Better Singer: Kanye West or Paul McCartney

is it possible the dude was nose-tweaking heads with that? "lol, they're expecting something from reasonable doubt well, hee hee..."

where by "probably didn't even remember" he really meant "probably would like to forget"

he spent about an hour talking to his g/f about how Jay-Z just *had* to play "99 Problems" because it was his ultimate song and then kept reciting the first line over and over again, so I'm pretty sure the issue was he didn't realize there was a world pre-2004.

sorry, 2003

haha ok was just projecting why I'D drop "numb/encore" on the crowd at a jay-z concert

yeah for a lot of guys under 25 Kanye starts with 808s.

still don't understand how this is possible

i do think 808s is the most genuinely brave and weirdest album of kanye's career, way more than any of the ART ART ART I AM AN ARTIST stuff he's done since

you are marveling at people not being aware of music before a certain date

just making sure that's what's going on here

thanks rap police

didn't vote but kanye

eh 808s was also the peak of his POP ART period, though. for me the part of the "Heartless" video where a rotoscope animation Kanye emotes in front of portraits of Jetsons characters always represented the pitiful nadir of his ambitions as an aesthete.

i dunno, i found those portraits of jane, judy and rosie to be a such a bold, unique way to cop to one's madonna-whore-robocop complex

lol mind blown

808s is the most cohesive album, it's definitely something you buy into or leave on the shelf, no real singles or w/e though

hadn't thought about it, but is it the only Kanye album with no Jay Z content?

808s had some of Kanye's most successful commercial hit singles though.

I feel like "people just aren't aware of his history" is not a legit move wrt Kanye West

like from the faux-backpacker humbrag schtick of college dropout onwards his whole career is based around being deliberately past-negating with each big record
