Agree.

Makes good albums for the most part.

Bit of a **** but who cares.

He will bounce back with his new record I think.

Not that bothered about the one with Kid Cudi.

Joint one probably will be 909s and heartbreaks or something like that(808s and heartbreaks was a really good album tbh, underrated because Kanye isn't really rapping on the album, but how many people decided to autotune because of Kanye?).

The solo Kanye album is gonna be lit tbh. The good thing about Kanye is how he constantly evolves his style album to album. He's timeless. Everyone copies Kanye. Heck J Cole's entire music style is basically Kanye circa 2005. He's one of the first rappers who made it in the business big big time not talking about how he slangs birds and will shoot up people too.(obviously you had Outkast before).

Speaking of Outkast, I find it weird how they blew so late in their career? I guess they made more commercial appealing songs Stankonia onwards and the South was starting to go big in the scene at the time.

It's one of my favourites of his and nowhere near as bad as people try to make out. Some really good stuff on it and I rate him for trying to do something different.

They were very young when they put their first album out, like 18/19 but yeah doing it with your fourth album is unusual in Hip-Hop & Stankonia is a bit of a weird album to blow up with imo it's more abrasive in sound than Aquemini which was like an RnB album I suppose it just goes to show it's about the singles really.

What's your favourite album of theirs?

Hard question. I'm a big fan of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below but I like their first album a lot too(always forget how to spell it), has that kinda grimey amateur 90s feel, Almost like a hybrid of the East Coast boom bap and West Coast funk. They're another group where they push boundaries and explore different concepts which I like.

Jay/Kanye obviously did it with their first albums but both had a pretty good team with them and obviously is way more talented/business minded than the average rapper. People usually tend to do it with their second album, unless they've got a good team and have been on features/mixtapes. Drake blew after his first album but obviously gained recognition from the mixtapes and being pretty marketable/business savvy, plus with Wayne+Birdman investing in you(instead of taking your money) you are pretty much set as long as you have decent music.

Kendrick did it with his 2nd album but was releasing mixtapes like it was nothing before hand.

I think I still prefer Forest Hills Drive. That and Born Sinner are timeless for me, I've never got bored of them.

On a UFC note, a fully fit Kevin Lee beats or comes close to beating Tony Ferg imo. Think Tony is a well rounded good fighter who can withstand a beating which has aided his winstreak, but he'll come undone by the elites and I think Lee will be part of that equation soon. Kevin will need a bit more experience and his chin is still up to debate, you saw when he ate that head kick, although to his credit his reaction was more or less perfect.
Tony's BJJ provides a bit of an unknown because it comes down to whether he'll be able to tie the other person up but I think as long as any of the top wrestlers are careful they'll put a beatdown on Tony and win by decision.

I dig it. I haven't listened to many new people recently, just a few Tory Lanez bangers but mostly a mix of Majid Jordan and Plaza.

Ain't seen much of Kevin Lee tbh. Haven't watched last nights Fight night either. Ferguson is a good fighter but I don't think he has enough in him to beat those at the top, especially not Khabib and his ground game.
Speaking of Khabib though, what did you make out of his fight vs Iaquinta. Can't really take away too much from it because of the shambles during that week, but I think Iaquinta presented him self very well during the fight and did well to shake off Khabib's take-downs.

Forest Hills drive has bangers but I lowkey think For your eyes only is the better album.

Ain't half a bad tune either. Think I prefer this style of J cole over Forest Hills drive/Cole world in general.
