font class="post"1b, 21b, 21You must not have been in a break up in a bit. Some splits are amicable, so are pretty damn nasty. If you are fortunate enough not to have experienced those feelings since your teens, consider yourself lucky. My ex-wife left me when I was 29. It fucked me the F*ck up. I remember feeling those feelings. I been there. b, 21b, 21I mentioned it in another thread. I just lost my father about a week and change ago. Coldest Winter was about his mother's death, but I could relate to a lot of the sentiments of that song.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21I did not say Kanye=Roger. b, 21b, 21I will type slower this time.b, 21b, 21I...like...seeing...an...artist...take...influence...from...one...of...my...favorite...artists. b, 21b, 21If Roger was still around, he would be making a huge comeback. I wonder what some of Roger's stuff would sound like with autotune instead of vocoder.
his new music is awful, but that isn't the reason i hate kanye now. it's because he veered into the realm of "musicians whose personalities can no longer allow you to listen to their music". he might be the single most annoying, self centered, egotistical, shallow, attention-starved, materialistic person i've ever come across in my search for entertainment (sports/music/movies/television). he literally can't do or say anything to make me have a lower opinion of him than i do now. anytime he is interviewed i want to throw a brick at his face. i can't think of a more obvious example of someone who blew up and seemed to turn into something this pathetic (but hey, i didnt know him before he was famous, so maybe he was always an annoying piece of shit)b, 21considering all the celebrities i ride for, it takes a lot for someone to cross the line of me not being able to be a fan because of personality, regardless of their art. kanye hath taken it there.b, 21b, 21/end of asshurt
If y'all hate Kanye that much, don't listen to him. Don't buy any of his album. Don't play his songs at gigs. Don't watch his videos. Don't watch interviews. b, 21Unless you are some kind of auto-mascohist, don't listen to something you don't like. b, 21Using this method, I only heard Laffy Taffy once.
b, 21Kanye is going for it and the studio audience ATE IT UP.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21i hear you on that...but.b, 21b, 21i'd bet roger would denounce auto tune...and tell em all to get the F*ck off his dick. unless of course you gonna rock it right.b, 21b, 21im not mad at kanye's music. actually, all critiques aside...it's refreshing to see a rapper/producer show emotion's beside wanting to kill, fuckk and make money.b, 21b, 21being vulnerable= todays real rap ?
kanye is the shit yo, you sour ass dudes need to fall the F*ck back and just witness a legend do his f*cking thing. I think it's great we get to witness an artist like this while we're alive and still give a shit about music.b, 21b, 21but i'm still not sure about coping the 808 album

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21who else is on dudes level right now? NOBODY. Dude is really in his own lane, dude not only changed rap music TWO TIMES but changed the way people dressed/swag. That isn't some "hey I made a hot album" shit he's accomplishing shit no one else is doing or has done in rap.b, 21b, 21Why are folks so desperate to claim this "artiste" shit is a load of crap?
U muthas have bad taste. Dude is has been mediocre for a minute. He caught your attention w/ clothes and shit. b, 21b, 21Graduation was cool but he's no 10 album artist. b, 21b, 21He did his thang - its a wrap. DILL. b, 21b, 21You'll attempt to hold on to his schtick and realize you behind.b, 21b, 21Dont fight me. Swallow the truth.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21b, 211).Do your other accounts feel the same way?b, 21b, 212). He hasn't been mediocre at all, dude got better at producing and rapping. Such a huge artistic growth from College Dropout to Graduation. When is 10 albums important to rap? You see the dudes who got 10 albums. And for the sake or argument dude has made 3 (maybe 4) classiques so for he's batting a thousand. b, 21b, 213). You must be kidding right? The whole "strutters got swayed by dudes gear".....Cargo pants are a way life with some. *sashayshontay!*
This is not good - he's heard himself sing with autotune and it's somehow convinced him he doesn't need it. They really need to do it live to, this is embarassing.b, 21b, 21I've never let Kanyes personality discourage me from being a fan, but this just doesn't fly.
it was a pretty turdy performance, but some of you are acting like this is a deal breaker for you/the rest of society. It's one snl performance. It is nothing in the grand scheme of the exposure he'll get. It was awkward, but it's not like the Ashley Simpson thing. There is no big debate (except on here) about this. b, 21b, 21I listened to the album again today. It's a good listen. I like all of his albums. I think he's talented and takes risks. He's actually successful at taking risks. b, 21b, 21As for the 10 albums. I don't think there are really any rappers that have 10 good albums, let alone 10 albums period. I can't even think of very many bands that have 10 albums that people agree upon as classics.
They aren't available online but man there's some winners. This is a random set of suggestions but I always dug Boz Scags' Lowdown performance and radiohead circa "KID A".
man a lot more of you enjoy this new album than I thought would have... maybe I will give it another listen, but that autotune shit gets tired after like 5 notes.... and the entire album is comprised of that shit....Just not good!
