Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot
I can’t wait ’til we finally get this fool all the way back. Bring on the music, Ye! Anxiously waiting.
Great blog post. He is the realest artist out there right now. We are about to get a classic from Kanye West. Can’t wait for his new album!
cool rant but still sick of seeing these kanye rants where he thinks his message is gods gift to the world
is kanye’s caps lock button broken?
KANYE IS DEPRESSED…IMO!
I don’t care what anyone says about this guy his music speaks for itself he is a legend point blank period and without him Hip Hop and especially Pop music in general would go 100% to the shits instead of 50% like it already has..the other 50% is Kanye West keep that Good music coming Mr. West and no more Henny plz
keep your head up Kanye waiting on your next album peace
WHAT THE GAME’S BEEN MISSING! PASSION! THE NEED TO BE HEARD! GOOD ASS JOB KANYE! ANOTHER CLASSIC ON THE WAY!
Can’t wait for it ‘Ye , all us real fans of hip hop are waiting on that classic album!
Bring on the next album, Ye. Your fans are patiently waiting.
KANYE SOUNDS DEPRESSED…I’M SO GLAD HE’S IN STUDIO RELEASING ALL HIS EMOTIONS
He’s absolutely on some elevation of the art form innovator shit. For that I rock with Ye. Brilliant n inspirational.
This was some of the realest stuff I’ve seen and Kanye has always been one of the realest artists and figures in Pop Culture to me. Anyone hating or making jokes about what he says just are too cowardly to be individuals and speak their mind, so they love to shun anyone else doing it. Those people will be the ones no one will remember or care about. Have fun being a nobody.
all these celebs committing suicide because of depression, hope Ye’ can keep blogging and making his music and keep us all entertained.
I can respect anyone that opens themselves the way he does..But I’d just like him to rap. I’ve realized today, I’m not intereste. In his rants/blogs
this is not a rant i dont know why ppl keep writing that its a rant its just him expressing how he feels about creativity. yea he rants on his blog but this is not one of those times.
I have a feeling like his next album is gonna classic material….can’t wait for that!
Truthfully..
I’d sell my soul too
kuz It dnt matter in the end.
Shit
THE MAN’S GOIN THROUGH SOME SHIT,
FUCK TAYLOR SWIFT!!! (JUST WANTED SAY THAT)
LEAST HE’S WRITIN THO WHETHER IT’S IN RHYMES OR NOT.
I THINK KANYE MISS HIS OLD MUSIC N SELF!!!! HE MISS HOW HE CREATED CLASSICS!!!! HE FEEL HE GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE BULLSHIT THE INDUSTRY N FAME GETS U INTO!!!! HE WANNA GO BACK TO HIS ROOTS!!!! HE MISS THE OLD KANYE!!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
I agree Mac Diesel.
The way he’s been speaking makes me think he’s about to be back on some 2004 Classic Kanye ish, with a 2010 Twist.
Somebody steal this niggas caps lock button. Break it in fact. Just do something. Please. For the children.
I agree with those that think his next album will be a classic. That’s what Ye is, a great MUSIC ARTIST.
He’s not a philosopher, as much as he’d like to be one. There are facts. People have their opinions…… but somebody’s right.
Hope he gets healed inside. Seems like he needs it.
<3 kanye.. but that was too long. lol.
College Dropout is one of my FAVORITE cds. Kanye definitely needs to go look back at that…
This Guy Is A Genius
i really dont got the patience to read that right now
why cant he type like a normal person again ?
Oh please “genius” and “classic “…everyone is repeating what the person said prior…nothing but a bunch FOLLOWERS and SHEEPS! This shit is a bunch of words labeled as being “creative” and you niggas is talking like this man saved your fucking life…you niggas are UNREAL and EASILY convinced that saying NOTHING makes one a GENIUS!
[...] Hit the jump for Ye’s post. Spotted: Kanye (via RR) [...]
@Please
I personally didn’t say dude was a genius, but he did say some good things that made sense to me and should be to most people. So what’s your damage? You Mad? (Cam’ron Voice)
If you click on the type the link leads to a photo of Slick Rick. Classic
Kanye listening to College Drop Out? Wow, I’m suprised he remebers being black.
Where’s the exclamation marks?
GOOD ASS JOB!!! = CLASSIC FUCKIN’ ALBUM!! SO MANY GOOD ALBUMS COMIN THIS YEAR AND THIS MITE BE THE BEST…ONE THING I LIKE ABOUT KANYE IS HE FUCKIN CARES ABOUT HIS MUSIC AND PUTS ALL OF HIS EFFORT INTO IT…HIP HOP WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER IF MORE ARTISTS WERE LIKE HIM!
People are so damn stupid it makes me sad. Especially people on the internet. This isn’t a rant and he’s not depressed. Why everytime someone digs beneath the surface they have to be called “weird” or “crazy” or “depressed”? Can someone just not say what they’re feeling at the time? If you relate, you relate. If not, then it wasn’t meant for you.
kayne’s so conscious right now, it’s not even funny. for those who don’t understand his post, just aren’t there yet.
@please
Maybe he’s finally going through the grieving process. He said himself he never took any time off to grieve. That Taylor Swift bulls*** forced him to do that, which was good. It’s all healthy.
But on another note, if it is depression speaking, and we don’t know, it just means we need to appreciate our artists, and legends a little more. We do tend to take and take, and then criticize when they don’t give us what we want. Look at how a lot of us moan over mixtapes not dropping on time… How many actually buy the retail projects? We gotta stop being so selfish cause we make our artists crazy from the stress of it all.
god ass job & R.E.D.
2010
For people that’s saying this is a rant, or that nigga’s depressed…you are proving his point that everything is just an opinion. My opinion…he’s talking. The day that typed words can give vocal tone and non-verbal communication, that’s the day I’ll look at typed words more than just typed words. And even if he’s ranting again, or typing in ALL CAPS…it’s his blog! Don’t like it? Go to wordpress or blogger and do your own shit.
@Please
I agree. Kanye is not God. I can agree that he makes good music without sucking up and saying he’s all “deep” everytime he opens his mouth. The general public is so easily persuaded. And I work in marketing so I know the BS we feed yall and yall eat it up!
This isn’t marketing tho it’s just thoughts coming from a pretty popular figure in our culture sooooooooooo I’m really not sure what the problem is here niggas need to lighten up a bit lol
He’s never going back to his old style, that’s the whole point of this bullshit post..kanye has absoultely no intention of doing anything at all that adheres him to the genre of hip hop IMO either that or he’s going to continue to try and conform hip hop to his likings until skinny jeans and shags and lesbian wives are the standard
Go fuck yourself as I am sure he is already stealing ideas from someone else. He would not know creativity if it fuck him a darker shade of black
Who really cares.
fuck ebro! worst PD/MD EVER!! how the fuck you dont recognize a hit like thru the wire?? dudes a piece of shit & dick rider. that fucker is partly responsible for all the shitty music heard on “urban” radio
