Never felt more contempt for idiots chasing their 15 minutes than I have for these fools.
Curren$y & Dame Dash era was the s***. We had Mos Def, Ski Beatz, Jay Electronica, Black Keys, Lady Wray etc. etc.
They had content & music.
Definitely had the grandiosity and set up to leave a legendary impression, but Eminem’s Tim Westwood freestyle is style the greatest ever, imo. Has not been surpassed to this day.
cudis s*** was better than that
This is one that I feel will definitely get lost in time but he had a literal chokehold on music during his run
swear if bro dropped jugg with me he wouldve been relevant to this day

!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCIjm7tJJxQher content wasn’t that bad
Wiz Khalifa smoking a blunt and freestyling is one of the earliest moments I remember of YouTube and rap colliding may be his most iconic video imo
lex luger producing on video is legendary as well
Dilla has a beat tape inspired by Ye
53:26
!https://youtu.be/wb3deUEBn94Dilla was at the Selfish video shoot and was choppin it up with his people. At one point niggas were playing around and said Ye is killing him on the beats so he made a beat tape strictly chopping soul samples
Literally bruh in the interview said that Dilla was only fw soul for that tape to show that Ye wasn’t killing him lmao
Included this beat
!https://youtu.be/HH76OJ3zOOcIf you listen to Donuts you hear Dilla still flipping the soul sounds so you can say Ye partially inspired Donuts. That added a different layer to the project for me. I remember seeing an interview where Madlib mentioned that Dilla was flipping the soul samples bc it was popular at the time but he was giving game since a lot of producers were just looping. He was taking that sound and flipping it on its head fr. Donuts was a masterclass
Fast forward to 07 and Dilla was the inspiration behind some of the production on Finding Forever
!https://youtu.be/zDH_qcDyW24Always thought this was a cool example of how music connects people
this is rare asf damn
How revolutionary this song was. For better or worse this changed not only hip hop but music as a whole. It was crazy to see it evolve in real time
Right. He had one of the best come ups in Hip Hop ever. It was down to earth and authentic. I been on Cudi before he became the “Moon Man” :
He was almost on some backpack/boom bap rap s*** before the hipster s***
Drake x Cudi x Kendrick x Keef
some of the best hip hop come ups of our gen
When Wayne came out to perform Miss Me with Drake at the New Years 106&Park. And if I’m not mistaken Wayne had just got out of prison
