Why do alot of people hate kanye?

I don't understand it, and they base their hate off media portrayals.
Very ignorant IMO

Did "the media" force him to jump on stage while Taylor Swift was receiving and award and be a dick?


You are in denial. Say what you want about his music but Kanye is an egotistical dick.
 
Don't forget the "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" incident.

I mean, I'm not a Bush fan, and I'm part black, but I was right there going "Dude WHAT?!"

Kanye just has a track record of douchebaggery.

I'll give him a pass on this because it was fucking hilarious. (But I do think George Bush cares about black people but he's too stupid to realize that many of the policies he endorses are not good for black people.)
 
Cuz he has no flow at all and his beats are the worst kind of annoying repetitive garbage. And he's a total douche bag to boot.
 
He takes samples (ie other people's music) and raps over it. And this somehow gives him the most incredible delusions of grandeur. Not much to like there.

Tons of white rock groups emulated/stole black music, but it doesn't take away from their own legacy. Everyone takes ideas from everything.
 
To all of those spouting the "why don't you like Kanye" crap, why do you like him? What is so great about his personality, or what he does in life that makes him a good guy?

I was a big Kanye fan years ago, but I'm not going to be a "fan" of an arrogant douchebag. I refuse to support someone who comes off as a spoiled child.

It helps to separate the artist from the music. Mingus and Miles Davis were both arrogant assholes, but the music speaks for itself.
 
You clearly mean the other way around right


Thank you. I hate this argument about hip-hop as if ANYONE could sample and come out with great music as some of the most notable producers in the game.

Yup. People don't realize how hard it is. You need a really good ear.
 
Why are you posting in this thread then
You need attention?

You're a cute troll. Defending a celebrity that doesn't even know NeoGAF exists, and couldn't give less of a shit about the opinions people that use it have of him simply because you have nothing better to do.

Calm down, sparky. You're just coming across like an asshole.

This is extremely ironic

How does that change my statement? I'm confused.

Wow, it's like some sort of grand irony.
 
Because that is his gimmick, he is basically a wrestling heel. He cannot pull off other gimmicks, like being tough or having any significant gang affiliations like some rappers before him. Its a good gimmick as it sets him apart, but still just a gimmick. Bush hates black people, Taylor Swift, etc etc is all just a way to get people to talk about him, likely because he himself is not that interesting of a person. The whole Kim Kardashian thing and the religious overtones he brings just further makes average people who might not follow music that much hate him.

He is very good producer and his deliver is also very good. You just have to look past the attention grabbing side of him and you will find a pretty good artist. Through the Wire is one of the best hip hop songs of all time, not a single weak line in that whole song
the kim kardashian thing actually made me feel bad for him, while he probably doesn't regret hitting that I doubt he ever planned on being forced to wife dat
 
I don't really hate Kanye, I just don't like his music all that much. I do hate the really obnoxious parts of his fanbase though. The ones that inflate him to near god-like proportions, mostly.
 
Loads of people worship kanye west and loads of people loathe him. Pretty much the same for any artist or famous personality.
Personally I like his music but he can be quite embarrassing when he delves into race issues.
 
I haven't bought any of his music since Graduation so i can't speak on the rest of his work, I liked Late registration alot but mainy for the beats and features. I'd say he has moments but generally he's limited and average as a rapper which is where it really counts for me.

I couldn't give less of a shit about the things he says/does. I'd heard enough after 3 albums and lost interest, He's a great producer though.

Grad is really his worst album IMO
Teddy Riley > and wouldn't be too hard to find 4 more
Is this real life? At least bring up dilla
 
Ehh let's agree to disagree in my opinion he is boring, creates shitty boring music that sounds like any other shitty boring rap and his puplic "personality" is fake as fuck. So thats why i was wondering why some people like him but whatever to each his own.
Please name me one other album that sounds anything like Yeezus

also we're still having this "sampling takes no talent" argument in 2013?
 
I like his old music, 808 and every album before that.

As for his personality I find him extremely arrogant, annoying and ego-maniacal giant little kid. I lost all respect for him a long time ago and nothing he's done so far in his career has every made me think any more of him.

Hate is a strong word tho that I reserve for a very select few, I'm more revolted towards his "greatness" with a little disinterest mixed in. My displeasure with any person usually just makes them fade into the dark.

So to sum it up, his personality is pretty rancid and his music isn't appealing to me anymore.

I hope I shed a little light on the question posed in the thread title.

If not 'meh', its only my personal take on things /shrug
