I want to discuss those opinions. That's why I'm here, and why I made the post.
Edit: and I value/respect the majority of your opinions on music. I try and see music from a different perspective and hopefully come to appreciate something I had not previously.
huh
Also, unanimous is far from people's opinions on 808s, everyone knows it's a love or hate album. I like it, but I understand if someone doesn't either.

Dude when it comes to production, fashion and art Kanye is just a poor mans Pharrell anyway, so don't sweat it too much 
Haha, I should have said in comparison to other artists... He is talented, we all know that. But he seems to be the one that current artists are constantly contrasted with, like he is up on a pedestal and can't be touched. Kanye is a cheesy/crazy/corny ass dude that just happened to have a good ear for music. Majority of it makes me cringe because those aspects of his personality just pour out of his music.

great video too
This is pretty dope.
a real standout from a quality album, t-swizzle is killin the game right now
Ye is a role model tho.When you grow up with no role models
Omg Necklace is so garbage. Rae's verse is straight, the rest is straight trash. The sample is kind of nice but the way it's looped and some of the other stuff done to the production is so wack.
Billboard 200 to start incorporating stream and track sales. Good move, probably a better one than the one Soundscan made.
The Rap Monument Behind The Scenes - Atlanta. So this is a 30 person track comissioned by Hennessey. Two-9, Nick Hook, Scotty ATL, CyHi Tha Prynce, Young Thug, Killer Mike, Pusha T, SL Jones
Jesus fuck @ what Thug is wearing. Pusha & CyHi sound wack as hell.
That Em/Slaughterhouse/Yelawolf goes, except for Em's part because of the random stops and the complete lack of acknowledgement that he's on a beat. Kind of misleading though, only verses from Royce and Crooked, who both go off.
King Crooked (Crooked I) - Freestyling Under Oath. Pretty dope and smooth. Still a stupid name change.

oh good now y'all are posting up taylor in here, neat
these statements i agree with
agreed but B is an obvious drop off...overall good but it's hard to deny bruh
these bits in particular, ouch. might need to check this out, why did he cut off Com for so long?
at least he went out like a G this time
ugh, why's your boy gotta drop his struggle the day before my birf like that
...this should be in the OP
honestly, i think we stopped trying at least a few OTs back

cac can be a fool, man.
This was good, but I was hoping he'd branch out a bit more considering it is an album.

Man, this Shady compilation is a waste of time.
Just listen to Til It's Gone and call it a day. I'll laugh if Yelawolf leaves that on this terrible album rather than keeping it for himself.
EDIT: Wait, the Yela track is only a European bonus track? LOL @ this album

Sounds like it was a mutual thing, they just went different ways with their career and No I.D. said something to the degree of in a post-Illmatic world he still didn't really feel comfortable not doing all the songs on an album, and it started from one of Com's earlier albums where Com wanted to bring other producers in and him feeling sort of hot about the idea even though he was down with it. I forget which beef it was, but No I.D. refused to do a diss song as well and that also contributed to the split.
I think what's even weirder is that they didn't cross paths again until 2008. Most of the interview is about Common.

Y'all hear that FlyLo/MF Doom track?
Some of it is detailed in this song: Rewind That
"felt like I had to leave home to become a household name"
(half of the song is about No ID, the other half is about J Dilla. It's probably my favorite track off of Nobody's Smiling.)
Yeah. I went through it the other day. Shit is still great and emotionally resonant for me. He had some heart on those albums man.
Gonna have to ask you to stop count.

Max Martin still cashing checks :ahmadinejad
im listening to this No ID thing.
can't believe this dude made that Let Me Hold You joint by Bow Wow
he makes that whole experience w/ Dupri sound so soul crushing to submit to.
i wonder how much money that dude has. he shits out hits.

Is it just me or has her music gotten drastically better all of a sudden?
edit: still with the boy troubles tho
It's just you.
It went from really shit to listenable, so yeah. Now that she's fully separated from pop country it's better
I feel the judgment...
Yeah this is what I'm getting at. I won't play it for myself, but I no longer feel disgust when it comes on.

Some of the songs have bars but due to the song structures (very long verses, short hooks if any at all) the album lacks replay value.
Lots of duds but some songs are definitely worth checking out, if only once.
I recommend Psychopath Killer (standout track), Y'all Ready Know, Fine Line, Right for Me, and Detroit vs. Everybody.
Be prepared for some wack beats by the way.
Speaking of eminem, this guy thinks it's ok to rap about rape in 2014?
That being said it is eminem, violence against women is one of his mainstays. Kinda like Jay and how he sold drugs, or Wu-Tang and kung fu movies.

pretty much. and i am usually fine with pop music.
what.
i think the last time em actually rapped about rape was relapse i think(?). i dont think he did before, i dunno i could be wrong on that.

Mecklemore Is My Favorite Wrapper
I can't tell if my ears or eyes are telling me this is okay. This is a recurring problem with Swift.
Nah man. Eminem stays rapping about beating/raping/killing women specifically. I mean its hip hop and you can rap about w/e you want but it's just part of his career.what.

There's a reason he targets pop stars specifically too; his listeners love that shit since they see him as a fount of 'real' music or whatever.
