I found those statements back to back HIGHLY amusingOriginally Posted by firered18
Some of these opinions got me wanting to off some of y'allMine:
Big Sean is the most unique artist in the game rt now; son's flow isand he doesnt get enough credit for it. Top 3 flows in the game right now and his delivery is unique.
What do you mean by "over-raps"
This....I just dont get it man
IS a terrible producer. WAS a good producer.
He's a BEYOND TERRIBLE "rapper" also.
@solarius49 - He doesn't make his beats anymore. A lot of what he drops is produced by committee, as he has guys like Mike Dean (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/w...ike_Dean_%28producer%29) in the lab with him working on his recent stuff. With the exception of "Otis", I don't think we've heard a straight up Kanye-only produced beat in a couple of years.
As for the rapping skills, Kanye has always been just so-so. Take away the tracks, the fame, the style, etc., and try to imagine him on a street corner rapping acapella - your mind would not be blown. He has his moments (see: "The Truth Freestyle", "Gorgeous", etc.), but for the most part, he lacks in that department.
Plus, he's still saying "put the suicide doors up". Suicide doors go out, not up. It was okay in '07 on Graduation but he's owned several exotic cars since then and I have to believe he knows the difference. That just screams "lack of effort" to me. Plus, that "auntie team" line from "Roses" makes me grind my teeth at night to this day.
...................disregard that last part, that's just me being a rap nerd. I'm just joshin'.Love you, Yeezus.
I agree about Immortal x 1000 i got Violent by design by Jedi but haven't really gotten into them otherwise, any album suggestions?
Its funny because I used to listen to alot of both of them, and now I cant help but feel like Immortal Technique is vastly OVERRATED. I feel like he is just good for shock value. I liked watching him on those old battle shows on the public access network, but I cant get jiggy with him anymore.

It's like he tries to hard sometimes to prove how sophisticated and articulate his raps are. It's almost as if he gets caught up in that aspect of the verse rather than tell the story or point that you would like to hear. Think of a really good basketball player who instead of just taking the wide open shot or taking two hard dribbles to get to the rim, unnecessarily dribbles between the legs, drops spin moves, and pump fakes to score.
I agree with you about Kendrick, but I use that exact analogy to describe Wale
Nas is only pseudo-intellectual if you listen to his bad music. Like, there are people who like Nas because he raps platitudes about Africa with Damian Marley, but his early albums are incredible descriptions of street life. Just don't be convinced that post HHID is what Nas is supposed to be just because people on NT eat it up.
