I'm wrong yet I showed a video of what Kanye himself said. Lol okay fam. Quarantine got ya'll boys losing it. Yikes

Not refuting my points cause he cant

Ye even dropped a mixtape of extra songs and verses in 2007 is the funny thing

If Ye retired from rap right now I wouldn't be mad. He would be leaving with 5 classic records, two pretty good ones (TLOP and KSG), a mid one (Ye) and a strange ass gospel album. Legendary run.
He could just drop a beat here and there, he still got it

So he’s no longer expected to make good music?

Hard to do in the “now” climate

2 years is 5 now

By the time your 2 year old s*** come out it’s gonna already sound dated

He makes good music. The quality of music that OP was referring to is instant classic, god level, “I took two years perfecting one song” level music. That can only be achieved if your main focus is the music, but his main focus isn’t just music anymore, it’s divided across running a brand and raising his kids

it's interesting tbh.

he'll never go back to this mindset because he doesn't rely on music for income anymore.

however, to Kanye, that's a win and if anything he's more proud of the music he's made recently vs anything in the past bc he's more 'free' to do whatever he wants.

whereas in the past you always saw him take shots at mbdtf and gold digger for being commercial and appeasing to people, he clearly values freedom of expression over everything.

however to the mass it'll be less quality in music.

nobody buying that nigga clothes

Shoes that look like socks are flyin off shelves and he’s throwin a different color on em...

He made classics while interning for major fashion labels and designing for Nike

Stop it

I’m sure we both can agree that interning for LV and Nike would warrant a much smaller workload compared to owning your own brand, designing clothes that no one is buying and shoes that look like socks for that brand. Paired with raising children, purchasing a ranch in Wyoming with hopes of turning it into a small town, and touring with the Sunday Service Choir all year. C’mon bro he’s wearing WAY more hats than he did back then idk why u acting like he’s not

He’s less involved with his other artists

Albums

He’s always toured crazy and put mad effort into other s***

And he’s always been able to lock in to album mode regardless..

He doesn’t do it because he not as interested in being the best not because he doesn’t have time

He’s come to despise being a “rapper” because it holds him back from pursuing other passions

He’s simply put rap on the back burner because he’s become more successful in he is other ventures

And doesn’t have to put so much emphasis on quality with it anymore.

Same way he put less effort into making beats himself when rapping took off for hm...

If his heart was still in rhymin and makin classic albums, he’d be doin just that

Nigga what

I really feel like MBDTF was a bad thing for his music tbh

Like he felt confortable evr since and that f***s with his music like crazy

How come you can make threads like this about Kanye but if its about Drake its moved

Exactly

Nothing but love for ya fam just done going back and forth. Enjoy the thread tho

Maybe cus it’s made on a site title KanyeToThe?

What you mean? MBDTF was him at his most focused

Yeezus (2013)

He still does the same thing. Only exception was Ye.

Wrong. 2 weeks.

Thread re-closed.

Ur buggin bro.

808s top 5

So Kanye’s track record shows when he puts more time into his projects he has a better outcome VS when he takes a short amount of time. He got lucky with one album (808s) but he clearly isn’t a consistent with that method

He hasn’t made a fire album in a short time span since 2008, so thread staying open.

Yeezus was made in 3weeks to 6 months.(in my Top 3)

Tlop was made in 3 years(in my bottom 3)
