Post-MBDTF, Kanye has been using great production to trick nikkas into listening to his incoherent ramblings put into rhyme form.

I didn't even buy late registration which says a lot cuz I used to pride myself on buying anticipated albums especially on their release dates.

I needed something new so I bought graduation. It turned me off big time cuz he was blatantly using easy samples. Like he wasn't sampling, he was flat out redoing classic songs like puffy in the 90's and murder inc in the 00's. I'll never forgive him for desecrating Move On Up by Curtis Mayfield. But I will say I loved Flashing Lights off that album but that was about it.

So he lost me after college dropout.

It probably is but as someone who was 16 and was totally blown away when So Far Gone dropped, I have to give 808's its credit as the foundation for that sound (and the subsequent OVO sound). Muted drums and samples being passed through low pass filters wasn't really being used widely like that until 808's came out.
You have a point but at the same time both projects were being recorded at about the same time and songs like Brand New that had the sound were out before 808's.

Damn, do you like The Chronic? I'd say that was blatant usage of easy sampling.

Never dropped a wack album. The GOAT

The people who are meant to get Yeezus get Yeezus. You don't like Yeezus you got basix ears and wear boot cut jeans beloved

youre a dikkrider, because even Kanye admitted it isnt what it was meant to be

I loved it and plenty of people love it. Only track I skip is "I can't hold my liquor".

It's amazing live too :banderas:

I am still a fan, but will admit my fandom started wavering a bit with Yeezus. I like a few tracks up there but overall it did nothing for me. I like TLOP better than Yeezus but it pails in comparison to his previous projects. I will check all his future projects still but I don't think he will ever top his great albums from the past.
