I did read it b it just doesn't apply to what I thought the thread was about been tryna let this go for a minute but again carry on

Which is why he opens the door for more people to look down on rap

imagine putting that all on Kanye

let’s be real

you’re just mad he gets the attention that he does

Gatekeeping is corny and lame.

More fans of hip hop means more money for the artists which means more people making hip hop which means more opportunities for great music to be made which is turn gives back to the fans and creates an endless loop where everyone wins.

Stop crying.

Had to keep it real

reread op’s post and sound it out anime avi, do it very slowly

niggas trying to strawman a good argument

Tl;dr

@OP just change the title to from ye to critics or something because people gonna think you attacking ye and miss the whole point of the thread and start posting bullshit

White people gatekeep hip hop more than niggas do runs away

I love Kanye but his aspirations were always stadium-level, citing U2 as a main influence, I can definitely see the case for his music being deliberately structured for mass appeal beyond a Hip-Hop audience

Surprised no one's talked about Kanye's tweet targetting Rolling Stone, p4k etc

Niggas seen Kanye and the word negative and decided to show they ass in the thread before reading the post

This too ye aware that’s why it isn’t his fault fr

Disagree with that man 90% of the time but he's so charismatic, makes 10-minute unedited front facing camera vids watchable

He seems to me like one of those people who has such strict criteria about what they think is good that they don't really enjoy very much stuff, if you ask me every album you don't enjoy is an L, it's good to try and find something to enjoy in everything you listen to

Straw man fallacy

idk op but the appearance of kim with a wedding dress at the end of LP2 was corny af
