If you don't like him as an artist, that is perfectly fine. He is still one of the better hip hop artists that's made it far mainstream. Yes, Jay Elec, K-Os, Lupe, etc are better lyricists. Sure, Dilla, Premier, 9th Wonder, Pete Rock are more experienced beat makers. But I couldn't name you many artists who've dabbled into both at a competent level enough. | ||

Wasn't all that impressed but I suppose I'm biased against Kanye as a whole. Truth be told, I never really was that big of a fan of Hip Hop and never saw anything unique or groundbreaking about Kanye West. He's just more hyped than others, thats all | ||

I don't think he's that great of an artist though and most people I know that sneer at him do so because he's an obnoxious douchebag above all else. Him being a douchebag has nothing to do with how good of an artist he is. And why is he a bad artist btw? On October 26 2010 13:21 Wr3k wrote: You obviously don't know what real hiphop is. Maybe try something like: ATCQ LL Cool J Mobb Deep KRS One Public Enemy Beatnuts Coolio Dre Sugarhill Gang Grandmaster Flash & the furious five Afrika Bambataa Digable planets Pete Rock & CL smooth Kanye doesn't have shit all on any of these guys. The quality of hip-hop/rap has gone down the toilet since the 90's. There are a still a few good artists making decent music (I think K-os is my favorite of the newer artists, his songwriting makes Kanye look like a 5th grader). Don't even get me started on idiots like Little Wayne... Just made me smile, some people are hard to faze. Can you at least listen to your gourmet music alone somewhere without posting this huge list in every hip-hop thread that is going to come up in the future? Because I feel bad for everyone having to skim through that incredibly annoying post, including myself. | ||

If not, check em out at www.kanyewest.com None of them except for Monster are on the new upcoming album 'My Dark Twisted Fantasy'. I think Devil in a New Dress will also be on his new album. I'm thinking about pre-ordering it on iTunes but i think i'll wait for a physical cd. And like most of the people in this threat... Kanye's music has deteriorated since College Dropout. Late Registration and College Dropout were great hip-hop albums with a lot of jazz and soul influences. This new album looks like it will be at least better than Graduation but for a hip-hop album, thats not saying much. I am looking forward for Lasers this coming March. imo... Lupe Fiasco has one of the best flows and rhyming schemes of any rapper ever. He might not be the best rapper ever, but he's more modern so i can connect to his songs more than other rappers like Rakim, Nas, KRS, biggie, big l, and so forth who rapped about topics in my childhood that didn't really affect me. | ||

The video was like whatever. I got bored and just kept the music running in the background. I believe it's what any sensible person would do. Angel girl was terrible, made me mad. Ok, after finishing, I decided it sucks actually. Intro was the best. | ||

Now, if you want a music video that actually has some depth to it M.I.A.'s latest work is where you should look. It's also an actual short film (Much shorter though at only 9 minutes). It's actually mindblowingly good. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xd2w3j_m-i-a-born-free-video-official-real_music | ||

I'm SO tired of this kinna crap. (Edit: AKA Lady Gaga, perfect example of "other") It's not deep or profound, its just an attempt to seem so to dumb people. And just for the record, I'll point out the obvious that "identifying opposites" is NOT deep. Black/White, Up/Down, Devil/Angel... why does this always get people to think they have meaning? AKA: Bumper stickers with Angel on one side, Devil on other... or songs that say "I hate you, I love you"... ugh... are you fucking kidding me? This guy is so self indulgent is just begging for attention. I feel dumb for watching most of the video actually expecting that it would have content. Fuck. God, thank you for your post. Was waiting for one rational voice. Man, humanity might have a chance. Seriously. You nailed my thoughts exactly. | ||

Before I actually 'watched' it though, I had it playing through my sc2ing and realized that some of the songs are pretty badass. Does anyone know if kanye has them out for downloads or anything? I heard he does to promote his albums. If so, please pm me the link or something  Thanks! | ||
