Kai Cenat plays Runaway on piano, Glorilla doesn’t recognize it, comments say “the South wasn’t listening to Kanye”

[Jaguar93]

“Turn up that Runaway Kai”

 

[Mac Ten]

Everyone was playing Kanye back then…
Back in 2009-2011, u couldn’t nowhere without hearing Kanye on the radio.


Glo was somewhere playing Cocaine Muzik 3 and 4 by Yo Gotti.

Kanye lost most of his casual audience with Yeezus.

Yeezus was a weird album looking back…


Album was ahead of its time. If it came out now, it’ll be more appreciated

 

[Mac Ten]

His commercial peak was Graduation. Go check the numbers.

That was my favorite time of Kanye…

He was happy and wasn’t kooning plus he wasn’t off his rockers.

Dropout Bear was my nikka too.


Looking back on it, Kanye had the better album than 50(Thanks to the magic of DJ Toomp and Mike Dean).

 

[Jaguar93]

Yeezus was a terrible Death Grips ripoff

 

[Mac Ten]

nikkas in any hood wasnt listening to no fukking MBDTF

You’re right. Everyone still went out and brought that and Watch The Throne though.

I saw more backpackers playing that and Thank Me Later back then.

Back in that time, everyone was bumping Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, Wiz Khalifa, Yo Gotti, and Drake back in 2010.


The singles for MBDTF stayed in rotation.


I became a Nicki Minaj fan once I heard her verse on Monster.

She had the better verse than Jay and Ye.

I don't think people on the coli realize Kanye lost a majority of his black audience who were with him from the first 3 albums, I'll say it dropped off even more with Yeezus. I have an aunt who loved Kanye, knew all the singles from the first 3 projects, would watch all the music videos on 106 & Park, she hasn't mentioned him in years and stopped fukking with him when he went the "artsy" route. I say all this as a Kanye fan by the way but it's something I've been noticed.

nikkas in this bytch mad as fukk.

 

[JealousOnesEn_V]

Yeah. He was past his commercial peak by then.

How was he past his commercial peak in 2010 for MBDTF?

808s started to kill his black audience imo. I aint hear too many people in Detroit bumping that. And really didnt hear much of it on the radio

Yeah I meant to mention it really started with 808s

I can tell yall don’t really go to Black clubs or HBCUs. Alot of that stuff didn’t and doesn’t get public play in real life in the South. We like our own over everything else.

Like it or not, Kanye fanbase largely White folks. “can’t tell me nothing” was the first and close to only song that got club play around here.

The music from our area is so deep that you can come here and never hear anything from outside this region.

That’s dope in a way, used to be like that in NYC and Los Angeles.

But it’s cool you can essentially have a rap a lot, suave house CMR/NL playlist

808s was for the hipsters and his hardcore fans.

 

[Alvin]

Street nikkas aint bumping that artsy fartsy shyt

Exactly
