Wayne is a more influential MC. Pharrel is a more influential producer.
When was the last time you turned on top 40 pop and said "damn, this sounds like Kanye"? 2004?
> The College Dropout changed rap — and really the course of music history, full stop — more than any other album this century. It introduced Kanye West, the most influential pop icon of his generation [...]
Hey Kanye. How's it going? Nice hyperbole, as always.
The Lewinsky scandal happened in 1998.
Jeffrey Dahmer died in 1994.

I get it though. Eminem's old. Great observation.
What do AIDS and foreclosed farms have to do with social injustice?
> Pussy Riot is part of the music community
HAHAHA, good one. I really loved their last album. The live show was amazing. Still rocking my Pussy Riot World Tour '06 t-shirt.
Injustices happen all over the world everyday. Only when the victims are edgy white chicks with neon leggings from American Apparel does the music community stand up and take notice.
I like how the title isn't " vote for the band you like", rather " vote for the band we like. Don't even worry about who the other bands are. You've got a stereotype to maintain."
How about fuck you. Like I was gonna send Lol B to the Grammy's when snsd is on the list.
> but he ends up just missing it, the spell broken when his mother calls him to bother him about bringing the car back, since she’s got to get to an appointment with the city. (...) During the chase, he’s once again on the phone with his mom...
That's not what happened. He doesn't answer the phone in the first skit. His mother even tells his father that it's just his voicemail. It implies that something heavy is going on during the recording.
That's not his father on "Backseat Freestyle" either.
It's really cute that you music critics heard from a friend of friend that this album had a story and are struggle to figure out what it is. It's really not that difficult.
Piero Scaruffi was right: to be a classical critic, you have know everything there is to know about classical music; to be a jazz critic, you have to know everything there is to know about jazz; to be a rock critic, all you need is a beard.
You can't really write about Bob Dylan if you don't know everything there is to know about folk, blues, rock-n-roll, etc. There's so many allusions and so much musical history in these tracks I wouldn't know where to begin. Tom Waits is probably the most generic comparison that could have possibly been made. "Rainy Day Woman #12 & 35" owes more to "Mannish Boy" than "Early Roman Kings" does.
The Titanic is irrelevant? Gee, he should have made the song about Mark Zuckerburg, called it @bobdylan - #tempest and premiered it in a Google+ hangout. Maybe write some songs about woman's designer purses like the voice of our generation, Kanye West, does. Can't wait to see what he puts out when he's 70+ years old.
Yeah, I can tell you have a great sense of humor.
In any case, I just remembered he was in The Life Aquatic. Once you star in a Wes Anderson film you're basically hipster royalty.
Yeah, why would anybody go to a *concert* to see a *band* play *music* when they can see some guy rap off beat and mash random button on his sampler with ballerinas and a slide show from a community college "intro to art history" class?
And how dare they use the word "retard." This makes me so pissed I'm gonna vent by bumping Odd Future. Rape bitchez. Swag.
