is Kanye trolling the game?

[Mac Casper]

He's just trying to expand the boundaries of hip-hop. Even if he fails I wish more rappers were like that.

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

I'm really tired of people saying this. He isn't expanding the boundaries of anything other than how shytty he can make his music.

Lol... I can't get mad because I never considered him a rapper to begin with.


So from that perspective he's done well for himself

Bullshyt. Late registration and College dropout prove he can be a great rapper

Yeezus is our version of Radiohead's Kid A. Prior to Kid A, Radiohead made three albums that revolved around amazing SONGS. Along the way, they made the masterpiece Ok Computer which featured a lot of experimentation but the shyt never went too far. The songs still came first. Then they went off the deep end and dropped Kid A and everyone stood around and acted like the shyt was brilliant when it was awful. Why? Because it was Radiohead. People were afraid to admit that it sucked because they were afraid it would make them look ignorant. After all who wants to be the village idiot? The SONGS on Yeezus are just bad. It doesn't matter why they are bad they are just bad. So Kanye brushed up on his Trent Reznor and dusted off some old Underworld ideas. OK cool, whatever, but the shyt is not breaking any new ground. And the SONGS are terrible. The hardest part about being a pioneer is never forgetting about the songs. Radiohead eventually figured this out. I am sure Kanye will too.But in the meantime, let's quit acting like this so-called art is anything less than a hot mess.

Kid A was a great album, but it's a good comparison, because it wasn't actually original- it was just them ripping off stuff like Aphex Twin and putting it into a rock/pop context, just like Kanye here is ripping off several underground hip-hop acts and putting it into a pop context. The difference is that this one doesn't have good songs, just some good beats.

Kid A is dope tho...

 

[J-Fire]

He's acting like he's fighting for his right for his music to exist. The problem is he doesn't have a cause. NWA had it with Straight Outta Compton. Eminem had it with Marshall Mathers LP...those were reactionary albums. This is not.

don't forget blueprint and stillmatic were reactionary albums. the cause of beefing for king

 

[Street Knowledge]

He's just having fun out there

 

[No Homo]

[LucaBrasi]

Breh, there's honestly no point.

Stans especially Kanye one's are robotic. They can't listen or digest any form of outsider opinion. 'Kanye is a unique genius' and nothing else

I and every unbiased person can clearly see you are saying you don't like the LYRICAL content but they will ignore that and keep saying the same shyt about how these album is pushing envelopes and ignore you're point.

It's the most robotic thing ever

You're presence on every page in every kanye thread seems ROBOTIC to me :bronpls:

#TPC

I like the album, but if it ain't your cup of tea then cool I ain't trippin

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

This isn't a hip hop album though thats the thing. Lyricism doesn't really matter as long he brings the energy to match the production.

Punk Rock singers made a whole career out of jus bringing raw energy to the music.

Actually one of punk rock's biggest hallmarks is cramming as big + poignant a message into as few words as possible

Literally the opposite of what Yeazle does (saying a whole bunch of nothing)

 

[NvrCMyNut]

I wonder how many of yall ''understand'' yeezus and think it's ''breaking down boundaries'' have heard

Gotta cosign with the others..Kid A is great. So is OK computer...they are my top two from radio head. Finna listen to that shyt now after this crap Yeezus stops

If he wanted to make an album of all songs like bound 2 (which I'm glad he didn't) then it would still be >>> 95% of your favourite rappers so he's not wack.

You just don't like the music
