19 year old Kanye West at Fat Beats Aug 1996

[Giselle]

96, the year I was born

"Kanye didn't write none of his shyt ever"
So nikkas ghostwrote his off the head freestyle bars?
Drake fans hit every thread of any nikka who had "help" in attempts to justify the NONWRITER OF ALL NONWRITERS

Bro I don't know if he wrote this or not but this shyt DAMN sure wasn't off the head. Lol

 

[PIFF101]

I was listening like

That's Yeezy!

This is off the top Kanye, reading listener messages and basing his rhyme of them.


Another one


Mixing some off the top with some bars

My uncle(underground rapper named Problemz) freestyled that day at Fat Beats as well. His boy Al-Tariq (from the BeatNutz) is who Kanye passed the mic to when he finished. Ye use to give them beats back then. I remember him telling me about Kanye from then. He said he was always enthusiastic and passionate about his music.

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Man why can't he go back to being broke and having no fans, keeping it real

 

[Zero]

the God Connect album

 

[John Hull]

Yea 2 out of the 3 biggest rappers are Kendrick and J. Cole due to their beats. And Drake was spitting bars until lately too.
J. Cole dropped a joint with bars got like 25 replies, Desiigner dropped one got like 500 replies of nikkas crying about there's no bars. Dudes like to forget that dudes like Logic move more units than Young Thug, like the grumpy Donald Trump cacs crying about society being against them.


There's music for everyone now, there's bars if you want that, there's crazy strip club joints if you want that, crazy shyt for clubs, for the hype beasts, the ones that want street shyt, political, melodic rap, handicap rap, christian rap, monotone rap, UK rap even, or Grime as they call it.

The balance is getting better, ignorant shyt is still overrepresented as far as new artists goes. But there's plenty of shyt, if you're not a lazy listener only looking at who is making hits.

Shut up

 

[Harry B]

Shut up

Don't ever quote me again until someone knows who you are, stain.
