Bob Dylan takes us on a wide-ranging tour of songs he admires
I remember back before the internet when "music discovery" rarely involved listening to music (except the radio). I would be so interested in music, but READING about music was a horrible hit-or-mostly-miss experience. I could read something like rolling stone and then be disappointed when the music didn't capture the emotion the description portrayed.Even word of mouth was hit-or-miss unless someone had a tape in the car.
anyway... now we have infinite discoverability, and with youtube, you can get really interesting journeys like this deconstruction: https://youtu.be/QWveXdj6oZU

For those unfamiliar with MF DOOM, this video is a pretty good introduction to why he was considered to be technically brilliant.https://youtu.be/QWveXdj6oZU?t=571

Visualizing Hip-Hop Melodies (2016)
One of the most educational and interesting explainer videos I've ever seen is Vox's "Rapping, Deconstructed". Please consider this required watching, even if you have no interest in hip-hop music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWveXdj6oZUAfter you watch that, I suspect you'll hear this Kendrick Lamar track with new ears: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZTYgq4EoRo
I know that while I am still very much a jazz/rock person, those videos expanded my perception of what was musically possible. No hyperbole on my end.
⬐ BaeocystinThat was an edifying, enjoyable watch. Thanks for posting it.
