|[ - Kanye West - Coldest Winter - ]|

I'm getting tired of hearing Kanye being called a "genius" for this *%+* (not directed at anyone on here, but many ppl i know)...this isbasically a cover of a tears for fears song....i dont get how that makes him a "genius"...lounge singers must be the biggest geniuses in the worldfor doing frank sinatra covers...

his other songs aren't really anything new or groundbreaking either, it's just Kanye's take on 80s pop...

and i'm not saying the music is bad or anything, i just hate how when anyone's favorite artist does something that's mediocre, or not up toexpectations, all these ppl come out and say it's "genius" and nobody is feeling it bc they cant understand it...

I'm still not feelin' the whole direction he's taking it in, but w/e...

My thing is, I don't get how people are saying it's extraordinary and all this other *%!# when he's not doing anything unheard of...he's a rapper/producer who's singing and using autotune...how is that "creative"? That's basically the latest trend in the industry...Kanye was more of a trendsetter than a follower, so that disappoints me...

Like I said before, I'll reserve judgment until I hear the whole joint...but finally, something I like Heartless is something i like

My whole point when it comes to kanye West yes he's different but stop calling the man a genius for doing things like this.
 
dope track too. waiting for a better quality version to really bang it cuz all i got is the radio rip.

gonna be a dope album...that's 3 +++ songs for me so far.
 
Half of NT thinks they're kanYe's manager.

At this thread. I don't think alot of people understand the beefsome have with Ye right now. His ENTIRE career has been based on being a trendsetter...then he goes and follows the current trend. It's not hard tounderstand really...he's not doing him. He's like 1 for 3 right now with these tracks and never...ever...ever have I been able to say that about him. Iappreciate him trying to incoperate other genres into his producing...I really do, but at this album is EASILY his worst up to this point. That doesn'tmean it will be trash because it may be a banger but right now he's going to sell off his name and his name only. Not his songs...which is COMPLETELYopposite from the last 3 albums. If you can't see that, you need to stop riding.

of course, he's said he's putting this album out from his heart...doesn't care about how much sales there are...you can believe thisor not, but it's more of an album about his life now...like it or not, he's putting it out.

plus, lookin like another album from him june '09.

I can see anybody not liking the songs, but for everybody who is hypin this +*** it up....you got people like you saying the album is trash andit's his worse, when you've only heard THREE tracks....

Than you even said he is incoperating other genres into his music, yet you say he is following trends? What Hip Hop artist is making anything sounding likethese tracks besides the use of autotune?

Would be his following the trend...didn't think I'd have to spell it out. We've heard 3 tracks out of 11....about 30% of the album and it's notlooking good, you can't say that about any of his previous albums. I mean look at the threads for each song he has put out....pretty easy to deduce whypeople are saying it's gonna be trash. There hasn't been a song out that says otherwise. He, IMO, should have left his grieving to himself and not putit on an album. I mean that pretty much what this album is...where his life is...a grieving process. Completely understandable, but as an artist/entertaineryou can't always bring personal life into it....and this looks like it's gonna be a prime example of why you don't.
 
Yo I'm Not Feeling This +%@$ That Kanye Is Doing He Needs To Back To Rapping. I'm Not Trying To Here Him Sing And Use Auto-Tune.
