YouTube - Krs-1 - Can't stop, Won't stop

I agree tho that KRS1 is great, ^thats one a my favorites.

yeah i love KRS1 too. criminal minded.... great song

He does suck. Laughably bad lyrics and flow. He's just an average producer.

Kanye West?
 

Does everyone think Kanye West has a annoying ego?

Unfortunately, no. Not everyone thinks he has an annoying ego. We must fix this!

New album has been awarded 5 stars from Rolling Stone.
Just sayin'

So good he needed to tweet it twice.

What an utter twat, but he's a great WUM.

I love Kanye. :laughing:

Rolling Stone loves everything.

that being said, everything i've heard off this album has impressed me.

Do they? Loads of albums I've seen, they've given a crap score to.
Really good albums as well, Rolling Stone seem shit but I pay very little attention to stuff like that. But they don't seem to hand out 5 stars all the time.

his new album is awesome and is definitely one of the best releases of the year

That's supposed to be a good thing? The Rolling Stones have no idea on what good music is.

It's surprising, more than anything.
They have given 3/5 and 3.5/5 for really great albums and I've never really seen them give a 5/5 for an album that's not The Velvet Underground & Nico, or other obvious greats.
I expect it to be quite average, but we'll see.
I've grown to dislike Rolling Stone more than Pitchfork in recent times.

Rolling Stone will give a mediocre score to something that turns out to be groundbreaking and recieve critical praise and then they'll bump it to five stars and include it on their 500 Greatest Albums List.

Pitchfork just wants attention so they'll give any popular album or anything by a big-name artist a piss-poor review just because.

In conclusion, they're both hopelessly ignorant music journals that everyone (fake hipsters and fun-loving 20 somethings aside) sorta know are a big joke.

In the Aeroplane over the Sea, Pitchfork AND Rolling Stone did it.
Allmusic seem to be okay, whenever I've seen them rate an album it's usually pretty on the money.

They're the only ones I seem to agree with a majority of the time (of course it's not like it's their job to agree with me). They write pretty informative reviews and are usually very sincere. The only thing that bugs me is they'll sometimes rave about an album in the actual review and then give it like 2.5 or 3 stars out of 5... what's up with that?

kanyes new album is really really good so we should probably talk about that instead of how every music journalists sucks.

One could say we pulled a... Kayne... on this thread.

alright that was pretty damn funny. touche

Kanye's new album -> critics view -> opinions on critics.

Sometimes threads go slightly off the subject matter, I haven't heard the album so I have no idea how I'd go about talking about the merits of it instead of talking about the hype surrounding it, when I hear it then that will be a different matter.

thanks 4 droppin' that knowledge bro.


has anyone hear heard the album except for me though? i'd really love to hear some other members opinions on it instead of their opinions on pitchfork and rolling stone, because i can everywhere in the unpopular music opinions.

It's quite obvious that the critical consensus will get talked about before people hear the record, why have you got a problem with that? :confused:

However, I'd also like to hear someone else's thoughts. I'm intrigued.

sorry if i came off as an ass there, it was more of a joke :P

I love the album, it's probably my favourite album he's ever done. No real weak tracks in my opinion. Have you listened to Power?

Haven't heard it yet. Haven't really even heard The College Drop Out all the way through. I'm greatly looking forward to this though. I think Monster was the best hip hop single in years so my first 'real' Kayne experience will probably be pretty good.

Do you need a link? I can hook you up if so

I'd actually love one if you don't mind.

I'm downloading it now, I just hope it isn't the clean version.
I want profanity god damn it!
4 minutes and I'll give it a listen.

I'm listening to it now, so far I'm liking.
