Honest question, not trying to troll or anything. Who’s Beato? I really want to learn something today. I know is the guy who posted the video but wiki is not giving me a good answer. Really. R
Caramanica apparently chose Young Thug and wrote his bio for the article: “…the Atlanta surrealist Young Thug, whose main gift to songwriting has been his ease with dismantling its norms…” “…Young Thug’s dazzling dyspepsia…” “…the remaking of rap music into a sound that’s practically posthistorical…”
I wondered if someone named Young Thug might be an improvement over the stereotypical dehumanizing gangsta rap that I hate, so I read the lyrics of the “Five Essential Songs” and watched two videos. He’s not. No norms were dismantled by Mr. Thug. n-word n-word b-word b-word f-word f-word s-word, YSL, watch, car, n-word n-word n-word b-word b-word f-word… to infinity.
I’m gonna listen to those Lemon Twigs songs and cure my dyspepsia now.
writing about music of any kind today is a mad scramble to say something about nothing. pretending you know lots about nonexistent genres in a post pre - op ambient redux country soul heavy moronica americana banana prog a ganza art wave indee pink folk fairy tale world is a heavy load. it is especially difficult in a limited language like anglais.
I happened to notice, in the early seventies, that the "music reviewers" in Rolling Stone, Creem, local rags, etc. mainly wrote about the lyrics, mostly, if not exclusively. Hairstyles and fashion feature more prominently than the MUSIC, almost always. Okay, they're English majors. I tried writing some reviews, and the superlame song by song here's why I like this one paradigm was too hard to escape. Oh well. Here's how this new celebrity fits into your fashionable lifestyle, kids!

Dear Lord.......
Not for nothing did I use to refer to Caramanica as the World's Most Irksome Rock Critic. 😎 https://powerpop.blogspot.com/2009/03/son-of-irksome.html

I think Wiki's answer is pretty thorough

When I watched this I just wanted to grab Caramanica by the throat. What a smug bastard!
I started watching this last night and lasted about 2 minutes, could see exactly how it was gonna unfold.

"Caramanica as the World's Most Irksome Rock Critic" or maybe Caramanica as the world's most pompous ass know-nothing about music, uh, ever.
