So when he irractically blurted out the Bush comment and Taylor Swift shiit. He was a real one, but he say something you don't agree with, he's repulsive. Sad people
Who said that made him a real one? I ain't stopping you from listening to him and putting money in his c00n pockets to keep feeding white men while you applaud him for being a "slavery is a choice" free thinker.

Ehhhh I get what you’re saying in theory, and it’s mostly right—-he’s definitely not the same artist he came out as.

But I can’t fully co-sign. Surprisingly, Donda had some powerful, powerful music on it. Believe what I say, remote control, keep my spirit alive :sadcam:

And that Ty dolla sign album I complete forgot about it since they took it down. But off 1 listen I remember thinking damn this kinda hard

Everything you do feeds them, so what you really saying? Not a damn thing

It's not a "I cant," or "I shouldn't" or some canceled shyt...I just don't enjoy it like I did back in the day because of how disgusting a person he is...real talk

No parties in LA came up on the shuffle recently...that song is fukkin incredible...and that made me think of the great songs on life of Pablo...and then before that...

Man, he's been personally not played in a long time...and even when I go back...it's not the same at ALL.

I was a "late registration" era fan. Back when we didn't know how to properly pronounce Kanye.

I can't enjoy that shyt like I should be able to and that's a shame


The fact that I enjoy listening to Liquid swords or S.D.E. or 400 degreez or The Black album more than College Dropout is a shame.

yeah. I get that too. He was never an A tier artist for me personally, he wasn't street enough, but since following his career from like 2000 or 2001 when he was an up and coming producer, to hearing him rap on The Blueprint 2, The Bounce to his debut being a big part of my senior year of HS

riding around listening to Never Let Me Down and We Don't Care over and over smoking a blunt in the car, playing Spaceship over and over, despite I had never worked a day at a legit job and was actively selling cocaine in high school- LOL -but the music was that powerful

oh and Slow Jamz. The girls from that fukking song. wow. Now that's some high school shyt. smoking and drinking on the couch with two girls singing Slow Jamz to you

Memories of 2007 when Graduation came out, the memories of winter 2010 and listening to the weekly series and MBDTF that December, playing Dark Fantasy and Gorgeous over and over in the winter, going to the movies downtown.

and don't forget that 808's winter, with that playing everywhere, and while I didn't LOVE It like that, it was part of the sound of the time. Robocop, and Paranoid. god. my homies played that shyt obsessively.

the Jay collab album, I remember thinking I was balling so hard at the Mariott Marquis that August playing that bonus track on the IPOD system or whatever in my room LOL

his music is intertwined with the stages of my life, is what I am saying. But I don't listen much anymore. and it's not about self righetouness or whatever he said about whoever or whatever, it just doesn't feel the same. or thinking I am protesting something by not listening. it ujst doesn't sit as right as it did

It's crazy you started this thread because man I listened to these 3 joints on a 6 hour drive today and it made me :mjcry: at the thought of what Kanye used to be and how we'll never get this version of him again







I still listen whenever his shyt pops up on shuffle or if I'm in the mood but damn it's crazy thinking where he used to be compared to now, that soul that easily seeped out the music ain't there for him anymore, it is what it is I guess. And I ain't even a old head just his first few albums were my childhood.
