Lil Fish Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hmmm...Kanye on repeat. I think I'd rather pour fire ants in my ear. Ha. He can't exactly hold a candle to a Pharoahe Monch on the mic but I find a certain charm to his rapping and I like the honesty in his lyrics. I didn't at first, one of the things that put me off him but, as I said, he grew on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NostalgiaGod Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 So just want opinions on this specific topic. In the "Rap is the new wrestling topic" in the WWE Universe section, fellow user Generations said this: "I listen to plenty of hip-hop...Kanye West has a total of about two songs that are even worth listening to. But, that isn't the focus of the discussion in this topic, so...let's suppose we just move right along." ?How many people actually agree with this or disagree. Figured it would be a great place to discuss it. Regarding who said it, it's pretty much a given I disagree. But yeah, seriously, I disagree, he's amazing. Not a fan of everything he put out so far but noone who's remotely sane can argue his artistic qualities. Yeah, but I still give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Because I know preference is a big part of liking something or someone but I just would love people to remove their personal bias and give credit where it's due.

Generations Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Well...this is going about as well as I thought things would go on a wrestling forum, talking about Kanye West, in the Hip-Hop topic...which is why I will refer back to my initial statement about not caring. I'll leave everyone now to discuss the finer points of Kanye West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm not upset...I'm just peacing-out on this conversation. It wasn't anything that was said by anyone. It's just not a conversation that I really have any interest in taking part in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey D. Jiggy Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I *censored*ing hated Yeezus. Kanye is a fantastic and diverse rapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V to I Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I liked about half of Yeezus, where I thought the other half was trash or I didn't listen to it. I'm expecting similar with his next album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Nakamura Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I love Yeezus, despite finding some tracks to be quite ugh. TPAB's already one of my favourite albums ever, though, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Newhouse_ Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I love both Yeezus and TPAB because they both push the boundaries of what hip hop is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Fish Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Never got into Yeezus. I actually don't like half of his solo discography. Graduation, 808's and Yeezus aren't for me. When he's good he's really good though because the other half of his collection is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Vercetti Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yeezus only had a few good songs. Other than that, it sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenade. Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I love both Yeezus and TPAB because they both push the boundaries of what hip hop is. I don't think that's true for either album lol. I love TPAB but the funk hip hop has been around since like Snoop. And Yeezus didn't really do anything new either. New for Kanye maybe, but not revolutionary to music.

Royal Nakamura Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I don't think there have been many (current, or recent) hip hop acts that have gone down the soul/funk and jazz rap route, as strongly as Kendrick did with TPAB. Is it completely innovative? No, but saying it's still around is kind of questionable. At least when we're talking about the sound Kendrick shoots for, on his album.
