Why is Kanye getting a pass? Nas caught hell when he "sold out"

Idk why your acting like you didn't read what I wrote.
"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."
Bro, I understand that Ye can come from any angle with his next project, but to say he wasn't "carrying the torch" is unfair. Dude was working with Dilated Peoples, Jay, Mos, Talib, Consequence, the game, Common, Nas, Dipset, etc!!!! I bet Kanye himself would take that as disrespect.
Mind you he didn't do this accidentally, he was creating this image for himself whether you believe it or not. I don't even know who was he working with before he caught a buzz, but Kanye definitely KNOWS whats hip hop and whats not. Don't try to give him a pass by saying "he never said he was strictly hip hop!", actions speak louder than words.
I'm done with this back and forth thing, if your willing to admit as a fan that Ye's been slacking hard the last few years then get back to me. I really am a fan of dudes music, but lets be realistic brehs

Here's the thing... I know who he was workin' with... but I also recall him working with people OUTSIDE of that realm too, AT THE SAME TIME. Even when you say he was workin' with Dipset... they're a lot closer to the Rick Ross/Lil' Wayne/2Chainz side of things than the Common/Talib/Mos camp. Content and stylewise, Dips were about the closest thing to a Down South group from NY you could get. And all the same, just like he was workin' with Consequence, he was workin' with Paul Wall. That's what I'm sayin' about Kanye... he's kinda always run the gamut when it came to the artists he did songs with. It was never just him devoting himself to one section of the rap game. That GOOD Friday shyt proved that. One week it could be some shyt with Common, next week it's some shyt with Rick Ross, Jay and Nicki. And sometimes, it's a song with Raekwon and Swizz Beatz for the hell of it. He's one of the only artists that are in the middle of ALL that shyt at once. And you can go all the way back to the first album for evidence of that. He still does the shyt to this day... who else raps on trap beats AND does a track with the RZA on the same album?
Kanye went from the Work Out plan to Murder To Excellence. Dumbass
The Work Out Plan at least sounded natural.
I guess I'm the only person on the planet that liked 808s. It was something he needed to do and I can appreciate that. Unfortunately, it also lead to him unleashing his more "experimental" side and instead of "A Good Ass Job," we got MBDTF. I didn't like one track off that album. Wait hold up, I lied, Power.

power and the joint with raekwon was dope. the raekwon track was originally supposed to be on Good Ass Job.

how do you mean?
Radiohead recreates themselves every single album and none of them sound alike. On one album they are extremely experimental on the next they are taking it back to the roots, then on another they are blending elements of a bunch of different styles. They have a huge fanbase, but there are always stans for every album they have and people always want them to revisit the sound they had on a previous album. If that makes sense

Creep.

I liked 808s too. I dont think there is a bad song on the album.
MBDTF is a good album I just didnt see the point of it coming of the heels of 808s
More like U2.
I tried listening to Achtung Baby and The Joshua Tree and never liked them so I can't speak on their careers or music

Wrong. hiphop heads started hating on Nas when "it was written" came out.
