i cant believe just blaze used the vocoder. he just loss my respect.

^^^^^

If Just Blaze can lose your respect for using a vocoder (if thats even him, I swear T-Pain was meant to be on Sai’s LP - maybe I’m wrong), then you didnt really respect him in the first place…

I dont see whats wrong with using a vocoder anyway…If it benefits the track, why not?

^^^^

Yeah, but our “street-wear” is called “High-End Fashion” out there…

Word to us rocking Evisu Denim suits when you lot was on the “throwback” movement in 2001…

I bet in 5 years time your gonna hear US rappers talking about Etienne Ozeki garms…I bet you…

you know you set the trends when years after you abandon some shit, people are still swangin on your old shit haha

^^^^^

Word to London.

streetwear-wise — nope

if i rocked 3/4 length jeans in chicago somebody might shoot me lol

^^^^^

Word to London.

Fuck what Jay was doing. Jay wanted Kanye to just make beats.

But Dame?

The first time I ever heard Kanye was because of Dame…
The first time I heard a Kanye song on the radio was because Dame almost forced Westwood to play the record live on air…
The first time I ever saw Kanye’s face was when Dame had him co-hosting his MTV cribs in LDN…
Nobody wanted Kanye on the Champions song other than Dame…

Bleek never got that treatment. It was more than just a “cosign”. Dame really believed in Kanye when nobody else did. Shit, Dame convinced me Kanye was ill before I even heard him rap…That never happened with Bleek.

For the space of 12 months, you couldnt see Dame without seeing Kanye. They was together more than Cam & Dame, & thats saying something.

Dame introduced Kanye to the world. Maybe you knew who he was because you share the same hometown, but we sure didn’t.

Obviously Kanye’s got talent (as more than a producer). But I wouldnt know if it wasnt for Dame. Real Talk.

if kanye could do it anyone can do it but not everybody has that grind

^^^^^

It was only Dame gassing up Kanye’s debut

^

dame just helped him ink the deal, kanye put up $5k of his own money to make the “thru the wire” video with scrapped together footage and minimal effects, and the shit was a classic

kanye is a self-made dude in almost all respects

anyone who thinks the “jay co-sign” or the “dame co-sign” put him where he’s at should look at:

bleek
peedi
oschino
sparks
amil
sauce money
jaz-o
etc.
etc.
etc.

and ask…what the FUCK happened to those cats LOL

yes kanye and lupe got the “camel co-sig” but them dudes had enuf talent to where even jay was on some “if you can’t beat em join em” type ish and helped them along because he knew they were going to be stars in their own right

as an aside, chi-town taught yall rap nahggers how to grind, now everyone wants to wear the hipstear gear but the funny thing is kanye and lupe aren’t even on that hipster shit any more LOL

you know you set the trends when years after you abandon some shit, people are still swangin on your old shit haha

^^^^^

Difference is, no-one expected Kanye to actually be nice…Not even Jay. It was only Dame gassing up Kanye’s debut…Everyone else just thought it was gonna be an album with ill beats & wack rhymes.

His expectations were kinda low, & he just blew them outta the water with College Dropout.

Having no expectations >>> Having World-Changing expectations.

real mickey flickey spit these cats could be my dad

sai = ethered by his own hype

that’s the one downside of blogs

too many cats get self-ethered that way, it’s a sad thing, shits disgustin

but also you have to blame these cats for not living up to the hype that’s been created

if kanye could do it anyone can do it but not everybody has that grind

Sooner than you think, family tree…

You lot will be the first to know…

I’m just waiting on some artwork then they’re dropping every month, on time…But some graphic designers take long…

Anyone on Nah do graphic designing?

I mean, really?

Siagon?

He’s like the Detox of rappers - He’s never coming out!

At what point do we agree he’s just hopefully lost and will never drop?
