I don't really like Kanye's style.

Through the wire and overnight celebrity was hot. But other than that I'm not a fan.

Dude is too cocky for his own good.

Cuz he's as bad a writer as he is a rhymer and producer?

Who would write an article about Dre and then talk as much about themselves as they did Dre?

Leggo my Ego.

my friend it something my mum calls, 'agenda benders' people who find ways of always bring the attention to them selves. no matter what the topic they want to bring them selves into it.

thats probably why hes so big, cause hes good at selling himself.

I read the article in scratch where it mentions where he wanted to get paid to be in scratch. (i didnt read the whole article) but anyways, just goes to show you how he thinks.

I mean, some of us would probably agree that it would be nice to get paid for your picture, but hes a producer, not a model. It would be one thing if it was like GQ, or something, but its a producers magazine........

What I'm really curious to know is who's the woman and who's the man in the Kanye West/John Legend relationship. My money is on John bein the broad, he walks kinda funny.

I nominate elmacaco for President of the Kanye Hater Club...





but for real when alot of you all start with the Kanye rants (His beats are simple, he's too cocky, blah blah blah) it gets boring....quickly

I'll bet if you seen him at a studio in passing you wouldn't be so quick to hate.

do me a favor flush the hatorade!!!!!!!!

I'm not saying he's that great (in fact at best I'd call him a good producer/mc), but in today's watered down music market its refreshing to see someone dropping songs that relate to the audience and not all that $$$ hoes rims cars hood gangsta music.



my 0.02.......

There is a BIG difference between hatin and having an OPINION.

Just cuz someone doesn't like someone's attitude or music doesn't necessarily mean they hatin.

I'm not hatin at all. I'm just givin my double copperz-

There are certain songs of his that I do like. But overall I'm not a fan.

Hey man, you might lower your standards because of the watered down market, but I don't.

If people want to be on a producers dick no matter what garbage he puts out, and I don't that makes me a hater?

I tried to like this last track, I broke it down technically, I got nothing personall against this dude, but I'm not gonna sweat anything he does unless he does it well. I wasn't feeling his album, or jesus walks, or any of that shyt, but I did like the track he did for dilated. His flow is BS to me.

So it makes it borring, are we here to entertain you? No, we are here to learn. Nothing more borring to me than. "wow, great track" Anyone want to say WHY???? This is a producers forum, so if you like it, break down why you like it and show somebody some substance behind your statements. it takes no creativity to call someone a hater, but if you can't dispute the points someone raises then you got nothing and should STFU.

I broke it down with the diamonds track, could have been great, but it wasn't, had one great part, but the rest was weaker than the loop itself. I was trying to like it, but there were points I didn't like. So Sorry for trying to be intelligent about this, and pointing out that in an article about dre he talks as much about himself, thats clearly seen in the article if you use your fuuckin brain, but no one here wants to use their fuuckin noggin, they just want to blend the fuuck in, and just do as has been done before and act like all criticism is jealousy, which is not how it is.

Man, you guys act like Kanye is doing you favors, and you're fuucking up a community that actually does do you favors because critical thinking is just beyond your freakin capacity. Yo said yourself that at best you'd call him good, somehow I'm a hater cuz I'm a thinker?

Don't mention my name dude, if you have a problem with my points, display them, but calling me a hater does nothing to address my points, if they are based purely on hate, prove it jaem, yeah, how am I so debased by my hatered. I don't hate Kanye, I hate ignorance, and all this hator bullSHYT is just that ignorance.

:roll:

hhhmmm.

I always wondered what people thought about his verse in the dialeted peoples song "i can live my life this way" he says something like, "I dont know what i like better getting paid or getting laid, but all i know is when im doing one the others getting away" .... "im pulling ladies off the bench like a six man..........blah blah", doesnt seem like anything new to me! and thats one of the only track of his that i can honestly say i really like-im not hatin.

I like the beat for the flute loop, and that he didn't mess it up with tinkly shyt on top for no reason. Never liked him as a rhymer. never says anything really deep, like it's all an act, or he's reading something someone else wrote, or he's always talking about himself. Sure lots of rappers do that, but I don't think much of them either.

I'm really starting to get pissed at how prevailant a culture of ignorance is being pushed on hip hop. All these diamonds killing africans and rappers spending so much cash on the crushed dust that is the cheapest kind of diamond to be incrusted on watches and chains like it's some pride thing. their selling repackaged sawdust stained with the blood of missing limbs and fingers.

you guys are gonna be so upset with his second album, I got the advance, its not hot at all. oh well.

elmacaco i totally agree with every word u wrote, its not hating.
however 50cent said something real on hot97 when he was airing his dissappointment about Game, "Everyones a critic...."
