Third.....this thread is filled with Love and Hate...no in between. Man, everybody dont gotta be gangsta. If all music was gangsta music we'd be fucked. I love gangsta shit, but sometimes you need to knock other thangs. Kanye's shit is a classic in myeyes because he went against the grain, did what he does and still put together a TIGHT product. That shit dont even sound like a RocAFella album, man. The feeling of the LP is bringing fun back 2 hip-hop while everybody talkin about how hard they are. Even the workout jam shit works for what it is. FUN! How many albums are actually fun today? NONE. And on top ofthat the beats bang. ALL of the production is not sped-up samples, so fuk what u heard. Shit is quality. How many niggaz got Jay-Z, Common,Mos,Talib and Twista on the same album? And that "All Falls Down" shit is like a true story from a diary or somethin. HOW CAN U NOT FEEL THE STRUGGLE??? "Single black female...addicted to retail" Man. The haters here are on supercrack, nigga. Good music is good music...bottom line. And as far as Gangsta shit...why would he do a gangsta album? He produced Gangsta hits for Beani Sigel, Scarface....shit the list is insane. Do your fukkin homework, joe.
