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.

He knows it too, thus the "I miss the old Kanye" shyt.

It hit me hard when no parties in LA came up because I was already out at that point but loved that song...first time I heard it I Y E A R S

Yeah and Life of Pablo I really enjoyed and to me is probably his best album in this "new era" of Kanye post Yeezus. But like you said it's bittersweet, even Donda had some joints to me but yeah Kanye ain't the same and it's a bit hard to accept, but hey he's making the music he wants to I guess.

Bittersweet is actually a dope Kanye leftover from Graduation, with John Mayer, used to play that all the time. I say it like I wasn't the BIGGEST fan, but my most defintions I was, I just wasn't a DEVOUT fan. knew all the unreleased, all the bonus cuts.

I even went way out of my way to explain the song White Dress to some girl I was with a few nights ago, he said some shyt like "girls drink in a masculine glass"

I haven't listened to a Kanye West project since TLOP. He was tweaking during that era as well (confederate flag shyt), but I gave him a pass. Sometime between then and 2018 when he started supporting Trump he became dead to me.

Edit: To clarify, I'll go back and listen to his old project TLOP and before, but I don't listen to anything new.

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.
Completely agree. The post- "Pablo" ye just don't have the same magic.

Schooling people takes forever; don't bother
i think kanye's c00ning has been well documented...even back when journalism sheltered the audience and left out key details to celebrities and figures

from apologizing and making friends with george bush almost immediately after his 'hate black people' outburst

to making friends with evel knievel (a known racist) so kanye can do the 'touch the sky video' portraying as him, with pam anderson as his wife

to whatever slave play this is


to his 'slavery was a choice' rant on TMZ

to finally getting caught in 4K for this house servant bullshyt


to then praising hitler on Alex Jones' show because kanye is petty that a couple joos didn't want him to be in fashion but fell short on telling the world that they supposedly run the world on some militant NOI shyt :francis:

he's been like this the whole time, people were just slow to catch up to his actual antics, or his PR people were covering for him until they gave up in this age of social media
