yeah, I think it was coined by BC in the aforementioned post he did about the Late Registration review.
bonus points to anyone who does a diss track about him over the beat from Arrested Development's "Tennessee"

Everyone knows Mr. Sean Fennessey--the kid seems to have connects in every city. If it's not Philly Cheesesteaks, it's good old New York Pretzels. He is a global presence not only on the web but in real life. Like Biz Markie, Sean is a large presence in more ways than one. His personality is matched by his large frame and, although infamous for "wearing it well," the Irishman is getting out of control. Sean, consider this an intervention--you're shit is getting off the handle. Want proof? Take a look at these recent pictures of the kid. He literally dwarfs the normal-sized Jamz and looks like he's about to take a king-sized bite out of his head. He also envelopes my picturesque backyard with his odd largeosity. Please believe me

Kanye West’s Late Registration a glowing, ridonkulous review in Pitchfork and didn’t bother to mention anywhere in it that he just so happens to be the proprietor a Kanye West fansite.

haha, between that lyric, and the Nelly Furtado interview where she talked about introducing Timbaland to Chris Martin ("Tim kept calling Chris 'Coldplay,' like, 'Hey, Coldplay!' and 'Coldplay's here!'"), I'm really starting to wonder if anyone in hip hop understand that the guy's name isn't Coldplay.

by the way, which one's Pink?
Speaking of, have we had a thread dedicated to "Who Knew"? I don't think so. Maybe this should be it. Damn, that song is beautiful. I love that really tense buildup at the end. Pink's vocal reminds me quite a bit of Kelly Clarkson's on "Never Again." They're right next to each other on my top 50 singles of the year list (as of right now).

ok, whether or not you knew that I was quoting Pink Floyd there, that was one weird segue, dude. there was some talk about "Who Knew" on the Rolling US Charts thread this week, though.

Will Kanye ever be a good MC? Is the learning curve such that he'll be a better MC than producer in five years?
― Jamesy, Sunday, 2 September 2007 00:29 (sixteen years ago) link
kanye is a good MC.
― Jordan Sargent, Sunday, 2 September 2007 00:30 (sixteen years ago) link
No. He's getting worse and worse. Terrible flow, worse lyrics.
― Tape Store, Sunday, 2 September 2007 00:31 (sixteen years ago) link
How he should have split the beats: "Can't Tell Me Nothin" >>> Chuck D "Good Life" >>> Lil Mama "Champion" >>> Lil Wayne "Homecoming" >>> T.I. "Stronger" >>> Trash Can
― Tape Store, Sunday, 2 September 2007 00:38 (sixteen years ago) link
"Good Life" >>> Lil Mama
this is the worst idea ever.

i don't nec. disagree w/ young tape store, but i wouldn't classify kanye as a "bad" MC.
― Jordan Sargent, Sunday, 2 September 2007 00:42 (sixteen years ago) link
meaning i don't nec. disagree w/ the notion that he raps better on college dropout on late reg.
i still like his "flow"/lyrics
― Jordan Sargent, Sunday, 2 September 2007 00:44 (sixteen years ago) link
Meh, he's an MC who makes me NOT want to listen to the songs. I feel like his flow got better on Grad but fuck if his lyrics still pull me out of the song.
"Just last year Chicago had over 600 caskets, Man, killing is wack-ass shit. Oh I forgot, except when niggas is rappin'. Do you know what it feels like when people is passin'?"
If you're gonna introduce this type of thematic shit in your lyrics, you can't put this up. YES YE, I'M SURE THOSE OTHER MCs DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE.

― strongohulkington, Sunday, 2 September 2007 18:34 (sixteen years ago) link
or maybe the man-children
Too much time on coke/ecstacy/sluts/hipsters retroactively soaking up Daft Punk (too late, Swizz did this earlier and better) and trying to make Puffy circa 1998 music videos in misguided attempt to catch up with the cool kids he was always too nerdy to hang with until he realized in that typically coked-out megalomaniacal way that he was the biggest pop star ever. P.S. Common looks so Obi Wan on that new album - stay in Brooklyn loser, Chi doesn't need you and never did.
― Gavin, Sunday, 2 September 2007 22:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Kanye was doing beats for Bad Boy artists in '98, I don't think he needed to "catch up" with what Puffy was doing back then.

Have you seen the Stronger video? It's like a throwback to 1998, but in an era where no one watches MTV any more.
This album sucks, Kanye got on the synth bandwagon too late and hasn't figured them out yet. He's trying to replace the old retro-soul-vibe with this hamfisted future aesthetic (those idiotic glasses!) but cannot pull it off. I blame new friends and the addiction to that drug... uh, I guess he said fame in that mixtape, so nm.
P.S. Did I hurt you guyses feelings?
