    he never really fell off though, he still has plenty of good songs. he just doesn't focus on music anymore which makes sense considering he can just buy shares in a product, talk about it on social media and about 3 years later he's made 60-100 mill.

    i prefer his first 3 albums, and Dark Twisted Fantasy was good too. after than he was chasing fame more than making good music.

    If he was chasing fame he could easily make a Graduation 2 and fill it with Good Life's. Yeezus is not the result of a man chasing fame.

    If anything Kanye did the opposite of selling out. He went on to make riskier music

    Probably the biggest sellout of all time tbh

    Yeah Ice Cube for sure, even if you discount all the movies and s---, from Death Certificate to Raw Footage is a very weird career trajectory

    Well the quality doesn't necessarily correlate with selling out

    Kanye has did music with pop musicians but that in itself is not selling out. Kanye is different, no matter who he chose to work with it is never damaging to the quality and integrity of his music.

    Kanye is not a sellout

    No more than he did at any other point in his career. Kanye's always collabed with popular artists that he's a fan of, regardless of who they are. He had Adam Levine on his second album.
