Wow, you're totally right. I AM young -- 12 years old to be exact -- and the most important things in my life are anime and video games. In fact, that's all I ever think about, ever. A wild shot in the darkness, and yet you've hit your mark. How on Earth did you guess?

You're also right in saying that the only hip hop that exists, besides the select few artists that you've listened to, is the commercial mainstream. There are, of course, hundred, perhaps even thousands, of other artists in the underground and mainstream whom you've never heard of and whose work you couldn't even begin to accurately appraise. Lyrical complexity, flow, socially conscious subject matter, the intricacies of rhyme scheme -- things you could never appreciate. But all of that doesn't matter, because if you, the great omniscient Zarabyte, haven't heard of it, then it holds no importance in the "real world" which you so pridefully inhabit. The exception, namely "Coolio and a 'few' others," need not apply. When assessing an entire genre of music, the most suitable course of action is to completely disregard all artists except the most vapid and insipid (and consequently the most successful) lyricists and then to condemn said genre (rather than the current nature of the music industry) by drawing an inordinate amount of attention to its social impacts.

Your logic is impeccable, your biases as mythical as your cognitive ability

@2005chuy i'm guessing mccartney wrote the actual song

i cant believe people actually like this music...

Didn't like it at all. What part did paul mcartney even take part in? I skipped through it twice and didn't hear him.

Haven't listened to it amd I won't willingly listen to it. I'm not a fan of the genre of music, or of Kanye.

it was pretty good
the autotune provided for an interesting aesthetic but i still would have preferred the song without it
also i think instead of autotune it should be just natural voice
also instead of kanye's voice it should be paul mccartney's voice

@zarabyte
you've clearly not listened to very much hip hop at all
i'm personally not that into it but hip hop can be great, great stuff

[quote=ZaraByte]Rap and Hip Hop music is trash one day if you kids get to be my age and you look around at the rap and hip hop music world you will understand where im coming from it its not good for the youth to listen teaching the wrong kinda stuff i used to listen to that kinda stuff in the 90's only difference is rappers like Coolio and a few others were not into downgrading women and disrespecting other people.[/quote]

shut uuuup... you wouldn't know hip hop if it slapped your fat ass in the face. I bet you got all of will smiths CD's you corny scrub.

kanye's always been changing the game since Late Registration and College Dropout so i expect nothing less from him in 2015

Hip-Hop and Rap was good until the early 2000's
