duke lost his marbles.
i dont think he's really THAT crazy/egomaniacal because that might just be his gimmick...but he's definitely been weird.

Your man is trying a littletoo hard to be different. Sonically. With his mullet + math teacher look.
None of it is fresh right now.
But I would not at all say he fell off. His records are huge, his album still sells, and he still has an army of male groupies behind him (um, no !$+%?).

...Which isn't a measure of talent in the least bit; just popular opinion.
Yes, I think Kanye's music is on a downward spiral.

While that makes sense, every man isn't the same. Everyone copes differently. With that said, I look forward to him rapping again on his majorlabel album this summer.Originally Posted by DearWinter219

Damn....I can relate, but also... I rapped about losing my mother because uh...well... I'm a rapper. That's what we do. So I feel bad for Kanye as a man, but as a rapper, I'm ashamed of the choices he's been making

imo I just think he's ahead of his time and 808s & Heartbreak will be appreciated in the future.
And isn't it the point to be yourself and not do what other people want to do?
I see what he's tryin to do... I don't think he fell off.... he jumped off into his own lane and is doing him....if you don't like it don'tlisten... he said it himself that he wishes he had less fans in the new Vibe Mag

Well, this is how I think about it...we mostly heard reviews from the Hip-Hop community, but I haven't heard the reviews from the "Pop Art" crowdwho have been make music like that for years cause you cAn't stray that far away from your initial audience (hip-hop) and not expect backlash. A successhowever as far as thinking out of the box was Late Registration. He channeled that Trip-hop sound via Jon Brion and it was dope as ***@. Ye need to rememberhis initial audience and recognize that sound a lil better. I liked 808s but Im not bout to act like I don't understand why no one else liked it

so?
Nastradamus went platinum too.....
Hey Hey Hey.... Leave that lp outta this discussion, we both know how nter's love to jump onto anything Nas related as a failure, especially if it happensto be the one misstep in his catalog and will take away form the debacle that Kanye calls his new mode

Yea i agree. He hasn't fallen off but with all this stuff he has been doing recently like saying he wants to do a bi-sexual porno isdefinitely gonna lead people to think different about him and saying he has fallen off . He just needs to go back to normal

I see what you saying, Hype. But at the same time he is trying to expand his fanbase and familiarize people that dont listen to his music, or even hip-hopfor that matter, to broaden their horizons. Im sure he felt that his solid hip-hop fans were ready and eager for him to push the envolope and bring yet again,a whole new sound to the table. I feel like the true hip-hop heads shouldnt be that upset because parallel to 808s, he also put out stuff like Swagga Like Us,Go Hard, and produced for other hip-hop artist. He aint lost his touch.

True. Like I said I like 808s and I also expect/look forward to him pushing envelopes but 808s was on some other ___

Its funny because this thread is NOT about your opinion. Whether you liked 808s or his new hair style has nothing to do with if he fell off or not. If you wantan example of somebody who fell off just look at 50 or Cam.

Na he aint fall off.
808's and Heartbreaks is actually a really good album.
Its well put together and its the kinda cd u can play for start to end.
The only problem is people are used to Kanye spittin..but if he would have gave the album to a singer everyone would have liked that joint..
But i do think he needs to get back to spittin..

he needs to keep with the raw beats he use to produce before. emo kanye is cool but hip hop kanye is better. but i dont know why yall are hating on 808's .if an artist/musician is going through emotional times you'd expect that to reflect on the art. which is exactly what happened with kanye.
he's past his gutta/hungry days and so we see that through his music. i dont expect kanye to make street @##! anymore if he's living a mult-milliondollar life.
