The reason Kanye is "our guy" is that deep down he is that bashful, introverted guy like many of us. He overcame that to reach his potential. He knew from the beginning that without his pride he was nothing. It's not far fetched to think any of us would let success get to our head like him " kinda hard to be humble when youre stuntin on a jumbotron" . But he still is "our guy" he's still out here reppin for us.

>I was also pretty taken aback by what “K. West” looked like. The swagger you see in the megastar now was entirely absent. His Enyce tracksuit jacket and baggy pants were about two sizes bigger than anything a rapper would wear, even in 2001. He was sporting an outfit that a fifty-year-old woman in a wardrobe department would put together if a “rapper” was mentioned in your script.
> the gold chains and Jesus piece that would eventually appear around his neck were replaced by the only bling he had at the time: adult braces. I vividly remember saying “This guy looks like Bowfinger” to my manager, who would whisper “Urkel” in my ear over and over.
>He took one look at my vintage rock shirt and ripped jeans and seemed instantly relieved.
>“Aw, man! I would’ve dressed like myself. I do this for rappers,” Kanye explained, pointing to his outfit, which was so baggy it could’ve doubled as a Jesse Pinkman Halloween costume.
>on our second day of recording, he transformed just like he promised. The future icon ditched his Juggalo-esque threads for a Jim Morrison T-shirt and rock-inspired jeans.

>I remember one day while recording, Kanye played an early version of “Jesus Walks,” several years before its release
>As the song played, Kanye acted out and mouthed his lyrics, something he always did while his own music played,
>He acted as if a music video was always being filmed around him, displaying yet another example of the unaware enthusiasm (and egotism) that would make him the butt of almost every joke at Baseline.
>A few seconds passed before the entire room erupted in laughter. A few people even mocked him, mimicking his rap voice and making fun of his over-the-top zeal.
>One major producer in the room even asked his assistant to make sure Kanye never performed like that again.
> people who hear his early demos still agree; he just wasn’t very good. He sounded like a crappy Ma$e and was so breathy that sometimes I couldn’t even understand his punch lines.
> I remember he played me one new track over the phone where he used only movie titles as lyrics. I could understand maybe five of them tops.
>He sounded more excited by what he was saying than any listener would be. So when my manager asked what I thought about adding him to the remix, I laughed.
>We weirdly saw the movie Master and Commander together, which Kanye loved and I fell asleep during.

Why is this board's taste so boring? I can't even imagine listening to the same "approved" over and over again without trying to evolve my taste, not out of completing some vague "patrician" task but simply by wanting to discover something new.
How can /mu/tants lack any sort of curiosity?
>im so cool because i think im better
not many people actually do that, the /mu/core charts are meant to be ways for nrewfags to fit in, since people will assume that you've heard /mu/core

Is "pretentious" a valid criticism or a meaningless buzzword? discuss
>>72607354
>Is "pretentious" a valid criticism
Yes, depending on who or what it is directed at.
Used to be a valid criticism, has now been reduced to a meaningless buzzword for the most part
>>72607354
It's a valid criticism as long as you can back it up.

Shoegaze thread.
First off, check out the new Planning For Burial if you haven't already. Dull Knife is one of the best gaze/post-metal songs I've heard in a while.
Also I've seen other people post their own stuff in these threads too so here goes:
