Nas sold out? This is news to me. When exactly did he sell out?
Let me get this straight, people actually BELIEVE MBDTF is one of Ye's best??

I don't see it as selling out. He's playing around with the "traptronic" sound, perhaps better than anyone else is right now

I wouldn't say Ye sold out but he definitely switched up his style several times. If he didn't switch up his music would get stale so I really don't see what the problem is. I didnt see nikkas complaining when he was dropping heat every week leading up to MBDTF
The music Ye is giving us now is supposed to help get his artists some exposure. You lost if you're expecting him to break out a bunch of soulful beats for Cruel Summer cus that would be left field compared to what 2 Chainz, Sean, and Pusha usually rhyme over.

Biggest difference is Kanye dont rap about shyt no more
What do people not get about Kanye?
His mission from day one is to not make music that sounds identical to previous work.
What correlation is there between College Dropout and Watch The Throne? Its called evolution, you're corny if you think he sold out to any degree. People saying he's tryna sound like Ross and 2Chainz? What? Only trap beat he's ever rapped over was HAM and Chief Keef. He doesn't wanna produce every single song he raps over anymore, but he still always adds his own touch to everything he does. You don't appreciate music if you can't feel what Kanye is bringing and adding to hip-hop.

it isn't?
i think ALL of ye's albums are dope, but i rank them like this:
lr > mbdf > graduation > college dropout
but all of them are sick.

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

Instead of worryin about Kanye, why dont you get you some money
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.
has never been on 
level to garner any real Hip-Hop accolades as far as emceeing.

(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"

Couldn't have said it better. Mercy sounds like a record that should have been left for 2chainz
And this ad-lib... Everytime I hear that shyt I
what the hell is going on? Someone page Talib and Mos and lets have a sit down with this nikka.
Its some young talented MCs that need to spit over some Grade A ye production.
