catching up on shit months late + those posts is pretty much all i got though
it's my own GAF caterpillar style: "a nice blend of defensive and offensive posting. The strikes are so fast that it is almost as if he has a hundred arms and legs, all of them posting gifs and shitting on your weak analogies with logic."
I think Em is the best to do it ever. I'm white. Only dude I'd put up against him is Cube.

Em is in my top 3 no doubt and some days I might place him first. Yes I'm white.
Pac, Biggie, and Nas are there too. I think Notorious would be the best if he hadn't died so young and was able to put out more material. (not that posthumous stuff, although Born Again was great)
I'm not saying you necessarily need to have a large catalogue to be considered great, I'm just saying his full potential wasn't realized.
And I still think the MMLP is one of if not the best albums. Stanning hard but fuck it lol I gotta leave to go to work on a high note

Kanye has 2 Albums Of The Decade (college dropout, MBDTF). What artist has that?

I'll admit Em is up there, but I can't stand listening to his ass. I liked a few tracks off his first LP but that was about it.
And Nas, only thing I can get through of his is Illmatic. The rest of shit bores me to death, especially his linguine rap shit
90% of the time I find "good" rappers boring as fuck

They both came out in the same decade... And while I like 808s it's not an opus like MBDTF is. Thats not a top 10 rap album, that's a top 10 album period. Full stop.
mah ninja
Always knew you were my boy.
I used to feel the same way about Nas, but I gave him more of my time and I realized how brilliant some of the rest of his catalogue is.
As for the bolded, name names, or we're not going anywhere

Wait...seriously?
CD>>>808s/Graduation/LR>MBDTF>WTT
I like them all though to be honest. The middle three are to hard to rank because my opinion of them is constantly changing. And I'll be honest, I bumped the shit out of WTT then it came out but in retrospect it isn't as good as I thought. I still enjoy it though.
MBDTF was a total gamechanger. His most introspective album while at the same time reflecting the changes in his production style. Probably my favorite album of all time

ahahaha
the cycle will never be broken

See, I'd agree with either CD or 808's as game changers, but what makes MBDTF so?
haha @ eminem thread. he is one of the all time greats imo.. but i'm not gonna say greatest of all time. that term is kinda silly. there doesn't need to be some all time king of rap..who cares.
right now i'm still being disappointed in how much i dont love c4c. ill sleep when youre dead was just sooooo much fucking better. :\

MBDTF is an enjoyable album but lower on kanye's discography for me.
Oh and kentpaul is THE BEST hit n run poster in gaf hop. When he just randomly pops up and posts something about hopsin and leaves I always have a good laugh.

So do you guys just hate yourselves or something? Because restarting the Kanye cycle when you already know what everyone likes and thinks is equivalent to punching yourself in the dick.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again but expecting different results.

All jokes aside Kanye's flashing light video was a game changer because it it gave prime time exposure to Rita G. I don't think any of his videos have had better eye candy.
I'm so proud of myself that I still haven't listened to MBTHZFD (besides the godawful singles). Same for Watch the Throne.
Everytime I think I might give that douchebag another chance he releases yet another horrible song (like that ridiculous riot inspired video or Mercy with synthies that would even put a eurotrash producer to shame)
oh and btw:
CD>808>LR>Hannah Montana OST>Any Justin Bieber album>Graduation
I swear that dude will give me a heart attack one day, what a match!

I swear that dude will give me a heart attack one day, what a match!It marked a drastic shift in his production, it basically laid the groundwork for his next-level-shit sampling and his shift to castle music. It was a step away from the pseudo conscious lane he was in w College Dropout to basically rapping about being a really conflicted person with all the money he could ever ask for. It was him saying you know what, rap can be fucking high art. And he fucking nailed it.

yeah overproduction and bragadocious rapping is a pretty bright future to be lead into, ill agree
i wonder if we're ready for such a unique vision though
you know what image ima quote at you here
aint even gotta say it

Damn. What the fuck. That was horrible.
I love the song. That was bad. Did they give him $200 to film it or something?
Overproduction can be debated, I actually love it. But MBDTF was as far from braggadocio as you can be- it was Kanye showing how vulnerable he actually is while at the same time being on top of the world. By far my fav subject matter on any of his albums. By comparison, WTT is the album that had the braggadocio, and I'm sure Cruel Summer is gonna turn it up to 11

Let me see

I can't think of much else at the moment, but the trend is when I feel like someone is talking at me with no energy I can't really fuck with it. If I wanted to listen to some super scientific shit I can just listen to one of my lectures.
I'm kind of in that dumb shit phase though atm
it makes being a hipster acceptable to mainstream rap listeners
mbtdf is a good album but it falls flat on its face a lot, either in extending songs past the point of making sense or in just sounding overly bombastic with too many bells and whistles attached. The mixing is objectively pretty shitty as well. I can fuck with some of the lyricism and the concept but a lot of it is whiny self-indulgent meanderings. Still, theres some good on there, and it stands out. I just think it reaches far and misses.
still better than 808s though. MBTDF is Stillmatic, 808s is Nastradamus, Graduation is I Am.., Late Registration is IWW, and College Dropout is Illmatic.
Just. Like. That.
I don't agree with it, but I fuck w this post.
I see what you're saying. And I like MBDTF. But Kanye ruined that shit. I still rock that AOTL version with Drake. He got overconfident. Fuck I'd love to see a Kanye gone back to his roots album. But fuck.
Though I agree, I don't think we've felt the effects of MBDTF yet. I don't think people are trying to replicate the sound. Though since it kind of segues into the WTT sound, people are definitely trying to go after that.
BTW while my Kanye stans are out in full effect for a 2 front Eminem and Yeezy attack on GAF-Hop, was a proper version of the AOTL Remix ever released? Any brother know where I can still get it even if its the unfinished mix?
dude get off the crack.*
Kanye has one album that comes remotely close to Nas second best. The rest is somewhere between I Am and Nastradamus.
Lost Tapes, IWW and obviously Illmatic shits on everything Kanye has ever done.
I mean he can't even rap for shit.

Life is Good isn't that disappointing
LOL The Kanye cycle is affecting that Kendrick video. Rocking that Runaway get up hahhaah.
Third best Nas album after Illmatic and HHiD.
This is true though. As long as it isn't Nas deciding if it's a good beat or not.
