Nas caught hell for It was Written for crying out loud.

Always said that was always held to a higher standard. It's crazy.

Call me crazy, but I think if Ye gets humbled somehow, he'd go back to making great shyt with depth/meaning again.

I think he can too but it's going to take someone that really cares about him or inspired him to do it.

It won't be Jay-Z

why you bringing my name up? i aint got chit to do with chit. so why you on my d*ck so hard?

lol. and of course your corny @$$ would come in here waving the kanye flag.

Cause this is the type of thread you would make... your dislike of an artist translating to some off-base opinion presented as fact. shyt is right up your alley. Let's not act like you ain't got a 30-somethin' page thread going right now based off the same premise.

And for the record, if I was ever on your dikk for any reason, I'd commit suicide because I will have truly reached the lowest point in my life. Jockin' message board trolls is about as low as it gets.

This t/s is weird for sure. The thread ended last night. Then the nikka upped again this morning on sum "It aint ooveeeer :deadhorse: "


He keeps on rambling the same thing over and over. I think son may have OCD.

Not sure if anyone posted this yet but this quote from Ye should explain everything.

"So many people get caught up with remaking their first album and it's impossible. It's impossible for me to make another college dropout, but I can make the best Graduation and best 808s that I can make. That's how you keep on advancing as a hip hop artist. So few hip hop artists have ever advanced, their songs on their 7th and 8th album sound just like the songs on their first album. I'm an artist and I want to grow"

Kanye's slowly declined since Graduation... his bars are extremely subpar these days, we'll never get the emotionally invested, honest Ye like we did on College Dropout and Late Registration... he's fallen off as a producer and as a rapper, this whole damn board is Ye stans, so I don't expect anyone to agree though

(insert rapper here) puts out wack shyt= thread made about said rapper falling off



Ye puts out some bullshyt= he's "experimenting with his sound and evolving as an artist"



FOH

To me Kanye's beats have not evolved but DE-volved from those ill soul samples like on Through the Wire and I Wonder to that trap Sh!t he's been playing around with lately.....Theraflu? Mercy? Cmon now....

Where are Ye's conscious songs? The "All Falls Downs" or the "Jesus Walks" type songs.....he doesn't do those anymore....

TRUTH.ORG

You can EASILY point out the stans in this thread. If you honestly believe Ye's latest work has been his best you have serious problems. Even his album features have been worse than ever, dude was fukking with Common, Mos, Talib, John Legend, etc, to Big sean, Nicki Minaj and Kid cudi :scusthov:

Makes me think, have you guys actually LISTENED to College dropout or Late Registration?? Dude was going crazy on graduation with all the Japanese influence, but production wise that album soars over his recent ones.

:heh: @ you fools running around thinking MBDTF was one of his best works cause a bunch of MAGAZINES said so.

But go ahead and ignore the fact that he was also fukkin' with more mainstream artists back then AT THE SAME TIME. Y'all act like that nikka was strictly carryin' the torch of "real hip-hop" for years or some shyt. Cut that out man...

He just did songs with Common and Mos Def not two years ago, too... Common just got off the GOOD label, and Mos is signed to it right now.

I fail to see where you're goin' with this...

You said some real shyt about magazines and reviews, I just :beli: at people who try to bring up reviews when people talk about said artists work, those people who give reviews ain't shyt, just people sharing their opinion like other people on this board.

Your really trying to compare these two different times of his career?? :what:
Lets see....



Maroon 5 was sort of popular at this time, so i guess this was a mainstream move. But can you seriously tell me Kanye didn't make an AMAZING song?? This song alone craps on MBDTF imo. Lets look at his mainstream move for his latest crap...



He OBVIOUSLY just through Ross in this song just for the views. I can't help but think besides the exposure, was Ross cool with this?? :heh:

Listen to Kanyes verse. There's points where he sounds like hes actually mumbling. Sounds like nothing but pure :trash:

I remember a lot of people saying Jay spit a :flabbynsick: verse, but I bet if he was still hungry he would of did it wayyy better. Still weak tho.

Nicki going last was nothing shocking to me BEFORE I heard it. She was blowing up and I knew everyone would immediately say she took the song. As if this wasn't PLANNED by them :russ:

I find her vocal twitches annoying, one minute she sounds like an actual barbie, the next she sounds like the fukking cookie monster.

He even put her on his INTRO. :sitdown:

Runaway?? :why:

Stop the comparisons breh. Nobody wants Kanye to do another CD or LR. I don't have a problem with him reinventing himself. I totally bump and cosign Graduation even though a lot of people don't. But imo MBDTF was weak as hell, him working with all these great producers don't mean shyt if hes going make a weak album. I read recently where Premier said he did a couple of tracks for MBDTF but they got shelved. I bet they were straight hip hop piff, but not experimental enough for Ye and his delusional stans :yeshrug:

I already know the stans are going to attack me cause they all seem to love Monster, but it ain't rocking for me man. I rather a bunch of LR from Ye then another MBDTF.
