I'm not a huge Kanye fan, but all these comments bashing his artistry... ignorant. Kanye is an amazing producer and composer. Doesn't matter if he has someone is adding a small set to the beat, he's still a genius
@@joeytribianni9280 they werent close at all. Madlib did bootleg songs over Dilla beat tapes, Dilla found out and they became friends over the phone. Dilla and Kanye never had an interaction as far as the internet knows.
Ya'll are just saying that because he died. There's no fucking way if you were born in the 70's or 80's that you can honestly say that as a pure beatmaker that Dilla wasn't fucking with the RZA or Preemo back in the day. Dilla wasn't even really fucking with Pete Rock or Havoc in the 90's. I know when people die their art or ingenuity gets magnified but I'm a real hip-hop, underground head and Dilla was dope but definitely has NOTHING definitive that would make him the goat.
@@WallTrapMedia the way he chopped samples on the kick an snare to find his own patterns was something he mastered first. "Don't cry" is still a beat no one could replicate because Dilla's chopping technique was one of a kind
@@WallTrapMedia If we're only talking ab in the 90s then Madlib wouldnt be considered a top producer, Black Thought wouldnt be considered one of the GOATs, etc. Dilla's best work came in the late 90s - early to mid 2000s up until his passing. Donuts is still one of the greatest instrumental hip hop albums ever. Labcabincalifornia was definitely a standout for production as well
When I think beats I think of premier and Dilla..I feel also? If a beat puts you in a zone? Get lost in it? That's all it counts? And I got lost in plenty of JD joints!
@@unclesam530 tryna get my man some exposure most importantly some Criticism to help him grow. he dropped a J Dilla Tribute EP awhile back and now has 3 projects since last year streaming on all platforms Please give your honest opinion ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fLo_4qI9vQY.html
Well saying slavery was a choice, Harriet Tubman did nothing for the slaves, repping maga gear, being rude to other artists and an egomaniac are a few reasons.
@@mosesbarro8628 i think the harriet comment gets overreacted too and misconstrued. he was very clearly just saying slavery isn't over. which is a pretty common sentiment in african-american scholarship.
@@mosesbarro8628 1. He never said slavery was a choice, watch the interview for yourself. (If you reply saying you did watch it I won’t reply back, don’t have patience for retarded statements) He said Tubman had the slaves move over to work for more white people, this comment was about black empowerment not about Harriet Tubman not “freeing” them like history class would say, he sees slaves being moved over to another country to work for more white people isn’t freedom just different work but he never undermined the actual difference between being slaves and working for whites. Name another artist he shat on for literally no reason, Kanye is literally one of the biggest talent finders out there and has created, saved and helped so many careers and I’ve never heard him shit talk an artist for no reason even most of the time even when he has a reason - Drake, Chris Brown etcetera he still doesn’t infact he just sent Chris Brown one of his Sherpas, he has always given people their flowers while they were still here and has always shown love to other artists, the only singular time he ever disrespected an artist was Taylor Swift but that situation has many different contextual values that should just be it’s own conversation especially since it doesn’t serve your point at all really. Repping Maga merch, Kanye has stated so many many times he didn’t follow up with all Trump’s policies, he later stated that he is pulling away from Trump’s social bubble because he was afraid that he was being used for the colour of his skin by others in the Republican Party. He wanted to have a relationship with the president regardless of who it was because he wants to create and help people and the best way to do this is to also have the president of your country on board not only for financial help (because he doesn’t need that) for his projects but also because it’s as good as you can get for a portfolio or cv? You worked for an amazing restaurant that’s famous and now have to move house and work somewhere else? Another restaurant is more likely to take you on if your cv has a statement from your boss who owns a famous well done restaurant, it’s the best slipnote you’re getting if you have the president on your radar. 80% of what you see about Kanye in the news is false, I thought with all the finger in your butt, Jeffree Star cheating allegations this would be common sense by now but I guess people really just love to shit on a black man doing nothing but greatness, ignore that he’s trying to build a sustainable city running on water and other natural sources and even more amazing projects lol. TLDR: You’re wrong, do research.
@@123rtXd I guess that’s why that comment was so well received by the black community, the black audience members who were present when he made those remarks and the black woman who filmed it and left immediately after he said that. Makes sense.
he sells shoes that are made in 3rd world countries for a price tag of a couple hundred dollars, sometimes even more than that. it that's what you call art and "not selling out", ok, that's your opinion.
@@maxmeier532 so you’re saying every shoe company of all time sold out. That’s business by the book. It’s the entire system that we’ve been placed into that’s the real problem. What I mean by “selling out” is that he never compromises the art of his own work for radio play or what the masses would receive better
@@maxmeier532 His shoes, while a personal business venture, are not considered art, even by him. His music is art, which he has never sold out or made more pallatable for his audience at the expense of his vision. We know he doesnt consider his shoes art due to his explanation for the title of his album Life of Pablo. He said it was named after three pablos he relates too. Saint Paul, the greatest mover of faith, Pablo escobar the greatest mover of product, which he compared to his shoes, and Pablo Picasso, the greatest mover of art, which he compared to his music. Kanye has immense, gaping flaws, but he is dedicated to his art.
@@lyricsfromsweden bro what are you talking about karl malone doesn’t have a single ring the only rapper with more grammys than kanye is jay z that’s a terrible comparison
@@amw4067 Steve Kerr has as many rings as Kobe, are they the same calibre of player? Macklemore has more grammy's than say Rakim, Nas, 2pac, Biggie, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan, The Roots, Kool G Rap etc. Is Macklemore one of the greatest rappers of all time? Is Cardi B?
@@lyricsfromsweden Obviously Macklemore and Cardi b aren’t better than any of those people, but they also came in a time before rap was recognized at the grammys. The grammy comparison wasn’t to suggest that the grammys are how you measure how good a rapper is, but that kanye has been recognized for his achievement, unlike Karl Malone. Kanye is hands down the best hip hop artist of all time and it’s not even close.
@@amw4067 My point was that for this particular comparison championship rings are irrelevant. Personal accolades aren't though. Karl Malone is #2 at the scoring list of all time, 2x MVP, 14x All-Star, 11x All NBA First Team. So yes, Karl Malone has been recognized for his achievements. And I disagree that Kanye is the greatest hip-hop artist of all time. He's one of the greatest producers for sure, but he's not a particularly great rapper. He's good, but not nearly at the same level as the people I previously mentioned.
J dilla made beats so I be willing to wear suits. The armor of self respect is how to show up to work. Positive energy, dress up man, the code of work ethics are manners..manners..& acknowledge people. J dilla beats, his work acknowledges people. No short cuts, no alibis just deters no good creatures.
@@Dehangus 😂 can you help me understand? Dilla made beats so this guy can dress in comfortable clothes to go to work an office job? What’s the link? 🤷🏽♂️
@@kevindube7096 he already paved the way through rawness so Kanye could come in and have that upper opportunity. Kanye has to pay his credit and dues as he did to so many there because he is alike in being a pioneer. I think that’s what he was saying.
Bipolar disorder is like that I guess, some sane lucid moments and some not so much (slavery is a choice 😅) also remember this is pre 2015 Kanye, different guy
@@ColonelIke He’s someone that came from nothing and wouldn’t take a lifestyle forced in him so he meant you’re who you are by choice and to do something about it. Slavery to how media and ads want us to be. Not slavery how you thinking in the civil war era. Especially since he was talking to his people. They’re brought up to think the guns and gangs and cars and jewelry define who you are. You’re a slave to those ideas planted in you by choice. Get out of that and become who you really are. I’m not gonna say he’s always correct I hate what he’s doing with kim and Pete Davison he should leave her alone already and move on and let her be. But when he said that this about “slavery is a choice” this what he meant. Media flips it to say he’s saying people chose to be slaves during those times which isn’t what he said at all you know?
@@BboyZoinks His mother was a professor with a doctoral degree she got when Kanye was 3 yo and she was a teacher after that. His dad was a journalist, former black panther. He didnt come from nothing, he didnt grow up in the projects and certainly didnt grow up somewhere in the subsaharan desert surviving on fried maggots. he grew up in a chicago suburb for the most part. He finished high school, he went to college and decided to focus on music. his point about not conforming is completely lost once he takes it too far, and he always takes it too far. lot of people point to him, but why? Only cause he's successful. not cause he's a prodigy. He's wearing ugly rain boots and people are like "Oh man, Ye did again, what a genius". It's been like that with most everything he ever did. He is charasmatic, but that doesnt contradicts the mental issues, on the contrary.
@@maxmeier532 being brown to working class parents in Chicago doesn’t make you set for life. Tell that to every other kid there that unfortunately didn’t make it out of a retail job. He might take things too far but that’s just passion. Media takes shit way too far but that never gets mentioned. Yes I don’t like the boots and I’m not one of those people that agree 100% with everything he does but it works. Talk about his boots ideas etc. he’s selling shoes his stem player is selling he’s at a point where he’s legit his own boss to an extent aside from his def jam contract that constrains him. He’s the Elon musk of music. Dude got to where he is being himself and isn’t going to change. And why should he? It worked. Everyone’s just too god damn soft and sensitive nowadays
Dope Dilla face sticker on my back windshield rollin' around Detroit showing respect like I'm spose to. Dilla will always be amongst Motown's finest! Rest In Beats
I love Ye and I love Dilla… They are both “Artists” but in different ways. They both want to evolve continuously thru their craft. Dilla, was committed purely to production and sounds. Ye, was committed to pushing forward the musical influences that could be added, making the hip hop genre more accessible. Ye on the beat making will never, ever be close to reaching the nuance nor innovate-level of a Dilla, and Dilla was never going to be a producer on the level of a Ye. Dilla is like Mozart and Ye is like Claude Debussy.
Maybe because he around people who speak with that tone and cadence a lot so adjusting from his older “voice” to be understood by people he around nowadays
Oh man I'd like to not get on the 'old Kanye' train but I miss this Kanye. What hurts is that I know he is the same guy. He's just going through rough time for the last few years.
@@samylemzaoui2298 yeah I know, thats why its bullshit to me personally. The man's a mad genius who is exposed to shit ton of attention. He was eventually going to break I guess. Hope he is doing good I love the guy. I think he is honest at every step of the way and to me that is the most important thing.
@@OMGlvl86turtlepilot yeah I also feel like that. I dont care to be honest. He is clearly not a racist, clearly doesnt want children in cages when he talks about supporting trump. also around that time he said slavery is a choice but thats just a headline for people to hate. He was clearly trying to emphasize something deeper about his problems but he cant seem to clearly convey these complicated problems he have. he is just a pretty complicated guy that deserves a lot of freakin respect.
@@gunrodoplu true, i would honestly HATE to be famous in todays climate. kids are so quick to make judgements, usually based off misunderstandings or blatant lies.
@@gradyhulshof2901 nah, the media gives u what you see. What u dont see is what hes actually doing. When you climb up in the ranks, u have to make your life even more private cause of the many leeches out there trying to do shiesty things such as stella your money, threaten your family, hes no longer a millionaire now, or the new kid on the block selling beats for decent income. This mans a billionaire, a mogul in his own right.
@Kai McCook It really isn’t that deep. He was just stating that it’s unfortunate to lose great minds. Nothing he said here was crazy. You’re literally looking for something wrong.
@Kai McCook so you don’t like the names he said because they’re too common? And you think he’s predictable?? Just say you don’t like him and move on lol.
@Kai McCook I’m mainly defending the usage of the word crazy with him. It’s very common to call any black man that doesn’t agree with the mainstream platform “crazy” and Kanye has been victim to this several times. I just noticed you weren’t the one who called him crazy but meh it touches a nerve. Everyone is cringey, sorry Kanye can’t be profound every second. I respect him for trying
