― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link
also happy birthday Kanye
Never cared for Hypnotize either. Love that Wu/Isaac Hayes joint. Run DMC singles are class. Gold Digger is ok, Drive Slow is my Kanye jam tho.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Golddigger probably better than most 90s RUN DMC tracks. Still, I've grown to hate Jamie Foxx and his hokey soul-singing ass can leave now thank you.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
okay maybe I should've specified pre-Back From Hell Run DMC

I think people are just tired of his face showing up anywhere. Understandably.

Kanye West isn't fit to untie their shell toes.

Kanye has always been terrible; his great songs are not due to his lyrical skills

Flashing Lights love all about the track itself, for me at least. Probably counter to the spirit of a rap poll, but I voted for it anyway.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 18:17 (thirteen years ago) link
You guys are crazy -- he stopped being great when his success allowed him to become douchier and douchier -- his "complexities" became routine and grating -- still putting out dope albums cuz he's supremely talented, but
He noticeably dropped off as a rapper around 'graduation' which we all know is the birthplace of the grocery bag
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 8 June 2011 18:18 (thirteen years ago) link
i have hope that "gone" will place

Find his flow hard to take over a whole album but in small doses, like this, it works.
