let's review this comment with 3 simple points

1. His last album MBDTF, highest reviewed album of the past years in music not to mention the most influential album in hiphop in years WTT.
2. Lasers, very weak reviews. An embarrassing album.
3. But you are still sad about Kanye and happy about Lupe :ohlawd:

What exactly has WTT influenced in the hip hop culture?

It's funny I'm listening to Watch The Thrown right now. :huhldup:

Stupid question who was his ghostwriter this time around. ?

His verse on Illest Mother Alive is hilarious. :laff:

The opera part on HAM :russ::deadrose:

My Pops Forever RIP
But the thing is he's done something much worse than just staying stagnant..

He's regressed...

His first album was his magnum opus. His last album still did very very well. We all know what he's done in between those records. If that's regression then nobody's really noticing other than people here who can sum up this thread as "Kanye quit being everything you are and go back to everything you used to be"

That's not what I'm talking about.. As a fan I never use that as a measuring stick because it has no impact on my personal listening experience...

I'm talking about the actual content and it's delivery..

He went from

"Even if you in a Benz, you still a n!gga in a coupe"

to

"Last week I was in my other, other Benz"

That's the opposite of growth, that's regression...Now he can dress it up with Spike Jonez artistry, European cotour and ballerinas but it's still what it is...He was never a great emcee.. But dude went from being innovator in his lyrical themes and critical thinking to being a straight up biter...

Tell me how do you respond to students?
And refresh the page and restart the memory?
Respark the soul and rebuild the energy?
We stopped the ignorance, we killed the enemies
Sorry for the night demons still visit me


His last album. That's hardly regression.

What exactly has WTT influenced in the hip hop culture?

First and foremost all types of swag, which is the most notable influence it had.
All types of duos coming together outta nowhere, mostly for mixtapes. Resurrecting that overfly rap with things people can't pronounce, clothes they can't fit in and cars they never drive.
Mad rappers and singers becoming super artsy outta nowhere, slang like HAM and Cray, following MBDTF it also further introduced what certain people like to refer to overproduced beats and other extremely progressive production, releasing albums digitally exclusive, incorporating very unlikely samples from unlikely genres in your music and on.


It had a lot of influence on hiphop culture, obviously not as important influence as other albums from the 90s like Illmatic, OB4CL etc, or TM101, BP, Trap Music from the 2000s. But still very big and noticeable.

Thought provoking questions about how do we teach students? It could be discussing students as in rappers, the youth or students in school. How do we write new chapters of history? How do we start fresh? and on. Just a lot of good questions that he's asking the teacher who could be god or just the listener or whoever. However that last line is highly obscure imo since ignorance is very alive and the enemies as well. Maybe referring to his own ignorance and enemies (demons).

Kanye wants to be a European white woman, he has no time for such trivial things as hiphop. I bet he can recommend the right pocket book to ur girl tho
