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.

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.

What’s hilarious is conservatives absolutely hate Strongtowns too, and pretty much all their policy goals are the opposite of the goal of ST. Even though Chuck Morohn is deeply conservative, he can’t really face that truth.

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.

Tbh a good percentage of Americans would turn down a million dollars if it meant minorities didn’t get it.

Monopoly can actually be a pretty quick game if you play by the rules. Which literally nobody does.

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

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

I mean they have a point though. We don’t have a progressive party in the US. We have a status quo party (which is usually the conservative party) and we have a far right party.

Donda by Kanye could be a top 5 album of his potentially if it were cut by half to about 45 min.
