It's not true for you, but it's true for me and nothing to do with him as a person or being lazy. I just don't really like more than few songs here and there.......LR and Dropout I can still throw it in anytime and never have to skip songs.....but hey that's just liked my opinion man Edit: Graduation is fucking dope too re-listening to it at the gym
808s is probably his most relevant album if you look at the state of rap today. Probably doesn't lead to the wave of rapping singers we have today if that album doesn't exist Lot of melodic hooks, use of synthesizers to vocals It's an awful opinion to say it doesn't matter/we should ignore it but agree to disagree
Not only that it's a much better album than we all remember We just didn't like it because he wasn't rapping but IMO it's better than graduation which has his worst song ever (Barry Bonds)
Tyga is needs to run away from that family as fast as he can. Damn when Kayne and Lamar got to the ledge the Kardashians just pushed them over. I best Kris already has a people magazine cover ready for this.
That's probably taking it a half step too far. To Pimp A Butterfly, for example, is a more important album than 808s. 808s is wildly underrated though, and was transformational of the genre in many respects.
TPAB is a much better album, but its not as important. it didn't completely change the genre like 808s did. when I say important, I mean its impact on culture in general
Oh yeah culturally TPAB >>> 808s But the genre itself, 808s shifted everything no matter what people say
Not saying you're wrong but I think TPAB would need a little more seasoning to be considered. Given the initial backlash against 808s and the shift in the genre afterwards, I'd wait a bit before trying to compare those and their respective impact.
Listening to MBDTF at work this am. That "Yeezy taught me" speech at the end of Blame Game still makes me "I'ma shoot a bootlegger! That's how good I feel about this nigga!"
I can get down with this Was kinda just fucking around earlier about 808s. I can appreciate it for the impact but wouldn't really ever listen to it. It's like when people talk about how the Beatles changed music forever. I agree but still don't really want to actually listen to the Beatles. Robocop does it for me though
For me MBDTF is like Jordan over Ehlo or Monet working or Lance Armstrong in the mountain stages It's an artist or performer or competitor in his absolute prime. Channeling some of that previous unbridled creativity but so fucking focused on dominating. It's such a tight album but it's not too stuffy or risk-averse, either. It's youthful, goofy Yeezy plus "I'm gonna murder the game" Yeezy plus "fuck the haters" Yeezy. Always think about this photo when I'm listening to it
I don't especially care for the second half of mbdtf despite the first half being full of my favorites pls don't yell at me
Bitter sweet taste made his gold tooth ache (uh) Make a knee shake, make a priest faint (uh) Make a nun cum, make her cremate (uh) Move down town cop a sweet space (uh) Livin' life like we on a sweep stakes (what) We headed to hell for heaven's sakes (huh) Well I'ma levitate, make the devil wait (yeah) @ohhaithur
the back to back of devil in a new dress and runaway is brilliant. probably my favorite two tracks in a row on any album ever
Just tried to listen to 808s again. No, just no. It's not good. It's never been good and it's a disgrace to hip hop and my eardrums.
Well it's a huge share of the market right now so it shows that a majority does like it And it's not as much the singing as much as spread to the creation of people like Young Thug
