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
