Maybe I should have specified. “Trap” as in what the general listeners would consider trap nowadays. It was the birth of SoundCloud rap becoming mainstream and every older rapper slowly but surely started switching to more modern beats etc etc

No disrespect to people like Jeezy, T.I and all them

Nah. Let's not rewrite history.

Ye was an okay album that got eclipsed by KSG and Daytona that same year.

It had its highlights but it was still okay at best for Ye standards.

Love Everyone would've been better though.

I see no one outside of Ye stans talking about that album

MAKE NO MISTAKE GIRL STILL LOVE U

Nah I know what you meant but I’m not even talking about TI and Jeezy.

I’m saying that a lot of the modern trap sounds we hear today were influenced by Lex Lugers production in 2010/2011

I think he’s saying that the backlash to Ye wouldn’t have been as severe as it was at the time not that Ye is a classic

Fallin', dreamin', talkin' in your sleep
I know you want to cry all night, all night
Plottin', schemin', findin'
Reason to defend all of your violent nights

This now a YE APPRECIATION THREAD

Oh true. I feel that.

That TMZ s*** and the White House visit overshadowed a lot lol.

4 songs from that album went viral on TikTok

3 songs on there still get around 500k streams daily (All Mine, Ghost Town and Violent Crimes)

Not everything is about ye stans. Ye stans also s*** on Graduation and that album is getting 5 million streams every single day rn and is also charting lol. The general population definitely f*** with "ye"

obviously a classic

Ye is fire front to back idgaf what anyone says

Y’all gotta understand that people can like certain songs from an album but that doesn’t mean they like the entire album. I barely see people talk about the record as a whole.

What 4 songs went viral on TikTok?

They should retire for the sake of their own discography and legacy but it wouldn’t have no impact on the rest of hip hop music lol

They don’t remember lol

Bigghostfase would have had a legendary write up. The YouTube rap critic “this Nigga sucks” videos and comments would have been amazing

spiritual healing music

5 songs have over 100 million streams, the other 2 are close to 100 million on Spotify (ITAKY 99 million, No Mistakes 97 million streams rn)

The album is definitely loved lol it's just Ye stans hating on it

one of his most personal projects tbh

Big Ghost lmaoooo that nigga used to s*** on the Big 3 outside of K Dot i could only imagine what that blog would look like today

you get it

Lmao same I can fw a good goofy punchline too but they be talking like dude is Jadakiss in his prime for the way niggas cooled Big Sean off lol

Music exists outside of Tiktok and social media talks lol

Edit: my bad the other guy brought that up

I don’t even like Sean like that but niggas owe him an apology for all the smoke that he caught knowing what they let slide today

Here's a theory- The reason why hip hop is dying is because everyone bet on the backpackers as the future of hip hop. Prior to that, there's a reason why the street and gangsta mc's were on top for a long time. They had that hunger to keep wanting to release music. Once the torch was passed to the more "conscious" type of mc, things got a bit sour imo.

@edumist

I think the reason is we pretty much lost a whole generation to violence, d**** or prison
