@LastEmperor2k2 as a black man I can never hate another brother guts. You as a white man tho


this is something people hate to acknowledge.
Disregard his antics off stage...cause SINCE THEN Kanye is one of the GOATs and has improved ever since then

I believe I did...
College Dropout was one of the most relatable albums that I ever heard (outside of Ressurection, Atliens and One Day It Will All Make Sense) I related much more to it than any Tupac, Nas, Ice Cube or Wu-Tang album although I'm huge fans of all of them..
Being relatable in itself doesn't make music good...But for someone like Kanye who is a marginally talented lyricist, with a shaky tone and delivery that relatability made up for his weaknesses to me..
Now that, thats gone I find myself less intrigued and attracted to his work.. As do the majority of his "Day 1 fans" as you can see from his steady decline in sales, popularity and influence..
But he doesn't HAVE to go backwards and I don't HAVE to move forward with him.. It is what it is.. He'll always have guys like Chris Brown and Harry B that will listen to audio of him spitting into a tin cup and call it genius...

Bound 2 would have been a throwaway track on his first two albums...The fact that people kept pointing to that and Blood On The Leaves as examples that he still "got it" just showed how far the bar had been lowered to me..You're right, he doesn't have to go backwards. Bound 2 is a perfect example. It has the classic Kanye sound mixed with the "genius" throwing random lyrics out there and waiting for his fans to suck him off for it. There's a bit of something for everybody.
His last album was the asbolute worst shyt he ever made.
At some point you lose any sense of self-regulation, he truly believes everything he makes is gold, that last album was evidence of that.
It was awful lyrically, sonically and every other way an album can be awful.
I understand how people can love and hate Yeezus...The production was good to me...I just liked it better when El-P did it on RTJ because Killer Mike had the voice, delivery and content to compliment it..But Ye's pen game (or ghostwriting team) was missing in action and his delivery was off key and out of pocket...To me its a album I would make if I were a rapper and as a producer wish I made, I would be confident as fukk if I were him too cause he makes music he wants to make and makes millions for it, Cant blame him. Growing up listening to Nine Inch Nails and recently Tricky and Throbbing gristle they make me understand and like the album with a different ear. If you're already listening to this album already wanting a specific hip hop sound and hating on kanye you're bound to hate it.

The soul asthetic was there but them bars were triddash...
