He's also sampled Wiley tho so it's not all bad

Wasn't Who Gon Stop Me mostly someone else anyway? The production on that track is high quality tho, people just don't like the style

People didn’t start s***ting on Gold Digger until Kanye himself did. I’d pay it no mind.

And the context was that he preferred how he sampled Curtis Mayfield on Otis as opposed to Gold digger and that he didn’t “really” wanna do the Gold digger record but knew it would get him paid.

I hated gold digger so much when it first came out

Haterrrrr

We not counting leaks from f***ing theeefs

I can see how it can annoy you, it definitely is one of his lower tier ones but isn't bad imo

Honestly this is very close, best reply itt for me but the beat on Snake-Zs part redeems it

Michael jackson billie jean remix

The only correct answer

Almost everything on JIK.

The beat for Ye vs The People. That s*** is straight up s***.

The beat is the best part

Username to trash post ratio is very very high

Kanye says all kind of stuff tho. I don't let his interviews effect my opinions too much.
A lot of the biggest artists and their hardcore fans always hate their biggest hits. But often I feel like this is because that artist is known or loved by some people for that song alone and that annoys the artist or the fans so they start proving their 'real fans' by s***ting on that song. I'm sure some people genuinely don't like Gold Digger, but so often in every genre you get this from artists and their stans when talking about their biggest hit.
But to create a song that is that iconic, universally popular and still interesting, credible, exciting or refreshing takes a lot of skill, so people should be praising Kanye for being able to do that imo.
Also they do realize you don't get rockstar Kanye without tracks like Gold Digger, it's such a part of his career-something he acknowledges in that Zane interview as you say about it 'getting him paid'. And taking the blues and making it relevant to a new generation plays into the classic rockstar persona he played with later on his career much more than anything on Yeezus. What he does songwriting wise on Gold Digger feels in the lineage of legends like Rolling Stones, Ray Charles, Prince, Little Richard, Amy Winehouse, Outkast etc. etc.

Tbh, Ye vs the People chop didn't seem so bad but the vocals were too distracting to focus on anything that might be good in the track

Lift Yourself beat is legitimately bad

like the sample is good but once the actual beat comes in it reminds me of that RZA guitar center video

ye vs the people is an atrocious song but the beat is actually kinda hard

Nope Kanye is the greatest producer of all time

can I mute this guy in my thread?

you're legitimately in the 1% that thinks the Ift yourself beat is trash

Ask this question on June 2013, and half the people would’ve said On Sight 🤣🤣

Beat legit sounds like a joke lmao

Pew pew pew
