I think it's inventive, even though the influences are clear, and I think it's pretty interesting, but... Well, how do I put this? ... I just... I don't think anyone who liked Kanye West would probably wear that. It's like... If someone REALLY LOVED Ronald Reagan, would they sport a t-shirt with his "Land of Confusion" video puppet on it?

 


Know what I'm saying? I think this artwork would be great, for example, in a comic book that featured a number of celebrities as the main characters, and focused on the worst, most vapid elements of the celebs' personalities. Maybe if you applied that style to an image of the famous Kanye teddy-bear, it would feel a little more like a celebration of the guy. But he looks like a PCP addict who's not above buggering infants in that particular frame.

Sorry- not trying to be a dick. It's fascinating... Really...and maybe it would appeal to a young black Ye fan. But it's just really weirding me out, right now. Looks like my own face when I'm on far too high a dose of mushrooms and looking in the mirror.

No offense.

Haha none taken. That's the whole point. It's an intense picture and not your usual, but we (drawer and I) like it so we figure someone else might. We've sold a few already, so we'll see how it goes from here. At the moment it's early days and we're still feeling things out.

If you guys are interested here's some more of his drawings https://www.facebook.com/nashdrawsil.../photos_stream

Crew for your look.

But listen, if someone started marketing a line of dress casual clothes with tasteful and unassuming embroidered Dead Kennedys or SY or Aphex Twin or Kanye logos on the breast pockets or cufflinks, I think that person could make a lot of money with the aging punks, acid heads and thugs who need to look professional at work, but don't want to stop repping their hardcore roots.

Metalheads in particular would probably flock to a fashion line like this, since so many of them have IT jobs which allow for nothing but the occasional neat ponytail as a means of self expression.

Maybe you could get in on this. My girlfriend makes clothes and sells them on Etsy (you know her as E. noise field if at all) and is kind of brilliant when it comes to DIY fashion. And I briefly spent some time taking Graphic Design electives in college, so. Maybe we could all be happy opportunistic capitalists together!!! Have your peopl call my people (ie PM me) if you're interested.

Hmm, you've raised some good points. I'll talk it over with the other one.

Thanks for the tips guys. Always needed.

Anyone heard this yet? Just giving this a whirl now and so far, so pretty good. Let's see how it holds up for the rest of the album.

Let's face it guys: Carter and Carter II were his classics of their era, and eventually they'll be forgotten. C3 was a fluke, with great production being more responsible for its timelessness than Wayne's actual talent. It's a great record, but set those lyrics against typical, dead on arrival beats like those on- well - just about every album since C3, and C3 would be just as forgettable.

C4 had a moment or two, and so did most of his tapes, but homie's done.

Drake has surpassed him as a rapper and a creative voice and even a brand. And Drake's a former child soap actor, the most unlikely rap star ever. Wayne should bow out.
this guy was an idol for me, it truly sucks to see him tarnishing his legacy like that. even though Rebirth, Carter 4 and IANAHB2 weren't great, they were fun with a few gems and Wayne wasn't taking himself seriously so i couldn't hate. on FWA it actually sounds like he's trying hard to impress me with technical rapping skills, and falling off short.

if he's still got a few good songs on his vault, then he needs to put them on Carter 5, release it then call it a day.

lol, a lot of people in your age say that about 99% of today's hip-hop so that's fine.

I honestly do not see why people love him. His voice grates me to the point where I find it nigh on un-listenable.

His voice is grating, indeed, but that wouldn't matter as much if actually rhymed properly or had some lyrics worth hearing. I mean B Real and the Beastie Boys, El-P, Eminem & Thirstin Howl III could probably all be said to be grating but they're all actually good rappers so it doesn't matter.

Drake's voice is very accessible, i mean he wouldn't be the hottest rapper today if it wasn't. this guy started as a fucking child actor, people used to see him as a cornball, he HAD TO be an incredible rapper to get to where he is now, but whatever.

http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/video...9hsNJamITkeq43 - Drake doing "Too Much" on Fallon (starts around the 05:30 mark). such an emotional song with great lyrics and simply A1 technical rapping. honestly one of the best performances i've seen from a rapper.

This is my general gripe with rappers these days, they say something in a loose slack jawed or gruff way (probably about their possessions, be that cars/money/women/drugs/clothes*), they repeat it, they repeat it again, they repeat it again, they leave a gap, they repeat half of it and then sing the end bit, they say about three words that don't rhyme and don't scan, they leave a gap, they say the first thing again...etc. Over a beat with a skittery/ticky drum pattern that sounds a bit like somebody winding up an egg timer.

Dude, Ma$e was the biggest hottest rapper for a while and his voice and rhyming were awful, all I get from what you say here is that Drake is the Selena Gomez of rap.
