True, I understand that he is trying to get away from the Bling Bling but, would it hurt to use a band. To come up with something orignal.

Slow Jams
Through The Wire
The New Workout
Jesus Walks were good singles!!

i love kanye's cd as well as work he has done with other artists. however i do think he is making people think that "diamonds" is a little more serious than it actually is. he does have a remix that addresses the issues brought out in the video. i can't wait for his new cd to come out.

I dont like Diamonds much, he aint sayin shit, though the beat is aiight.

"We can walk wherever we want! We can walk wherever we want!"

Anybody else see when he got Punk'd? Tool.

She gets hers.

sosgemini said:

I dunno sos. I think Kanye did a great job on the common LP. although I would have enjoyed more from Jay Dee. He definately saved some of his best for common. I think Jay-Z might've been jealous about a few of the beats.

Well go read the other topic about the poor ticket sales for rap concerts. Could it be because they have no band and no orignal music.

laurarichardson said:

see..this that shit again...is it all that serious? does everyone and everything HAVE to be totally original? why can't we enjoy stuff for what it is? why can't we like or dislike shit because it either sits well w/ us or it don't? why it gotta be original? why it gotta have a band? does everyone NEED to have a goddamn instrument in their hand?!?! is it that serious?

laurarichardson said:

it COULD be because folks is gettin shot, beat and bloody and them concerts. it could be because them fools only talk about bang bang shoot em up, fuck that ho, jack that car, suck my dick its big! and all that bullshit

sosgemini said:

You didn't like any of it?

bits here and there...but to be honest i only listened to it a couple times....

sosgemini said:

I liked about half of it. The rest... blah!

OK, it seems that he has his defenders and detractors, and he does have some talent for being a showboat, but what else do you expect from a rapper/MC? I'll give his next CD a chance to impress me only if he stays away from the sped up samples that made College Dropout a hit, he has to try something different this time or he will be dismissed as a one hit wonder.

Let's tell the truth, he's not the best lyricist out but he can carry his own album without a ton of guest rappers on every other track ( ala Lil' Jon, who by the way doesn't rap at all ) . As long as a critique of his music is not some thinly veiled personal attack, it should be allowed to be posted along with the praise.
