It was the summer of 05 and kanye was on the heels of releasing his goofiest and most boring album to date. He decided to bring his try hard ass to Katt Williams Presents and Stars in Nick Cannon's Wild N Out.

Yeezy was feelin himself until our comedy lord and punchline savior decided to change n charge this lonely nerd's life for his lyrical crimes commited against street comedy's leading man:

(7:45)

After the snoozefest that was LR, Ye decided to direct his genius to where it was meant to be -- the streets. Just cause u a genius don't mean u can tell the streets what to do. The streets kno what they want and it ain't a billion and one samples so them ppl over there can say u one of the smart ones

All that nerd energy became genius energy when he finally fed the streets instead of them safe Love Jones niggas. Samples was replaced with ad-libs and he gave us Cant Tell Me Nothing.

Instead of trying to castigate the culture's move back to the South, he embraced it.

Then, after feeding the streets even further behind Khaled, Jeezy, and autotune, he gave us arguably his greatest gift to music -- 808s & Heartbreak

All because Katt Williams told him to stop being such a artsy dork and get with the times

OP you smoking the same rocks as Katt

The man got beat up by a 14 year old

Sad the joke first reply will overshadow the truth op speaking

Ppl who say LR is bad.

Dont deserve to listen to the rest of kanyes catalog

kanye's boring is most ppl's masterpiece.

What he say to set that lil nigga off tho?

Maybe somn jus as lifechanging

OP might be onto something

damn hollup

No he's not. Calling Late Registration a snoozefest is a banworthy post

yeah i was just tryna spark something but what OP saying hilarious cause soul samples is everything now again & 808s as artsy as it gets kanye just did whatever people thought a rapper shouldnt or couldn’t do

808’s is not no gift.

do not disrespect 808’s i repeat do not disrespect 808’s

Katt just did 10 million views in one day doing the same thing Kanye does, wouldn't be surprised if they link up in the future

Ridiculous way to look at it but I do wonder what led to him wanting to capture “the streets” with Graduation

I’d say it’s his most iconic and defining album because of it. Like if a person who not really a Ye fan thinks of Ye they’ll think of Graduation or it used to seem like that

you tryna outshine op’s dogshit take w this one huh
