kanye west

all fine.
BUT HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
how are you gonna ask the media and public to provide "compassion and empathy" while you are running for president?!?!?
the dumbest timeline.

also 808 and Heartbreak is a garbage album.

nah 808s rules

hope he gets the help he needs and deletes his accounts and stops running for president

808s is his best album

808s is good

this probably makes me a bad person but my first thought about Kim K's posts was "I bet these would look good in a divorce proceeding"

he's also not really running for presidency

he will be on the ballot in US states! not sure what else you need to do to "really run"

you guys are repping an album with robocop on it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XlCbDPDciM

dang "Robocop" is a jam

yes

I really like "Through the Wire".

808s does rule, "paranoid" is his best song

agreed paranoid is the best song on 808s. robocop is also good, as are most of the other songs on 808s.

*most, meaning not bad news or see you in my nightmares

you guys are welcome to that album and all subsequent lead-kanye recordings, enjoy them in peace and please keep them away from me.

do you get radiation sickness from them or

kim kardashian west otm tbh

Twista should have been his muse

I’ve never understood what’s supposed to be exceptional about this guy’s music except for one mostly instrumental track that featured in an adidas ad during the world cup in brazil. It was mostly because it was just a sample of samba percussion with distortion applied to it. “God Level” I think. Nothing else has ever really caught my ear. I feel like this post is confessional, but then again, I’m also the guy who made the “Worst Steppenwolf Hit” poll.

He did coin "swallowship"

I don’t get his ‘genius’ as a producer at all and to add insult to injury, his flow is wack.

his genius as a producer can be partially witnessed on the janet jackson album damita jo cf. "i want you"

just one example among many

is this conversation really about his music

"I Want You" is kind of bad, though

ok then pretend i gave any other example from 2001-2004

yeah, in his prime as a producer, his shit was lit. like T.I.'s "Doin' My Job"

forgot about that freeway x twista song, that beat is crazy

Is this where a bunch of the National fans get together and say the most gifted rap auteur of the 21st Century was never actually good

it's starting to become the thread where people post kanye beats that they love, a much better turn imo

oh in that case

I don’t get his ‘genius’ as a producer at all and to add insult to injury, his flow is wack.

same and I don't like bringing it up in wake of him wearing the MAGA hat because it sounds like you're just avoiding the difficult question of how to reconcile great artists with shitty views...but like honestly I really didn't get it, when I hear MBDTF I hear a dude who just has no clue how to master or engineer an album which sucks because there are some legitimately brilliant ideas on there. but too often it just sounds like it was mastered for the iPhone speaker. when he revealed that he thinks he can just rap into his phone and use that for the album it suddenly all made sense. he's gifted alright but sorta in the same sense of say Prince where you hear you're a genius so much that you start to believe that everything you do is genius and just stop editing yourself, except Kanye was doing this shit from his very first album

This dude is going to get people killed with his anti-vaxx shit, but sure, he's better than The National.

Those KKW notes are fucking abysmal

Checkmate, Whiney, I’m not a National fan either.

And at least one person who is itt is also a Kanye fan as far as I can tell.

Kanye's run from 2003 to 2016 is probably the greatest body of work of any musician of the 21st century, but everyone def come out with your contrarian opinions because he wore the Bad Red Hat

and incidentally, I hadn't checked back on scarface since he contracted covid and:

probably the greatest body of work of any musician of the 21st century

Unless it was an honest mistake and you just forgot to type the word "pop" into that post, fuuuuuck off.

Wow you must not have heard a lot of music between 2003 and 2016.

xxp

Yes, one day may Kanye West reach the heights of Defeated Sanity's Chapters of Repugnance or whatever

How about Anthony Braxton or Henry Threadgill?

It takes a special kind of person to claim that people didn't hate Kanye until he put on the hat.

much respect to Anthony Braxton, but he did not make "Otis"

...and that’s ok.

Kanye needs to get properly medicated, quit running for president, reject Jesus and produce a new Freeway album
