hey, he played guitar and drums on the youtubes to get his deal, love him or hate him, he's living the american dream.


I was going to tell you how stupid you are.






But i read the next part when you agreed with me. So some respect as a person goes back to you. But this love affair with beiber you've got needs to stop.

Kanye might be the most overrated motherfricker on the planet. His hype is a testament to the sad state of popular music these days.

One of my favorite artists. Two or three classic albums. Musical genius as a producer. Solid rapper. I definitely don't agree with a lot of his opinions otherwise, but I don't hate him because of it. His controversial outspoken nature makes him one of the few rappers that I actually take interest in outside of their music. He does some pretty cool and interesting stuff like that small Runaway film he did. This week he was in Dubai filming a movie for his upcoming label's collaborative album trying to incorporate and correctly portray the Dubai culture in it. Amazing concerts by all accounts.

And then there's the undeniable respect he has for pretty much all corners of music. For instance, since the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album recording era, he has recorded with Elton John, Alicia Keys, James Blake, Diplo, Justice, Frank Ocean, Mannie Fresh, 2 Chainz, Future, Ma$e, Jadakiss, etc. That's a pretty good variety of talents, especially within the hip-hop/rap subgenres.

Plus he's had some songs with VERY good substance become mainstream hits like "Jesus Walks", "All Falls Down", and Can't Tell Me Nothin'". And, I don't know if people have noticed, by Kanye has pretty much shut himself up and never really says anything to media anymore since the Taylor Swift incident. He's just let his music speak for him since then. Seems like someone learned from his mistakes and improved upon them.

He seems like a real piece of shite. I haven't listened to much rap music since I was in high school in the early 90's, so I don't even know if I've ever heard one of his songs......

explain to me how I am wrong? He has a some good beats, and some good songs, but where the frick does this "genius" and "brilliant" talk come from? He isn't even that great of a rapper. Many of his rhymes are elementary as frick.

bwahahaha

yeah, like that time when he demanded his set be moved from 6pm to 2 am because of his light show at bonnaroo, and then didn't show up until about 6 am, right before the sun came up. His performance was so bad, people threw shite at him, and he fricking cried. He is just a disgrace to humans in general, IMO.

He's a jackass. That's all I know about him. I mean literally, I've never heard any of his 'music'.

I was there and he demanded phil lesh cut his show short. Which was complete bull shite. Then he didnt even show up on time and didnt say shite to the audience. One of my favorite parts of that particular Bonnarro year was the chants of frick you kanye in the car line on the way out. Glad someoine else brought this up
