Top 5 Tracks- Day 42

Today's featured artist is the Chi-Town assclown..........Kanye West!!!

I don't like Kanye West, but there are maybe five songs I somewhat enjoy... lets see...

Spaceship
Two Words
Through the Wire
Power
Gorgeous

Kanye>>>>>>>>>>>>Most of the Wu-castoffs, a lot of them are boring for real.

Mr. West may not be the best lyricist but he's made some of the best post-2000 hip hop easily.

Jesus Walks
Get Em High
Touch The Sky
We Major
Never Let You Down
Flashing Lights

Same here. But I think I'd rather listen to Kanye over a lot of the stuff Slang posts....no offense.

I do like "We Don't Care" quite a bit. All of The College Drop Out is decent I guess. Never really did like any of his other stuff nearly as much.

I can understand why some people may not like Kanye, but boring is hardly a word I'd use to describe his music.

No offense Alan but Slug flow is boring. Eyedea flow is boring. To me thats crazy to say Ye's flow is boring. Lacking lyrically? I can see.

On the real Ye should be praised just out of respect for being one of the very few that even slighty keeps mainstream rap music from being a joke. He keeps it alive.

That's your opinion, Kevin. Quite a few folks think Kanye's music is every bit as ridiculous as the rest of the radio...especially post-College Dropout.

Thats fact Parker. Only a stuborn stupid ass fucking ass mule (to whom that may concern) would think other wise. Ye is waay ahead of the lame pack mainstream wise. He constantly redefines his sound and music and he raps with true passion and insight. Respect due to the man. Whether you like his music or not. Folks need to step out of their little subjective box and look at the bigger fucking picture. Bizzo.

You're calling me a bitch, but you're the one who can't handle a difference of opinion without getting personal. What are you here for, to sit around complimenting each other for agreeing on everything, or to discuss alternate views?

That's twice in a row where you've taken a simple disagreement with me and went straight to name calling.

Aight fellas, if you got a list post it. If not then shut the fuck up.

Lol...my fault Parker L. I was just messing around. I seriously did not mean it with malice. I luv the disagreements. Please carry on my Slaine loving homie.

Big Brother almost made my list too, it's my fav track from Graduation.

Damn, i thought i did list 10. All Falls Down should be on there too.

Jesus Walks, though I prefer an instrumental version.

Other than that, I don't have a list. Kanye can E.A.D.

Slug does have a boring flow. Eyedea did not.

Mainstream rap already is a joke - it certainly doesn't need Kanye's help, even though he continually adds to the wackness. You will never convince me this guy isn't a joke. I barely consider his music hip-hop. Just pop music as far as I'm concerned. Mainstream is dead - accept it.

Indeed. He must have only heard maybe one Eyedea song in his life? Maybe?

Eyedea always sounded like when stand-up comedians make fun of white people voices. I could never get into his stuff because of it. You know how Howard Stern talks about seeing someone do something that makes you feel embarrassed for them? I think he calls the feeling 'douche chills'. I get douche chills when I hear Eyedea.

I think Kevin's just trying to say that he doesn't like Eyedea because he sounds painfuly white on the mic. You'll have to excuse his miswording. He refuses to expand his vocabulary, so sometimes he can only come close to expressing the point he wants to make.

lol

Kanye is doper than a lot of the cats that get bigged up around here. There weren't 5 albums that dropped last year better than MBDTF.

Not for nothin dude, but I heard you say fairly recently that you've never heard MBDTF in it's entirety.

I'm not gonna front and say that I've heard all the ones you just mentioned, but of the ones listed that I have heard, the only ones I like better are Sir Lucious and How I Got Over. Those two and Distant Relatives are my top 3, and then MBDTF.

Diamonds (late orchestration version) one of the best beats ever
Bring me down (Late orchestration version) one of the best beats ever too
Jesus walks (Late orchestration version)
Two words
Through the wire

Late orchestration might be my favorite album from him, musically it sounds so much better than his studio albums. Thanks for the orchestra.

I've never heard MBDTF, and never will. I have no interest in Kanye, because he's NOT doper than a lot of the cats that get bigged up around here. See how opinions work? You keep trying to state yours as fact, when it's not. Maybe there are millions of people that agree with your opinion, but none of them post here, so that's irrelevant.

And here's some albums that dropped last year that I know for a fact I would like better than MBDTF even if I had heard it.

1212
Nineteen Ninety Now
Between Heaven & Hell
Death Is Silent
1982

That's 5 right there, but carrying on...

Kill Devil Hills
Body Of God
World Supremacy
The Final Conflict

Even Kraftwerk, and that's not Snowgoons' best effort, either.

Mofo I do not need your str8 up and down clown ass to speak for me. You guys will have to excuse Parker. This is the only place he can discuss hip hop and practice his advanced vocab because he is able to type his words while googling them and looking in dictionarys. But in a face to face situation his stuttering and lameness hinders him from his verbal onslaught.

I haven't heard much Eyedea I was just taking a cheat shot at Pounds.

But, if you did hear a bunch of Eyedea, you wouldn't like him because of the whiteness... right?

None of them post here??? Well Kev for one agrees with my opinion of Kanye, as does Terry, Powell, Highsmith, and a number of others so you're wrong there....

Secondly, you're the definition of closed minded. Say what you will about me, but unlike you at least I give people an honest listen before passing judgement on them.

How many albums does Kanye have out? I thought MBDTF was his most recent, not his debut. So, because I know that I don't like him, and don't want to waste my time on his newest album makes me closed-minded? So be it. You just like to put words in my mouth (or keyboard), to try and make your point. Keep going then, you're doing a splendid job.

"I'm not gonna front and say that I've heard all the ones you just mentioned, but of the ones listed that I have heard, the only ones I like better are Sir Lucious and How I Got Over. Those two and Distant Relatives are my top 3, and then MBDTF. "

lmao @ douche chills

I don't really follow the reasoning/comparison, but I understand some don't like his voice.

Douche chills is the greatest name for that feeling. I know exactly what you mean, Parker.
