowie, the doors, the beatles

--dood...Alanis' last album was excellent, Jewel put out good stuff after that pop stuff, and Crow's latest is getting rave reviews. Don't lose faith just because they're not all over People. You just gotta get on mailing lists and other online networking stuff to keep up with your favorites. Most of them are still making great music. And Alanis is getting better and better with each album-her last one basically cemented her as a great talent, IMO.

He forgot Lady Caca and Katy Perry too; I kinda like them, but their lyrics are also sh!t.

Seriously, all those wh0res need Alanis Morisette, Pat Benatar, and Nancy Wilson as their ghost writers.

--Okay you guys, I have a suspicion- Do you think Swift has ghostwriters? Think about it. Winning a Grammy for best album for very, VERY well-crafted pop songs that seem way to intelligently done even for a 14 year old. I know you think her music is dumb, but think about the poetic (no, seriously) structure of her songs. Like that "Romeo and Juliet"-the pattern of the lyrics, the bridge. I dunno, the pacing of it to me seems a bit advanced for a kid. As if an adult who writes Disney songs wrote it. That really, really wouldn't surprise me.

Ummmm...Taylor is talented.

How high on the talent scale, I don't know, but high enough not to be made fun of by the likes of Kanye West and this Grizzly Adams.

They're just jealous because they've peaked and she's just a teenager.

They're afraid she's only going to get better.

Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong, but they're no gentlemen and they should STFU.

“Change in a trice. The lilies and languors of virtue. For the raptures and roses of vice;”

A lot of people on here keep bringing up the fact that Chris hasn't had a hit song in like 15 years or whatever but it doesn't matter wether someone has hit songs or not. There are a lot of artists out there that are talented and don't have hits. Having said that, he went after the wrong girl. She may not be Joni Mitchell but she is far from an untalented hack. Nothing she does seems contrived, from her style to her songs. And from what I remember, she got signed on a new and small record label.
BTW I was just listening to a few Counting Cr...
er...Black Crowes' songs and um I couldn't get into it. I enjoy rootsy rock music with a country vibe (I like country music as well) but I just couldn't w/ the Black Crowes and have pretty much the same for Kings of Leon.

Khensu Hetep's picture

I agree with him and I think that Taylor Swift's music is ear-splitting, but I don't think she's ever pretended to be above anything or anyone about the industry.

While she may be controlled by the media and her music is heinous, points to her for at least being genuine and not trying to compete with the shock value whores who honestly are the ones who delude themselves they're seriously somehow more special and, again, "above" the other pop stars or thinks she knows something the rest of them don't. She has much less ego.

So she gets a pass. Other than John Mayer, it's never the soft rock/contemporary pop/pop country singers who try to pass themselves off as anything greater than what they actually are.

And while her music video that won over Beyonce's single ladies was cliche'd at best, at least she tried to make it into an interesting video, unlike dancing clumsily in front of a green screen. The set of that video must have been $30, tops.

Good ol Chris needs to ask himself if we will still be listening to Crows music in say 25 years time and I would say not so much....
For example-look at Led Zepplin- their stuff sounds as current as if it were recorded yesterday and some of it is from the freakin 60s!!!

Yes Chris we already know that. On that note he is very lucky he hit the big time with his crappy band. Maybe he should hire some of Taylor and Miley's handlers to help him produce a hit song.

Taylor might not be the best singer in the world but give the girl a break. She wrote a #1 hit when she was like 14. When was the last time you wrote a hit, Chris?

************************************

Are you serious? Black Crowes are amazing, they bring it on live and can out perform Taylor "Daddy bought me a record deal" Swift any day. T.S cant sing and that has been proven by many who have seen the model perform. She should stick to posing for pictures instead of opening her trap. And if you can't recall any of their songs on the radio you are probably around 15 becuase they play their songs on the radio even today. Maybe you only listen to a station that has Miley, Ke¢ha,Lady CaCa on loop, instead of some good rock and roll or music!

Danklin , you know that is what the record company wants you to buy and you bought it hook,line and sinker word for word. The public is so naive,and that is why the cycle of crap keeps coming. Taylor Shit is but a puppet with a pretty face and younger girls, and perverts/pedos when she was younger of course ,keep her in business.

Chris can sing his ass off and has talent. He hasn't had a hit in years? He isn't relevant? He has talent and got paid enough for it that he still lives off of it. The BCs first album was the shit and that man has a set of pipes that makes you have a spiritual moment. TS induces considerations of suicide by sticking a long, metal spike through the ear drum.

Ok - so through this all I'm thinking: I loved the Black Crowes at one time - WTF? I hardly even think of them as existing anymore. Honestly - Chris Robinson went totally from being the sexy freak front man of The Black Crowes to Kate Hudson's ex for me....So I went to find out: WTF does the Black Crowes do these days?

...And now I get why he's pissed off - well, not pissed off cuz he's a stoner - let's say "peeved". It's cuz they took some time off and came back and learned that you better be young and hot if you want to get support for your work. Otherwise, you're largely on your own. To get dollars for marketing and promotion, radio play is a big deal - and his little classic rock knock-off band is not a high priority. Taylor Swift is. Cuz she's young and ...*chokes*"pretty". And instead of the depth and breadth of his experience being an asset - it's a setback.

I will give him this, from what I remember he IS a THOUSAND times better as a performer. Just that one area is all I can give him tho. No wait - one more: It's a damn shame what the industry has become.

This dude may be really fucking ugly, he may be a member of a band I've still never heard of other than in the context of him, and he may be someone I still do not know other than in context of him formerly being married to the singularly vile and loathsomely unholy KHud, but he speaks the truth. Her songs are crap and uninteresting, even for country pop, and if you've ever seen her live girl can not sing for crap. I think people are impressed because she 'writes music' and can strum a guitar but she hasn't ever done anything impressive in either of those areas either. She may be better than the average girl off the street but she certainly isn't significantly gifted or anything. Awards are won by popularity, which everyone knows, so I could give a shit about her VMAs and CMT Awards. People seem to specifically cite this girl for being talented so I'm glad someone is calling her out on it publicly. She exploded because of Kanye West. If that hadn't happened she would have faded away and not had the career upswing she did. Ugh. BLAME KANYE!!! KANYE WEST DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MUSIC LOVERS!!!

I don't know that it's entirely fair to pick on Taylor. There are plenty of other artists that deserve it. She has songwriting talent and can play guitar. Yes, I know that there are plenty of ppl out there who are better. Fiona Apple comes to mind since she was 17/18 when she wrote her songs for her debut and her music was deeper and she had a womanly voice. Taylor may appeal mostly to tweens but she's a good girl. She is more sheltered, and she just probably wants to make music that teens like. I think if her voice gets better, if she attempts to sound older and if she writes songs that aren't meant to be radio friendly she will change a lot of ppls minds. I think in a few years she'll get better.
