Flights Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 He wrote the lyrics himself the people mentioned it for the music but most of those will be people getting credit for samples rather than actually being involved with the song.Ah ok. I thought that. Elton John? I thought his Hip Hop career peeked with his Tupac duet 'Ghetto Gospel'.Not surprised at Rihanna, she seems to be on everything. I think Eminem fancies her or something.

Paranoid Android Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Elton John's hip hop career peaked with his collaboration with Blue. I'm sure the black guy did a rap in the song, he always did. I quite like Rihanna's voice but unfortunately she mostly releases crap. I like a few of her singles from a few years back though.

Paranoid Android Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I have to say that even though most people have been disagreeing with me it's been nice to have a conversation longer than one post about an artist I like on here. I should bump that Nadia Oh thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yeah, as much as I hate Kanye, it's been nice discussing without going "shut up you fucking dickhead what do you know."More of this sort of thing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the choruses where all you really hear is Rihanna. But everyone's there. He wanted to have a massive ensemble type of thing going on.Who is it that does the rapping after Kid Cudi's bit? Also, I have to say, I only really like his first 2 albums, MBDTF, and cruel summer. I pick and choose some songs I like off Watch The Throne and my love for Yeezus is purely due to the production. The lyrics are terrible. Ca_gere, you don't like noisey stuff but you seemed to have liked everything Teabags posted, may I present you with this...

ca_gere Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I suppose the closest thing to AIDs Wolf I actually like would probably beThe Stretchheads or Upsilon Acrux (though listening to it now, Upsilon Acrux aren't really like them at all, cos they're technically very good, which I don't think AIDs Wolf are in the slightest) Both of these are pretty great. The stretch heads one I particularly like. Great intro too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Thinking it through a bit more it depends on the context and whether the content of the song has anything to do with it. I wouldn't have a problem listening to a child rapist's song about fictional ninjas but I wouldn't listen to a track promoting rape. Politically I could listen to stuff I disagreed with up to certain extremes. I can listen to gospel or devotional Indian classical or Kanye West's Jesus Walks, even recognising it as quite powerful, while wholeheartedly disagreeing with the sentiment that whatever God(s) is real and awesome.This is a good point. I don't have anything to add aside from the fact that I don't think I've ever really thought about it. I'm sure a lot of stuff I listen to has questionable politics/ideologies. You've ruined music for me man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 While we came to an agree to disagree agreement on Kanye's music, can we all agree that he is a massive wanker?http://www.zimbio.com/All+the+People+and+Things+Kanye+West+Has+Compared+Himself+To Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I find him entertaining. He'd make a terrible real person but as an A-list celeb I'l let it pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I like bits of Kanye's output from his first 3 albums. 'Family Business' is genuinely one of my favourite hip hop songs. He's certainly capable of good lyrics, as per that song and numerous others, but his recent output is a total trainwreck. He is hugely entertaining regardless, because he is a total boob.

Jaaakkkeee Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 The one thing I hate about his new complaining is that in the BBC interview he's making out that it was so hard to become a mogul or whatever because no one would take a black man seriously. Even though he's a huge rapper and producer. 3 words: Beats by Dre. It seems pretty simple if you're not a total bellend. But enough of that, Bound 2 is a banger.

Paranoid Android Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I love Family Business, not one of my very favourite tracks but it's definitely contains the kind of lyrics I liked most from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point he's making may be true but he's putting it across in the worst possible way.It probably is tough to be taken seriously at the executive level of brands/institutions/etc as a black person. I'm sure it's still somehwat of an old fashioned gentleman's club rife with racism, sexism and the like.Much like this will.i.am appointment at intel, I'd guess there's a novelty aspect of having a black pop icon involved with your product. (Would intel have had as much coverage, or would people be poking fun at it, if they used Chris Martin from coldplay or someone like that?)That said, challenging the system by playing the persecution card makes him seem like a total bell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Whatever this awful crap is, someone just posted it in another thread and I stupidly clicked on it. That's it, music is dead to me now. Tomorrow I'm throwing all my albums away and burning my iPod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yeah that is very bad. I immediately had to reduce the volume just in case anyone in my flat over heard and thought I liked it. It wasn't long before I had to turn it off completely. Total shite.
