So I was on reddit earlier today and people were claiming that Nujabes was an obscure artist because if you were to go out in the street and ask random people, most wouldn't know who he is. I thought this was kind of odd since I would consider him to be one of the most well known instrumental hip hop producers of all time.
What do you feel qualifies something as obscure? Can something be unknown to the general populace and still be considered non-obscure? Take Franz Schubert for example, your average joe probably wouldn't know who he is sadly despite his historical reputation. Does this mean Schubert should also be considered obscure like Nujabes?

Alexander Walker
if you're not interested in music then you're not gonna know who nujabes is
Dylan Cox
normies on the street just don't know shit about anything.
Luis Miller
How many Nujabes fans went straight from "24/7 Dubstep Gaming Mix" to him?
Logan Sullivan
idk but nujabes is p comfy on a rainy saturday morning
Carson Watson
There's more of them now, but he already was the Samurai Champloo guy for years.
Colton Foster
you're gay
but no nujabes isn't that obscure in the hip hop community. he's probably the second most well known instrumental producer behind j dilla. a lot of people know about him from samurai champloo and adult swim bumps.
Brandon Allen
>24/7 Dubstep Gaming Mix you are very clearly coming from baby's first meme thread on Sup Forums
Carson Hall
Obscurity is a relative concept which can shift meanings depending on whatever light a person wants to show something in. It's pretty much a useless description without establishing guidelines for it first.
Oliver James
Reddit is mostly retarded people. You must go back. It's all relative. House hold names for me aren't house hold names for most people I know except people who know where I'm coming from musically. There are few exceptions, those exceptions being massive world bands like Pearl Jam, Metallica, etc people who can sell out arenas on any continent in the world. Anything outside of that is relatively obscure. None of you fucking faggots here know about mike mitchell, ben hixon, jon bap, rc williams, cleon edwards, etc but those dudes have played and worked with people who are world wide stars and have very interesting music of their own but you have to want to know about these people. Plebbitors, generally speaking, aren't into music as much as musicians who put in work. That meme of "music is lyfe red hot chili peppers, radio head, the list goes on" exists because (I think) everyone wants to feel knowledgeable in something they enjoy. The internet is pretty much a battleground for people to one up each other on knowledge of whatever subject is at hand. Niggas wanna feel special cause most niggas ain't.
Camden Edwards
The average joe doesn't even know who Max Martin is, even though they have listened to his songs' a billion times
Angel Morris
I feel as if there are layers to obscurity that are relative to each person's knowledge on a subject. Take for example, YouTubers. To the average person, they wouldn't know anything about PewDiePie, even though he's by far the most popular one on the entire culture. However, unless you actively follow the site and content creators, you would be lucky to recognize him so much as scarcely know about him. However, to people who actively follow the most prevalent YouTubers, aka. the top echelon/most subscribed, they might not have heard of other gaming YouTubers besides PewDiePie, for example, Chuggaaconroy (my favorite YouTuber, check him out if you can). In that case, unless you actively follow gaming/Let's Play culture, you couldn't name a single game he's played at all. Of course, if you did, you'd know him quite well. At first, I thought since YouTube was the most popular website on the internet, Normies would identify who PewDiePie is easily. But aside from me, not a single person I know pays attention to, or cares a bit about him. I guess it just depends on an individual's knowledge, as aforementioned.

when does the reddit hate end
Sup Forums is at least the same amount of retard
Mason Martinez
reddit is far worse. Sup Forums knows they're full of retards and neckbeards. reddit thinks they're legitimately intellectuals and cool.
Isaac Sanchez
Fuck off nigger
Jacob Bennett
Is there literally any rapper or producer that has credited Nujabes as an influence?
Noah Nelson

>at least reddit isn't as much of a cesspool that they get a rise out of shitposting go back and fuck off
Charles Clark
That thread's highest upvoted options were great though bar Nujabes. Not a lot of names you see on Sup Forums in that thread. Due to Sup Forums's memey nature, spots on Reddit especially like Listen To This are far better for finding truly new stuff.
>defending Reddit Why are you even here? Go be functional in society somewhere else, you insufferable outsider.

you mad lol

Evan Collins
>Reddit thinks they're legitimately intellectuals and cool
I concur. This fits the description of redditors I've met in real life. They also must mention they browse reddit. I can't think of one person who didn't lack self awareness.
Blake Powell
i don't even browse reddit other for when google links me to something i'm looking for
i'm just saying it's not as bad as to suffer the retarded memery it gets from Sup Forums
apply yourself and direct your hatred to something that actually deserves it, retards

We get it, you're reddit. Kill yourself

Have you ever actually read reddit comments on the default subreddits
The le atheist fedora meme didn't come from nowhere.
Christopher Rogers
but you are the living garbage user, you should kill yourself
anyone that cares about Sup Forums vs reddit is either severely autistic or underaged
William White
>anyone that cares about Sup Forums vs reddit is either severely autistic or underaged good job describing yourself

you sure seem to care with all your reddit defending
Xavier Lewis
max martin and a handful of guys writes 99% of all the music on the radio it's quite sad.

well no, for the same reason i don't usually browse dumb shit like Sup Forums or Sup Forums
Oliver Campbell

Bentley Nelson
and that isn't sad?

humanity is sad and people are sheep. sun can't come soon enough.

haha you sure went meta on me there! top memery my brainletfriends!
for all that you are blaming me for defending reddit you sure seem retarded enough to fit into the reddit crowd unless you are gonna pull out your "i was just pretending to be retarded" card now
Wyatt Watson
nope. only a few ppl in math class will score 100's thats how life is. the best come up on top and the rest struggle for scraps
Christian Reyes
And my post is still the best out of all of you idiots. I actually addressed the OP's question without insulting him or others.
Read and take notes on what it means to write a decent response, normies. This is a patrician post. ()
wow it's almost like everything is relative right????
fucking retards, why was this thread made and why do you think you're so smart?
Samuel Long
you are indeed, kill yourself

Yeah, and he’s super rich and well respected within the industry. I’m not shedding any tears for him.

Chase Perez
it goes both ways. proof redditors lack self awareness.
Jackson Stewart
Well maybe if you actually tried to read my post instead of glossing over it and arguing irrelevantly over some stupid posts, I wouldn't have to do that. And by the way, we patricians get ignored by Normies until they expose their fragility, and throw it into the wretched ground.
Aiden Young
no you're just sad because no one gave you the attention you feel you deserve. much like people who make complex music feel entitled to be complimented on being complex. fuck off

Give me one legitimate reason why you ignored my post. You all read the replies, yet you couldn't even just reply to mine "Wow, this is the least insightful post I've ever read. Kill yourself" or something? How could my post get ignored?
Andrew Russell
people aint gonna bother with long posts are you new here or what
Dominic Johnson
Same thread claimed Danny Brown, and MF Doom were obscure.
Owen Butler
clearly the kid is probably like 16.
Adam Jenkins
pretty sure anybody under the age of 30 knows who pewdiepie is you fucking idiot
Ethan Ramirez
dude it['s a fucking Sup Forums post about nujabes. why do you care so much. you're not saying anything ground breaking you're just some sperg who puts too much effort into an anime forum
Kevin Johnson
So how come he got a reply? Just say my post was meaningless or beautifully insightful or something and move on!

If this was 2004, yep.

Joseph Collins
That's what I thought, too, until when I told all my friends about him, they were like, "What store do you get it from?"
I can't. Summit Cuicide has now been taken over by the emos, and their mascara and blood has flooded the entire mountain. Plus the cabin inside the book hates me, so I can't sleep inside. And plus, I don't feel worthy enough to die. What if death's such an amazing thing and I'll disgrace it by dying?
Brayden Cook
>Niggas wanna feel special cause most niggas ain't. this is actually pretty true. and reddit is the epitome of this
Kevin Reed

effeminate as hell.
Andrew Rodriguez
Is that good?
William Murphy
Oh, heck no! I finally get replies only to be discarded as a bone from a fish? THIS THREAD IS NOT OVER!!!!
Parker Ortiz
The internet messes up your view of what's popular or not. I was talking with someone I used to work with and he likes Tom Waits so we were talking about him. I said he was a pretty well known musician but he didn't think so so he asked everyone that passed us if they had heard of him and nobody had. Obviously this depends on your area too though. But a lot of stuff that's popular for people on certain parts of the internet would probably have nobody know who they are if you just asked around on the street.

It an artist/group isn't on the Billboard Top 100, they're obscure

Parker Miller
I am the king of music, painting, sports, sex, politics, economics, cuisine, cinema, martial arts, botany, technology, biology, philosophy, chemistry, physics, and business. I am well versed and educated in all these subjects and succeed in everything I do. I have been blessed with an IQ of 198. By gracing you simpletons with my ruminations on the nature of contemporary society, I am gifting you with free brain food and intellectual nourishment. You should be reading my post and analyzing it as if it came from the pen of Plato himself. You should be on your knees and thanking me for the gift I have bestowed upon you if you have even the slightest logical inclination. I have a dearth of life experience and knowledge that people magnitudes older than me can only dream of acquiring. For my post to be ignored is incredibly disrespectful and in the end only hurting yourself. You are wasting time debating this topic, when the definitive answer has already been laid out several posts above you. If you bothered to read it, you'd be kissing my feet and begging for me to tell you more from my well of cognition.
Caleb Myers
Weirdly by that reddit definition Death Grips would be obscure.
Michael Peterson
I tried. If Facebook is your average, functioning, socially-successful friend, Reddit is that insufferable pseudo-intelectual that HAS to state how high is his or her moral ground and how "intellectual" he or she is.
Sup Forums is just a self-loathing guy that knows to not take himself too seriously
Also, le upboats are fucking cancer to the the max.
Christopher Johnson

yeah humanity is garbage because people dont know the name of the guy who writes top 40 songs calm down there shadow

Obscure to a certain degree, most people into hip hop are rarely into the production side of things.
I really really doubt that, If anything the most known is probably DJ Honda since he did the most outside work outside Japan. And hes still not that very well known. Anything outside of the US is really underground and has its entirely own scene. People forget its only recent music has become widely available and less exclusive.
