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

[kermit da hustla]

fukk them nikkas. We going to speak truth to power in this bytch. He has fallen off and its glaring. Theraflu Mercy

nikka showed flashes on WTT. The Joy is >> there were some joints on MBDTF that made me I'm not going to lie but there were joints during Nas' 97-00 run that made me

All in All Nas got back on his shyt with Stillmatic and to some degree never looked back. Kanye needs someone to light a fire under his ass.

you revisionist nas stans are the worst, acting like nas' albums (post IWW) haven't been suspect up to his most recent. give me a break. you can't compare nas' discography to kanye's. nas has illmatic and maybe iww. after that, the mediocrity of the music he put out significantly outweighs any quality. kanye's albums, including wtt, have been altogether dope.

i can put on any kanye album and know that it'll get my hyped, because the beats are guaranteed to go hard. you can't say that about a single fukking nas album except illmatic.

Kanye fell off from what? I thought Ye was never a good rapper anyways?

I continuously see posters claim Ye isnt a good rapper and that he shouldn't get any credit as an MC cus he has writers. Now ppl are expecting to go when they hear a Ye verse.

Some people just like to complain.

Biggest difference is Kanye dont rap about shyt no more

Don't rap about shyt no more?
Do you really need someone to break down shyt?

Dark Fantasy - General thoughts about what he had observed over the past few years and overcoming it. Which also serves as the main theme of the whole album.

Gorgeous - discussing the racial situation of fame and/or success for black men.

POWER - Discussing different types of Power, the power of the government, man, music, fame, white man and on.

All of the lights - General thoughts again mixed with narrating about a person living in the fukked up economic times that we are/were in.

Monster - Concept track with him and 3 other MC's rapping from different perspectives of monsters. About them, like them etc. Also a club track.

So Appalled - Being appalled with unnecessary shyt materialistic and shallow shyt but still loving it.

Devil In A new Dress - A track about loving dangerous female.

Runaway - Kanye examining himself in the most honest way.

Hell of a life - This track is all over the place, could be about nothing or everything. With lines like

"Tell me what I gotta do to be that guy
Said her price go down, she ever fukk a black guy
Or do anal, or do a gangbang
It's kinda crazy that's all considered the same thing
Well I guess alotta nikkas do gang bang
And if we run trains, we all in the same gang
Runaway slaves all on a chain gang"


Blame Game - the title is self-explanatory, it's about a song discussing relationships, equality in relationships, honesty and the other shyt those things contains.

Lost in the world - Kanye feeling lost in the world, feeling like the world is moving in the wrong direction, that our generation is lost and discussing around this broad subject with not to much lyrics but ends with a powerful speech from Gil Scott Heron.


I know a lot of lazy nikkas say music is about nothing cause the artist doesn't spell it out for 9 years olds to understand it. I appreciate simplicity like Kanyes first album but I appreciate complexity like mbdtf just as much if it's as good.

You know damn well you reaching with AT LEAST half this list

Georgeous of course no denying that

Monster is literally about nothing.

Devil in a blue dress is just about a chick. Its nothign deep about it

All of the lights: Even the part you quoted talkign about gangbanging a chick

Sp Appalled is another track just everybody bragging

cmon bruh.................

 

[10:31]

You know damn well you reaching with AT LEAST half this list

I went back and broke it down for him. That album almost made it to my


I remember listening to the intro like WTF

 

[Michael Knight]

So yall are really complaining about his bars then hyping up Graduation?

 

[Harry B]

Whats worst with this thread is that I actually think that some of these nikkas are so dumb that they are comparing kanye wests CLUB TRACKS FOR A GROUP ALBUM and DJ KHALED FEATURES with his own music.

And smh @ kanye really talking that much about ballin on WTT, 90% was Jay-z.
And the theme of the album was celebratory, sophisticated ignorance, black excellence.
It was a great album for what it was, a project. Kanye is not a rapper who does the same project twice, he got his celebratory albums, he got his college albums, his collaboration with a multi-instrumentalist, his auto-tune album.

The ballin tracks were the 2 singles and gotta have it (and 1 or 2 bars on Primetime) out of 16 tracks on Kanyes part.
Jay was ballin on Excellence, who gon stop me, primetime and illest moufukker alive as well.

 

[Harry B]

Compare this to his first three albums and its

Stick to listening to Ross and those type of rappers, ol rap genius ass nikkas

 

[OG Talk]

He never could rap...But he used to have content that was more relevant to the black experience...You can't create a song like Family Business when your new family is Bruce Jenner and the Kardashians...

 

[10:31]

Stick to listening to Ross and those type of rappers.

aww man, now we can't have a civilized discussion about other hip hop artists.

fukk does Officer Rick have to do with this?

As a matter of fact, that Rick Ross Kanye song from last week is fukking trash. Hot garbage, here this nikka goes doing all this songs with that southern sound that isn't him

And that fukking ad-lib

 

[Michael Knight]

(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

How is it a reach when none of his albums sound the same?

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

Thank you . I was too lazy to do it

I literally laughed out loud when this Stanley said Monster was a concept track.

 

[Icewatermetallik]

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....
