I feel like I'm jumping in a pool of piranhas when y'all talking about Ye cause I'll never understand the love. Never. There is nothing wrong with the dude, he is a great producer and a good artist, but the worship you guys give him unanimously? Come on. Where does it come from? I tried to play along but Ye is like a religion to you guys, it's fucked up.
808s is garbage. I've went back three times and listened to the album back to back because of the frequency it's brought up in this thread. I always think, "man, there must be something with me. How do all these guys love the album but I don't fuck with it? What am I not getting?" So I go back and listen. Analyze the album, track to track, trying to rap along (or sing, whatever the fuck he is doing) and I just can't do it. It always comes out as garbage to me. Can someone give me an analytical breakdown of why it's appealing?
I needed to get this off my chest, I can't pretend to play the game with you guys. Shit's embarrassing. Oh, and this post will probably draw criticism concerning what I listen to now, so here's my top 5 currently. I'll avoid the typical Nas, Biggie, and Pac answers that seek instant approval.
