    I thouroughly disagree and view the entire album along with the majority of tracks as being mediocre.

    And what made the album mediocrity to you? The lyrical content isn't as raw as Shady and Shady Aftermath as a whole usually is, but they're use of metaphors, instrumentals, punchlines, and passion overpowers any and all flaws the album has. Sure there are a couple of mainstream tracks, ut in order for your album to be commercially successful, wouldn't you need to go with the flow a bit?

    And are you saying tracks like Jimmy Crack Corn, You Dont Know, Public Enemy Number One, Trapped, By My Side, Ski Max Remix, and Murder were mediocre tracks? Eminem, Cashis, D12, Stat Quo and Lloyd Banks butchered a pig just to go H.A.M.

    Ye was working with Jay before Black Album. He actually produced "Takeover" which you probably know was Jay Z's best song to come up out of his beef with Nas. He also produced "Encore" and "Lucifer" off Blueprint 2.

    Yeezy might be a great producer, but my beliefs are different about his skills as a rapper and that is what my diss against him and his label was directed towards. You can have an awesome beat with a catchy chorus, but if there is no intelligence nor strategy approached in the lyricism, then I will not like the track (i.e !@#$%* in Paris, Snapbacks and Tattoos, Headlines). What I am trying to change in the rap game, is all the dullness and the overuse of slanguage. If you just rap as if you never went to school nor had an education, it will be really ironic calling your rhymes poetry (which is what every rapper calls their raps).

    You can not like Kanye, that's fine. I just disagree with your assessment. Watch the Throne would've been entirely different production-wise (and Jay Z rarely brings his best work out without Kanye on a track, exemption being "Hate" off Blueprint 3). And Pusha did good on most tracks, New God Flow is just an example of his best work. Did you listen to his Fear of God 2 mixtape? It bumps, and he almost makes drug dealing sound pretty scary instead of glorifying it. He's kinda like a less ADHD Meek Mill. The faces he makes in the booth are pretty ridiculous though if you watch some of the GOOD freestyles with Funk Flex. Another good thing about Cruel Summer is that it got Creepers out of Cudi's dungeon.

    Jay-Z was one of the best emcees back in the day before he met Yeezy with the Black Album and Blueprints 1 and 2 being the best album Hov has produced.

    Watch the Throne was good for what it was: a braggadacio album. Even then, the production on it was pretty amazing (ie The Joy). And you're ignoring the fact that just before WTT, Kanye put out possibly the best rap album since Jay Z started running New York. As far as Cruel Summer, group collaborations usually tend to fall short due to the range the group spans. It was good at giving CyHi the Prynce mainstream exposure, and "Sin City" even had Malik on it, giving him his first exposure to a really wide audience since "Would You Like to Ride?". Hit-Boy also had amazing co-production on "Higher". I don't see how you can call Pusha T's lyrics weak given he laid down a triple or quadruple entendre in "New God Flow". Overall, I'd say you aren't paying too much attention to the music and probably don't like Kanye, because your analysis is pretty off. You can say you don't like the artists, but you gave the wrong reasons. Also, 2 Chainz isn't signed, since now with digital sales you can get by without a deal.

    I am just not impressed with what Kanye has produced. The only time I remember where I actually liked one of his verses was in Run This Town, but that's it. I mean, Watch the Throne would've been a great album if Yeezy wasn't part of it and centered Jay-Z. I just can't stand his Chipmunk Voice, weak lyrics, rapping while wearing a skirt (that's fact, Im not using a metaphor how whack he is), and same, boring flow. I know 2Chainz isn't signed, but he is part of the G.O.O.D family and has received support by G.O.O.D Music to produce T.R.U. Story and its music videos. And just because Pusha killed it in one track, doesn't mean he goes hard. He needs to do that simultaneously. I admit Cruel Summer did catch various underground rappers in the eyes of the public, but that does not change my opinion about the quality it has put out. Check out The Re-Up Album by Shady Aftermath, if they could put up an awesome album starring 5 plus artists, so can G.O.O.D., but sadly, they dont have the same talent Shady Aftermath has.

    Nas is the greatest of all time. Lock post, end of discussion.

    I believe it falls between Eminem or 2Pac as the greatest emcee of all time, but Nas is one of my top ten though. And you, sir, clearly do not listen to Nas very often, do you? Nas has several songs that inspires the next generation to reach for their dreams (although I expect to work under the field of politics); just because he is one of the best rappers, that does not mean others should not try.

    Logic is one of the few young artists that I respect in the rap game. Most young rappers nowadays rap about the same factors that are destroying hip-hop (That's right, Im looking at you Chief Keef and Lil Twist). His verse on the XXL Freshmen 2013 Cypher was the best!

    As for Chance, I cant say the same as I did to Logic. He has great metaphors and knows how to flow, but he seems like he just sing-rapped throughout the verses in Acid Rap.

    I hope you post up some of your lyrics dude. I wanna hear what you got!

    What's wrong with G.O.O.D.? Kanye brought Common's career back, and introduced the world to John Legend and Mr. Hudson.

    Kanye is the creator and founder of G.O.O.D Music. He is the reason why the Watch the Throne Album was garbage, the Cruel Summer album was crap (note: it featured all signees of G.O.O.D Music), 2Chainz is crap, Big Sean is crap, Yeezy is crap. John Legend is a meh singer, but there is nothing special with his voice nor it astounds me. I like Pusha T's flow, but his lyrics are just as weak as YMCMB and Taylor Gang's. But I agree with you on the part about Common and Mr. Hudson, though.

    I knew 2Pac wasn't dead

    As much as I am overwhelmed by this comment and how much it has made my day, I cannot compare myself to Makaveli since no one can set the bar as high as Pac and Eminem has.

    Good men, let us please leave the past behind us and not hold grudges. If you just disgust the prescence of Mr. Laufeyson, then all you have to do is not click nor read any entries of his.

    Anyways, it is really surprising a guy like Loki said all that. Maybe that quote was his hint of an alien invasion against Earth according to the movies and comics, or his transformation to a woman to prove Thor he is no longer the God of Mischief as the Comic Books have presented to Earth 616 since both actions dramatically changed Loki as a being.
