seriously. those yeezy boosts look like garbage ass winter boots that elementary school kids wear around here.
i've liked all of his albums (except for graduation) but it's pretty clear he's gone full wasteman status by now. laughing stock of the rap game.
oh my goodness, new jay electronica music. what a strange year already.

Lmao at a Jay Electronica album dropping out of nowhere
The last few Ghostface releases have been very low-effort on his end and seriously boring, to be fair

And it's been 6 years and several projects since Undun. Fallon keeps the lights on for the crew these days.
Seriously, the boosts are awful imo. I mean they sell like mad so maybe I'm crazy, but they look terrible.
Care about Kanye in 2016, brehs
Seriously though, the only rappers I can think of who were consistent for a long time were Ghostface and Ice Cube, maybe LL Cool J. And all three fell off eventually.
It's not just rap, pick any genre of music and you'll find this to be true. Very few have had years of good shit, even fewer can say they had decades. None can say they didn't release trash once in a while either. All you can hope for from so called legacy artists is decent work at best. Just keep moving on to good shit as it comes, otherwise you end up as a stanpologist or delusional dust head.

I dig the 350s Boost. Have some Nike Roshe One for my self. Pretty cool tbh. 750 are ugly for sure, though.
But yeah, let's not be so dramatic. Ye probably has not much time for music these days, even though I wouldn't expect him to release something so half-assed. I still hold high hopes for whatever Swish turns out to be.
Btw, been posting here more lately and forgot to present my self

Yeah, they're not as good but they're still not bad. His catalogue is still better than most other rappers. He doesn't have a bad album, just classics/good albums/okay albums.
Of course thats his son. If Birdman said that Wayne (Drake and Nicki too) aint going nowhere then thats that.

Roots last couple albums have been boring and the latest was trash
Sheesh, I really feel he's past his musical prime for good now. If SWISH sounds like this, I really don't need it anymore. He can't compete with random young Soundcloud cats on this type of beats. Sounds so basic and lame compared to Thugga f.e., who would have killed this joint.
Exactly.

Lol, Elec really dropped? Were people actually excited about it, though, or was it just some kind of running gag?
This beat does not suit Yeezy at all, Jesus.
TPAB got him so shook he's jumping on the 'safe' latest wave? Yeezy pls
Edit: Sounds like
Exactly.

wait no this isn't what i wanted to hear
i wouldn't go with "seriously boring", they've been enjoyable efforts for me but yeah, hoping for a return on SC2
Big up, also riding that needleD I see
this is just what I needed to hear after that garbage Yeezy track
Not really, he's just the only one that reviews some of these albums, don't even like him much anymore
Fair enough, I wasn't being serious anyways, I know you better than that

Exhibit C came out six years ago. I'm pretty sure he has released less than five official songs since then. There was the Christopher Wallace song, Call of Duty, the Guru tribute, and Better In Tune With The Infinite. Pretty sue that's it.
