Yeah, I usually take that approach, but what I heard was just so painfully awful. Had a visceral reaction to it. No. No.

Get real. Kanye doesn't suck and he isn't awful. Peak Kanye is pretty darn good.

I love when nerdy white dudes opine on the best hip hop, progressive rap albums of all time.

Your right. White people can’t have opinions on music.

I'm with TCuz on this one. Kanye is one of the top, if not the top, hiphop artists of all time! I know its not just Ye

It was just an FYI. Not pedantry.
