I think what makes me love Kanye is that alot of his bars make me laugh.

Kanye invented meme rap

Lyricwise I kinda only like him when he's sad or introspective like in Big Brother, Real Friends, etc.

>>73125688
Couches, couches, couches, couches, which one should I pick?
I need extra deep, I like my bitches extra thick (sonic boom!)

I don't know about specific lyrics, but the other day I was thinking about the US economy and kind of realized that capitalism has become a new slave system and that we have much less freedom than we realize. It fucking hit me right then, "New Slaves." I appreciated that song a lot more after that, because I felt like Kanye and I are on the same page about that now.

Saint Pablo is his best lyrically imo. Great song overall too.

How? Why?
There's We Major, Gorgeous, Last Call, Touch the Sky, Jesus Walks, Breathe In Breathe Out, Flashing Lights, Everything I Am, Heard Em Say, Late, No More Parties, and Blame Game.

Not that Saint Pablo is bad, but those songs shit all over it.

I don't really care if you think that's edgy or whatever. I don't have to fit in. It's true though, so have fun with that.

>>73125962
No other rapper does introspective as well as him, Drake is absolutely terrible at it and that's what he's known for.

>>73126356
It's not edgy, it's just that you're a retard and if more people come into this thread they're going to mock your retardation.
New Slaves isn't about capitalism by the way.

Jesus Christ, I don't feel like laying out a whole philosophy in a 4chan post that no one will take seriously, okay? But I basically like the song New Slaves, that's all I wanted to say.

>>73126447
Ye's new album? Me too. I appreciate New Kanye, but I do prefer shit like Everything I Am.
FML was weak. I wish he had another verse on Wolves. Everything on TLOP felt so short.

POP A WHEELIE ON THE ZEITGEIST

I'm not really dead; This caskets for show
I'm not really alive; I only cry to bring you into my hole
And I will hold you tightly in the name of fucked up
'Till you bite away the staples that connected us

My ribs break every time I get a hug
A billion stars in the sky and I only want to taste one
You're my Jupiter, I'm your junkie
I know you're pretty; I can see it in my ugly

>>73126521
I really like the second half of TLOP, it grew on me recently but yeah, I miss stuff like Everything I Am, Family Business too.

>>73126742
this is terrible.

>>73126382
Kendrick does introspection way better than Kanye and you know it's true.

>>73126753
I need to listen to it more, it's a really weird album in how everything is new but feels familiar (not in a bad way).
It's amazing, but I hesitate to say it's on par with the rest of his albums.

KEEP IT 300

>>73126766
It was less of an act of hubris
More a lonely hearts club at the helm of a magic bullet
Away on a relentless bid for rarefied inertia
Rattletrap forks married to the patchy terra firma Ursa Minor getting warmer
I crowbar into the pecking order
The dreck between the whores and Betty Ford-ers
Hug a double yellow spine
Knobby rubber like a rat on a rope
Those little fuckers run on passion alone
This is the product of a d.i.y. inadequate home
Grabbing a cabin in the-fuck-outta-dodge
Actin' a savage in the shadows of Rome
Traffic amassed against insufferable odds
Fashioning gallows out of plastic and bone
I got the motordrome walls of death splintering under me
All-city galvanized bikes white knuckling
Bright light, tunnel kings tuck in the devil
PS - I wrote this on a self-destructing memo...

>>73126787
I'm more of a MBDTF and Graduation guy, I like every album but this two are always with me, even though people here usually put Graduation like his worst but whatever, maybe I just like pop rap.

No, Kendrick does everything terribly.
On u he did a cartoon voiced and rapped everything in third person. Garbage.

OK, I DONT REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST MET

Kanye doesn't know the difference between Romans and Spartans

>>73126835
Late Registration is my favorite but Graduation is seriousl amazing.
Few features, just straight personal bars and anecdotes.
The production ventures further away from traditional hip-hop and his last two albums.
I disliked Good Life for so long, but it has to be one of his best songs.

>>73126859
>defending rapping in third person and putting on a cartoon voice

Is this bait

I think I overlooked LR compared to his other albums, will give it a propper listen soon.

Unironically my favorite Kanye bars

They're so stupid but he delivers them with this bizarre intensity and I love the synths I gotta say

>>73127053
Yeezus lyrics are art

>>73126875
obligatory 300 in roman numeral = CCC
CCC = Calm Cool Collected (or something like that??)

That was actually a deep line. I'll show you the bigger meaning

"Trapped in a theater like Hitler"... as you may already know, in real life, Hitler was never actually trapped in a theater. He died in a bunker. Kanye is referencing the movie "Inglorious Bastards". Kanye isn't referencing real life, he's referencing the media's version of real life.

Another line goes like "300 like the Romans..." Now, he's referencing another movie loosely based on real life, "300". In real life, the forces of the 300 didn't belong to the Romans, it belonged to Greece. He's deliberately mistaking reality for his own version of it.

Kanye deliberately referenced two historical events, that had famous movies based on them, and referenced the media's version of these real events, as opposed to what actually happened. By doing so, Kanye is making an extended metaphor on how real life can be altered by the media, a concept which correlates to his own life (how the media perceives him as an ****, etc).

By doing so, Kanye is making his own version of REALITY with this song. These themes may be extended within the album. Since he calls himself a God in "I Am God", the album might be about his own shaping of reality. His version of the world, since he is a god. During "Black Skinhead", since he is God, he can alter reality and perceive it the way he wants to.

All the movie references actually have a bigger meaning. He's talking about how the media (ie movies) can alter the perception of things. The King Kong line is a reference to how the media perceives his relationship with Kim. They portray him as the giant ape, trying to kidnap the white woman.

Kanye is a postmodernist, he has rejected the idea of god and become god. He makes his own reality through the media and changes history. The line's a lot smarter than you think.

His lyrics don't stand out. He's as hackneyed as any top 40 rapper. Let's take a look at one of his acclaimed tracks:

Yo G they can't stop me from rapping can they?
Can they, huh?
>typical rapper bragging
Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you, I'd gladly risk it all
>rhyming wall with all. so original
Through the fire, through whatever come what may
For a chance at loving you, I'd take it all away
>more rhymedictionary.com
>oh wow he'd risk it all for love. never heard that before in a song
Right down through the wire, even through the fire
>"through" the wire? he doesn't even get his fucking idioms right and what is this, Loverboy? wire and through the fire.
Now he just needs some spandex pants and a headband
I spit it through the wire man
>yeah I bet he spits
There's too much stuff on my heart right now man
>rhymes 'man' with 'man' and halfasses some internal rhyme
>so much on his heart though. what a poet!
I'll gladly risk it all right now
It's a life or death situation man
>more dreck that could have a nice keytaur and drum machine backing
Y'all don't really understand how I feel right now man
>by this point he had to have been trying to end as many sentences with 'man' as possible.
>but it's okay because we just don't know how he feels
>he's such a complex genius guys

It's a good song, but there's so many bad lines.
There's some good ones sure, but he mostly just rambles and jumps from topic to another just to make the rhymes work.
For example the last parts of his final verse are really weak.
Then there's probably my least favorite Kanye lyric "Who the real owner if your boss gets a salary?". I get what he is trying to say, but it just sounds so pseudo philosophical and stupid. Sounds like something a high school pothead would say.
