i'm sorry but all these people going on about kanye west need to be schooled.

i just heard that record... for real? this is it? really? oh my god, i was dying of boredom by track 4. talk about monotony, every song sounds the same. maybe not the music but kanye's monotone talking over a beat is...well, beat.

ok, look, i like good life. that's an alright track. the problem is all his raps sound exactly the same.

it is so sad that innovative is a word being used to describe this cat.

That's all shit hop has been for the last 15 or so years which is "talking over a beat", and a weak sounding slow to midtempo ass beat at that. The shit should have gone out of style years ago but of course there are a lot of dull asses out there that think it's great.

I attribute it to the lack of knowledge of the younger generation today when it comes to substance over promotion dollars and HYPE...

What's the deal with you guys? Why do you guys care so much? First yall didnt like the same old thing rappers talk about, now when there is someone that is commercial and is not negative or hurting hip hop at all yall complain. What do ya'll want?

I'd rather hear a complaint about Soulja Boy...hell Master P dropped an album the same day...

paisleypark4 said:

the deal is kanye is over rated. i'm spoiled. i grew up with the the roots, mos def, tribe called quest, beastie boys, run dmc...kanye ain't even a turd compared to those skills.

innovative? please...maybe with his marketing.

That's the prob..always tryinna compare shit. Let people be individuals. The new Tribe, the new Beatie and the new so so and so aint gon' happen. If kanye was an underground artist strugglin yall would like him.

hmm not unusual for this site to diss one of the best hip hop albums this year that is actually listenable.

First of all, Kanye is a love-hate artist, either you hate him or you love him, there is no in between. So if you love Kanye, as I do or admire his art, then enjoy the album like I do everyday, if you don't and think he's an overrated hotheaded artist...then leave his album on the shelf...i'm sure he won't mind. Nuff said.

Second of all, compared to 50 cent...Kanye's album is a masterpiece. I've heard 50's piece of shit. It's the same old thing. At least with Kanye, he talks about different stuff, ordinary everyday stuff. Nobody wants to hear about cars, clothes, hoes, ice, guns, and bullets all the fuckin' time.

Third of all, in my opinion, Kanye is a talented individual. Yes, he has the ability to be an annoying asshole at times, yes he tends to bitch and whine, yes he tends to speak out of term, and yes sometimes he should just shut the fuck up....but guess what, he's achieved something, he's got YOU talking about him. The man's a genius. He could care less about the haters he has because obviously he has more fans out there who appreciate his art and talent. The man is not only a musical artist, but an ARTIST at drawing in his own right. So if he wasn't into hip hop, he would had been famous doing something else artistic. Could you say the same for 50????? Exactly.

And that's all I got to say.

LONG LIVE THE YE!!!!!

i'm not a hater. i just don't see the hype. some of his stuff is pretty alright but the hype...i'm talking about the hype. he just isn't that great. better than 50? well, come on, my 10 year old cousins do more innovative and impressive stuff with a mic and some beats than 50 does.

i didn't even mention fitty in my comment/question. i was talking about kanye and the fact that he ain't doing enough to earn all this mass praise. sure, he's alright. but that's it.

and that's nuff said.

sassybritches said:

I know you didn't mention 50, but I DID as i do have a right to mention whoever I want. If you don't see the hype then don't buy his album. It's that simple. What the fuck more is there to say???? Exactly.

missfee said:

why are you so nasty? that's not a rhetorical question, i'm for real. why come at my with the attitude? i didn't disrespect you or anyone else. i said i don't see the hype. i didn't compare his ass to anybody else. i said kanye is not innovative and i said he doesn't deserve the hype. i said i like some of his stuff and i'm unimpressed with other stuff.

i won't buy the record. kanye will live to see another day at number one. the world will go on. so why are you tripping? damn. you shoulda left it at "nuff said" is all.

sassybritches said:

Jeeze Lueeze....I wasn't getting nasty, i'm just calling it how I see it. If I hurt your feelings I do apologize. It wasn't my intention at all. Are we friends now???

when you curse at somebody it typically has an offensive tone, as does speaking t someone with attitude (ie, "but I DID as i do have a right to mention whoever I want"). but no, you didn't hurt my little feelings.

sassybritches said:

Let me remind you, you ARE talking to someone who has a Kanye West picture as an avatar. What in the world did you expect as a response?

paisleypark4 said:

how do i decide if he's innovative or not? do i take people at their word or do i look to other innovators and compare?

you yourself compared him to common in your response. you can't call somebody innovative without comparing them to other people with the same label. damn.

sassybritches said:

Why does someone have to be INNOVATIVE to be respected?

I didnt compare Him but to comapre his album vs. another one of his roduction products, yeah he sounds better on his own shit. When did I say Kanye was innovative at all? His sound is DIFFERENT than alot of b.s. out there. It's refreshing. Like the new Vitamin Water...

Y make a post on him? What were you expecting the answer to be?

I'm trippin', I'm caught up in the moment right?
'Cause it's Louis Vuitton Don night
So we goin' do everything that Kan like
Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
Well I'd do anything for a blonde dyke
And she'll do anything for the limelight
And we'll do anything when the time's right
Ugh, baby you're makin' it
(Harder, better, faster, stronger

Those lyrics make no sense.
