Nah, Jay.
I don't like reading.
EVOL is okay-to-good, leaning more towards good. Still growing on me with subsequent listens.
A few legitimately good songs, but man, really makes you realize the joke about all KRIT's hooks sounding the same works pretty much the same if not better for Future at this point. I'd rate it much higher than Purple Reign but neither are even in the same plane of existence as DS2, either falling flat on the hooks or songwriting in general, or the production being mixed. The production on EVOL has a lot of real nice atmosphere or sounds that creep up in places but then the drums end up being some super basic shit.
Low Life is by far the best track and a legitimate keeper. Fly Shit Only, Maybach, Lie To Me are good as well, and then there are a bunch of tracks that are mostly carried by production (Xanny Family, Photo Copied, Program) and the rest are somewhere between inoffensive and eye-roll worthy.

Like FZZpure said, even if the only thing you listened to was The College Dropout, you should be aware of this. I mean, insecurity is one of the biggest themes throughout his entire career, that and probably religion.
Someone explain to me how the Martin Shkreli motherfucker is a real human being and why he's talking to KTT members
He talks like a fuccboi

Maserati Martin is a thing now
the hook on maybach
Laying low in a Maybach
Spraying at you like an Arab
Streets having you going crazy
I got my young n*ggas going crazy
Masked up n*gga everyday
Got the sharp stick with me everyday
Half a pound in the ash tray
Burn it down n*gga while I wait
Burn it down on good drink
On good drink, on good drink
Money long get your money long
Get these yellow diamonds I ain't had to call
Ridin' low like an esse
Getting doped up that's everyday
Hermes on me every day
Keep some Cartier on me every day

Agreed
Yeah, only weak track to me
Shkreli is trolling them so hard.
The King.
This Anderson .Paak - Malibu is sick; like a more hip hoppy Bilal thanks for the recommendation. For Paak fans I recommend checking out Bilal's "In Another Life" album. Satelites being one of the better tracks.

I apologize for interupting your discussion of some rich fuck; you may return to not talking about hip hop.

Honestly I have no clue I am only following KTT rn because they want to get the Shkreli diss out to him
Edit: Uncensored School Spirit. The one in my library is censored as well, and apparently this is the first CDQ uncensored version.
Edit 2: Apparently uncensored version wasn't released because Aretha Franklin wouldn't clear the sample unless it was clean.
Siege mentality.
Being a villain is the best spot to be.
Villains set their own standards whereas heroes have to live up to society's standards.
Even if all you ever saw of Kanye were his cocky interviews or other stunts you'd be a fool to not think he was insecure as hell. It's blatantly obvious his cocky stunts are a manifistation of his insecurity.
And just because he acts humble around a legendary music executive/producer doesn't mean he's actually a humble person. That's not uncommon for a narcissist to appear humble to someone they view as a powerful/talented person. And Kanye is certainly a narcissist.
His interviews and the shit he says on Twitter are how he chooses to represent himself; you don't get to pull the "I'm humble" card just because you act that way around the likes of L.A. Reid or have "look at how insecure I am" songs.

Would be a relevant point if everyone who's interacted him personally, of greater or lesser power, didn't all say the same thing that he's super nice and humble (and you hear it most from upcoming artists). He has a reputation of that unless you only pay attention to the TMZ narrative.
Doesn't absolve him of the terrible shit he does say/do, but even if we're taking his twitter and interviews there's plenty of material out there with him showing love to other artists and putting himself beneath others. I wouldn't call dude humble or narcissistic outright, it's clearly a mix and that's most likely because dude is socially awkward and emotional/insecure.
Damn
Maybe it's time to throw out your walkman and join the rest of us in the 21st century.

Plenty of geniuses become frustrated because they're so far ahead of everyone else they have to constantly explain or justify themselves. It's like a grown adult having a serious conversation with a child. I feel bad for Kanye.

yes yes
Now a Stormzy video can pull 22 million views, i saw an interview not long ago with someone (may have been Stormzy himself, not big on grime myself) and he was saying how much it did for the scene just by bringing them on stage with him.
yes yes
A great example of this would be when he brought all them grime artists out with him at the Brit awards. I love that he did that, it didn't benefit him at all, but he went out of his way and it great things for grime and really helped to raise the profile in the eyes of the UK media and music industry where it was still really niche.
