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

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.

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.
I don't believe those numbers at all
Right. People ain't forget that.
I disagree, I don't think people care.

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.”

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

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

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.

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
