Music Kanye West

[Wibble]

I'm actually bored of criticising him now, as it's too much of an open goal: can't sing well, can't rap well, best work is in the past, rapidly losing his allegedly decent lyrical ability, increasingly outdated, uses autotune, best parts of his songs are often samples of other people's excellent work, the triumph of publicity over talent etc etc; it's like a list of Rooney's current failings - all "can'ts" and "used to's".

Plus he's an utter cnut. Such a cnut that he once made me feel sorry for Taylor Swift of all people.

 

[Stobzilla]

Kanye has said some awful stuff but, how could you not like him saying that? "My greatest pain in life is that I'll never be able to see myself perform live" is just a brilliant quote.

It would sound a shite side better if it was coming from someone who put on good live shows. Instead it just looks deluded.

Paper says he don't wanna argue,
But I says that I wanna argue,
Can't fit this bit together,
Think I've lost a screw.

I'm sick of these suckas galling me gay,
Nobodies running mouths all holla at SteveJ!
Punk needs to stick to bitching on poor wayne,
So I can drink those tears everytime a goal causes that pain!

This bitch she be cruising like low 20s,
This dick he be signing like Marlee Matlin,
Checklist battlin'? Nothing happenin',
Sick of all these pussies tryna make it,
But the game is rigged, I distract them by askin',
I'm doing my hardest to stop them passin',
Talking bout current events,
Like Nigel Farage talking bout Brexit,
At the next roundabout take the second exit.

There is nothing brilliant about that. Other than how brilliantly it shows how much of a bell end he is.

 

[sullydnl]

Agree with a lot of that review.

Just came here to read what the rumored meltdown was all about. He is either completely off his rocker or doped up to the eyes.

Spoilered for size, but apparently he posted this tweet with phrasing suggestions, before deleting it quickly. Nothing is real when it comes to these celebrities.

Van Gaal says he's laying foundations
But I'm playing on my Playstation *note to self: dope rhyme - keep this in*
And all across the nations
There's a lot of railway stations
There's one for every...occation

Like Timmy Mallet, I'm down with the kids
With my bare nipples I built the Pyramids
And other big things too
And also Stonehenge

I like expensive clothes, Gucci
Polyester gives me hives, ouchi

I carry loads of cash, plenty
I claim to be a God, Deity
In fact I'm just a cnut, gapy

[Snowjoe]

I've listened to it 3 times now. I find I really enjoy it if I zone out from all the lyrics

 

[Rado_N]

That'd be a good advert strapline - Kanye West; best enjoyed when not really listening.

 

[sullydnl]

That line about someone stealing a sandwich from his fridge is genuinely more ridiculous than any of the mock lyrics posted in this thread.

 

[Mockney]

I'm listening through now. It's genuinely quite a boring album. Apparently pushing the boundaries of rap equates to regressing it back to the early 00s autotune RnB era.

Some of it's alright, if unspectacular (Ultralight Beam is decent, but a bit monotonous) but some of it is absolute drek (Wolves, or anything with autotune on it.) Bizarrely I think my favourite thing on it is the "I Love Kanye" skit.

 

[Sied]

Pitchfork gave him 9/10 ffs.

This context makes that 30/10 tweet so much funnier

 

[sullydnl]

It's a mess. Stupid lyrics, too many tracks and released in a very annoying way. Stylistically it's like a collage of things he's done before, which would be fine if the tracks were up to that standard. Instead a lot of them end up sounding like B-sides from better albums. I can imagine some people enjoying it for its messiness as some very good albums work that way. I just find it pretty irritating in this case.

Other than that it's fine though. A strong ten track album buried under a lot of mediocre nonsense.
