Charlamagne: Kanye's a Walking Contradiction Now

[jwinfield]

You can't impregnate Kim Kardashian and be a revolutionary against capitalism and it's exploitive nature.

They announced the gender of the baby on her tv show

I'm a Gemini too and I can't rock with the fukkery ...


How is this album not playing it safe ? 808s was more risky to me he almost made a damn r and b album but I still loved it . Doing songs with daft punk is not risk taking or groundbreaking in 2013 maybe in 2005? but not after daft punk has had a main stream resurgence , or do you mean talking about being a new slave as he tries to get me to buy some yeezys and selling his baby pictures to people magazine ?
I'm not really sure where all this growth I'm supposed to hear in this album or all this artistry . You just sound like a sheep to me who runs with the kanye is a mad genius thing the media pushes . He did a far better job of balancing his contradictions in previous albums to me . I'm not expecting another cd I've brought every kanye album and this one seems like he he was simply all over the place .

The Hip Hop artist that created CD, LR and Graduation, creating Yeezus is safe??
That was safe??
He risked dissappointing his fanbase in the highest degree.
nikka outchea making songs like Black SkinHeads but thats safe??

Keep it funky...u dnt like the album or Kanye so now ur tryna attach some moral agenda to it for some sort of justification for ur distaste for the new Kanye..

nikka please you aint fooling no damn body nikka

Lol@ the bolded..teh album was all over the place when it came to sounds and what not yet you say the album was safe???

nikka you dnt know what the fck you sayin rii now nikka

Stop it

 

[T-K-G]

great points!

Yall should be lawyers.

Then thats fine. I have no problem with people thinking that. You're allowed to think that. As long as someone's opinion isn't based in media portrayals or the private exploits of a person, then I don't care.

How do you feel about the album ?

Lemme ask you this, if Big Pun did make a fitness DVD, and if said DVD actually contained scientifically accurate information, and it was produced and made well, is it a valid entry in the genre of fitness DVDs? I think so.

Why should it matter if Pun himself didn't follow the advice of his workout DVD? The message is still valid.

Thats basically how i feel about Kanye. Let the music and the message stand alone, and if you still don't like it, then fine. So be it.
But if you're evaluating Kanye's music based on his relationship with Kim K, his wardrobe choices, or his altercations with paparazzi, then you're a fool.

Critics always bring in this irrelevant, periphery bullshyt about a person's character or personal life to cheapen or detract from the message.

Think about Republicans bringing up Obama's relationship with Rev. Wright

Think about the rumor/fact (not sure if its been confirmed or even possible to confirm) that MLK Jr. used church funds to hire prostitutes and sometimes even beat them.
Sure, its terrible, but should that detract from his message? NO.

(And NO, I'm not comparing Kanye to either of these guys)

How do you feel about the album ?

I like it a lot. Its probably Kanye's worst album, though. Maybe. I'll see if im still playin it in 6 months.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

What a jackass

 

[the cac mamba]

but now hes spitting the same cocky type rhymes he been spitting for 10 years and everyone is bashing him
:

the music was passable before, now its passed the point of no return

shyt is absolute trash. fukk his pseudo rebellious message

and for the record at anyone who thinks whites feel threatened by this 'new kanye'

 

[Ohene]

I'm trying to have a open and honest exchange of ideas but you sound like a fool . I asked you to try and give me your opinion on what makes this album so edgy and creative as opposed to just being simply all over the place .
What makes black skinheads this revolutionary song ??? Your acting like he's farrakhan or something . He performed the song on snl for gods sake Jesus walks as a single is a bigger risk , and I love how you left out 808s that was a r and b album and I liked it . Your acting like I don't like kanye when I do he's one of my favorite .
What I like about him even with the contradictions he seemed to be selfaware that he had flaws and could come off across as a a$$hole . He seemed to make sure to put himself into his music like he had a personal connection , I still remember the guy on trl crying saying to buy his album since he went way overbudget with live instrumentation and shyt .

you know I guess i didnt listen to the lyrics closely enough because I dont know where ALL this rebellion, trying to be different shyt is coming from. I literally never expected a regular, soulful hip hop album especially after watch the throne came out and even MBDTF.

If ya'll are the idiots looking out for the marketing schemes, watching TMZ vids and falling for it then it is your problem. I personally wait for the leak...listen to the music and if its good buy the album. STFU and stop complaining. He doesnt owe anybody anything...if the music is shyt...shut it off and then listen to Schoolboy Q or Wale. This isnt the 90s where we have to pay and pray. THERE IS NO fukkING REASON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A DOWNLOAD.

Dude actually had me feeling sorry for him at one point, like damn they got this nikka walking into street signs, that shyt is an OBVIOUS fake.

That's a honest assessment , I don't think it's trash it's Just his worse album . I like it but more a lukewarm thing

You sound like a idiot breh niccas are entitled to their opinions who are you to tell them how they should feel . There is a reason the arts have critics to criticize the art ..,,and yes if he's releasing a album for sale he owes his fans a good product . He's not putting it on sale for fun ..... And as far as worrying about marketing kanye made it a big deal with all guerrilla artist style gimmicks to make this album seem like a raw revolutionary release

Who's forcing you to buy the album though? It's like running out of a variety store with a stolen bottle of Coca-Cola only to get angry at the store owner because it blew up in your face once you opened it.

Who told you to run and shake the bottle?
Who told you to steal it?

As far as the gimmicks who cares? Yall really pay attn to that shyt and fall for it? It was obviously a scheme based on what I've heard about it. The nikka had his face projected on buildings reciting lyrics or whatever and ya'll didnt think there was any marketing behind it?
