808s, his most depressive album of his career is his stadium album? Was this a typo? I could accept Grad maybe.

There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. I think you’re right.

Are you serious? Dude completely changed hip hop, multiple times. Absolutely massive innovator in production style, and basically created the chipmunk soul style of production. He would be considered one of the most important figures in hip hop even if he never even released an album, just for his production work with Jay Z.

The College Dropout was a landmark record for hip hop, for many reasons.

Then he had another landmark record in 808s, popularizing the use of auto tune and melodicism in hip hop (not a trend in hip hop I loved, but you can’t deny the influence here).

Then he had another landmark record in MBDTF, bringing hip hop to the absolute front and center of pop culture. Completely bombastic and basically the HH equivalent of a stadium rock album. Collabs with Justin Vernon and samples from King Crimson brought in fans of rock to hip hop like never before.

Yeezus is slowly showing itself to be more and more influential as well, though this one was delayed a bit but we’re seeing more and more high profile disciples.

Anyone that denies the influence of Kanye is completely ignorant. He’s a piece of shit, sure. But his music has been incredibly important and to deny that is absolutely ridiculous.

Man I miss their VC stuff. I’ve liked their albums less and less with each release.

Fuck Kanye but at the same time he’s one of the most important and influential musicians of my generation and you bet your ass I’m gonna listen to it and everything he’ll put out from now until perpetuity. I’ll just pirate it so he doesn’t get the proceeds.

Only a matter of time before striking becomes illegal. Nothing is going to happen unless a general strike happens among all industries.

Honestly, with the way Mexicos leadership/politics and economy is heading, it’s positioned to be a decent power, and potentially be a more desirable location to live than the US sometime in the next century. Big fan of AMLO and hope he is setting them on a good trend. It’s probably only a matter of time before the US intervenes and makes sure they don’t go too far left though, so maybe I shouldn’t get my hopes up.

Beatles: Hard Days Night - Tomorrow Never Knows

David Bowie: Suffragette City - Warzsawa

Miles Davis: 'Round Midnight - Miles Runs the Voodoo Down

Radiohead: Creep - Kid A

Beach Boys: California Girls - Wind Chimes

Kanye West: Jesus Walks - Black Skinhead

It is when you start assuming non-bigots are bad people because of what they look like.

My three favorite artists are Miles Davis, David Bowie, and Kanye West. Three artists that changed their sound every single album.

So no.

I have the Leaf 2 and would highly recommend. Works great, and is much better for your eyes. I use it every day.

My dude is about to become a Scooby Doo villain

My brain doesn’t really process lyrics. Vocals are just another instrument to me.

First of all, I’d say that In a Silent Way birthed Fusion more than this album, but Bitches Brew was probably more influential.

Also, Davis was also hugely responsible for modal jazz with Kind of Blue. An absolute landmark record and probably the biggest turning point in jazz.

It’s so good I ended up listening to Rated R right after I posted this.
