Kanye Wests Graduation Full Of "Tired Rhymes"?

[Raptor Jesus]

KANYE WEST turns to the Eighties for inspiration on his new album, Graduation.

I’m one of the few people in the world to have been played the 11-track collection but I’m sad to say it’s not a patch on his two previous albums.

There’s a suite of songs more suited to thuggish 50 CENT than the backpacker rappers like COMMON associated with Kanye.

That’s not to say the record’s terrible — there are thrilling tracks.

Homecoming, featuring COLDPLAY frontman CHRIS MARTIN, is a wonky delight.

Can’t Tell Me Nothing is a slice of robo-crunk, like nothing you’ve heard before.

Good Life and Champion are smothered in layers of funk.

But the rapping really lets this disc down.

Tired rhymes about being the best and overcoming life’s obstacles are starting to grate now that they come from the lips of a multi-millionaire.

Kanye was wilin` with the Klondike/Blonde dike line on that "stronger" shit.

[Ray Pue.]

mhmm i was lookin forward to this album but i dont even like stronger that much but cant tell me nothin is dope

[Cody Nash]

stronger is a fucking awsome track ..


and that track he's been trying to make with John Mayer for like 2 years is on this album.. which is awsome because i'm a big kanye AND mayer fan.

it's called Bittersweet.. shit's awsome, that track has already been released as well as stronger and can't tell me nothin'.. i think the album is gonna be awsome. i have his other ones.

[Re. Says. P. Says.]

Bittersweet is not going to be on the album.

[split...]

cant tell me nothing was a dope track...i bump dat shit erry day naddaddamean

[doesnotexist]

kanye sucks to me as a rapper and he's annoying as fuck. homo needs to be slapped.

[Raptor Jesus]

He has his moments...

"Lock yourself in a room doing five beats a day for three summers"

Shit hits deep ya know?

But as a Rapper he's pretty mediocre, a producer is a different story.

[LEP]

say wutchu want...he makes sum different, catchy music.....cant say that about 90% of the cats these days

[Kontroverzy™]

this nigga said "wonky delight"

[Cadaver.]

I hate how everyone hates on him sampling shit in the past, he samples good shit, and no, he did it better than Puffy. Puffy did it kinda whack, Kanye did it great.

Anyway, I don't "pick up" albums that much anymore, but Kanye is different, I'm not on dude's dick but every song I've heard from him, I liked.

Stronger was dope, none of my friends like it, though. :/
