Kanye's New Album Yeezus Leaked

Kanye may just be the best hip-hop producer of all time. His music is not crappy. He may be a total prick and completely unlikeable, but his music isn't bad.

Of course that's subject to opinion, but I think some music should be universally respected, even if it's not for you.

How old are you? If you think Kanye is the best in any category, I strongly urge you to listen to some older hip hop. He isn't even close to being the top anything in the industry. I liked his early stuff but let's not get carried away.

Yeah totally unlikeable douche but MBDTF is an awesome and cohesive album.  Not many in hip-hop can do that nowadays.  

 

Not a fan of the new one from what I've heard though.  I agree it's disappointing. 

 

It's not impossible to enjoy some of the new stuff meanwhile with the EPMDs, Black Stars, and Das FXs of the world.  People rip on Kanye just to rip on Kanye, because it's easy and he's a douchebag

rap's just about run its course. there's still some good stuff coming out, but unless you spend hours of free time trawling through all the crap coming out to find the good stuff you're not finding it, and it's just gotten way too mainstream and homogeneous at this point

that's why you become friends with people who are hip hop/rap connoisseurs. I found out about Kendrick when section 80 came out from a friend. then i just looked up people in his tde group and it just goes from there. also people they have featured on their albums. look them up. they're usually pretty good.

I don't think age denotes anything. I have listened to both old hip-hop and new hip-hop pretty extensively. I like Nas, Eric B & Rakim, Wu Tang, Pac, NWA, The Fugees, etc etc, but I prefer newer hip-hop. I find it a lot more creative and genre bending, which is the kind of stuff I like. I can appreciate and vibe to the classics, but I just really get into the newer stuff easier.

 

With that said, I think it's impossible to deny that Kanye is an incredible producer. I'm only an avid fan of Kanye the rapper, but he throws together some ridiculous production both into his albums and stuff he does for other people. Again, maybe it's my preference of alternative hip-hop aspects coming into play, but I don't see how you can take away from what he does as a producer.

Exactly, MBDTF is quite possibly the most cohesive and well produced hip-hop album of at least the past century.

 

Can you find any better album in that aspect? There may be more cohesive albums (Good Kid M.A.A.D City comes to mind), but I can't think of any better produced.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
