KAN YAY OR KAN NAY? (The Kanye West Thread)

[catalog]

Version aka the archivist

not really into it, reminds me of the parts of Pablo that i felt were really rushed and all obsessed with stupid tabloid celebrity bullshit, his flow sounds clunky and the beat is whatever a shame cause i like Pierre B'ourne

 

[forclosure]

he's trying to do the Juvenile "Ha" flow but without any of the energy or sarcasm that Juve had, the #metoo support for russel simmons don't sit too well for me but not surprising

just feels really shallow

 

[catalog]

I think I know what you mean. That's first time I heard that flow at such an exposed level but I get it if it's a bit played out for you

 

[forclosure]

i mean from kendrick to billy woods there were a bunch of rappers in the last decade who incorporated that flow into a couple bars or two but just hearing it here i'm like "whatever"

 

[catalog]

Yeah I mean I'm not massively up on contemporary rappers in general I must admit. But hearing thug next to Dean has helped me

 

[forclosure]

i'm not versed in Dean's music but i think he's a interesting guy though i knew of hype williams and that but never listened to em so it's the opposite for me

 

[forclosure]

so are you saying this might be your step into chekcing out "contemporary rappers" or am i misinterpreting?

also you must've heard Ha? cause that track was huge when it came out

 

[luka]

i thought you and tea did

Tea?!!!

Well sort of, yes. I've been unable to get into contemporary rap much (as luka constantly points out) and the lens of Dean blunt (who I'm obsessed with to an admittedly unhealthy degree) has helped, by simple dint of placing one Dean song, one thug song, one Dean song and so on. They seem to illuminate one another. And I want to listen to and love new music

 

[catalog]

I don't know this ha track you are on about but maybe I have heard it I don't know

[version]

Tea?!!!

Tea told me Culture was the best album he'd heard since Phil Collins released No Jacket Required.

 

[version]

I've never heard Ha either tbh.

 

[luka]

I've never heard Ha either tbh.

you;re very young though. came out around 2000 when you were about 5

 

[luka]

maybe 99

 

[catalog]

I will listen but I can't rite now, watching mad men

 

[luka]

its a classic

 

[version]

This is a silly question, but have you ever liked a Kanye tune?
