Kanye West - Dark Twisted Fantasy

i did argue that it made sense *for pitchfork* to vote that way bcuz of the way the album is sorta 'culturally placed' but thats a different issue; i didnt vote for it in y-e

looking back, j0rdan seems to have been the first to suggest that pitchfork's GOAT makes sense in light of kanye's importance and p4k's own cultural positioning. others quickly took up the chorus that the rating had to have been based more on these qualities than on musical merit and/or personal affection alone: dayo, dorianlynsky, etc. though it's just a throwaway comment, the [redacted] tumblr that dayo quoted articulates the critical stance i was reacting against above:

10. Do I enjoy the record? No, not especially, or at least not as a 70 minute experience. Parts of it. Songs on shuffle. But it’s exhausting! In the way Important Records usually are. I’ve played it three times through - hardly enough to have an opinion - but I’m not really reaching for it again.

that's the sort of thing i was responding to, and most of it was said three weeks ago. didn't have anything to do w/ you in particular, deej.

***RANKING KANYE***

I would like to point out that I have been OTM

i know people like to make fun of jay-z's verse on monster. generally i don't have a problem with it but there's something hilarious about having the line "all I see is these n-ggas I've made millionaires / milling about, spilling their feelings in the air" on a kanye west song

lol

(that's actually a pretty good line, too!)

well it's a direct diss at beanie sigel, but yeah

ha i didn't think it was actually directed at kanye but it's funny how you could say the same things about kanye and it's, you know, on a kanye song

yeah it's about beanie...actually it's not a bad line and it's one of jay's more tolerable recent verses - any time he can get to 6/10 it's an accomplishment

LOOOOOOOVE notwithstanding...god i wish jay from 10 years ago could see himself now

a ferrari, a jaguar, switching four lanes,
top down, screaming out LOOOOOOOOVE

o wait that was jermaine dupri's line forget it

it was actually still kinda funny

someone could do a jay-z/j. lo mash up called "LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE don't cost a thing"

LOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooool

guys there's no way a line about "millionaires" is directed at beanie sigel

a ferrari, a jaguar, switching four lanes,
top down, screaming out LOOOOOOOOVE

jay wrote jd's lines and said that line on reasonable doubt first fwiw

ah! good to know

yah that line's off 'cant knock the hustle'!

i kinda hope beanie just shoots everybody

i think that is like...the opposite of your famous ma$e post

i was so happy to see beanie return on a murderous rampage, i welcomed him

hahahaha

a joke of course but i don't like ppl talking bad about beanie he is one of my favorite rappers.

beanie's the illest but the way he's handled the whole jay thing is pathetic and depressing

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE

occasional ilx poster otm re beanie & jay

i still have this funny picture of upper mississippi hearing a ma$e song and saying quietly "...welcome"

:-D

that video is awesome :)

^___^

who is that

jsmooth posts here? lol who he is - his vids are awesome

jsmooth75 or something pretty recognizable like that

same as his twitter

not luriqua, then

american drunkyard

btw did the "so much head i ended up in sleepy hollow" line ever get discussed??? wtf is that line supposed to mean?

headless horseman

maybe he literally cut the head off the girl who was blowing him

and then traveled to sleepy hollow in pennsylvania

and then tweeted about it

sleepy hollow is in ny *pedant*

pusha t with another headless horseman ref later in the album too

kind of suprised kanye resisted the urge to say "the legend of pee-pee swallow"

...POLTERGEIST

lol

yeah i got the headless horseman thing but that seems to suggest that kanye doesn't get any blow jobs.....or maybe he got so many blowjobs his dick fell off....

i sent this girl a picture of my ken doll-like empty pubis

there was an old Kanye mixtape song with another goofy variation on the same theme -- "wife dont give head? get a divorce man/ the kids been callin you the headless horseman/ like Sleepy Hollow/ see she swallow" etc.

Jay-Z and Kanye West present Watch The Throne-

kanye: i sent this girl a picture of my ken doll-like empty pubis
jay-z: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE

the most manly person nicki minaj has collaborated with this year is probably, like, trey songz
