169538, Guiness obviously thinks Chief Keef sucks. Posted by Orbit_Established, Sat Dec-15-12 02:07 PM
He hasn't admitted yet, because like most hipsters, he's as interested in how his opinion interacts with other opinions as he is the music itself. So he has to be sure that his opinion is nuanced enough so as to not come across like the opinions of the people he likes to criticize.
He *wants* to like it, so that he can feel original and progressive for seeing the beauty in it, feeling like he still "got it" as you alluded to.
(this same logic is why Pitchfork interviews Keef at a gun range; that's artistic and chic to them)
Sad, because he'd be truly original if he just said "this sucks." That's what all the smart people in here are saying, because they're secure enough that they don't need to worry about anything but their opinion on the music.
