this, though i would add Hold My Liquor and New Slaves

Devil In A New Dress

No further questions.

>>69297154
Only a fool would think that while Kanye is a very talented producer, his lyrics contain nothing of note

Have you ever asked your bitch for other bitches?

Inspired stuff

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a great character study, if you take it as a whole. Reminds me of the "hyper reality" in opera culture.

Oh wait, it's just a thread devoted to spamming meme-worthy hooks and lines. Great job, guys.

Yes, and ?

Penitentiary chances, the devil dances
And eventually answers to the call of Autumn
All of them fallin' for the love of ballin'
Got caught with thirty rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin
Inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums
Based off the way we was branded
Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
And at the airport they check all through my bag and
Tell me that it's random
But we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage
I need a happy ending and a new beginning
And a new fitted and some job opportunities that's lucrative

This the real world, homie, school finished
They done stole your dreams, you dunno' who did it
I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS
I won't be satisfied til all my niggas get it, get it?

I'mmmm
Ah-head of my time, sometimes years out
So the powers that be won't let me get my ideas out
And that make me wanna get my advance out
And move to Oklahoma and just live at my Aunt's house
Yeah, I romance the thought of leavin it all behind
Kanye step away from the lime-
-light, like, when I was on the grind
In the "One, Nine, Nine, Nine"
Before, model chicks was bendin over or
Dealerships asked me Benz or Rover, man
If I could just get one beat on Hova
We could get up off this cheap-ass sofa
What the summer of the Chi got to offer an 18-year-old
Sell drugs or get a job, you gotta play gyro
My dawg worked at Taco Bell, hooked us up plural
Fired a week later the manager count the churros
Sometimes I can't believe it when I look up in the mirrow
How we out in Europe, spendin Euros
They claim you never know what you got 'til it's GONE
I know I got it, I don't know what y'all on
I'ma open up a store for aspiring MC's
Won't sell 'em no dream, but the inspiration is free
But if they ever flip sides like Anakin
You'll sell everything includin the mannequin
They got a new bitch now you Jennifer Aniston
Hold on I'll handle it, don't start panickin, stay calm
Shorty's at the door cause they need more
Inspiration for they life, they souls, and they songs
They said sorry Mr. West is gone!

Dubs and I fuck this model

>>69297567
>I never needed acceptance from all you outsiders
>Had cyphers with Yeezy before his mouth wired

>Whole clique's appetite had tapeworms

turly a modern shakespear

Let me know
Do I still got time to grow
Things ain't always set in stone
That be known let me know
Let me
Seems like, street lights, glowin
Happen to be just like moments, passin
In front of me so I hopped in, the cab and
I paid my fare see I know my destination
But I'm just not there
All the streets, glowin
Happen to be just like moments, passin
In front of me so I hopped in, the cab and
I paid my fare see I know my destination
But I'm just not there
In the streets
In the, streets
I'm just not there in the streets
I'm just not there
Life's just not fair
Seems like, street lights, glowin
Happen to be just like moments, passin
In front of me so I hopped in, the cab and
I paid my fare see I know my destination
But I'm just not there
All the street lights, glowin
Happen to be just like moments, passin
In front of me so I hopped in, the cab and
I paid my fare see I know my destination
But I'm just not there
All the street lights, glowin
Happen to be just like moments, passin
In front of me so I hopped in, the cab and

But I'm just not there
In the streets
In the, streets
I'm just not there in the streets
I'm just not there
Life's just not fair

808s is a great album.

My momma was raised in the era when
Clean water was only served to the fairer skin
Doing clothes you would have thought I had help
But they wasn't satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself
You see it's broke nigga racism
That's that "Don't touch anything in the store"
And this rich nigga racism
That's that "Come in, please buy more

>>69296964
this and his verse on never let me down

Music historians are going to end up scoffing at rap music because of their own biases. Regular pop culture critics will probably be the ones enshrining it.

Golly, more of that bullshit ice rap
I got to apologize to Mos and Kweli (probably)
But is it cool to rap about gold
If I told the world I copped it from Ghana and Mali? (Mali!)
First nigga with a Benz and a backpack
Ice chain, Cardi lens, and a knapsack
Always said if I rapped I'd say something significant
But now I'm rapping about money, hoes, and rims again
And it's still about the Benjamins
Big faced hundreds and whatever other synonyms
Strippers named Cinnamon
More chips than Pentium
What'cha gon' buy next? Whatever new trend is in
I'm tryin' to spend my stacks
And I'm so broke I look back like "Damn, was I on crack?"
I mean twelve platinum chains, was I on that?
What the hell was wrong with me dog?
Sing along with my y'all

considering shakespear's plays were considered to be incredibly low brow entertainment in their time I would say he actually is

One of his most underrated imho:

>I got my Superman power, my Superman cape
>These the last hours, but Superman late
>The clock is ticking, damn, can you wait?
>Man, will he come back and save the day?
>Fly across the earth, put things in reverse
>I wish this life was a movie I could just rehearse
>Certain things I can't doctor, and you say I'm the worst
>I ain't have enough patient, but I needed a nurse
>That'll come by my bed late
>See if my head ache
>Then get my head straight
>Then give my head, great
>Every time I popped up like the VCR
>I took your breath away, then we performed CPR
>With all the cars, the clothes, the lights, the boats
>I guess I was just trying to sow my royal oats
>In the penthouse position
>With penthouse bitches
>See I Pimp'd My crib, so I must exhibit
>Shit, these last years been a haze like Issac
>So I close my eyes
>Tighter than Asian eyes get
>Realized I got the same wings angels fly with
>Louis Vuitton feathers, now that some fly shit

Typically a verse that's not super lyrical by any means but it catches your attention and has his own little gems inside.

400 years later ya buying your own chains was a terrific line

I don't get it, Kanye has written some of the best verses on modern black disenfranchisement yet he's an advocate of Trump?

Some say he arrogant. Can y'all blame him?
It was straight embarrassing how y'all played him
Last year shoppin my demo, I was tryin' to shine
Every motherfucker told me that I couldn't rhyme
Now I could let these dream killers kill my self-esteem
Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams
I use it as my gas, so they say that I'm gassed
But without it I'd be last, so I ought to laugh
So I don't listen to the suits behind the desk no more
You niggas wear suits cause you can't dress no more
You can't say shit to Kanye West no more
I rocked 20,000 people, I was just on tour, nigga
I'm Kan, the Louis Vuitton Don
Bought my mom a purse, now she Louis Vuitton Mom
I ain't play the hand I was dealt, I changed my cards
I prayed to the skies and I changed my stars
I went to the malls and I balled too hard
"Oh my god, is that a black card?"
I turned around and replied, "Why yes
But I prefer the term African American Express"

>>69299731
KEK never forget

The media said he's way out of control
I just feel like I'm the only one not pretendin'
I'm not out of control, I'm just not in they control
I know I'm the most influential
That TIME cover was just confirmation
This generation's closest thing to Einstein
So don't worry about me, I'm fine
I can see a thousand years from now in real life
Skate on the paradigm and shift it when I feel like
Troll conventional thought, don't need to question
I know it's antiquated so sometimes I get aggressive
Thank God For Jay Electra, he down with the mission
Did it with no permission, on our own conditions
Most Blacks with money have been beaten to submission
Yeezy with the big house, did it way different
Never listen to Hollywood producers
Don't stare at money too long, it's Medusa
The ultimate Gemini has survived
I wasn't supposed to make it past 25

>"I made Jesus Walks so I'm never going to hell"

>>69305280
Trump doesn't hate black people, turn off your fucking tv

Why do we pretend on this board that Kanye isn't a tremendous disappointment as a lyricist?

The guy's production is god tier, but holy fuck, stop pretending there is hidden genius in Kanye's lazy, shit lyricism.

That still doesn't make it good

Yes, that is correct.

You also have to be retarded to believe in chem trails.

I never said anything about chemtrails or neo-nazis, idk where you are getting this from

>>69306046
You have to be retarded to believe anything else the media tells you?

Factually incorrect, history itself proves this to be wrong over and over again

Sorry shill

>>69306086
I'm saying that you're a retarded conspiracy theorist.

Believing that the media is lying to you is as retarded as believing in chem trails.

I know you're a retard but c'mon dude.

>>69306097
>the (((mainstream media))) is lying to you, history tells us this!
>that's why I get my news from neo-nazi fascists, because fascists have never lied!
I can tell you're a history major.

>>69306194
Nice try shill, your game keeps getting weaker

>>69306128
uh i don't believe in many of the conspiracies

at this point i think you have to be retarded to not realize the media lies, or at least to concede some ground to you, has a narrative spin they apply to their stories

if you made it through this year without realizing that liberal media bias is not a myth there is no help for you my friend

gord bless

spaceships has good observation lyricism

>>69306281
sorry brah, share some of them real news sources with me. im ready to be red pilled

>>69306194
dude, fucking come on

you can't just say that everyone who disbelieves in the media (especially after how monumentally incorrect they were following the election) is a neo-nazi. that's just fucking stupid, and really it's a symptom of why Trump won. You simply cannot brow beat people and shame them into voting for your candidate.

Here's to hoping the left fucking learns something before the 2018 midterms and the 2020 election, but the last two weeks leave little to hope for.

>Like them Eskimos, what would you do for a Klondike?
>Or two dykes that look Christina Milian like

L I T E R A L L Y a genius

White people get money don't spend it
Or they get money buy a business
I'd rather buy 80 gold chains and go ignant
I know spike Lee gone kill me but let me finish


I died when I heard that. L O fuggin L

>>69306345
I didn't say he was a neo-nazi, I said he's believing neo-nazi news sources. Calling someone retarded because they think Brietbart is a reliable news source is perfectly reasonable.

But yeah, the reason Trump won was because we haven't been giving fringe alt-right "news" sources and fake Russian websites enough credit.

Now, feel free to share how le liberal media has been feeding us lies.

great verse, imo wasted on tyler's album

https://youtu.be/0vrBBRjk2fc?t=1m23s

>>69296840
Mark my fucking words you whiteboi: none of Kanye's lyrics are worthy of consideration or study and will never, ever have a place in a learning setting. Kanye is a hack and will be quickly forgotten after this generation.

>>69306571
is this satire?

>>69306532
Surprise surprise, you're still talking to the same person, and I think Brietbart is mostly full of shit. I can't point to any one source like it is holy, I have just read everything and analyzed the whole situation for myself and I just don't trust the media anymore. Not after the things that wikileaks have revealed, especially about the DNC and their collusion with the media.

But beyond that, I mostly am just weary of the kill whitey antics of the Guardian, Jezebel, Gawker, Salon, Slate, and Buzzfeed. I mean, the fucking gall Buzzfeed has to try and implicate any other publication of producing fake news is astounding.

>>69306537
his flow is legit godlike here

I wanna turn the tanks to playgrounds
I dream't of 2Pac, he asked me "are you still down?"
"Yeah my nigga", Its on, its on, its on, its on
I know they told their white daughters don't bring home Jerome
I am the free nigga archetype
I am the light and the beacon, you can ask the deacon
It's funny when you get extra money
Every joke you tell just be extra funny
I mean you can even dress extra bummy
Cocaine, bathroom break, nose extra runny
And I gave you all I got, you still want extra from me
Oxford want a full blown lecture from me

>>69306721
>ut beyond that, I mostly am just weary of the kill whitey antics of the Guardian, Jezebel, Gawker, Salon, Slate, and Buzzfeed. I mean, the fucking gall Buzzfeed has to try and implicate any other publication of producing fake news is astounding.
Oh, by mainstream media you meant shitty blog sites. I wrongly assumed you were talking about real news sources since you told that guy to turn off his TV.

Could you name a single site you like?

>>69306634
Yes, except for the part where he will be mostly forgotten after this generation.

>>69297909
I really think he missed an oppurtunity to rhyme with "heroin" in the second line

Eh, I mean those are just the online outlets I really take issue with. It isn't difficult, after reading various news articles all day that when the Nightly News with either Lester Holt or David Muhr, to tell that they are misrepresenting facts. Take for instance when all the wikileaks shit first hit the fan and everyone, primarily CNN and MSNBC, went fucking bonkers and instead of really tackling corruption went BUT IT'S FUCKING RUSSIA GUYS COME ON.

That said, I guess I like Heastst, but they definitely biased in the other direction. I take it with a grain of salt. The Atlantic publishes its fair share of SJW hogwash, but they do put out some decent counterpoints. To really betray my own point of view, I really dig yotube antis such as David Rubin, Sargon (yeah, I know he's full of shit sometimes), and even Blaire White, because they make claims but post various creditable sources in their descriptions.

So yes I have my own bias, but have these individuals made a case that the mainstream media is not to be trusted? I think so. I mean, even if you're a liberal you understand that Fox News pumps out a lot of shit, why woudln't the same be true of the other outlets?
