So, no "love."

I just ordered a brand new *MM..FOOD* copy even though I have one new version already just so I can hear the OG "Kookies" that I really love. Shit costed me 62 euros...

His lyricism is pretty good, his wordplay is good, his beats are nice, but goddamn - that voice. It's the worst voice I've heard a rapper had, even Westside Gunn has a less annoying voice. He sounds like he hasn't cleared his throat since the Balkan Wars and is recording his vocals while on the toilet with diarrhea. It ruins all of his music for me.

He has had quite a few collaborations over the years, what would your dream collaboration of CuDi be?

Help!!!!!!!!!!! Why does it keep happening?????????? Who is he?!"!?!?"_?

Hip-Hop made me throw flip flops at big rocks looking for slick shots giving them a weird shock making their pants have shit spots, and Travis Scott is the black Kid Rock!

Why are the kids in "We Don't Care" by Ye (formerly Kanye West) singing "We wasn't 'posed to make it past 25, joke's on you, we're still alive" when they clearly aren't 25 yet? Are they stupid?

I have a few, for example of the favorite Genius lyric cards I have a hold of, look here:

Law

Uncle touch

Eminem afraid of his daughter taking a shit

2Chainz could probably get his whole own post.

PARTYNEXTDOOR’s early verse represents the numbness that comes with depression, you can see how laid back and flattened his vocals are (with minimal urgency or dynamic range and a detached melodic contour), you can see how he doesn’t truly care there, it’s almost dissociative, and it shows anhedonia (the clinical inability to feel pleasure), it shows the emotional flatness with depression. This part is the second most instrumentally alive part of this song, because this is before the fully aware depression that is coming in soon, this is pure emotional numbness. the world isn’t dull yet - only the subjective experience is. That contrast is intentional. Then, Kid CuDi’s chorus comes in, and there’s still tons of instrumentals, because depression hasn’t fully set in yet. He borrows lines from a sampled song and flips their meaning - “I’ve been trying to make you love me, but everything I try and do just takes you further from me” - this is literally talking to himself. Ye has been trying to love himself, but everything he tries to do just takes himself further from him. Then Ye’s verse comes in, this is the transition in Bi-Polar disorder from depression to mania. Ye is stuck between all that (depression and mania), lines like “sometimes I talk like I drank all the wine” further show this, he looks at the damage from his depression like the thoughts of suicide and everything else, and he is just stuck, controlled by the disorder. He is in a mixed episode - depression (showed with confusion, regret, self-awareness) and mania (looseness, impulsive phrasing). Then Cudi’s chorus appears once again, this time with only one instrument behind him, all the life is taken out of it, because that’s what depression does - it takes the life of you until you feel numb to everything. It’s a production level metaphor for sensory dulling, loss of reward response and psychological constriction. The whole perception gets narrowed. Then 070 Shake’s part appears, this represents the second part of Bi-Polar disorder - mania. “I put my hand on a stove to see if I still bleed, but nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free” - not only is this talk of self harm, but this is literally what mania does to you: you make reckless decisions and you feel near impervious to the consequences. Suddenly, all of the instruments start coming back, and this part is the most alive the song feels. The lasers from “Yikes,” the guitar, and more. This is the most lively the song gets, because this is the mania part of Bi-Polar disorder. This part is purposefully long because of how mania is, you do so many reckless things, and have to deal with the consequences only in your depression. Like Kanye’s verse shows, it leaves him confused on things like why such a large part of his audience now feels alienated to him, because he can’t control the mania. However, Shake’s part isn’t purely mania, it’s also emotional numbing going into risk seeking behavior, mania includes impulsivity, but it also often includes inflated invulnerability - she expresses post-numb recklessness, “nothing hurts anymore” removes the feedback mechanism that normally prevents harm. Mania lingers because it feeds itself. This song is the best showcase of Bi-Polar disorder, and the most important part of *ye*. As you can see in the album cover itself - “i hate being bi-polar, it’s awesome” - this shows the dual sided part of Bi-Polar disorder once again.

Kanye West has had a shit ton of perfect sample flips over the years, and I am curious to see what people think.

Personally I think it's Pusha T. Dude had a verse so good they had to cut his verse short (the full version is still listenable if you want listen to it).
