Ye going in.

"Giving me 2 nominations is like giving a waiter a 2 dollar tip, Macklemore know what it is" #YEEZUSTOUR
"Macklemore know what it is, he tried, he made some good music, he's a good kid, but y'all know what it is." Kanye on Grammys #YEEZUSTOUR

TitanFall so based.
Open beta tomorrow BTW. (in case some people are still fiending for keys)

EDIT: Travi$ Scott teasing his next heat rock:

@trvisXX

Wait so Drake and Kendrick are there. I wonder if they talked and Drake was able to explain his feelings and emotions.

If only Macklemore showed up.

I wonder if Ye would have said the same had Jay Z won. Kanye wasn't even in 2nd place.

The Grammy fiasco probably made Kanye more of a Kendrick fan than he already was. I'd be surprised if they don't have a couple tracks out this year, perhaps one on Kendrick's next album.

I don't really want to hear Kanye and Kendrick do significant collaborations right now. I just think they're in entirely different ideological, musical, aesthetic and financial places. It'd be good for Kendricks career right now but it just seems atm.

You know, I'm on record previously in this thread saying that Kanye/Kendrick collabos would be weird but I think it might work out. Sonically, I think Kendrick could use something a bit more different for his next album. He needs to prove his versatility and something with Kanye's synth heavy stuff now would be cool. It's not even that really, Kanye is a dope exec producer. If Kanye exec producers his next album, I wouldn't be mad. He knows how to hone sounds.

But really, in the best case scenario I want Ye to get Kendrick on a Mercy-esque beat and just let him tear that shit apart. Let him swag out a bit.

Listening to that new CyHi record.. I think Ye could curate something similar for Kendrick depending on what he wants to do thematically. But really, Kendrick doesn't need Ye. He doesn't need big name producers at all really, he has genuine star power.

The only versatility Kendrick 'needs' to demonstrate imo is crossover viability and hit making. I have doubts about both.

Just got back from a soul rebels show.

They covered a ton of hip hop songs, and brought out Styles P and Prodigy.

Pretty dope.

I agree with this. Kendrick's penchant for making great music is unquestioned IMO, I have no worries about that. But can he make hit records? Dunno. Swimming Pools was a great magic trick IMO; dude tricked white chicks into thinking a song about alcoholism was a drinking anthem. You don't get away with that twice.

Poetic Justice was a hit due to Drake, although I do believe it would have done well without him. And Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe got into the top 40 due to the Hov remix. We probably short change him because he DID have a hit record all by himself in Swimming Pools, but he needs to show-and-prove again.

He'll have a host of hook writers and tracks at his disposal. Still I just don't see Kendrick having a Started From The Bottom type track

Maybe Ace's status is just under review, like all of NBA-GAF. He's been a pretty level headed mod. It'd be weird to not see him in red for long.
 
The thing that gives Hov the advantage is how consistently good he has been with picking beats.

To give one example, even though Enter The 36 Chambers might be my favorite Hip-Hop album as far as production goes, the beat selection on the other Wu-Tang albums was really poor compared to it.
You better not be talking about Wu Tang Forever, dun.

This might be the case, I know Hitokage (I think?) and a few other mods stopped being mods for a bit and then when the smoke cleared they became mods again.
