Come on Rav. One Nigerian to another you going extra hard bruhBruh you're beyond reaching. Backpack rap and the pseudo-militant RATM rap Ye is spewing now are not the same. None of the tracks you mentioned are comparable to what we are being force fed on Yeezus. Kanye was giving us HIS story on those tracks. Like, he really worked at the Gap. He really was in a car crash. He really struggled to get to the top. He was giving us everyman raps from his perspective. And we could all relate to his struggle. Now he's rapping bout the DEA and consumerism and other things that are just very contrived coming out of his mouth. You can't rap about consumerism and have the most hyped sneaker on the market. Whining about fashion houses not taking him serious, when he has next to no credibility in fashion. Come on man foh. Rapping bout smashing white girls in the Hamptons when you just wifed Kim K and had a kid. Cut it out.A small quip on one song? CD also had Jesus Walks, All Falls Down, Through the Wire and Never Let Me Down.Lol @ comparing a small quip on one song to the entire vibe of an album.But you all want that College Dropout Kanye. The one rapping about being racially profiled while working at the mall.As predicted, people will find every excuse to like Yeezus and every excuse to hate MCHG. But I'll tell you what's real, the music and lyrics of MCHG are touching the streets and the net. Meanwhile, I don't hear Yeezus being played nor do I see anyone quoting its lyrics. But go ahead, keep playing that "different" card as if different somehow automatically means better or even good. No one wants to hear Jay-Z go left. Hard beats and real raps are all that's needed. Yeezus is dripping with pretentiousness and the media eats it up because they don't respect real rap. They can't wait to nominate Yeezus for awards and scream "you see, this is what real music sounds like!" while side-eyeing traditional rap. You honestly think Kanye, literally the most self-absorbed rapper out, gives a f about the stuff he's dribbling on Yeezus? No chance. If Dead Prez made a radio rap album people would be up in arms b/c we know that's not them. We know Kanye is not the militant anti-consumerism race conscious rapper he's pretending to be on Yeezus. Why anyone is entertaining it, is beyond me.
Which is it?
I hope Kanye's next album is country music inspired just so I can see how ya'll bend over backwards to defend it.
P.S. - Spaceship is my favorite Kanye song of all time
But at the same time Yeezus had songs where Ye was rapping about parking his Benz, smashing white dudes wives and models, and doing mad drugs cuz he's rich.
You can't knock Yeezus for being a Black Panther soundtrack, but then dismiss the backpack stuff on CD as "a quip on one song" and not "the vibe of an album."
You're being inconsistent. Come on Rav.
Let the oyebo put us down, don't help them.
Stay safe out there. Jay ain't worth it.that's what happens when you NT while driving.
