I'm 2018 serious

Context.

***** must shampoo with the lean

Mudboy soon

Y'all never heard of freeform locs before?

I agree that the bright blond and balding front look wild but the shape and sizes of the locs are just a result of him deciding to let them freeform at some point.

Theres freeform done right and then there's freeform done insanely wrong

Did Kanye really say we should get rid of the 13th amendment???

 

[JRaW’d]

Dave East walking around 125th and people going crazy makes you wonder why he can't get a album

dave east is a professional socialite.

that typa **** holds more weight than having a skillset these days. he def aint no rapper fr.

 

[ahat]

Wayne look like Beetlejuice

 

[aNYone]

Carter V sounding good to me. Chop about a third of it off and it’s gucci.

P.S. Mona Lisa has all the makings of a classic record but that’d have y’all punching the air so imma chill.

 

[Magic33]

This the second time you’ve quoted me about it in those same 24 hours. Leave me be, fam.

Bro ish look like it got gnats flying around it

***** must shampoo with the lean

Good grief Birdman took everything from him including his roots

Member this version ?

He needs some better producers. Lyrical content is there, but meh, some of the riddims he voice on leaves a lot to be desired

No, the production is fine. It fits him. His problem is making a hit and his style in 2018. You have to not be able to rap to win in 2018.

Never forgetting that, he been a clown forever. Straight buffoon.

Those stream numbers 10000% fake but it’s cool

I don't believe those numbers at all

Right. People ain't forget that. Even Wayne's fans know he's a air head. Nobody takes him serious. People talk about Kanye because for years he stood for something and had substance.

I disagree, I don't think people care.

This dude is a moron

West clarified: He just meant we should amend the amendment, not abolish it. “The 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise . . . meaning it never ended . . . We are the solution that heals.”

Y’all n_ getting aggravating posting this Kanye BS everyday. He’s dead in the water. Let this crap go.

Some of y’all heros ain’t who you perceived them to be. Give it a rest. Santa Claus ain’t real. Ya favorite celebrities aren’t, also

Mona Lisa is fire. Kendrick verse was unnecessary as hell though.

Nah Jay was talking about having to “dumb himself down” 15 years ago its nothing new

For the mainstream world you gotta have those records

Care about what Kanye does and says? People definitely care.

That was in regard to Wayne

So you just agreed with me

and in 1997 and 2003 it was a lot different than 2018.

Dumbing yourself down in the late 90's and early 00's is totally different from the BS we hear pop off now.

Rappers back then had plenty of singles where they showed skill.

That's what I was saying. Wayne has always been a air head so people don't care what he has to say but people didn't forget.

huh? I was responding to your comment about Wayne. People don't care. And people have forgotten. I think a lot of people with Kanye don't care either. I don't think people look at it that deep. He'll still sell a bunch of Yeezy's and people will still stream/buy his album. and his concert will still do numbers. Just like people will still root for Wayne against Baby, even though he adds nothing of substance to hip hop.

The people complaining are the minority.

Time and time again it's been shown artist can do and say anything and still have fan support. From beating women to statutory rape to dumb comments.

It's a lot of people saying **** Kayne, it's also a lot of people still buying his dusty shoes. This ain't a all or nothing thing. It's never "all people" or "everybody" when it comes to controversial topics.

The ***** has released three full length projects this year, how much more music do ****** be expecting from artist goddamn

Eh I don't really care to compare quality, thats a boring topic to me. Because tbh if this was the 90s Dave East prolly wouldn’t even stand out much

My point was more about the idea of understanding that if you're this type of rapper you gonna to "dumb yourself down", come up with a new formula and/or work on a different skill set if you wanna get in that arena play ball.

Just being good at rapping don't cut it. You can still show off your skills but the record comes before that

I think the hardest thing is self discovery and figuring out how to do it in a way thats true to yourself. Jay and Kendrick crack off hits but the records never really feel forced or like they reaching. Those Uzi and Chris Brown records just felt awkward as hell to me

I enjoyed P2 and Karma 2
