I love the Kanye cycle. GAF past time.

I remember when Yeezus came out and everyone was so hyped, then they realized it was shit.

Yeah, I was hyped as hell. Kinda shitty after a week or two of listening to it. Wasn't really a big fan of Nothing Was the Same either, though.

In 20 years, Kim Kardashian's ex-husband will be long forgotten. Although, he might get a mention on I Love the 2010s on VH1.

it's been 10 years since College Droupout and it is one of the most fondly remembered debut records.

Sorry, you're wrong.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I know some people who went to wireless. Kanye was such a trainwreck.

Yeah, Ye has lost his damn mind, but his impact on the rap world is undeniable. Dropout is widely regarded as a classic and critics loved them some MBDTF.

You make it sound like Kim K is the actual star in this marriage, lol

 

[Uno Venova]

Well, Drake did have a better album than Kanye last year.

 

[VanquishUK]

I don't particularly like Kanye, but this is just plain disrespectful. :/

 

[BeatResetsTheWorld]

Gawdawm.

I thought his rants were scripted? But having the crowd chant for Drake is taking it too far.

Why would they be scripted. I feel like GAF has too many conspiracy theorists or people who think everything famous people do is planned in advance...

 

[FaintDeftone]

Well, Drake did have a better album than Kanye last year.

I would agree with this. So I guess it's cool to hate Drake now?

 

[andymcc]

I assure you the hate for Drake has been festering long before that

 

[jordisok]

He got booed twice in London not Birmingham though.

God damn my reading comprehension.

 

[genjiZERO]

I'd have more respect for Kanye if I he could actually rap. But he uses (admittedly incredible) production skills to overcompensate for the fact that his rhymes are trite and mediocre (at best).

Drake is ass too.

I doubt this very much considering Kanye is by far the most important hip hop artist and possibly the most important musician of the last decade.

 

[CelticKnight]

Regardless of what you think about Kanye, asking for Drake is just a low blow.

Dressed in his signature mask...

He wears a mask now? how long has that been a "thing"?

 

[Servbot24]

Over a year.

 

[agrajag]

That article was a bit repetitive, yeah? But referring to him as Kim Kardashian's husband is amusing, I approve.

It was a drake concert. Kanye was filling in for drake because he got sick.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Kanye is a fucking tool, honestly. Yeezus was literally a slice of shit in a CD case with a sticker on it.

He's tried to make himself to be something which he aint and the 'we want Drake' chanting was obviously done to piss him off and get him to rant. Which he just had to do.

 

[TOP SHOTTA]

I know some people who went to wireless. Kanye was such a trainwreck.

HOW SO?

Seen here: people wanting Drake

That looks like a fucking awesome show. Was that the only hype moment?

I am wondering if you posted that as a joke. They were mashing it up. Sounded and looked awesome. I am a big Kanye apologizer.

This thread is weird.

I really don't think that's at all accurate. It was a slight departure. I have to be in the right mood (which I am now) to get into Yeezus in full, but it's only because some of the tracks really sound like something is messed up with my stereo or headphones. The distortion on On Sight is a little much, but the album is wonderful, in my opinion.

 

[IrishNinja]

I agree. People shit on Drake too much too. Yeezus was a garbage album. Certainly one of his best production wise, lyrically just awful. Especially disappointing considering how great MBDTF was.

Kanye West had one good album. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Let the truth set you free.

MBDTF was an overproduced mess and one of the least of his albums
there it is

In 20 years, Kim Kardashian's ex-husband will be long forgotten. Although, he might get a mention on I Love the 2010s on VH1.

even if he didnt have at least one classic of his own, he's produced some of the most influential albums in hip hop to date

 

[Servbot24]

GAF prolly can't handle a truth bomb of that magnitude

And even though it wasn't his best album it still shattered end of year charts that year.

Ye needs 2 or 3 more great albums and he'll be a legend on the level of The Beatles.

 

[Grinchy]

Kanye is a fucking tool, honestly. Yeezus was literally a slice of shit in a CD case with a sticker on it.

Then that's the first time I've ever been impressed by him. Imagine the logistics of putting millions of slices of shit into a CD case.

Signature shit slices. Kanye=legendary

 

[speculawyer]

It is good for someone with such a massive ego to get booed. Perhaps he'll get some humility.

Spoiler

I doubt it.

Everyone point at this post and laugh.

 

[Quidam]

I'd love to wield as much power as an extremely fringe minority do when it suits tabloid newspapers. Probably less than 1% of the crowd didn't enjoy the show, and suddenly the entire crowd is against him?

I would use that disproportionate representation for such evil - the headlines would read "everyone in Britain now dislikes Russell Howard, so we've fired him from everything", and it would all be because of me.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

What's with the stupid balaclava?

 

[MrPressStart]

Hello Kanye, I am the face of the fucking earth! Please fall off of me!

 

[eddfromtheriver]

What the heck? I'd rather see Kanye...

Yeah, i'm baffled that they'd prefer Drake over Kanye.

 

[Verano]

They paid for a drake show. Kanye was filling in for drake since he was sick. It's understandable that a few fans would be disappointed but booing and heckling is pretty shitty.

Say that to my face not online see what happens.

Kanye West is the reason your favorite artist makes music.

Let's hope not. Ye needs to stay Ye.

MB is still better than yeezus.

 

[IrishNinja]

MB is still better than yeezus.

track-for-track i guess you could make an argument? but as far as highs go, nothing on MBDTWTF has anything on Blood on the Leaves (last 30 seconds or so aside, haha)

 

[HiResDes]

Great:
1. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
2. The College Drop Out

Good:
3. Late Registration
4. Graduation
5. 808s

Decent:
7. Watch the Throne
8. Yeezus

Don't do it guys, it's a trap.

 

[J10]

Is Kanye actually important or do we just think that because he keeps telling us how important he is?

i think the intro track or lost in the world is as good as that. but hold my liquor > all

 

[cdyhybrid]

Preach, Irish.

 

[MaschinenZimmer]

You probably had to Yahoo google first with how far behind you are.

I don't understand what's so problematic about his statement. I only know Kanye West because he is used in some gifs here and Drake is the guy in the wheelchair everybody is laughing at (no idea what is so funny about a guy in the wheelchair) but aside from that I just know they make rap and are black.

MTV is dead and if you are out of school there is a high chance that you have no fucking idea about the current pop trends unless you search for them specifically.

 

[Kraftwerk]

☦Yeezus☦ is a masterwork of not just music, but humanities intellect. The apex of our current generation, and will be a beacon of inspiration of eons to come.

In the year 3000, when humanity has evolved into a higher-being, everyone will merge to form the ✞Godhead Yeezus Khrist ✞.

His most supreme and superior being the ✞Godhead Yeezus Khrist✞will venture through the universe, giving away signed copies ☦Yeezus☦.

This will venture in a new era, and bring all forms of life in the universe together. No more war, famine, death and destruction.

Every being in the universe will merge into one, and it will form the new, and infinitely superior being the ☥Godhead Yeezus Khrist II☥

His most divine and flawless being the ☥Godhead Yeezus Khrist II☥ will celebrate this monumental moment with the release of ☩Yeezus II☩.

A pleb such as myself can only wish to witness such glory. May he also absorb my soul in the eons to come, to I can witness the divinity.

I was just joking around with him. If anything, it makes me delighted to know that there are people who don't know who Kanye is. I envy them.
