Kanye West

I could totally see why someone would find his music boring, even though I love it.

Hey man, I've long been one of the guy's most outspoken defenders. I've been listening to his music with a great deal of focus and intent for over a decade and am not just talking out my ass when I criticize him. It's fine if you don't want to respond, but drop the air of superiority.

Sorry for the crossing of wires; I was really just referencing zeb and verb. I disagree with your feelings here, but I get them. They are thoughtful opinions. Unlike zeb's.

I just wish that wonderful production on Real Friends didn't have to slum with Kanyes shitty lyrics.

The lyrics to that song are narcissistic bullshit. The song itself has a soul but only Kanye can relate to those shitty lyrics and it kind of kills the song for me.

Real Friends and Wolves are the best songs off that album. I agree though about the half-assery KD.

Do you want me to call your cat on her FaceTime LV?

"Ultralight Beam," "Real Friends," and "FML" are my favorites. I love the inflection in Kanye's voice when he sings "niggas ain't real as they pretend to be." That's great phrasing.

I like "Wolves," "30 Hours," and "No More Parties" too. But the meat of the album is just kind of a drag for me.

[verb_to_trust]

Those are my top 6 on the album as well.

[LoathedVermin72]

"Ultralight Beam", "Father Stretch My Hands", and "Famous" are pretty untouchable for me.

[LoathedVermin72]

But fuck, "Freestyle 4" is amazing too. Man I love this album.

Aren't you a big fan of world-famous homophobe Josh Homme?

I am a big fan of Josh Homme and I don't defend his right to use the word "fag" as a slur. What's your point?

[bart]

c'mon, jorge.

[zeb]

I almost went with that.

[bart]

Josh Homme's music is really boring, though.

Wait, what was your point in coming to this thread and talking about "all the misogynists we admire", or posting on my Facebook about how you "can't believe I support such a misogynist"? It sounded like you read that blog post about the TLOP lyrics, got all riled up about it, and were going for a whole moral superiority angle, but maybe I misread you.

[LoathedVermin72]

Oh Jesus, what blog post?

[4/5]

This back and forth is inspiring me to put this album on again for the first time in a little while.

Im still in love with TLOP even if i dont listen to it anymore. Its a great, great album and a ll come back to it soon.
