I'm not though, and I wasnt. My opinion is not directed at fans but actually a voice in unison with the boo crowd. So I'm identifying with them but not trying to pass judgement on fans, if that makes sense.
I like Pharrell Williams, very, very much and rate him higher than both combined if you want to take easy shots at me in return lol I'm not ashamed of what I like and it doesnt matter who dislikes him(it). You guys are getting very defensive for something that shouldn't ever be more than a little blurb on your character sheet.
Yeezus is actually really good so maybe you misjudged the situation.

1) neither is it a thread to defend Kanye as you so desperately want it to be. And you guys made it about my opinion, not me.
2) let's not. I'm not going to post a bullet pointed list of reasons why I dislike an artist's music to appease you, nor will I justify an opinion to you. The scope of the thread is not lets argue about the quality of Kanye's music. It's about hey look some people boo'd Kanye, at an event + some disrespect by referring to him as KK's husband - thats the topic - and if you want to have a discussion about the merit of Kanye's music, sure, but do it without me.
EDIT: Can we please stop this now?
This never happened. Personal issue breh.
"Kanye West sucks."
" Why do you feel that way?"
"This isn't about how I feel."
If this is how every debate went nothing would ever be done and nobody would learn anything. It's important that people actually discuss matters, rather than just brush it off. If you have no opinions to give on Kanye West other than "I don't like him" than you weren't really contributing to the thread either, just interjecting your own personal opinion into a discussion that didn't necessarily warrant it. That's fine. Just don't try changing the subject when people tell you theirs.

The fucking topic is people booing Kanye and wanting Drake instead.
Please stop quoting me now.
Why is he dressed like a masked hobo?

The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown.
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"
... and I'll whisper "no."

Hmmm, this album made it seem he is mentally disturbed. Too bothered by what other people think of him, so he can't really think about anything else in life or talk about it, yet in the process he seems to stir some shit so I guess he brings it on himself? Then again maybe it's just a big intentional mess in the scene to spin drama that helps get attention and drive sales. I don't know, but compared to stuff I like it's just so starkly self-centered and high school drama-esque.
The music is fairly interesting, although rather here-and-there, never really settling into any of the good ideas it has, which may be a good picture of him as he was making it. He either has great musical knowledge or works with people who do and is good at synthesizing styles. If he were to find some peace he could probably make something really beautiful. Something about the simplicity of structure and intimate nature makes it feel really old school, even though the actual construction of the simple structures has all sorts of newer production elements going into it. It's an interesting sound, but doesn't transcend the purpose of personal statement. Since I don't know him, the value of that is rather low.

The article forgets to mention the reason why Kanye performed there for a second night. He replaced Drake who cancelled at the last minute, so that's probably why people were shouting for Drake.

The article forgets that the people shouting for drake (if it even really happened) were a small minority of the thousands of people watching Kanye.
That too. But it's The Mirror, they thrive on sensationalism.

I agree. People shit on Drake too much too. Yeezus was a garbage album. Certainly one of his best production wise, lyrically just awful. Especially disappointing considering how great MBDTF was.
I was going to post an opinion but I realize there are too many fanboys and girls riding and/or hating these artists and posting useless gifs, preventing any meaningful discussion.
This topic is equivalent to console warrior bullshit. Please stop riding these artists against any criticism whatsoever; they aren't paying you and it's not that serious.

Kayne should just a tour of all of his commercially popular collab songs.. ET, knock you down, all of the lights ect.
I mean all those songs have shitty lyrics, but average person likes them because of the catchy beat and chorus
Exactly.
The articles are highly sensationalised and exaggerated and anyone who went to his performances at wireless (me) would say the same thing. They are taking a minority of people's behaviour and generalising it to the entire crowd, although I cannot speak for the Saturday performance where he replaced drake since I wasn't there but the articles I've read about the other two wireless performances are just the media twisting what happened and are complete trash,
His setlist at wireless was all of his hits, everyone around me knew all the words.

Articles like this really confirm Kanye's views on the press...but then again, isn't this some UK tabloid trash? So maybe it's not worth dwelling on.
Ultimately the problem is that people can't relate to Kanye's childish tirades. The Nike thing is done yet he's still complaining about it. All his tirades about multi million/billion dollar bullshit that doesn't matter. And if it mattered so much, you would think he'd say fuck it and prove himself with a smaller brand instead of crying about Louis Vutton or whatever the fuck it's called not hiring him. Who gives a shit, why put them on a pedestal.

Kim kardashians husband needs to calm down
That was always going to happen with his first post-Dark Fantasy solo album. People predicted the exact reaction years in advance.
Also, Yeezus is great.

Yes, but this article is being linked all over the internet on reddit and facebook and filter people's perceptions based on sensationalist bullshit that greatly distorts the facts. The crowd for Kanye's performance at wireless was humongous. He played I think three Drake tracks (Trophies, We made it, All me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa4Jd4_1tUA) which was a huge fanservice to the crowd. Then he went on with his normal setlist and went through a lot of good tracks. Then he went on a ~10 minute rant in which a portion of people left and there was intermittent booing from parts of the crowd. Then he carried on back to the music. He was on from ~9pm to 10:30.
holy shit haha

In 20 years, Kim Kardashian's ex-husband will be long forgotten. Although, he might get a mention on I Love the 2010s on VH1.
At first I hated it, and that was because I compared it to MDTF. However, after putting it down for a couple of months, I've started to like it. So IMO, it's not shit. lol.
