Wonder what percent of people have cultivated enough of a musical ear to appreciate whatever he’s talking about.https://twitter.com/johnnyrodgersis/status/1187223639814365184 …

If I remember correctly, there was about a year where about four times a week, I would listen to Kanye West's entire discography in reverse-chronological order. There was a couple years of deep-diving on music blogs before that, but not a lot transferred between genres.
Hmm this is a good data point. So 200 listens of what, 10 albums at an hour each, so 2000 hours training of auditory cortex alone. Plus all the meta learning for 2 years.

And did you listen to a lot of his input influenced? Genres, artists he samples etc?

At 7 albums * 45m, I'd call it closer to 1000 hours. Some of all of the above—cut tracks, influences, but moreso just following the music press. There are people who can name the deep-cut samples on a track on their first listen, and that's a _very_ different level.

really depends on your pre existing level of music knowledge. music/sound has been a large part of my life - personally and professionally - almost forever. i'd be mostly comfortable telling you things about an artist's work - a la reed's review - after a few listens.

music is extremely iterative - it builds off what came before. analysis is less about understanding the new and more connecting it to the old. the larger your catalog and the deeper your knowledge of how that catalog came to be, the faster you can chew through the latest release
