The Off the Grid beat switch is peak-level Kanye maximalism

I mean you're right its not top tier Cudi or Ye, but its 2 artists who are clearly past their prime linking up and putting out an amazing project. Its not the 2nd coming of Jesus but with all things considered its a damn good project that'll age better than whatever both of them have dropped within the last few years.

I wonder how you feel about 90s rap then

Y'all gonna hate this take too, but street rap kinda ruined hip hop for me. When actually murders and psychopaths rose to the top it lost me

There was good s*** then but it hasn't held up long term imo.

Astroworld engineering is horrible, DAMN. is pretty boring, Kanye solo stuff was wack, Black Kray does Carti better than Carti, Griselda good but I'm reaching for Nas/Jay/Wu Tang/Biggie if I'm in that kind of mood more often than not, Tyler and Brockhampton type s*** isn't my thing but it's objectively good, Uzi is ok but nothing special, post-2015 Future and Drake are definitely not for me, DaBaby makes the same song over and over, Migos peaked 4 years ago, etc

Relevance maybe, but it was brought back not via music but rather via marketing and aesthetic antics (and it's not like Kanye has ever lost his relevance altogether to begin with)

Musical ability? Hell no, he dropped a bloated mess of an album with like 3-4 actually great songs, everything else ranges from subpar (Kanye music wise) to mid to trash, production is subpar for Kanye, bars and flows are still inconsistent throughout, etc etc

It was different back then.
Now we see rappers being directly connected to murders and genocidal acts ie lil Durk, king von, tay k, Pooh Shiesty, Melly.

Niggas making viral songs about smoking dead opps

The 90's wasn't like that at all

Hurricane, Believe What I Say, and Off the Grid are in the top 20 all time Kanye tracks discussion

It's just more in your face nowadays because of social media but if you fr think that rappers in 90s weren't connected to murderers and other grimy acts like that, that most likely is just wrong

I mean yea niggas was in streets but had the decency to not put it on records.

Also those rappers back then had creative integrity. Cinematic inclinations.

These niggas rap in IG captions and confess actual crimes.
