HUGE Big Daddy fan. He's close. KRS is up there too.

 

[The Last Emperor]

The holy trinity of influential emcees is G Rap, Rakim & Kane

shoutouts to Krs, Slick Rick, LL, Cube & Chuck

 

[thabiz]

Biggie was pretty good.

So many good MC's over the years.

[Jay Sosa]

he heavily influenced nas, that's good enough for me.

 

[//B1G]

haha he stays so yayed out all the time, it's no wonder.
this shit is hilarious riff raff art ballin

 

[thabiz]

for me, KRS always has embodied the true essence of an "MC". A story teller. Truth spitter. Educator.

 

[Complex Shadow]

bout to jump into this

anyone know if its good?

 

[enzo_gt]

oh man paul187 has me dying in the Kanye thread

REAL RAP

 

[Esch]

I think the point is to get fans of those artists to check for the original. Just like weird fan service. I dunno, I agree they are always terrible.

the only one that was dope was the Wild Boy one and even then they fucked up and took out Flockas verse. they just turn into awkward cypher tracks, except the rappers on them are pop and trap guys with no bars. so they suck.

 

[thabiz]

I posted that awhile ago. Its dope.

 

[overcast]

REAL RAP

"Real hip-hop" heads always crack me up.

 

[Esch]

Rakim is Goku, Nas is Gohan.

shit makes perfect sense

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

...and so still no examples of how Kanye influenced genres outside of hip-hop?

Okay.

/irrelevant arguments

 

[The Return of]

Nas became Great Saiyamen much earlier in his life tho. Smh what a joke

 

[DominoKid]

ayyyyyeeeee

 

[PhoenixDark]

Thanks, biz and peter.


The Deuces remix was super dope. Everybody brought it, even Andre 3000.

EDIT:

Supposed lead single off of his next album, King Remembered In Time.


[KRIT hook copypasta here]

lemme guess, talking about shining in his car with candy paint doors

 

[thabiz]

God damn I love Apollo Kids.

 

[codhand]

Okay.

/irrelevant arguments

here's a complete list of albums (not reissues) Pitchfork gave a perfect 10.0 score to

Wilco - Foxtrot 2002
Kanye - Twisted Fantasy 2011

While this doesn't direct you to an artist specifically influenced by kanye it does show that he influenced musical tastes on the whole.

if you told me in 2002 that kanye west would get a perfect ten from pitchfork i would laugh

*Not saying anything about my personal opinion of Pitchfork as a barometer for good taste here, just talking influence
** I like one Kanye West album, no stanery here,
*** might as well get it all out before the new OT

yep

not even fucking close. you underestimate KRIT. the title is definitely referring to him shining his rims

 

[codhand]

is he sure he wants to do that, after he just rotated his tires?

 

[HiiiLife]

Friend is a big Tech fan. Dude really did a track with Ron Artest? Lol son I can't handle.

 

[Detox]

RIP Young Money

 

[HiiiLife]

Are there really Pitbull fans in the world?

 

[//B1G]

He's just glossing up that bowling ball swirl bro

 

[PBY]

RIP Young Money

This is terrible. But I like it-

A- I think Pitbull is aite for what he is, makes decent Flo Rida-tier club jams, and
B- I like it when people stick up for their city. Fuck wayne with his Heat bullshit.

 

[The Return of]

AWWWWWW SHIT!

Dean and Asia bring it. Sick production.

Stream

Abrasions

Czarface has a contenda

I like this way much more than that black belt shit he rreleased last year

 

[Blackace]

For the amount he charges for an appearance you better believe there are

Worst part is Weezy will be begging to sit courtside in MIA again if they win the title this year. Dude is a serial bandwagon jumper.

Black Belt was the shit.

 

[spindashing]

fuck kanye threads real talk not sure why I revisited it

actually fuck hip-hop threads

 

[Jay Sosa]

I ain't a fan but I give him credit for putting Kennedy Leigh in one of his videos. And on a completely unrelated note I just saw into the wild and now I'm sad.

Edit: And now they're showing 127 hours..jesus

 

[The Return of]

Black Belt was the shit.

I thought it was okay overall. Majority of it did nothing for me really.

 

[effzee]

Cross-posting from the Kanye thread: Kanye gets Donkey of the Day. Pretty much everything Charlamagne said is how I feel.

Never-mind the fact that Kanye worked with Katy Perry and would have died to have worked with JT.

Fucking loon

 

[spindashing]

"Congrats on the baby, Kim."

"Started from the bottom, now we here."

"Bitch, what?"

 

[CRS]

Uh... we're running out of thread space.

 

[Esch]

[HiiiLife]

Kanye spiking the mic like he was trying to stop the clock.

 

[DominoKid]

sooooo whos doing the OT lol

[enzo_gt]

Dibs on OT8

 

[MuddyDonut]

That's why I pop in once and try not to go back. It usually doesn't work though.
