grew up having to listen to bowie, and grew to love his music. Im the biggest hip hop nerd there is but, in the heat of the morning is still one of the best songs ive ever heard

While I have no clue who u are pretty sure ur a faggot bro

My favorite musical acts of all time:

1. Prince
2. OutKast
3. Miles Davis
4. David Bowie
5. Bruce Springsteen

★ (Blackstar), his new album, is amazing. I've now listened to it three times, once before he died and twice since. I think it's his best since Scary Monsters in 1980.

The Roots are going to perform in a tribute concert for him. It was originally going to be a celebration of his career, not his life.

Did you see they confirmed the album was written with his impending death in mind?

The video for Lazarus was shot as his official goodbye.

Creating art until the very end.

The lyrics seemed death-inspired on Friday. By Sunday night, the full impact was obvious.

He didn't die. He's just returned to his home planet.

I wrote my Winter Topical verse for him.

and the stars look very different today

respect to the man. I never got too heavy into his music tbh, but my fiance is a big fan, and it's heavy to think that one day my heroes, too, will die. will give Blackstar a listen this week.

found this interesting in lieu of the discussion in here @Hush @Diode @Certain

thanks for this.

admittedly all I know of david bowie is that song about ..Soyuz hatches ..major tom..someshit(which was beautiful)...but I can tell why he has impacted so many people. he seemed eccentric at first glance

r.i.p

Yeah, what an obscure artist.

Lol any1 else wanna make themselves look like a dickhead itt?

Blackstar was dope and I literally never liked a Bowie album before that. Dude was still a respectable influential figure. RIP

It's definitely the most jazz-oriented album he has, so I get why you would say that. But still, man. Maybe "Heroes" or Lodger would suit you?

An album doesn't have to be 'jazz oriented' for me to like it. I kind of dug Low but tbh I just find his music to be enjoyable tunes with an okay band... I also didn't really hear much 'jazz' stuff here outside of an emphasis on improv which is always cool

But yeah

Cool tunes but I never really dug his versions

Stuff like Glasper and Bilal playing Letter to Hermione is dope though

i've only really listened to the berlin trilogy (and a bunch of random tracks you can't help hearing) but bowie was a creative motherfucker. good nikola tesla, too. peace.
