The Worst by Jhene Aiko

BECAUSE I'M A SAD BOY

Letting a butt pirate sail on rough seas will do that to you.

Looking at the one on the left like so

Most people who dislike the entirety of hip-hop probably enjoy hip-hop or something influenced by hip-hop and don't even know it because they're uncultured swine :'(

had to come through on my wu-tang real quick, fuck ya'll niggas

Basically if you really get down to it the sound of popular hip-hop music and arguably the majority of hip-hop as a whole follows Kanye. Kanye started out as a record producer and produced for some of the biggest artists of the 90's and is credited with shifting the sound towards soul samples, then he became a rapper and solidified that by dropped his first album which is considered to be great by pretty much everyone. Then with his second album, Late Registration, he built on that sound by adding a lot more orchestration to it and then he did the live show Late Orchestration where he really went all out with the live instruments. Then you've got Graduation where he went for a sound more electronic based that he sometimes called "Stadium Status" and at the time no rap sounded like it but afterwards hip-hop shifted more towards where it is now with its heavy draw on electronic based music. Graduation is where he sampled Daft Punk and made the song Stronger. Also fun fact, the music video of that song is based on Akira. Then you have 808's and Heartbreak where he used auto-tune and made a very emotional album with almost all singing and no rapping. At the time a lot of people hated it but one of today's biggest artists, Drake, says that album inspired him a lot of that release is what opened the door for more emotional and honest rappers to come up such as Drake, Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino and many more. Then there was the whole Taylor Swift VMAs incident and after that Kanye decided he had to win back the public so he made My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and to this day that album is still being hailed as on of the greatest albums of the decade/century. Its still topping lists from major publications because its considered to be perfect/nearly perfect by a lot of people. Then he made Watch The Throne with Jay-Z. Two of the biggest rappers of the time doing an entire album is monumental. Those two albums kind of built on the sounds and styles of his last few albums, perfecting them in a way. Then he made Yeezus which literally went the exact opposite direction of Dark Fantasy. It starts out really abrasively and all the sounds are just rough. He says its the equivalent of giving people an unfinished album, the whole thing is dark and really experimental up until the last song Bound 2 which brings back the soul sampling he was originally known for. For a mainstream rap album to sound the way Yeezus did was extremely confusing and people are still torn about it. But now you can hear that Yeezus sound creeping into a lot of up and coming hip-hop artists, once again proving that Kanye is a trend setter.

have fun reading all that

Excuse me for thinking your opinion is not based in much actual knowledge or experience with modern rap.

One thing you can't take away from Kanye, I'd say, is his revolutionary influence on popular rap. You can really argue that he does set the trends that become the norm for every other artist. I can go into detail, but I doubt you really care.

sounds realistic

Let's all remember that we're all humans and we can all relate to each other regardless of gender if we just open our minds and your hearts. Next you silly kids will be saying you don't want to play your vidya because the playable characters don't contain the same level of melanin content in their skin.

What a beautiful thing we have going here. I call wearing European high fashion clothes that make no practical sense and speaking in Rhymes like Killer Bee for my theme. This will be so fun.

Same here, lets a start a "Misty's Evil Exes" club

Kanye is the greatest, he continually shifts the direction of popular music (especially and more specifically hip-hop) while also broadening the reach of the umbrella that is the hip-hop genre, constantly adding new sounds to its repertoire. Also I persoanlly don't see Yeezus as a Death Grips rip off, there's a lot more going on there.

Wow you used Rack City as an example of why you don't think rap is music good job you deserve a cookie for listening to the radio because it's such a proper representation of every genre and not a corporate machine designed to force feed people with bottom of the barrel tunes.

Did I miss something in my absence?

Truthfully I just want my ****ing rainbow names back. Or teal.

Who are you?

Too bad I plan to change my name as soon as these rainbows make me pink again. The need to get it together, this is horrible service.

I thought I was getting unbanned tomorrow, my "The Adventures Of Ghetto: A Year In Review" post isn't completely ready yet

you'd be on there if you were my friend
