Don’t know lil Wayne and I think Kanye is a huge asshole with no talent.

Isn’t lil a girls name?

If they are on Apple Music I will entertain Wayne but I have very low expectations. Kanye is dead to me.

I am torn with Kanye. He is an asshole and I hate the kardashians, but I’ve always enjoyed his music and I like his shoes lmao.

I thought Ye was a solid album.

I can’t do it Wes. I won’t wear yeezy either just because I don’t want to be associated with him. He’s completely insane. At this point I have more respect for his wife.

Graduation is one of the greatest hip hop albums of my lifetime but that’s about all I can say anymore. He should go back to producing.

He hasn't written anything himself in a while. He's a performer now, not the genius he once was. He should give that up and stick to producing. He still has that magic.

I read somewhere that yeezy is getting close to biting the dust. May be a collector opportunity for those into sneakers.

Damn, not only twist the knife, but break it off inside.

[Abdullah71601]

Who is ghosting for Kanye these days?

[enjoythemusic]

Great, as look fwd to them arguing over who sold the most albums / songs... It IS the entertainment biz after all LOL!


Nicki had her moment is the spotlight after being Prince'd by a smarter guy who gave away his album with concert ticket sales.

Neither for me as well. Just not my taste.

Same. Could care less.

It's all a big Snoozefest to me. When it enters the ears, one can practically feel the neurons grinding to a halt as the soulless, contrived, over-produced and robotic sounds attempt to find purchase.

Boredom is almost instantaneous, and hope for something sonic to elicit excitement or some (any!) other feeling swiftly dies as it becomes evident this thing devoid of the musicianship or composition needed to tweak either the visceral or intellect isn't a purposeful, cheeky tease that leads the listener into a reveal of something that will, but rather and unfortunately, they aren't kidding, that's it; aural baby food laced with quaaludes. Nap time.

[droptopman]

Neither for me. Cannot even wear Yeezys which are so cool but the association with KW kills it for me.

[superdog]

Who?

[Brew]

I am insufficiently hip (or hop) to know one from the other, etc.

Ill check out both. Why all the Kanye hate?

He HAS been medically diagnosed as crazy.

He's very polarizing. While his music early on was genius, he has devolved into a media nutcase. He started believing his own press and thinks he's some sort of deity. And, his antics tend to piss off all but his most devoted fans. Even Jaz Z wishes he'd grow up (probably has something to do with the tens of millions Kanye owes him though).

[cruise_bone]

I prefer to download MUSIC, not this kind of trash thank you very much.
Absolute garbage.

[Blansky]

Never got the Kanye thing. Thought he was a talentless self promoter like the family he eventually married into.

Celebrity infatuation goes right over my head.

As for lil Wayne, don’t think I’ve got any of his music and I have pretty eclectic taste. Have to check him out.

Most people consider Wayne’s best work to be the mixtapes carter 1, 2, and 3. He’s a genius but I have to say I’m not huge on his music.

In spite of Kanye’s assholish antics for the past 15 years, I really think a lot of you are underselling his influence on rap and pop culture at whole. This is the guy that killed gangster rap as we know it for gods sake. He made it ok to have emotions and introspection in mainstream rap - none of the modern greats would exist in their current form without it. I probably won’t pick up either of these albums (I’m all Kanye’d our from this surgical summer), but both Wayne and Kanye are icons.

I grew up in the 80s and high school in the 90s. I prefer gangster rap.

Really? A talented musician? Remind me what instrument he can play. None? Ok, you must mean he is a great singer, right? No?

This is why people say rappers aren't musicians. Because they can't make anything musical. It's laughable to hear a guy like Kanye described as a musician. It's like calling a pro bowler an athlete.

Artist? Sure. Cultural influencer? Absolutely. Just not a musician.

Talking over somebody else's anemic bass line and canned drum track might be entertaining and enjoyable for some people, but it doesn't come close to being music. There's nothing wrong with enjoying it. I like some classic rap. I just don't limit myself by pretending it is music and ignoring the wide world of actual music that is out there to enjoy.

Artists don’t write their own music, lyrics are empty, and the main focus is a catchy beat. Songs are propular for a month or two and then it’s on to the next one. It’s a formula that most seem to follow.

Agreed. It's widespread.

Even in a rap thread, bowlers get no love
