These sound like pretty typical/average hip hop beats to me. Also, it's surprising how fast people forget the things he said.

surprising, or it just doens't matter as much as it does to you? I'm a fan of kanye west music since I was 12 from when he was producing the rocafella roster. r kelly is out there raping women and basically kidnapping them, chris brown is beating them, and I'm supposed to be ashamed to listen to kanye west music because he wanted to wear a maga hat bc its edgy to him? oh please.

also, the beats are fire. i wasn't expecting more "lunch money" off the wall beats but these are fire. i listened to guess whos back (Scarface, jay z, beanie, produced by kanye) today like 15 times bc its a favorite from my childhood and im hype.

I think it's fine to enjoy the music, but the way people ride celebrity egos sometimes bothers me. Even if he puts out something that sounds nice, people have to act like he's some kind of god. I think I just hate celebrity culture in general. If the new album turns out good, people will forget and won't hold him responsible. There's a sentiment that you can get away with anything as long as you are churning out the good stuff.

I still never understand why anyone would bother listening to garbage snippets. And nowadays they're twitter videos? Give me a fucking break.

I'll just wait for a decent quality version of the whole album

you sound like you're giving him a large platform and celebrity in your mind and then judging him more because of that. i hate celebrity culture too but you should to know people aren't just celebrities. kanye is an artist/musician who's been creating music for the last 20 years. people are just acting like they really like music which an artist that may make some of their favorite music creates. it's culture and art. there's not something wrong with that. if people want to idolize him because he creates their favorite music, let them. that's not celebrity culture. that's having a favorite artist. kanye does stupid shit i don't agree with.

Like I said, I think it's fine to enjoy the music, but at some point you have to consider that you are supporting someone who is expressing and spreading hateful views. It just seems shortsighted for people to stop their judgement at his music and willfully ignore the path he's headed on. At some point you have to stop and ask yourself, "Is this the kind of person I want to give a boost to?"

share all your services and branded items you own and let's look up every C level executive political views. kanye doesn't even know trumps ideologies or policies. he's not fighting for them. his case is so minor compared to some other artists. people don't even speak about racist ass guns and roses.

I honestly think what you just said is incredibly shortsighted. he's got the pushback and feedback from everyone already. i just want to hear the music I love. i don't shut doors to conversations and other viewpoints even though I also consider them to lead towards hateful speech, but i express that to them directly.

And now that you say it, kanye IS the person I would like to boost! if the music is amazing, i'll stream it as many times as I want and buy as many albums I want. i cant wait c:

I suspect that Kanye's slavery comments were a bigger deal on this forum than in most circles, but I can't enjoy his music like I did before he started going through his red hat period.

Pretty solid, the 7 track gimmick only works if they all smash and for me they didn't which is a damn shame

Come Back Baby is the song of the year though shit is un fucking real

Go back through the thread and call out the people who said they would boycott. I never said that shit because I'm not stupid. Anyone who said that shit who will now listen "one time" are hypocrites and you should call them out but call out people because I never said that dumb shit.
