How did he find these samples? He has turned out so many samples into stadium filling songs. My music pallet isn't nearly as diverse as his, but does he actually find all of these songs himself or does someone else just hold all of these in a giant treasure chest?
Sup Forums hates him cause he's black but Kanye is actually a musical genius. In terms of music knowledge and talent, he's elite class.
Michael Barnes
what do you mean by this
i always hear kanye is a genius but never why
please explain you fucking shart
Connor Williams
He's autistic and listens to a lot of obscure old music to appeal to white hipsters.
>dude yeezy isn't rap it's beyond that >ALL DAY NIGGA >ALL DAY NIGGA >ALL DAY NIGGA
Gavin Brown
he's a genius? his lyrics are fucking trash and there are way better producers out there.
Hudson Russell
I would guess that it's mostly the work of the dozens of producers that he works with.
Hudson Butler
Because they "feel" like he's a "genius".
Really he just copies other people's music and re-brands it.
Jonathan Reed
Everything past MBDTF was trash. He turned into a vine/memerapper
There's a war going on we ain't safe from, I feel the pain in my city wherever I go / 314 soldiers died in Iraq, 509 died in chicago
>I know people wouldn't usually rap this, but I got the facts to back this / Just last year Chicago had over 600 caskets, man killings some wack shit >Oh I forgot, except for when...niggas is rappin?
Jayden Collins
I don't see Soulja Boi or 50 cent digging to find an Alan Parsons or Aphex Twin sample.
Adrian Hill
MBDTF has the most diverse and well-integrated samples imho but I think TLOP works so much better.
ha, he doesn't do shit himself, he's a record label creation
you, my friend, are an idiot. and you have shit music tastes if you think he is elite class
Henry Ward
give a man a computer and youtube and he can sample whatever the fuck he wants from any style or era, i dont see whats so complex or praise worthy about it.
Chase Watson
I will never understand why people like his music. Even people whose opinions I respect when it comes to music seem to like him, but when I listen to the same songs it just sounds like noise.
He's also by a huge margin the worst guest rapper out there, maybe ever. Some people say ODB is, but at least he's funny-bad.
Sebastian Fisher
and you're impressed by that?
Anthony Richardson
His early production is god tier, I wish he hadn't gone off the deep end. I predict he kills himself sometime soon desu
But to answer your q: crate digging Dude probably has a room full of old records the size of your house
Jacob Butler
white people make ALLLL his shit, he let this french prducer fuck him so he would write that one album that he made in paris can't remember the guys name but it was all over the media when it was happening, he's a bad joke that blm type people worship like they worship beyonce and jay z
Angel Allen
yeah you're right i'd rather him talk about booties and rims
David Harris
With all due respect Kanye grew up with that music. You're acting like his samples aren't from hits from only a generation or so ago. You're just buying into his brand and sucking his cock. My opinion is that your opinions are shit. >"Giant treasure chest" Really? Any DJ age 30+ knows these songs. Fuck you!!!
Carson Hernandez
No, not really. He's the David Bowie of Rap. He takes original ideas from "underground" artists and sells them to the mainstream.
Caleb Hill
>just sounds like noise That's an even worse way to describe music than "it's pretentious". I don't care if it's a criticism against Kanye West.
Noah Evans
>Trump VS West 2020
I want this ao fucking bad.
Jose Barnes
That's a pretty fucking low bar you're setting, pal.
Jace Green
>god forbid someone break the rap mantra of violence and try to promote another lifestyle
Thomas James
just because he wrote some shit about niggers killing each other and how its bad, doesn't make him a genius. i hate that preachy shit.
That in and of itself doesn't make his music good.
Music is making something harmonic out of noise. If it isn't harmonic, it's just noise. That's like saying "it tastes like shit" isn't a good criticism of food. Well, I don't know what you put in it, but it tastes like shit, I'm sorry. What else do you want me to say? Try making something that doesn't taste like shit? Like how food should?
Henry Jones
All these samples are from first year wannabe music nerd recommendation lists. If you think they're obscure it's because you've never done any digging.
Bentley Harris
WE WUZ COMPOSING AND SHIT
Jayden Wright
>there's a war goin on outside / >no man is safe from. you can run but you can't hide / >forever, from these streets that we done took/ >you're running with your head down scared to look / >you shook / >cause ain't no such things as half-way crooks Oops, posted real rap.
Eli Cook
Many American negros spend their entire life within a few block radius.
Luis Scott
Kanye is like Apple he takes shit that already exists and "reinvents" them and then all the retards eat it up.
Christopher Moore
Exactly. How about you write your own music? Jot down some lyrics that aren't six stanzas of worthless bravado? Quit clutching your army of producers?
Why is it that in rap it's become okay to literally rely on other artists to write your music for you? I mean, maybe if you were really working hard to write some stellar lyrics, it could be justified, but rappers talk too much and say too little as it is now.
David James
Pop music is degenerate and controlled by niggers and jews. If you don't listen exclusively to Western art music you're a faux that's only politically incorrect for fashion.
