Posted by Miss Info under good for hip hop , good for me , new music , quotes , relationships and family[37] Comments
Angie and Kanye Part 1: Wow….this interview is already off to a great start! It’s dope to hear Kanye with his hindsight 20/20 vision talk about how he was not in the right state of mind throughout his Glow in the Dark tour, and how now he realizes that he has to deal with his mother’s death. Then he and Angie debuted a new song that he just finished last night, featuring Beyonce and Charlie Wilson “See Me Now”…
Part 2 of Angie and Kanye: Talking about his upcoming album and the producers that contributed, and who does he think might be the Greatest Rappers Of All Time #1 and #2 (!?!)….
Part 3 of Angie and Kanye: Kanye discusses his relationship with Amber Rose, how she helped him, how he made her a star, and their breakup…. (UPDATE: whole interview on one mp3)
….all after the jump Angie x Kanye Part 2: The album is dropping Nov. 16th. Kanye says: “I think the scariest artist in the game right now, is definitely Nicki Minaj. and I think she has the potential to be the number 2 rapper of all time. Number 1 is Eminem.” Wow. He then goes on to talk about the nature of genius. And whether he thinks of himself as one. Ye also talks about the artists who make him grind harder: Weezy and Drake.
Kanye x Angie Part 3: Kanye talks about his breakup with Amber Rose and then about how she also helped him by checking him when he was out of control. Then they talk about how Kanye made Amber into a star. He says that dynamic was a “one off” and that he hopes to find a woman that he can settle down with. He talks about the making of “See Me Now” with Charlie Wilson, Consequence, and Beyonce.

everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I like that he has one despite what he’s supposed to say because of his friendships.

So true my mouth was like wow too when he said that but there are plenty of artist in the game with talent that dont get any shine because of the way the industry focus. only certain people in the game are gonna do numbers …Consequence is nice !!!he has tracks, lyrics ,beats everything been around for a SECOND and gets no shine.Some shine but not like he should

It isn’t so much that Jay isn’t relevant. It’s just a nod to the fact that Em spits harder right now. And I have to agree. I was listening to Hov’s earlier music and was like damn it has really changed.(which isn’t a bad thing)
Like you could still picture Em throwing on a hoodie and getting into a battle or a rhyme cipher. Jay would walk up to a ciper, laugh and keep it moving.

I really think he was talking sales and crossover appeal wise. Nikki can galvanize women, different cultural backgrounds, and even spit enuff 2 have dudes likin her. She like Em, before her can be the perfect storm if groomed properly.

he was talking everything, sales, mainstream attention, being an mc, making albums etc.
Cause lets not act like Em just came and sold cause he is white, then why aint Paul Wall, Bubba Sparx, Asher Roth sell 80 mill records?
Yes being white helped Em but if he couldnt spit and didnt have the skills he had he wouldnt have been as big. He ended up being one of the best rappers who ever lived, so being white gave him the mainstream attention and helped him become even bigger, but he had to have the skills to make classic albums like MMLP and Em SHow and make songs as brilliant as Stan, or Lose Yourself. Plus he had the freestyle battle rapper edge to him, and he could write, was a great writer, could make the goofy crossover record but then come back and rip a beat.
So all in all, sales, skills, all of it Em is clearly the biggest ever. Some wont call him the best cause of what he raps about and his color.
its like rap is a black art form, dominated by blacks, its like basketball, some white guy comes in and is as good as Jordan, or better, people would have a hard time every saying it though, thats Em, cause he doesnt rap about the shit Pac or Big or Jay does he wont get the credit he deserves by some.
But what, I bet he could write a song and give it to Jay to rap and people would say listen to those lyrics, Jay is the best, when Em wrote it, Em could write from that space, but he would be rapping about a lie, so it would be corny for him to do that, he wouldnt, but its not like he couldnt make a song like that or write a song like that, from that perspective.

so funny but I totally know what you mean! I loved Amber visually and I really think that together it was like a walking piece of ever-changing art, lol. But I also liked Alexis’ presence too. She wasnt quite as entertaining though.

Kanye West is a Genius. People need to start appreciating flowers while they can still smell them – Kanye West. It’s sad, but it’s not till someone like Ye pass till he’s really appreciated for what he’s done, continue to do artiscally, musically & just an overall visionary.

I never said or will say YET that Nicki is ranked that high, but i feel vindicated about my impression, I think she is gonna be one of those staples in hip hop . On EM , I Agreee, and Im a BIG jay fan , but this recovery album put Em in my Number one spot.

Clearly some of you didn’t understand what Kanye said. He said she has potential to be the #2 rapper of all time meaning she’s not there yet. Stop twisting up shit to cause some sort of shock value. You have to admit that she has the total package of an artist coming up to rapping on a stair case with a baby phat purse full of one dollar bills to having a song sitting at #1 on the Billboard rap charts.

He’s right about Slim Shady being the N0.1 MC of all time, of everything. I already respected him, but respect him even more for acknowledging that. But KANYE! NICKI Minaj???? Bigger than U and Jay-z!!! No F’in way!!! She’s REALLY Annoying, from her attitude, to the sound of her voice!!! And Lyrically, think about the females rappers of the past dude and then listen to “Your Love”…. smh….. “The world will stop spinning and MJF will come to a stand still.” For that happens! It’s your and Jay-z’s man!

I dont understand how eminem is the best, i dont think i ever will. Ive never purchased a Em album even though he can spit (when hes not talking about his addictions, his daughter/mother, or making “comedy” rap) I dont think he has as much content as Nas and several others….and as far as word play and rewindable lines Canibus rhymes circles around him
Reply

WHy is that WOW info?
Well it depends on what you like, some wont give Em his due cause he is white and doesnt rap about living in the hood, selling drugs, guns, crack etc, or him just being white, but if you go just from skill.
Lyricism
song writing
flow
hooks
freestyling
Quality of albums
How anyone can honestly look at these and not say Em has all these. maybe not the best ever, but Em is def top 5 all time, with Jay, Nas, Pac, biggie, take your pick whose the best, but Em is def one of the best ever, maybe even the best, he wont ever get the credit for being the best cause he is white and what he raps about, but he raps about his real life, unlike alot of rappers who rap about shit other people did, but Em is the best out right now its not even a question.
Everything he gets on he kills, he killed Jay on his OWN SHIT. he killed Wayne, Kanye and Drake on Forver, he ripped everyone on the BET show the freestyle session, the crowd went the hardest when he spit, Em is a great song writer and lyricist.
Plus he sold more albums then everyone, I think Pac was a few mill ahead but that was before Relapse and Recovery, so I think Em probably will pass Pac soon or already did and he did it with way less albums.
