damn man that's actually crazy🤯kanye was so ahead of his time with everything. every single upcoming AND big artist nowadays be dropping snippets/music visualizers with songs in sync with anime.
Anytime Mos speaks, I am so happy. He was the first east coast hip hop artist that I listened to consciously. Each time I hear Black on Both Sides I am taken back to the first time I heard it, and I am so grateful for the person who put me on to him ❤.
Man I forgot how much I missed Mos. Also idgaf what "they" say about Ye I will always love him. You'll always be crazy to those who are not on your level
I don't necessarily disagree with you but thinking like that all the time is an easy way to dismiss valid claims. Its not always about jealousy, some ppl just care about u enough to tell u yo shit stink 🤷🏾♂️
I had just graduated high school like 4 months before Graduation came out and I remember I went and bought the album and at the bottom of the receipt it actually said Team Kanye and had the stats for Kanye and 50s album sales lol that shit turned into an official competition that year!
@@jaydrains2247 I swear bro it was at FYE I wish now that I had kept it, but I remember like it was yesterday it had both their total sales up to that date and it said Team Kanye on it, I was only 18 at the time so didn’t think about keeping it.
I have a homie that smokes a blunt and puts on old black and white cartoons with the volume off and plays hip hop when watching the cartoons and it always synced up with the cartoons
Kanye was an art student and he made use of that side of him in his early works. He was huge and he made a great impact and let's not forget this was back when MTV was still our go to source for videos, stories and all of it. 50 cent was huge as well and I'm never gonna take anything away from his time period as well. Respect both of them at that point in time. I sincerely miss those days.
Mos Def is one of Hip-hop and R@b's Living Legends. Incredible lyricist, writer, actor, rapper, mc, producer. That battle of sales between Kanye West vs. 50 Cent was epic in entertainment. Two amazing and awesome legendary albums/records.
I remember that, it was a major shift in hip hop from that time to now. Hip hop went from being the coolest guy to being the most artistic and creative person
I was a little kid and i remember stealing the album lol...i was old enought when jcole and kanye dropped and i remember waiting outisde for Bestbuy to open and copping both albums since i was a fan of bith
@@lol-nd5rz How??? I don't know how to do that on here. I told the truth and U labeled me a liar....Why do U all do that??? I even twitted to Yé and told him I would like it singed.
@@ajatathemu He lost inside the USA just in 2007, the world always prefered 50, Curtis sold more than Graduation around the world, Get Rich Or Die Tryin alone sold more than every Kanye Álbum.
I LOVE Kanye's first 3 albums.. every song.. those albums are my "NRG" list I wish I kept it on repeat to avoid some chaos I faced... Shit is super motivational to me
Bonjour Cher Mos , vraiment superbe représentation de tant de vérité, d'émotions avec enfin 1 homme qui explique son opinion avec sagesse plein de poésie et Merci à toi...Grande Maison des mots qui touche mon petit 💜 peace forever pour tant de respect , From French in Drôme provençale Affectueusement ...🌈☯️🎵🌹🌹
Im from Chi and I love the first 3, can’t stand My beautiful… I’ve tried many times. His early mixtapes were fire too. I do like 808s although I don’t love it
Mos Def in next day air... The scene in the ups van .... They told him to turn around and he kept turning CLASSIC!!! . the flow of that move ! Funny as shit!! Very very talented!!!
The interview is BS and I unsubscribed from revolt and drink champs because of it. The original show was almost 2hrs maybe a little more. It was up for a day. They took it down and uploaded the 💩 that's up there now. EFN and NORE are paid for at this point. Dave and Yasiin were on there dropping absolute gems. And them boys hella scary over there. Garbage.
*2007 what a beautiful year.. But in my opinion kanye only won because he was tooo mainstream.. 50 was everywhere in 07 also, but he was still a little street.. Curtis was a phenomenal album.. I'm still listening to it.. For me 50 is the real winner*
Black is beautiful, everything we touch is gold. We changed the world. So pure, everything else is artificial, copycats. The piano in the background, confirms truth. Can you hear the piano co-sign. Nice piece
I remember that era but I thought Kanye was going against 50 Cent's, The Massacre, not Get Rich Or Die Trying. Whoever won had to stop making music for a certain period of time. Kanye and 50 cent were pretty much even but Kanye had the edge and I think that played a huge part on why 50 didn't make much music for a while. He pretty much kept his word but it affected his musical career. (Unless he did so because he thought he had nothing to lose. 🤔) Respect.✊🏽
The tides shifted away from gangster rap too. It rare that it last more than a few years before people want a change. Also part of the reason 50 was the biggest debut ever, people then needed something different than all the main steam hip hop which was soft in 02
I luv Ye, he’s real talent . For y’all that call him trash & have your negative opinions about him obviously don’t have the capacity or knowledge to see & UNDERSTAND what he’s been saying/ telling us is nothing be the truth.
