I'm SO tired of this kinna crap. (Edit: AKA Lady Gaga, perfect example of "other") It's not deep or profound, its just an attempt to seem so to dumb people. And just for the record, I'll point out the obvious that "identifying opposites" is NOT deep. Black/White, Up/Down, Devil/Angel... why does this always get people to think they have meaning? AKA: Bumper stickers with Angel on one side, Devil on other... or songs that say "I hate you, I love you"... ugh... are you fucking kidding me? This guy is so self indulgent is just begging for attention. I feel dumb for watching most of the video actually expecting that it would have content. Fuck. | ||

The last good Kanye album was Late Registration. I had big hopes for this album that Kanye would return to his roots, a more traditional hip hop sound. Whatever. If he is making money by putting in mediocre effort making shallow ass music, props to him. He found out how mainstream music works. | ||

K-OS isn't a newer rapper.. the guy has been around for a while now man. If you're gonna be dropping names like Sugarhill gang you gotta realize that K-OS has been around since the 90s. xD To be honest, the best hip hop artists in the game right now are probably Mos Def or Black Thought. I'm not gonna put down anyone who doesn't think so, but they probably just dont understand the content if they don't see them as some of the best that ever lived. p.s. where is madlib? You are probabIr right. I know mos def and hes great. I hear a lot of people mention black thought but I honestly haven't heard much from him I have to give him a try cause a lot of people say hes the best out right now hands down.Although I put Jay Electronica/Talib Kweli up there as well. I still think ppl like kanye/Jay-Z/Eminem/nas are up there as well. I just disagree completely that hip hop is dead. cause its definitely not. And to be honest that list is better than that mob deep LL list way up there imo. But like i said diff era for a lot of those guys | ||

Kanye West has made some of my favorite hip-hop and I'm glad to see he's still innovating. I wouldn't go that far. Interstella 5555 from Daft Punk is and always will be a classic! Kanye West is good, but I'm not sure about calling his short film on the same level as Interstella 5555. | ||

Fair enough, the list I wrote certainly isn't comprehensive, these are just the first bunch that came to mind when I tried to think of hop-hop artists from the 90's who blow Kanye out of the water (I guess not all of the ones I mentioned are even really "90's artists", but you get what I was going for with my post). Yes, I am aware that K-os has been around since the 90's I shouldn't have said "newer artists" but rather artists with more recent releases. I definitely agree that Mos Def is fantastic, but I haven't really listened to enough Black Thought to form a decent opinion. I'm not trying to be a snob, I just fucking hate mediocre artists who think they are the best thing since sliced bread. I don't see how anyone who has been exposed to a large variety of music/genres can consider him to be so talented. Maybe I'm just so distracted by him being a gigantic idiot that I can't see his music without bias. | ||

Not great, but decent. and those dissing kanye or any artist 1st try to make an album and win something, i really hate that people with no musical skills whatsoever have the idea that they can say something is absolute shit when they have no idea how to make a good song. Much less a good album. | ||

If the car doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't fucking matter what our qualifications are. | ||

The problem is people are hating for the wrong reasons, people automatically assume things by what they hear from others. When that happens when those people ever hear that artist they cringe and not even give it a chance, whether their ears would like it or not. If you have no taste, no opinion, and no interest in music you shouldn't critique it. I know a lot of people think they have their own opinion, but in reality its just not true. A lot of people listen to music to fit into a scene, gain popularity, or just make $$$. Once they can start being true to their likes and dislikes then they should discuss why you think its bad, or just not post at all. It makes no sense to pass judgment on something you don't take the time to judge. Also all you other "artists" out there are just scared that he's here. | ||
