Black Milk: I really enjoy Tronic. I bought Album of the Year and didn't like it on the first few listens. It is better than I gave it credit for but I didn't even check his latest. I always liked his beats more than his raps.

Danny Brown: Really rocked with XXX. Everything after that, I didn't even care to listen. He just lost me.

Elzhi: Everything up to the Preface was good money. I didn't like ELmatic at all and couldn't even tell you if he's dropped anything during the interim.

Evidence: Slept on Step Brothers and don't see that changing.

Fashawn: I don't know what this dude is doing. Boy Meets World is spectacular but all those Grizzly mixtapes and Champagne & Styrofoam cups and the Murs collaboration album weren't anything special. I heard he's still working with Exile for The Ecology but who knows.

Atmosphere: Stopped listening after the To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy album. Too much "Dad Rap".

Kanye West: I never felt MBDTF like that and Yeezus was the final nail in the coffin. There were some great songs marred by questionable sonic decisions.

K'naan: I don't know what happened to duke but he switched his whole style and I couldn't rock with it.

Little Brother: The album after GetBack doesn't exist to me.
Rapper Big Pooh: None of his solo works have grabbed me like Sleepers did.
Phonte: After going full R&B and with Charity Starts At Home not hitting like I wanted, I just wish they hadn't broken up.

Pacific Division (Pac Div): Remember these guys?

The Cool Kids: They were dope together but Mikey Rocks ain't hitting solo and well, they just need to get back together. The When Fish Ride Bicycles album was terrible.

Pharoahe Monch: I gotta give PTSD more listens but I'm not feeling it and I wasn't too hot on WAR.

The Roots: Stopped listening after HIGO. I rock with every album before that heavy.

Sean Price: Didn't like the last joint. Didn't resonate like Money Barz and Jesus Price Supastar.

Shad: That last album was a dud. I'll have to revisit it because he's an exceptional rapper.

Wale: Stopped listening after Attention Deficit. I really like that album.

Mr. Muthafukkin eXquire: Lost me after Kismet's release. Wasn't feeling the one before it (Man In The Castle) and took too long for the first album. I lost me interest.

Flatbush Zombies: Really enjoyed DRUGS. The next one, not so much.

Add on.

Kanye is forced fed down the throats of anyone who engages in any form of current media. He's unavoidable to the point that one is actually forced to pay attention to what Kanye is doing.

just based off that list, you're missing out on alot of good music..
I could say "you're right" but "good" is a highly subjective term. I can't do anything if the music doesn't resonate.

I don't think he's force fed but I will admit that he is kind of a big deal no Anchorman. I just wish I liked his recent stuff.

How do you listen to rap but avoid Kanye

:flabbynsick:
Didn't say that I avoid him. Just don't like what I hear.

OP you get discouraged way too easily
How so?

its like for some of them you gave up after one album wasnt as good compared to the previous ones. All artists go through ups and downs. If it was a lengthier period of mediocrity (like the Kanye eampel you mentioned) then i'd understand
12 out of 18 or 66% of my list is exactly that. That's not counting any artist with a one album flub.

Forgot to include Lupe. Didn't like LASERS and didn't cop F&L2 because I didn't like anything I heard from it. Next to it is dope so who knows.
