Ye last 3 albums have been ass ass and horrible
Gaf-hop, I've got a sample of a track from my EP I'm working on for Nov here. Can you guys give it a listen and tell me what you think? I'm at that point where I've heard it so much, I can't tell up from down atm.

Not a long time fan of hip hop but i try to keep up, i read about the feud between Jay Z and Nas..now i am thinking maybe i should listen to some stuff by Nas. So any suggestions GAF or should i just start with illmatic
Jay Z molded, shaped, funded and controlled Kanye for years before letting him go. He literally sonned Kanye. Unfortunately, Ye stans have really bad memories and huff nitrous, so it is what it is. He gave Ye a job, straight up, and signed him when people at Capitol, Atlantic, wherever weren't trying to hear that shit. Kanye West has helped Jay a lot, but the fact of the matter is, he wouldn't exist without Jay. The Blueprint could have been made with songs from other producers, and BP actually didnt' sell as much as Vol 2, 3, and The Black Album. It actually seems like Jay does better from a commercial perspective without Kanye's creative input, WTT aside obviously..

nope. but his last few albums have stomped jay z's shit. I think 808s and Yeezus in particular are really good experiences. and jay z is only good now when he collaborates with kanye. his stuff by himself like in mchg was shit.
Actually starting with Illmatic might tarnish his other solid material, I'd start like this:
Stillmatic, then listen to Lost Tapes, then listen to It Was Written, and then save Illmatic for last. And you're basically done.
Do you like 90s hip hop?
If yes, then Illmatic
If no, then Life is Good
Do you like Illmatic?
Then listen to It Was Written.
Do you like Life is Good?
Then listen to Stillmatic.
Do you like all of the above? Then listen to Lost Tapes.
If you like trash, listen to everything else
Trying to remember when any Ye stans ever debated any of this. That's common knowledge. They worked on one song in 2003, on Jay's best album, with perhaps the most ambition he's had when it comes to an album through his career too lol If anything that further shows Jay's decline if there is some sort of Rick Rubin Advantage Card being played here.
And time is a bitch, you can't say he does better or worse as long as Jay's worst albums have all been later in his career, with his worst having pretty much zero involvement from Ye (MCHG). Also Jay was very hands-off when it comes to Ye's career from the jump. Dude really didn't mold shit creatively. Jay mentions as such in Fade To Black IIRC.

lol forreal. ginger ninja.
There is hardly anyone in here that hasn't critiqued yeezus. I feel like gafhop as a whole is under some delusion that yeezus is widely liked because other than a few in here the album has been consistently shit on.
I think most of GAF-Hop liked Take Care. Even PP did. GAF-Hop mostly clowns Drake for all of the non-music stuff he does or some of the obviously substance-less facades he keeps up. I like the dude though.
Also this.
I said commercially, not creatively. MCHG is about to pass BP3 and it's been out since July 4th, with only a single video and single.
Mostly positive, not for me though

Nah i ain't nobody's alt guys..about yeezus, i am in no way an expert but i think it was good although ye was lyrically bankrupt..I am a god sounded good but was cringe worthy
what are your thoughts on nujabes?
Yeah, I'll agree with you a lot of the lyrics are lacking/cringeworthy. I still like the album though.
Listen to take care. You'll like it.
Yeezus lyrics are incredibly hilarious. I'm In It is my favorite song from it now.
ASAP Mob album coming Oct 15

YES...I really don't think Ye gave two fucks and it makes the songs much more hilarious.

Art of War III is coming.
This is the Goosebumps version of Nas' discography. They both end in horror.
Hold my liquor > black skinhead > guilt trip > blood on the leaves for me.

that big sean album sucks. stay trippy leaking shortly after made me forget about it.
Ditto.
I'm In It has grown on me so much.
I think the lyrics are generally pretty bad, but it has some of the best quotables of his entire career. Ye just having fun on the mic, and it comes across on the first half of the album especially. It focusing on creating a vibe for a song is part of the reason I like it so much. On stuff like Bound 2 it just comes off as turribad, which is coincidentally the song with the most awkward vibe on the album.

Stay Trippy probably has the most liberal use of filler I've heard on an album all year. Shit oozes of C grade bangers inbetween some sparse hot songs. Really feels like a mixtape someone puts out just to keep things moving with two songs that actually are worth pushing.
yeaaa it wore off for me too. like 2.75 mics, though I still really like shit like Toyota Music.
It's corny but believe in Aubrey. This album is brought to you by snuggies and charmin ultra.
Bound 2 is fantastic, if only for the contrasting hook/verse. I love it. I know im in the minority on that one though.
Not true, and either way they are better than Jay's.
Blood on the Leaves is my favorite track of Yeezus. One of my favorite Ye songs period.
Blood on the Leaves would have felt at home on Ye's best album too.
Though I don't think Yeezus comes together very well and really sounds like it was caught mid-transition from a serious record to a fun record or vice-versa, I really do feel like half of the album is some of Ye's best material ever. New Slaves, Black Skinhead, On Sight, Guilt Trip, I Am A God, Hold My Liquor strike me as genius at times. Blood On The Leaves is great too, but I don't get the same feeling.
I like both parts of the songs.. they're just too jarring together. Sometimes I want one part to rock longer and the other one kicks in. Similarly, I can only listen to one half of m.A.A.d City at a given time.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy?
hahaha. so true .. but i like it .. ? :\
my favorite track on the album. honestly.
