they're amusingly ignorant/sh*t to me

but yours are just mildly clever and boring imo

i don't really get a kick out of one liners like that tbh

clever = boring
ignorant = amusing

I hate you.

I don't get it... How are those more memorable or appealing than lines like:

"Other cats don't measure well like ounces on a metric scale"
or
"I've seen more holding cells than salesman at Verizon stores"

No comparison imo.

Is one set of lyrics supposed to be better than the other?

Why you gotta troll me so hard?

mildly clever

it's like a joke that you get and the punchline makes sense but it doesn't arouse a comedic response

where as this joke:



is actually funny :laughing:

So you're saying all the other artists should take up vocal duties, and the producers and Kanye should just be on production? Or Kanye out of the picture entirely? That was a peculiar post

It was an honest question. Both sets of lyrics aren't very impressive.

DwnWthVwls 03-08-2015 10:01 PM

Post some bars up that you find impressive.. I was just trying to give examples of what I consider to be clever wordplay.

The use of holding cells in the second quote is pretty great to me. It's not easy to come up with double meanings, at least not for me.

No, I'm saying his production and rapping are bad but he's apparently good at getting talented people in a room together. So what I'd love to see is him contributing nothing to "his" albums except being sort of a project coordinator. I mean that's almost what he is already, aside from the fact that he insists on spitting a few terrible verses over the tracks. Remove that and the collective that's left might release something pretty good.

If you like Kanye's (collective) production but not necessarily his rapping, this might be of interest to you: DatPiff

Then again, Jon Connor may not do it for you either. You'd probably have to settle for the Yeezus Christmas parody album at that point.
