How the fucc is Quincy Jones being brought up in a discussion about Kanye West???

Kanye West cannot COMPOSE or READ music and he cannot PLAY any instruments.


I don't know what the fucc Kanye does, but it's NOT musically genius or even creative.

He doesn't even write his own lyrics!!!

That's like asking why Steve Jobs needs help with Apple.

Or why Drake doesn't engineer his own music why does he need 40?


The Booth y'all I swear

Dap/undap

Steve Jobs doesn't call himself a factory worker

Drake doesn't call himself a producer/engineer. And the irony of you using Drake as an example

Kanye is a genius because he knows how to convince stans like you to fight to the death for his fukkery while his bytches give him prostate exams :biggapls:

This post screams of . nikka, it aint the 80s no more. Rap production has changed

I was born in '88.

You nikkas just pop fans and need to stop acting like you like rap/hip-hop because you don't...you like pop music

And that's ok.

Yeh production has changed but real rap/hip-hop producers still don't need a army to make a good beat.

Like I said before you dudes must of just started this hip-hop shyt.

Why do you think old Kanye is so respected?... nikka just had a mpc2000 and a sp1200 and made classic shyt. Dude got a army of producers and can only pump out 1 good song every now and then.

 

[be back in a bit]

Why do you guys have it in your mind that in music one person does everything himself???


Like...who told you that?

My professor at audio school showed me a vid on hans zimmer the gawd, maybe the greatest film scorer of all time...


That nikka has a team of like 100 nikkaz writing for him. Nobody questions his genius in the film industry.

What you studying breh. Audio engineering?

I noticed some kanye stans avoiding this thread

just like #6fagz, they just avoid the topic completely

Hans is nice but he's notches below John Williams and Ennio Marricone may have something to say as well.

Morricone the gawd

No matter how anyone feels about him now, his first three albums and MBDTF solidify his spot in Hip-Hop as one of the best producer/rappers to do it.

but but but he didn't play the keys on heard em say, he ain't no genius

 

[.༼-◕_◕-༽.]

This is what happens when you take music education out of the schools.




People comparing Miles Davis and Quincy Jones, world class composers and musicians to Kanye west who has ZERO musical talent. He cannot sing, dance, play an instrument, write music or read music. He doesn't even write his own lyrics. He literally cannot do ANYTHING with music AT ALL and muhfuccas comparing him with some of our greatest legends and innovators...

but but but he didn't play the keys on heard em say, he ain't no genius

He is one of the best producers ever in rap. He still isn't a genius.

Sampling dont make u a genius though. Being original in your work does. Did you read the definition of genius?

sampling is flat out genius.

First of all, everyone samples. The principle of sampling is basically taking an idea from one place and applying it to another. Old as time.

The technical aspect of sampling is new but is genius nonetheless. Like all things, it depends on how it's done. Cats like Timbaland, Premo, Pete Rock created whole new worlds with old records. shyt that no one even thought of doing. That's genius.

I was born in '88.

You nikkas just pop fans and need to stop acting like you like rap/hip-hop because you don't...you like pop music

And that's ok.

Yeh production has changed but real rap/hip-hop producers still don't need a army to make a good beat.

Real talk. Modern hip hop has an unprecedented amount of wannabees who claim to like hip hop, but really are pop fans.

@MikeyC is a Yeezy stan and an attention whore. This thread is like reading ether to him.

Back when he made his own beats his drums were cheap and terrible

I never forgave him for that
