[shadyblogger]

Next person likes 90's hip-hop better than modern stuff

[TheVipBro]

next person has a girlfriend

[shadyblogger]

False

Next person likes Childish Gambino

[TranSlucEnt]

False. Never really cared for him in the first place

Next person thinks kanye's work post MBDTF is shit (or mediocre)

[shadyblogger]

Lol true; let's say mediocre (decent sometimes and shit the other times)

Next person has hope for Kanye to drop another classic

[TranSlucEnt]

True, but very very little hope. This sound and style Ye is doing now ain't 'evolving' or whatever the fuck people thinks he doing, he's just following the incredibly stagnant trend known as trap (co-signing young thug and chief keef, yeezus, and especially CS - need I say more).

Long story short.. he just isn't 'kanye' anymore. Kanye was known for his incredible flipping of soul/jazz/funk samples and witty rhymes. Post 2010 thats all gone. He's so self absorbed that he thinks he tries, he thinks he innovates, when in reality the stuff that he just puts out now (for the most part) is just.. bad. It's not Kanye. This is not kanye.
Sorry for the long post

Next person thinks MCHG was good

[shadyblogger]

Can't say; I've only heard parts of it and that was a while ago... I do wanna listen to it one of these days though.

No it's fine bro, what you said makes a lot of sense. I completely agree with you. Kanye's lost what he once stood for and thinks that what he's doing right now is some godly work. He apparently thinks Yeezus was a huge step in the right direction and wants to continue even farther down into that experimentation and his ego.

Experimentation for an artist is fine, it's just that I don't like the direction he's experimented in and how far and away from his roots he's gotten. He's lost himself and who he once was like you said, which is pretty sad tbh. There is possibly a sliver of hope for him to turn it around and become who he once was again but that chance is extremely slim and I doubt it'll happen the more that I think about it. It's sad like I said

Next person plays Nas a lot

THANK YOU. fuck, finally someone agrees with me. Most kanye fans are in denial, that's why theres almost no point in arguing with them, you won't get anywhere. Yeezus is incredibly bad. The only songs I liked on that POS were Blood on The Leaves and Bound 2 (the sample induced nostalgia). And those snippets of 'Awesome' and that other song I can't think of only further convince me that we will need a miracle for the real kanye to come back.
Also, I think the guy needs some serious counseling - specifically grief counseling.

And not so much anymore. I just bump Illmatic and It was Written once in a while

Next person thinks jay fell the FUCK off post American Gangster

Next person thinks jay fell the FUCK off post American Gangster

False; idk he's kinda hit and miss now

Lol yeah I enjoy both Blood on the Leaves and Bound 2 but mostly for the production tbh. I also actually enjoy New Slaves lol. For the most part, I almost always either love Kanye's production or am fascinated by his use of sampling even if the song and lyrics itself aren't that good like a lot of Yeezus.

And I believe a member on here was saying that Kanye needs to be taken into slavery lol. They were saying that he needs to go through some intense physical and emotional torture and labor that a slave would go through in order to wake him the fuck up and humble himself. It does sound fucked up saying that someone should be a slave for a little while haha but I think he could benefit from it. It'd snap him out of his ego and he'd probably become religious and humble again like he was back when he started on The College Dropout.

Probably fucking could. Don't mean to sound cold, but something needs to happen to him. Something with a big enough impact so he can wake the fuck up.

True
Next person thinks Em needs to get off of Interscope

[shadyblogger]

True; Eminem going independent would be really cool I think

Next person likes Abilities' production

DJ Abilities? True

Next person has slightly lost interest in Em within the past couple years

[shadyblogger]

(Yeah, I meant to say DJ Abilities.)

False; after Recovery I was really done with Em for a while. Then MMLP 2 dropped and I went back into Stan mode and playing the shit out of his music. Now that we're nearing the end of 2014 and Em's been pretty quiet for the most part (what have we got this year? Just Calm Down and Guts Over Fear? Both weren't enough to pique my interest though, but Calm Down did a little bit) I'm not quite sure what to expect from Em in the future. So I guess you could say the past couple months I've started to become a bit disinterested in Em again. That could change though, we'll just have to see.

Next person thinks Eminem has another classic in him

Yeah I'm the same way.
True, but only if he doesn't let Paul and Interscope influence him too much and for the reasons I mentioned in the 'Do you think Em's moves in the rap scene are questionable?' Thread. I feel like he has plenty of control over his music, but sometimes I think Paul and Interscope hinder his ability to put out another classic. You can tell he's a passive guy and is go with the flow. Plus he has plenty of 'yes men' those are never good.

Next person thinks Em should start doing his own hooks again.

True (yeah I get what you're saying breh)
