in general, kanye has been and always will be corny. he talks about nothing important. and don't say "what about diamonds are forever?" because if you actually LISTEN to the lyrics, he's not talking about the real issues with slave labor, etc. blacka is an incredible combination, the music is supposed to be fun. and for anyone that has ever seen them live, you know that its a wild time. they put on a show like KRS-One did back in the mid 90s. stay real to hip-hop, not this cornball kanye that somehow snuck into the category
PS: kanye only has the beats. listen to his old tracks... he couldn't catch the beat if his life depended on it. can you say "ghostwriter"?
