KANYE IS 100% Right!!!

and the reason for it is because hip hop has been commodified and commercialized so no one wants to fuck with the profitable formula…there are also to many hustlers and not enough artists

Kanye is going through some real heavy shit, you can hear it in his voice, this nigga is about to lose it…keep it together YEEZY the game needs you!

WHITE BOY ANGRY, WHITE BOY DON’T LIKE TO BE ANGRY

LMFAO! shut the fuck up WHITE BOY, everything he said was true. Hip hop has become one big high school. I can count one ONE hand the number of rappers who are “individuals” and can still generate mainstream appeal. THAS FUCKED UP! and at the root of all of this bullshit is BET.

Kayne is a smart dude but he has changed his demeanor a lot since college dropout….shows u how money changes ppl…whether u like it or not it has…from the way he talks to the way he dresses…not that its a bad thing..Hey be urself.( if thats who u really are not what u think u have to be ) but i seen to many hip-hop artists get money then all of a sudden they are too cool. They start buying Basquiat’s and Yachts now all of a sudden they are so refined that the hood and shit aint for them..fuck outta here! But this is what the fans made so u have urselves to thank.. Take a bow!!!

he got so much hiphop arrogance and cockyness i luv it, all these niggas say they the best but i bet u none of them actually believe it. here’s a nigga thats not afraid to compliment other artist and still think he’s the best. but for some odd reason half of u niggas think sumthing is wrong wit him becuz he’s not tryin to instigate sum “beef” becuz he not angry and confrontational.
white boy tight wit him cuz he thinks kanye aint hiphop, i wanna know why is that an insult or a bad thing to do sumthin thats not hiphop. does everybody have to be so hiphop, especially when soooooo many hiphop niggas is wack and frontin hard body these days. u cant even fully appreciate how important hiphop is if u cant respect other type of music.
u see how he was talkin about the snare and how other producers respect it, he was mad hype. that shows me that he’s about the music. not about the bullshit. niggas think this 808’s and heartbreak is gay and he bitching. but he could be talkin his heartbreak over hiphop, and we can all relate to that. i’m still not coppin the album cuz i’m not really feelin it, but i respect it cuz he doin it for the music not for the money. he likes makin music, i like hearing music, other niggas just like gettin my 13 bucks.

im wit kanye on this one, my dude been consistent since he came out and still had his own style

This is my official claim to fame. I am now popular enough on this site for niggas to steal my name and post as me. I think its safe to assume #29 used my name on post 28. SMH

Anyway Kanye need to stop trying to apply logic and understanding to hip hop. The shit is consistently inconsistent when it comes to msgs, the direction of the movement, the overall values ect. Ye sometimes sound like a nigga who is creative enough to be successful at whatever he wants. He just so happen to do music.

can someone please tell Kanye that he is in a form of Andre 3000 about 3 or 4 years ago. 3000 has been doin what Kanye is doin and 3000 won a Grammy for it. Nigga the shit you doin aint new, it aint original stop tryin to act like you way ahead of niggas, and niggas who think he is way ahead go pick up The Love Below.

^^^^they’re not really alike…except for the fact that they both go away from hip-hop and explore melody/singing

The sounds of the albums are different…it’s like comparing John Legend w/ Musiq Soulchild….

I DIDN’T EVEN LISTEN TO THIS OVERRATED NIGGA. FUCK KANYE. HE’S ALRIGHT, BUT HE’S NOT REAL. IF HIP HOP IS A BIG HIGH SCHOOL THEN THIS OVERRATED ARROGANT COCKY CHIPMUNK MOTHERFUCKER IS THE PRINCIPAL.
WTF Says:
November 20th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Hip Hop is a big high school? This nigga talks waaaayyyy too much. He’s not a rapper or hip hop - he’s a music artist that’ll pimp himself to whatever product or company to keep his name in lights. His album ain’t rap. Fuck this overrated nigga brainwashing ya’ll niggas.
flyakite Says:
November 20th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
to flatbush34st, I never would say the Kanye is like 3000 thats fuckin impossible. Kanye is a branch off of 3000’s style and uniqueness, and not a very good one at that.. lol.

one of those dudes that should never be beside a mic unless hes making a song because he always says some dumb shit kanye just went from my favorite to the bottom of the barrel not even soulja boy would some dumb shit like this, this interview and 808 & heartbreak has ended his hip hop career bye bye kanye have fun being a fagot in the genre you just joined.
