Not really trash, also not really a "rapper", more a hip-hop / dance-pop artist. Sorry to any fans but Kanye is an abysmal rapper. I enjoy some of his music, but he's just not what I would call a rapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Lol...just heard someone on TV say he speaks to white suburban kids. What year does he think it is? Some kids I know don't even know who he is Anyway I'm excited. Don't care what he thinks about anything but he's still the best to ever do it IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrILL! Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hopefully he works with more outside producers on this one. His beats have been tired for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work after The Eminem Show has largely dipped into and stayed in mediocrity. I'll give his new album a listen like I did his recent work, but I have low expectations. This. Rap has fallen so far, though, that some people still think his newer work is good. And....politics aside....his Trump rap was embarrassingly bad. Seems like a sell out move for him to virtue signal like the rest of the buffoons in Hollywood. Just seems like an attempt for him to hold onto what little relevance he has left.

Mossburg Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 ^I think we're lucky to have an ULTRA mainstream guy like him with such lyrical talent, that even the super underground hip hop heads have to tip their cap once in a while. The vast majority of people who reach that kind of status are usually bland. But yea, that is basically a publicity stunt feasting on some real low hanging fruit.

I sort of agree but shouldn't we be picking the low hanging fruit? Especially when said fruit is so perfectly ripe and juicy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossburg Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Though IMO what that does is nothing different than what the person he's crapping on does. He fires up his base and creates a wider rift between the other side who will dismiss him as an ignorant Hollywood clown. I dunno what actually should be done, but I see it no different than the things he's complaining about, except he's also doing it for direct personal profit. I got nothing to back this up, but I think that's what happens if you read the reactions from both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Eminem used to be quite different back in the day. He didn't want to be affiliated with anything mainstream and would usually diss everything and anything. Unfortunately, he got a taste of being "mainstream" and now he's just as fake as the rest of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossburg Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 ^That was just his shtick used at the time. He dropped it and uses a different one now. No different than a pro wrestler changing up his act. I don't think he was ever "real". Just an artist who evolves overtime based on various factors.
