KRS-One is a senile old chump

[The Padster]

It's a shame, I have a lot of respect for him but he's clearly getting old and growing out of touch with hip-hop today...

CHECK THIS CRAZY ASS NIQQA

[Kid Presentable]

No offense, but the day an 18 year old kid from England is in the position to dictate to KRS the validity of his opinions is the day it starts raining noodles. It's not an insult, so no need for a witty rejoinder.

[The Padster]

His opinions are valid, anyone's opinions are valid, but he's clearly out of touch with how the music is changing recently.

I haven't listened to Fiddies last album and I don't plan to, but Graduation Day sucked sour frog ass. Utter crap.

I mean, Kanye is a bit of a knob.

You jus' don't know hip-hop, baby pa!

CHECK IT

meh he can be. But were talking strictly music based and 5O aint seeing Kanye...now keep in mind Kanye has the upper hand since he IS producer but Kanyes is improving as a song writer while 5Os stagnate.

1 the main reasons 5O LP lost 1st week cause people were more sick of his knobish behavior then Kanye.

5O got his $$$, he created an image made based round his past life and won.

What an insightful critique.

I really liked and still listen to Kanyes first album a lot, but Graduation Day pained me, I found no worthwhile beats or lyrics when I heard it. Your comment is valid, of course, but I cannot give you a better critique as I won't listen to it again, with great new stuff from Aesop or Sage Francis around . What bothers me is that a lot of arguments here are about sales figures and mass appeal, which you should not judge "What is rap/hip hop" by. Or do you really?

You act as if 5O (with guest from Em, Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Nicole of Pussycat fame) isnt aiming 4 the same audience 'Ye is. If 5O was just aiming 4 the "streets" he wouldnt have tracks like "Amusement Park", "Follow My Lead" or have more records sold then proclaimed "street rappers" like Wayne,Jadakiss,Fat Joe,etc.Street folk arent the main ones buying his shit.If Ye was aiming at a different audience why "Cant Tell Me Nothing"(charting on the RAP aka street billboard),even "Crack Music"?SMH.
