Once you learn to walk your body should control your feet accordingly. Kanye west clearly can't even walk down a street without fucking himself up. Dude needs to learn some basic life skills before he keeps his god act up.

His new album is amazing though.

I think if you got the accolades and sales he did you'd be pretty egotistical yourself.
I mean, look at the dude's life.
He chills regularly the highest selling solo recording artist of all time.
He impregnated a celebrity that almost any dude will kill to even get 2 pumps.
His albums sell like hotcakes.
He regularly recieves awards.

In short, he's a pop icon.

Yet when he doesn't win an award he thinks he deserves he blames the colour of his skin meanwile beyonce, Jay-z and many other black artists win grammy's for fun. His ego is pretty big.

He makes great music. He just says alot of stupid egotisticle things. I find it funny but I can see why it would irk some people

I don't recall that happening
Kanye has 27 Grammies and he's already said he doesn't care about his awards
Hence why he no longer attends

So is Michael Richards saying the N-word. I get Kanye makes a lot of satire, but has he given any display that he treats women beyond anything as objects? Oh yeah, he "marries" the girl at the end of "Drunk and Hot girls" after trying to fuck her after the point she's practically throwing up.

I get it, it's satire, but not great satire, and what was the satire I was missing in the "All Falls Down" video which was basically 3 minutes of slow-mo of dat asssss?

Drunk and Hot girls tells a story
All falls down wasn't directed by him
Hey mama is what you looking for btw
 
What are we supposed to base our opinions of celebrities off other than media portrayals? Unless you're best buds with Ye, none of us know the "real him" so as long as there's an inherent acknowledgement in our judgements that they're really just conjecture and not definitive what's wrong with doing so?

My most burning question though is why do you care what some people think of a celebrity you like? You like him, that's cool, isn't that enough?

Very ignorant IMO

Why some people might not like the personality this guy puts out there is really no mystery. I'm actually wondering if you are asking this seriously, or just as a joke.

I'm fine with Kanye, but its not hard at ALL to see how the guys personality could grate some peoples nerves.
 
He's a legit beat maker and producer/writer.

I fail to see anything else of merit in him as an artist though. As a rapper I find him droning and repetitive. His public persona seems completely fabricated to bolster what is to me, a very mediocre MC that doesn't have anything terribly interesting to say.

So pretty much a prototype pop/rap dude.

It's jarring to see that's all
Also I somewhat care because due to this hate and this issue with the media there's a disconnect with the fanbase

Stop disliking things I like!

It's an opinion. If you like his music great. I don't care about his views or him as a person or snl. I'm just basing my opinion on his music.

But your criticisms hold no weight
That's my point
That's the whole point of the thread really

Hey, is he the guy who beats his girl, or the guy who is a giant asshole?



Hey, #IHaveBlackFriends

I'm kidding of course. But I have had a moment like this once or twice where I confused one for the other. Mostly because I barely follow the industry.
Click to expand...

like there is no way you can confuse the two. they don't look alike, they aren't even in the same genre of music, and they are famous/notorious for completely different reasons. The only thing they have in common is that they're black and entertainers.

You see here's the thing. If you're allowed to say that then we can say "your opinion holds no weight", or everything you're saying holds no weight. What you just said is straight up bullshit. Why did you even make this thread? You knew damn well people were going to come in here and not like him yet when it happens you can't handle it? Time to grow up and learn not everyone likes what you do.

My last two posts I was gonna write "and don't call it satire," and don't bring up Hey Moma or Roses, because he only seems to respect women related to him, which isn't exactly an uncommon trait amongst sexists. The whole, "every woman is a slut, but my sister isn't allowed to have consensual sex" attitude. Which Kanye has never gone close to, but I'm just sayin'.

My point is that Kanye is super interesting because he doesn't have that filter a lot of other people do. He's not just rapping about his feelings, he's rapping about his darkest feelings. I would never treat people like Kanye describes in "All of the Lights" where he gets violent with his wife in front of his kids, then stalks her, and assaults her new boyfriend, but I understand the extreme emotion and frustration that comes from a place like that.

I'm not going to be an apologist for him though. "Oh, Swift is manufactured," "Bush was an a-hole," "it's satire," etc. Kanye isn't a role-model, he's not teaching school, I hate that every celebrity has to be "good," and if they're not "good" then they're just being ironic, or "in on the joke." Kanye is being real, and part of being real means accepting that there's sexism, superficiality, materialism, anger, jealousy, and other bad things.

Kanye is the only guy out there where I can listen to his music and feel like I'm listening in on a therapy session. Everyone out there to some degree has a public identity. Just look at Kim Kardashian. Do we know ANYTHING about her? Even Kanye, if you listen to his music, he goes from being able to buy $400 clothes just to show off, from being so self-conscious that he has to wear at least one of his watches, to wearing clothes so nice that before he speak his suit bespoke, and ultimately going from being in a Benz and still "being a nigga in a coupe" to feeling at home as a "nigga in Paris."

He's taken this journey from a College Dropout to top of the charts, and documented all his struggles and feelings on the entire adventure. And he's *flawed*. That's okay. Let's not pretend he doesn't have serious issues with ego and women though. It's plain as day.

And c'mon that video for All Falls Down, he didn't direct it but what, he was forced into it? Didn't have a say?
 
I think people hate him mostly because he is black and his attitude. But I don't hate him. I'm not really a FAN actually but he's one of the only people that I respecT. He's royalty #kanyeshrug

That's not what I was getting at
He called Ye a prototype pop artist
Have you not heard any of his albums?
That's like saying Zelda is a mediocre hack and slash
 
He is such a weird person, but not in a bad way. There was a video of him on that Kardashian show for the first time, and he was really quiet. I don't really know what his real personality is like, but I don't think it is anything like what we see on stage or in the media or whatever.

If you don't like my opinion of him just ignore it. You don't have any point beyond saying I'm wrong, which obviously isn't the case with a subjective opinion.

So I can just call anything generic or a prototype so and so and get away with it because its just "opinion"?
Okay

Yeup, that's how opinions work. Then based on how you back up your opinion, people decide whether to regard it or disregard it. Isn't it amazing?
 
his music is okay, good production value but i don't really... like him as a person.. and he's not really my type of music... sorry!!!! ;_;
