^^ whoa, chill dude!! my post was in the context of what Kayne did at the Grammy's. not as a musician or producer or anything else and i like him just fine. wasn't comparing Zappa or West as artists.

he's just not a spokesman for these kinds of things, whether if he was being serious or not. he's definitely not as articulate AS YOU are when expressing his opinions.

it seems to me his critique of the grammy system was a back fire that again shot it's load in his face. like he was dared to jump up there and do it. your clearly not too stupid to see this considering the before and after of his comments.

do you want me to quote the before and after Beck incident?

sev I love the whole Kanye destroyed Puffy thing. That's a good thought.

**"uh uh Duh!!! Bush doesn't care about....yo.. yo Beyone had the greatest of all duh"**

**shurgs, then gently hands mic back to Taylor**

**fakes out bum rush while Becky is confused**

**eats his own words then makes up some bullshit excuse about what he meant**

it all seems like a crass attempt to impress his bros or whatever, then he sits down and his friends jokingly laugh at him.

also, why does Suchfriends emphasize " im not hating" so much after criticizing everything that most of the users love in this thread?

like the GOD OF HIP HOP is going to scorn everything he listens to thereafter. encouraging him to feel hateful towards everything he loved or ever loved as music? accusing him of racism and non-forwardness.

Criticism is not hating. Hating is blind and empty. Further its negative and personal. I ain't got no personal problems with Kanye as a human being, and i am basing by criticism on actually having listened to his music.

it seems like just another populist inflected guilt trip to foster the same old 'popist vs. what you like' that was started ten years ago.

that needs to fucking end!!!!!!

How bout before you keep talkin out yo a$$ you better ask somebody

there's not enough users on this board to occupy our time.

No, you dont have to quote. I've heard/read it.

I agree thay he's not very articulate. I actually suspect he might be a bit dyslexic... His ego and bombast provide a pretty excellent cover, making it seem as though he's just obnoxious, with a hair-trigger. But I've watched a few interviews, read a few quotes, that seem to demonstrate a lack of fluidity in his speech.

Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

He's not stupid by any means... Dyslexia doth not a dumbass make. But I feel like he struggles with words when the cameras are on.

His songwriting, however, is eloquent, clever, powerful, and hilarious depending on what the song calls for. I think he is a born artist. The kind of person who probaby couldn't function if he wasn't making music.

I think he found a way to communicate and express himself when he started making beats and learning to produce. He admits to being a shitty lyricist for a long time before he really hit it big. I think he's able to communicate through sound and flow more honestly than through actual speech.

That's why he's, like, ridiculously fucking good at it. He has synaesthesia (which makes sense and would certainly not be out of place next to dyslexia) so I think he has a mind for creating, and an innate ability to create sounds and words that perfectly represent his emotions.

I just compared him to Superman, and backspaces it out of humiliation. Ha.

Now y'all ninjaz is finally speaking my language

Kanye's performance of "Wolves" on SNL last night was so good. no doubt in my mind he's about to drop another amazing album.

yeah that was great. I loved the "Jesus Walks" excerpt as well.

"Don't fool yourself
Your eyes don't lie, you're much too good to be true
Don't fire fight
Yeah I feel you burning, everything's burning
Don't fly too high
Your wings might melt, you're much too good to be true
I'm just bad for you
I'm just bad, bad, bad for you
I'm just bad, bad, bad for you"

damn.

cmon, this is some gossip shit.. if you wanna criticize him at least go for his music!

Is it me or was his voice fucked? Whilst not blessed with a singing voice he fucked up a few times.

However Wolves is a great track. Just give us a fucking release date!!!

i can't. i actually enjoy it. you guys just got to talking about Kayne so i threw in my two cents.

*shrugs*

haha it's all good then.

so yeah that Drake is good.

New KillahPriest is ok.. new Cappadona is th shit

Drake's tape is pretty much his Rich Forever. it serves as a bunch of leftovers that won't make it to his new album. the first half is full of bangers which are pretty samey production-wise but they're all hard. the last few songs is where it gets more mellow and really interesting musically.

the amount of different flows he's used here though, he's a beast now.

"Know Yourself" and "Jungle" are top-tier Drake.

Theres a new cappadonna?

Some preview tracks yes

I haven't heard "Wolves" ... Or the Rhianna track.... I'm just not into piecemealin' a new Kanye album together song by song. I want to get smacked in the goddamn chest by a new album in all its motherfuckin' glory.

I want to know what the fuck is up with the delayed album release. Everybody's talking about the Carter 5 as though it's at all relevant compared to a new Kanye album. We've already heard 2 official massive mixtapes from Wayne since his last album in 2013, but Kanye's gave us almost nothing until "Only One."

I want a fucking official spec sheet. Album title, artwork, tracklist, guest appearances, production, samples, scratches.

Ima have a tantrum.

Iggy Azalea lyrics

Iggy Iggy pussy illy
Wetter than the Amazon
Taste this kitty
Silly Billy poppin' pilly's
Smoke it like a swisher
Lick this philly
Mold em ah! Soak em ah!
Hook em like crack, after shock
Molten ah! Lava drop
This should be outlawed, call me Pac
(Pu$$y pu$$y)
The illest on the planet
Better play ya cards right Mr. Gambit
If you wanna hang here, ain't no Hammock
Never, no better, law should ban it
Never, no better, law should ban it
I do it right, wit drugs understand it
I do it right, now please sir pan it



First thing's first, I'm the realest (realest)
Drop this and let the whole world feel it (let them feel it)
And I'm still in the Murda Bizness
I could hold you down, like I'm givin' lessons in physics (right, right)
You should want a bad bitch like this (huh?)
Drop it low and pick it up just like this (yeah)
Cup of Ace, cup of Goose, cup of Cris
High heels, somethin' worth a half a ticket on my wrist (on my wrist)
Takin' all the liquor straight, never chase that (never)
Rooftop like we bringin' '88 back (what?)
Bring the hooks in, where the bass at?
Champagne spillin', you should taste that

Sev.. folks are going back to the 90s model of having singles and releasing them early to generate buzz. Its also part of the mix tape thing, like where i heard previews of what will probably be new KillahPriest and new Cappadona albums

Sunday Candy is easily one of my fav things Chance has done: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vQriCKszlHc

Yeah I get it and it's fine for everybody but Kanye.

He hasn't dropped a mixtape since... '07? And his singles an albjms have always gone hand in hand. From the first single you get a feeling for how the albums going to sound. Except with Yeezus.

I just want the mothetfucking album, but watch it take until June to hit shelves.

sometime in June? yr about right.


if it's as good or better as Yeezus, i'll bow and blow my head off.

then again i hadn't heard Yeezus in ages. is it personal or some internet twitter super future ideology?

sign of the times. compare him to Prince or are you too scared too? yeah, i said it.

ok, Brian Wilson.

people hated it because they wanted hip hop and not some 3d version rocknrap iphoneinternetrules album.

still like it

take Joey,Chance,Kendrick, or Killer Mike any day over him anyway.

are you foreverasskiss? missed you dude.

Kanye West's New Album Is 80% Done
http://www.thefader.com/2015/02/20/k...beck-but-didnt

I've been just blasting Kanye's full discography on shuffle for the past week, and I haven't skipped a single song. His music hits me like nothing else out there, and I think the new album is going to be another album that's extremely good and extremely hard to rank as being better or worse than Yeezus or MBDTF.

I don't even have a favorite Ye album anymore. Everything kills, including Cruel Summer and WTT and just about all the singles and one-offs. If I had to rank I'd put Twisted Fantasy on top, but only because I can't seem to start that album without finishing it.

But real talk, Late Registration, when I'm by myself and really feeling it, is every bit as essential in a completely different way. "Gone" and "Celebration" and "Late" and of course "Diamonds..." It's all fucking killer. And so is Graduation. And 808s, and Dropout and blah blah! He either makes me feel invincible or he makes me think. Sometimes I cry. Whatever, he does things that nobody else can do, and after 8 records, I'm pretty sure we can rule out the idea that this is somehow a fluke. He'll keep bringing it til it's done brought.

lonely day.

Fucking shit is this the hip hop thread or the kanye thread?

I think...

Dark Twisted
Graduation
Yeezus
Watch The Throne
Cruel Summer
808s
Late Registration
College Dropout

but like you sev, even the lowest on the list are excellent albums.

suchfriends, did you hear about his Black Knights album that came out last yaer produced by John Frusciante? Holy shiz that sounds dope.

albums I want suchfriends to listen to and give feedback on:

Kendrick Lamar - Section.80
YG - My Krazy Life

Fucking shit NO I DID NOT and I'm immediately looking for it. Black Knights was the only Wu bumped for yearz yo!

As much as i don't personally dig it i know that kendrick lamar is shit in some different dimension from string theory something i would bump so ill check it out
