Watched the first episode of the netflix doc.
It’s insane the amount of footage they had for a yet to be famous person. It’s interesting to see the behind curtains of the business in the 90’s.
Funny that not even on those early days Kanye seems very likable. Funniest part is Kanye playing “all falls down” and rapping it in front of different “Roc a fella” employees who just want to keep doing their jobs.

Wayno debunked that scene on Twitter, apparently Kanye had been playing the song like 10 times in a row and everyone thought it was good but also like dude we can't sit here and listen to this all day, but they edited to make everyone else look bad

Oh that sucks. I Liked the idea that he just annoyed himself into the spotlight.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 21 February 2022 14:40 (two years ago) link
It’s still not a genius move to play a song several times while people are working even if they liked it the first time.
I think it makes it even more awkward and annoying that way come to think of it.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 21 February 2022 14:42 (two years ago) link
Wayno talks about that too, this was after the Blueprint, he had just done amazing beats on an instant classic he was hot as fuck as a producer, everyone wanted his beats. in no way, shape or form were people not receptivehe also said people were just annoyed with the camera crews all the timealso Kanye's whole personality didn't jibe with a lot of the Roc who were genuine street dudes

Kanye always has to be the victim in his own mindI want to see this because I love that era but he's so grating to me now
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 21 February 2022 14:46 (two years ago) link
I was gonna say that I don’t think it paints him as a misunderstood genius, you can see everybody acknowledges him as a great producer, it’s more of a struggle against the label trying to keep him in his producer lane.

my favorite scenes involved either (1) him taking out his retainer, or (2) hanging out with his mom.

Reminds me a bit of the story about Bowie playing his new record over and over again at a party until John Lennon asked if they could listen to something else please (and Bowie went off in a pout).

It’s interesting to hear some sort of regret on Scarface’s anecdote:

In the doc it seems like he wasn’t into “jesus walks” and he just bails.

lol

Seems like the Donda listening livestreams really made a difference in the album being talked about so much. Not sure the same will happen with tonight’s release happening only in IMAX theaters and on the new Pono.

no he still livestreamed this one on youtube, twitch, and the stem player website, just no one really seemed to care this time except the hardcore stans.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm2z81kJfCk
this was the stream, it starts at around 2 hours 43 min in. i don't care enough to watch it but looking at fan reactions they're all saying it was a trainwreck with the music still being clearly unfinished (of course, he'll probably do another 3 of these) & major audio/tech problems

Oh this wasn’t cancelled?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 23 February 2022 05:38 (two years ago) link
Yeah noone is talking about it which means
a) noone was expecting him to deliver a deadline
b) people are tired of him and it’s fucking tuesday.
c) it’s not good enough to talk about it
d) all of the above

yeah i think no one really cares at all now beyond the hardcore stans now & even they hated this. it's clear he's just doing the same shit as last year yet again - there's not even the novelty to it - it'll be a few months before an album actually materialises

i can't imagine anyone on this thread wants to argue on behalf of kanye's lyricism at any point in his career but the poopity scoop line was just oddball onomatopoeia not half a step away from shimmy shimmy ya shimmy yeah and i never understood why he caught so much er shit for that and not for say rhyming secure with insecure
