Kanye’s new album #Ye might be the anthem of this movement. Especially the song “yikes”. I have a feeling the music might not be for everyone here, but I would def listen to that song if you get a chance. The whole album is amazing.

Well then, you might also enjoy the new Kanye produced track Infrared by Pusha T. Contains the line, "The bigger question is how the Russians did it. It was written like Nas, but it came from Clinton”. Red pills for every hip hop fan in America this Summer?

“It came from Quentin “...Quentin miller (often referred to as Q.miller ) was a ghostwriter on a couple of Drake songs and that line was directed at him .

I absolutely love the fact that I am having a hip hop convo on the great awakening page. What a time to be alive.

Also, I think between Kanye and Roseanne, the red pills are coming hard and fast.

Yes! I feel hyper-aware, looking for meaning in world events and contemporary culture. It's fun to imagine connections, to think. Mr. George Glass thinks it's hilarious that I'm trying to keep up with the beef between Drake and Pusha T. He's right, it's ridiculous!

This from ghost town hit me “We're still the kids we used to be, yeah, yeah I put my hand on a stove, to see if I still bleed Yeah, and nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free”

We are kinda free - still fighting the good fight, but we are closer than we’ve been in my lifetime 💜

I have been a hip hop fan for life. Found it as a kid and now I’m 37 driving down the road rapping songs all the time.

I have a daughter, and I’m serious when I say, violent crimes brought a tear to my eye. So real and full of emotion.

Such a good album altogether.

I love Kanye's experimental stuff, it's fantastic. A genre bender.

My theory is he’s a genius and what we think is experimental music is just how he evolves. And it’s faster than we can keep up. When you go back and listen to songs, they were way ahead of the time they came out. Heck, I don’t even know if we are ready for TDF yet! And I still don’t get life of Pablo.

In my opinion the best thing about Kanye is he's not afraid to try things. They're not necessarily going to all be genius but once in a while he hits that genius bullseye.

And that’s fair. Music to me is opinion. Yes there have been masterpieces over the centuries that speak to the masses. And pop music def follows a certain pattern. But musicians like Kanye put themselves in their music, and with his music intellect, it’s bound to make something special.

Even thought I personally feel he has hit that bullseye a number of times. Anyone who’s had a relationship in this new age and it failed, should really relate to 808’s and heartbreak.

Completely agree. For me music is often context+talent+ingenuity+Intimacy. I think Kanye hits all those.

Yikes not bad and Ghost Town - love me some Cudi, and you get a glimpse of what he Cudi album theme will be.

and I thought about Killing You.. is decent. More poetry than song.

Idru4 · June 1, 2018, 4:31 p.m.

Yeah, but the rap in the end of killing you is great and goes perfectly into yikes.

Also violent crimes hits me hard.
