I give about anything that comes out a chance and I listen to music all the time . I ' m open to pretty much all music , and as a younger dude who was never exposed to 80 s and 90 s hip hop I ' m pretty into that as well , in my circle of acquaintances I ' m kinda the go to guy when someone needs a unique playlist or some new music . I ' m curious as to why you call Ye songs puff pieces sure are there songs without substance ? Hell yeah , and they ' re fun as fuck for when I ' m just trying to jam in the car . But I don ' t think it ' s fair to say anything more than a small minority of songs kanye has put out are substanceless if that ' s what you mean by puff pieces . You may not agree with what he has to say in his songs but he ' s putting them out with a message that he feels strongly about . It ' s killing me you don ' t find kanye creative . Almost all the people I know who don ' t like him still cede to him having an original and unique sound . Also I could never get into death grips . I ' ve tried so hard to like them but I can ' t do it and I don ' t know why but I ' ll give it another shot today .
