    And about publications...bout a year back I mentioned how much we miss the OG Source. An urban-led respected publication that's actually above the artists it rates. Some ? didn't seem to understand.

    Well now you see how it plays a factor. Complex and Pitchfork aren't strong enough to survive a Kanye attack. They give Kanye a bad review and he goes on a twitter rant they start losin money. I cant even imagine any possibility of a Kanye album that Complex and Pitchfork wouldnt grade as excellent??

    Not to mention these dudes are not power brokers. Just nerdy ass hipster bloggers. Kanye givin these ? Season 3 tickets and a pair of Yeezys they will NO cross him.

    On the flip, The OG Source had no problem rating Jay z and Nas' subpar albums appropriately. We have no such viable barometer anymore and this is how it plays a part. ? like Yeezus and TLOP goes unchecked.

    So let me ask ya'll a question. What would ya'll like to see Kanye do artistically?

    Make. good. music. What kinda sign of the times Complex question is this

    Real music is organic idgaf about any rappers artistic direction that's code for i fuked up

    -Common, some fans were put off by Electric Circus, what do you say to that?
    -Well i went in a differnt artistic direction. ..

    -Kanye, Yeezus was panned by fans what do you say to that?
    -Well i went in a differnt artistic direction. ..

    Dope beats, dope rhymes man ? that dumb ?

    Regardless of what u said its still just YOUR opinion. Some will agree, some wont. I personally know people that like the album n I heard other people on podcasts (ie Joe Budden, CthaGod) who have no reason to ? ride say they liked the album.

    The common denominator is all the people who say he been on a multiyear decline still checked for the ? n will probably check for the next project...even when this one wasnt easily accessible. U either had to find a link or input personal information (do some work) for the album to hear it

    U a fan

    He right. Kanye got a whole Lotta of Dollaz and not enough sense. Kanye hasnt had a good album since 2007.

    Electric Circus will be looked at years from now as a classic album.

    I wouldn't use the term "classic" on the album but I personally liked the album. I have no qualms with it

    Maybe his head is all the way up in Kim Kardashian's v@gina. Vadashian ... the new p*ssy.

    Well damn! Ether for the soul.

    Havent read the thread yet but Kanye responded with feelings yet?...lol

    Edit: ok read the thread. INB4 Kanye responds with feelings or has a skit on his next album getting bigged up by Quik.

    I thought it was random of him to mention kim kardashian, when kanye west drops an album his bar of expectation in rap is incredibly high compare to others . TLOP has its moments where it's good but it also has its moments when it is bad.

    Biggest DJ Quik fan got all his albums from Born and Raised to Balance & Options. He come off as hater on this one. You can say the album weak, but all the extra stuff said uncalled. One the for sure Yae beats is always crazy!!!

    Cuz she has a lot to do with why he sucks.

    Having Kardashian reality cameras on the left of u and the fashion industry on the right of u is not an environment conducive to making good hip hop music

    I told ? about 'Ye fuckery months ago. Leave it to a legend to put it into prospective. The album was average at best & anyone willing to buy it after all that Tidal ? is a damn fool. Them Kardashian's have cursed talented ? its pretty well documented. Who doesn't know this? They leave these dudes so worried about their image they get away from what made them great to begin with.

    Make college dropout again but not the same, just the same

    Talk about Chicago some more even though he talked about it before we knew a chief keef

    Talk about college some more even though we hate when Cole do it

    Talk about his current life with the college dropout feel....don't do anything else, just give us some college dropout/late registration music...yeah he probably got the best discography in hip hop but we want more...just do music, we don't care if he wanna do other stuff...rap til he 60
    What in thee ? .

    College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, MBDTF, 808s

    Sit down somewhere big homie

    808's was pretty disappointing & as much as I like the other albums you mentioned Yeezus & TLOP don't help the best discography argument.
