Geordi La Forge (played by LeVar Burton) from Star Trek: The Next Generation
wack
808s has been my theme music this morning, while I’ve been downloading all that Donald Byrd (thanks Gotty!)
does he gain new fans with this latest release? I hope so
does he lose old fans with this latest release? well, if he does, those are the fans he doesn’t need, and they can go back to listening to Primo and Jedi Mind Tricks…
if y’all like eating the same meal over and over and over again, then that’s on you…I fucks with sushi, Thai, Jamaican, soul food…
lol @ Geordie La Forge, I was thinking more along the lines of Afrika Bambaataa…
^ lol, him too
My favorite 808 Track.
definitely Geordi LaForge with a Reading Rainbow Pastelle jacket to match
I’ll admit I don’t have a good copy, but Ye’s album sound like one looongg ass song to me. I keep tryin to get into 808, it’s like Cedric the Entertainer say “it never quite…curled”
lol @ Mr. Royale & Thugnificence
Hooooorrible. Y’all really feelin’ this? I guess Nas was right.
808 & Heartbreaks does have blips of tolerable listening points, but it does seem redundant and unfinished to me. Its like if you buy the album its gonna be … the love lockdown song with the words “you lose … you lose” on repeat … for 12 tracks. lol.
why cant he just cry like normal people. Do you really have to fuck with my hiphop.
^ lol
Kanye West starring in Tron

TEEF, ain’t nothing wrong with knowing what you like and sticking to it. I may be the biggest sushi lover in the world, but I’ll never know cause I don’t fucks with raw fish (or whatever else they put in it) and I’m healthy and happy that way.
As far as this album goes, even if you judge it by non-rap standards, it still fails. Unfinished and boring are the words that come to mind. I actually dozed off during the first song and I never ever take naps during the day. I guess the album is good for that.
U know u want that jacket!!!
And we all got glasses at the Glow in the Dark Tour.
“Taking a sample, looping it and doing all that ‘throw your hands up in the sky’ thing has become such a cliché. Hip-hop is over for me”.
So says Kanye in an interview with Britain’s Daily Telegraph…
Read the interview here:

I get the feeling Kanye thinks he’s created a 21st century “Here, My Dear”, but I think it falls well short, musically and lyrically (to say nothing of vocally of course).
RE: comment #17:
a lot of us feel that way.
that was in reference to kanye’s quote, btw. :)
although, as gotty noted, i do look at the LP as a 21st century here my dear, but that’s in the grand scheme. I dig kanye but he ain’t my marvin. lol
Yo, for a man, sorry, for an artist to express and do what he needs to do is respectable. If he’s done with hip hop, let him be done with hip hop. I still see this as hip hop. Shit, the title of the album has hip hop in it. 8-0-8 is the founding break beat of our culture. He’s comin’ back with a hip hop album next spring/summer according to a couple interviews. If you lost your mom, fiance, and sanity in a year, wouldn’t you want to keep occupied, artistically and mentally. Also, at the same time express those feelings in the only way you know how, through the only true expression you have left and has always been there for you, hip hop. That’s what Common did on Electric Circus, but shit we said that he sold out and it wasn’t common sense, it was space ship music, it wasn’t hip hop. Go back and listen to that album now, and tell me it’s not Kanye’s album, or any Outkast album, or an album that was ahead of it’s time. Time is always the true judge in these things. I know even though the new Q-tip came out, I’m still listening to Amplified.
