okay, yeah, that was pretty good

I raise you Action Bronson for some of the best rap songs of the year. And videos. And instrumentals. I don't know what it is about him and Mr.Wonderful as a whole wasn't even that good of an album (it plays more like another mixtape), but that guy has something

The fuck was that Kayne bullshit doing in my fuzz forums?

I absolutely love TPAB. It is my favorite album of last year for sure. I am one who loves his voice and delivery.

I grew up in fucking Wisconsin, so I obviously don't understand the struggles of gang violence, etc. BUT I think that is part of the magic of this music. He somehow relates his struggles in story form to an audience that wouldn't otherwise hear it.

And that bass...

so kanye made a song about his own shoes?

R.I.P. Nike. They'd still be alive today if they gave Kanye that deal.

Actually, Kanye knows his way around fuzz? In a big way?

West ends the song with a three-minute unintelligble outro containing a distorted West utilizing a vocoder. It begins with West mumbling something that sounds like "I'ma be honest.." before the vocal effects drowns out what is audible in his words, to the point where what he is saying is impossible to understand. Allmusic editor Andy Kellman commented that "when West blows into a device and comes out sounding something like a muffled, bristly version of Robert Fripp's guitar."

Another explanation of the ending of the song is a commentary on how West, a rapper, has attempted to rap throughout his career but has been unable to do so because of the media. The media has drowned out his words with noise, like the ending of the song where what he's attempting to say is unhearable. Another interpretation was proposed by Chicago Sun-Times writer Thomas Conner, who wrote "the last four minutes find him humming and singing, but his voice is Auto-Tuned and distorted beyond perceptibility. What's he saying or singing? Can't really make it out, can't really understand him. Which, no doubt, is how he feels his clumsy public statements are often received."

Let me rephrase that.

The fuck was that Kanye shit doing in my Kendrick thread?

[D.o.S.]

I had a sad and needed to share.

[DarkAxel]

Okay, re-listening again. I think his rapping might be sort of an acquired taste... or maybe I'm starting to like the songs so much that his rapping is now just a part that has always been there and is just one part of this collage of stuff

I like it as just a part
