skyballa, sucks like most cali rappers.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

It's not nearly as good as his first album.
I was especially put off by the fact that the new single "Gold Digger" sounds exactly like the song "Get 'Em High" off his first album, except that the lyrics are a little different. Funny though cause the subject matter is pretty much the same. Maybe he thought people wouldn't notice?
Most of the songs I couldn't even listen to for more than 30 seconds before I got bored and skipped to the next track.

Late Registration is pretty good album. Far from a classic, but is definately worth listening to.
His lyrics improved from his debut (still a mediocre rapper). It's definately one of the best produced album this year. There's about 4 Skits and and one horrible track. Overall: Above average album.

I just downloaded the album... it's a classic.
Even though I think he needs to learn how to make his own beats, he is up there with Timbo as far as originality.
The thing about Kayne you have to understand, it's not really RAP as much as it is Hip Hop.
You aren't going to pop in a Kayne West CD and it sound like something 50 cents drops, because he is a rapper.
This is up there with Bone, est 1999 and Jay Z the Blueprint, I honestly think it's that good. Not a weak sone on the CD

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Wow, are you kidding me? Hahaha
If you like it, more power to ya I guess. But I think it's pretty bad. Still better than most of the rap out there right now though.

Up there with Blueprint, what are you smoking???
What do you mean by this? Him and Brion make a good team. No worse than Dr. Dres participation in his so called produced tracks.

In that sense, yes they make an excellent team, but all of his beats are sampled from something.. He's not as bad as some people out there... have you heard "you'r gonna love me" by the backwoodz? They took the Old cassic, one of my favorate songs, "Your gonna love Me" by Jennifer Holliday, and, sampled one part of the song, and that's the enitre beat.
Kanye takes a smaple like.... Dream or on his new CD... So Major, and actually makes a beat ar ound the sample. so he is more orginal then alot of people give him credit for, but still sampling isn't the hardest thing in the world.

Its not hard, but getting that cool layered sound, is not possible with just a keyboard and an original idea. Hip Hop is sampling. I hate glossy synth beats. If a guy were to replicate a song like "we major" he would need a brass section. string section, and a host of session musicians, plus the musical idea. On this album kanye is the first producer in rap to get a really cool layered sound. The first musical rap album. Not every joe knows how to properly flip a sample--creativity.
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

We have billions to fight a never ending war, but sit with our ass on our hands when our fellow country men are in need
I'm glad Kanye blurted that out. I wonder if this will hurt his career????

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
