I've read everything that RZA has said about Kanye and passing the torch. Obviously, my opinion is my opinion, and RZA's is what matters.. I don't have a problem with Kanye as a producer; however, I think his lyrical content is garbage and dislike basically everything about him personally. He seems like an arrogant, whiny, crybaby. His new songs are anthems for douche-bags, I can't get behind that really.. But I'm not the kind of person at the clubs bumping Kanye, I'm the kind of person listening to lyrics and seeing what people have to say. Kanye has nothing of any value, he's arrogant and stupid at the same time.
Now that doesn't mean he isn't very adept at making "popular" music, because he clearly is good at it. But I don't foresee his songs lasting into the future, they are poppy, shallow, and lack any meaning or message. Wu-Tang is the opposite. In my mind their beats/lyrics are timeless and really have something to say.
By the way, Runaway Love is a RZA beat remixed, so Kanye's "production" is minimal, and it also has Beiber in it. I can't believe Rae would do a song with him, and call him "JB". It literally made me cringe.
People can like whatever they like. I'm all about freedom of choice, really. But Kanye got big copying RZA's production style and his lyrics are horrible. If people like lyrics like that and don't mind what he's saying, and can just dig how it sounds, that's cool. But for me, listening to Wu-Tang vs. Kanye is like Led Zeppelin vs. Nickelback.
I'm not calling anyone a D-bag either. Just Kanye.
lyrics for his new song.. like really? This is a good song to people?
Let's have a toast for the douchebags,
Let's have a toast for the assholes,
Let's have a toast for the scumbags,
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast to the jerkoffs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can
She find pictures in my email
I sent this girl a picture of my, hey!
I don't know what it is with females
But I'm not too good with that, hey!
See, I could have me a good girl
And still be addicted to them hoodrats
And I just blame everything on you
At least you know that's what I'm good at
