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

[Griffith]

^ that makes no sense

 

[lachreyatarbabypits]

All it takes is one example to end this thread ans fully disprove this notion that Kanye has stopped discussing social issues.



/thread enjoy the rest of your sunday.

Kanye's "sell out" music shytS on Nas' "sell out" music

also Kanye has been making accessible mainstream music since day 1

 

[DANJ!]

i take it that you off'd yourself already because you are indeed on my d*ck. i shouldnt be on your mind. you certainly arent on mines.

and i dont make threads like the one your whining about, based off opinions. youve already conceeded to that in the thread about a week or 2 ago, and you probably didnt realize it.

and this thread is on point, so i really dont mind my name being associated with it. you dont understand threads like these because youre a poo-putt @$$ dude.

and stop misrepresenting baltimore. they dont move like you out there.

Yeah, and I'm sure Philly is packed with YOUNGBULS like you, who hang out on the streets talking about the Cold Crush Brothers and make threads about their 389 favorite adlibs on albums from 1993.

I understand threads like this totally cause they're the simplest ones to understand... "_______ ain't makin' the same music they were makin' 10 years ago when I told myself they were gonna stay like that forever, so THEY did something wrong as people"... there's a gang of those I've seen. And you mighta made half of 'em.

Mbdtf is average as hell compared to his first three albums and he deff only produced one song on WTT!

mbdtf sh1ts on the college dropout

it's better lyrically and musically

you rarely hear a hip hop album with that type of ambition & emotion nowadays

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?

Yep.

"I took Freeway and threw him on tracks with Mos Def, and whether "Kwali" or "Kweli", I put him on songs with Jay-Z, I'm the Gap like Banana Republic or Old Navy."

I was telling people this from the first album.

I hope diva heard Life Is Good.

Diva, leave the euro, Lex-Luger bull shyt alone its not your lane. That We Major, Can't tell me nothing is you.

What if Nas would've kept remaking Quick To Backdown with Lil Jon???

Kanye, wake your ass up Hip Hop needs you

 

[OGJOHNNY5]

He hasn't genuinely been the same since Graduation and his new shyt is soulless. Son went from being insecure to just straight up flossy like he should be on Ca$hmoney with Birdman.

Hip hop wouldn't let my nikka Nas live during The Firm, I'am, Nastra period.


nikkas are literally giving Kanye a pass with his lazy bars. (HE DOESNT EVEN PRODUCE HIS shyt ANYMORE)

I actually agree with this.

Kanye has priced me out to a point where I can't really relate with his stuff as I once did. Along with his perplexing Jesus/God/Devil bars at times.

Dont get me wrong he's still one of my favorite artists of all time, I just dont feel the "wow" factor as I once did. I also feel he's regressed since MBDTF.

 

[10:31]

Told you

 

[DStyles]

Ye been mainstream.

That's the difference between him and the L King Nas.

You never heard nikkas in the hood talking about that College Dropout. Don't get me wrong, Kanye Kardashian makes some dope pop music.

 

[10:31]

Sigh

 

[prophecypro]

Different era, different artists, different core fanbases.
Lot of people feel in retrospect Nas caught unfair hate for IWW at least though.

 

[blackslash]

Ive already destroyed this dumb idea that Kanye somehow lost himself in other Ye threads

Not gonna do it again...instead I'll jus watch u stuck looking at the past with rose tinted glasses ass nikkaz cook
