    ((((((((((((())))))))))))))))

    1…say what you want bout kanye but if he died tonight (no pac) all of his albums would be instantly labeled classics and he would be called 3 kinds of genius for his revealing lyrics and blah blah blah

    2…um ….true.

29. BKScribe Says:
    March 7th, 2008 at 12:01 am

    honestly.. i think kanye more lyrical than given credit for..

    i jus hate when people quote the ‘mayonnaise colored benz miracle whip’ line like thas the pinnacle of his lyricism

    @ BK
    I agree that shit was standard

    yo that my lil brother shit… detroit cat livin in the south (florida)
    he does the tracks, rappin and singin
    what you think of it

33. Wavy Shprocketts Says:
    March 7th, 2008 at 12:12 am

    people who say ye isn’t lyrical need to swallow cyanide

    and frankly most of his lines are going over people’s monkey heads anyway

    when he says: “before he spoke / his suit bespoke” — that’s fucking ill.

    when he says “the Goyard so hard man I’m Hugo’s Boss / why I gotta ax what that two-door cost / house in hills, two doors from Tracey Ross” — that’s fucking ill.

    i could go on. i don’t think he’s as nice as lupe on the straight lyrical tip but look — kanye openly admits it — he dumbed down the lyrics on this album because he was doing stadium joints. little brother can do “house of blues” joints because even though they’re nice as fuck, they’re not doing venues bigger than little bars and shit. ye is rocking NBA stadiums, give me a break, the dude is massive.

    he could afford the best ghost-writing but why? he cracked the code which is that if you rap from the heart the fans will fall in love with you (no homo.) he won.

    people need to admit to themselves that finally there’s a pop artist who’s the biggest AND the best. be happy for the motherfucker! he’s making good music.

35. Boosie Says:

    This is like his worst song on this album, why would he do a video for this?

36. L.P.CROOKS Says:
    March 7th, 2008 at 12:20 am

    @ wavy yea kanye rappin from the heart(see the real meanin of keepin itreal) is the key

    @bk yeah give my dude a listen i dont even think thats his dopest shit on there but he gone change it up tho… maybe im bias but I think his shit is dope

37. BKScribe Says:
    March 7th, 2008 at 12:22 am

    that bio shit was decent.. keep me updated.. it’s interesting to listen to new artists..

    the shit is tho.. nowadays more than ever there is a more distinct line drawn in the sand between doin it for the art… and for the money

38. L.P.CROOKS Says:
    March 7th, 2008 at 12:23 am

    The only thing bout kanye that fuck wit me tho(nah) is his message
    he basically be sayin fuck school just get money look at me I did it
    that shit is the worse thing to tell kids

    ninjer that’s like saying a mcdonald’s hamburger is better than filet mignon

    on the real though:

    aged, smoked texas brisket > air and water

    one of my housemates [||] senior year of college was from texas, his parents would bring some brisket up each semester that they smoked in a pit in their own backyard (any entree that requires you to dig a ditch in your backyard to make it is going to be piff). shit made me forget steak, wings, pizza and all the other chicago cuisine because it was the absolute truth

    I thought everyone of Kanye’s albums were perfect after hearing it that first time…I haven’t changed my position since on any of them. I could relate to a lot of his idiosyncrasies…Chicago and Cleveland aren’t that different I s’pose. Midwest Up.

    I would play along 456…but your camel meter is undetectable to any means known to man. Jay-z takes no L’s in any of your arguments so by me even putting up a staunch defense for Ye’ and counter pointing your every point would only make you better in latter arguments in defense of Hov.

    With all that said I’ll abstain and resort to something tried and true.

    Kanye last three albums > Shawn last three albums.

    ^You’ve rendered any debate meaningless by going too wide. To actually cover that ground would require far more time and space than this format allows. I commend you on the use of strategy, but let me also note: it is the tactic of a weaker, less equipped opponent. So in reality, you conceded. And would like to try another argument.

    *lays 911′s exposed and cornered king on its side.*

    For the record:

    AG>Late Registration>Black Album>Graduation>Kingdom Come>College Dropout. I would argue that Jay wins on points and the fact that Kanye has not ever matched up to him lyrically. Kanye still basically lives in the Camel’s shadow, as he has admitted on more than one occassion.
