I'm a fan of all of Kanye's albums, except 808s & Heartbreak.

I haven't gotten around to listening to Yeezus, but from everything I've heard....turrible.

I haven't heard the whole thing, but from what I heard during his SNL performance, I don't think I'll like this album as much as I have in the past.

I'm starting to get sick of his shtick, though. He said some ridiculously stupid shit in his New York Times interview.

It is pretty funny, isn't it? He should stick to producing.

Wasn't my favorite Kanye album but credit him for trying something different. I'll probably give it another listen or two once it hits Spotify before ruling it out. I am a big Kid Cudi fan but it usually takes a few times through for me to fully appreciate it.

Im a huge Cudi fan as well. His Wzrd and Indicud albums are really different. A lot of people like them, and I guess I warmed up some after a few listens, but I wish he would stick to the Man on the moon type music.

This. Also, Graduation and Late Registration were legit as well.

J. Cole is one of the best lyricists there is. He was so reminiscent of Nas this time. I wish he could blow up like Kendrick has.

Im a J Cole fan, even a Kendrick fan as well. I consider J Cole big...

But then again, im not really a huge follower of hip-hop, just have a few artists I like.

I really like JCole, Wale, Kendrick.. those guys rap about life, not materialistic things (most of the time)

I was just joking, I used to be into hip hop and rap big time, but it just doesn't really relate for me anymore.

Jay-Z, Kendrick, J-Cole, and Cudi are really the only Hip-Hop guys I like.

I liked Wale a lot more before he signed with MMG. I can't stand Rick Ross. Hopefully his new album will win me back.

I fell off of rap big time in the past few years. I dig the A$VP crew, Joey Bada$$, Kendrick, Future and thats about it.
