The Devil In A New Dress Corollary states that the closer we get to endgame capitalism in the United States, the more Kanye and Rick Ross look identical. As the government collapses and red state residents begin being eaten by sentient alligators, they will merge into one superbeing with a beard so big it covers their chains.

I know it’s because of his jaw thing but the older and fatter Kanye gets the more his head looks like an aged pumpkin that somebody squashed with their rear end a little bit.

I'm not the biggest fan of his vocals and his lyrics always come off as amateurish imo but I absolutely love his production. Spotify has the instrumental version of Black Ben Carson and I've listened to it a bunch over the years.

Are previous fans of his going back on their word and saying "actually I think his music wasn't that good"? I assume "kanye always sucked" is still an unpopular opinion, but this is the only place I read opinions on rap so maybe you're right.

E: VVV I'm talking about his music. Kanye has def always sucked as a person, I doubt anyone disagrees with that. Saying his first four albums suck is wild to me tho idk.

If you really want to find some musical reason why Kanye west first couple albums were bad one could point out that he basically got washed by every feature he ever had up until like….dark fantasy? But the music was still good

i thought the review of kanye via the review of rxk nephew's kanye diss track was pretty spot on. from the POW best of 2023 list:

pow posted:

You never believe that you’re in a personality cult. It’s only after the leader does something truly deranged – invite a federal siege, dispatch a team of feral assassins to murder a perceived rival, try to manifest the fourth Reich – when people start to question their allegiances. For the few of us who have long been incredulous about the “I am Steve Jobs and Pablo Picasso and Walt Disney” genius of Kanye, its been a particularly insufferable two decades. That’s not to say that Kanye didn’t make some of the best music of his generation. It’s more that his zealous disciples wielded their power to forgive a never-ending litany of embarrassing corniness, messianic delusions, and aesthetic crimes. And they happened to be a fundamental component of the millennial Hypebeast internet.

I can’t argue that Kanye isn’t one of the most creative producers of this century. For all of the megalomania, the Yeezus tour date at Staples remains one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. No amount of Donald Trump bootlicking, 13th Amendment revisionism, or Mein Kampf book clubs, can alter his impact on music.

But it’s worth re-examining the signs that always lay just under the surface in a man who eventually found kinship in genocidal dictators, oligarchic ghouls, convicted sex offenders, and the most spiritually deadening aspects of consumerist culture. The man who All City Jimmy once described as “2Pac for only children.” A shallow power-obsessed tyrant who swore by Mr. Hudson, Big Sean, and Desiigner, whose sense of humor mostly amounted to repeating Will Ferrell and Austin Powers punchlines, whose ugly and overpriced clothed line brought to life the Derelicte bit from Zoolander.

To extend the analogy in terms that he can understand, sometimes you are so hot that you can take a crap, wrap it in tinfoil, put a couple fish hooks on it and sell it to Queen Elizabeth as earrings. But eventually, Queen Elizabeth dies, you lose your billion-dollar Adidas deal, your ex-wife disavows you, and you make largely unlistenable music for nearly a decade. Finally, you receive the executioner you deserve, RXK Nephew.

It’s easy to attack Kanye for the conspiratorial mania of the last seven years. The live Karaoke performances of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the Mar-A-Lago play dates with white supremacists, the failed religious academy deemed “unsafe, unregulated, unsanitary” and that only served sushi to children. Each publicity stunt and nonsensical rant is more pathetic and stupid than the last. But it’s pretty clearly the mania of a deeply unwell man who needs serious psychiatric care.

This is also one of the reasons why “Yeezy Boots” is so devastating. Neph isn’t tripping about the “poo poo that he said.” He’s tripping about them dumb rear end “Yeezy Boots.” Forget the contemptible politics and unforgivable racism, he’s demolishing the premise of the false idol.

Let’s check the scoreboard:

“G.O.O.D. Music made bad music:” largely accurate and if you don’t believe me, I have a used GLC CD to sell you.

“All Kanye’s raps mediocre:” 93.9 percent true, with the principal exceptions of the “New Slaves” verse, the second verse of “No More Parties in L.A., and maybe a dozen others where his charisma and presence defeat a clumsy flow and tinny voice. It’s also worth noting that there’s something inherently fraudulent about building a religion around your beliefs when you aren’t even writing the testament. And look, Rhymefest is no John the Baptist.

“Remember when he had that dumbass haircut?”:



Kanye performed with his rear end out/How you gon’ tell me it’s not about clout?: Even ardent zealots can’t argue here. There can only be one Prince. And Prince never needed to be this desperate to drum up attention. He only had to be Prince. Kanye will always be the insecure dork with braces desperately trying to freestyle for TGIF Fridays waitresses in Times Square.

The name Yeezy was never cool: Unequivocal.

“You look like a fool with them big rear end boots. That’s why Jay-Z don’t even like you.” I’m sure there are plenty of other reasons why Jay-Z doesn’t like him, but this seems as good as any.

I won’t you tell you that everything in “Yeezy Boots” is a fact, but it’s probably the best music criticism of 2023. Like B.I.G., even when he’s wrong, Dr. Neph gets his point across.

Here is validation for those “free thinkers” who never would have subscribed to Kanye’s YouTube. It’s an all-time great rap diss, equally hilarious and devastating, caustic and absolutely loving absurd. A reminder that artists aren’t deities to worship, they’re flawed and temperamental mortals. And it’s okay, you don’t have to delete those old photos of you looking stupid in Stunner Shades. It’s just worth remembering that there’s a difference between what’s cool and what’s trendy.

Skepticism is necessary, lest you wind up making your personality a mirror image of a tragic figure and cautionary tale that embodies the worst of American malfunction. All those years where you were being called a hater – maybe you were just being honest, maybe you just didn’t like it.
