Can't play instruments, same simple catchy 4/4 beat (sometimes mixing it up a little with gallops), no thought-provoking lyrics, and can't sing that great(fucking auto-tune ruins everything). Now I don't have anything personal against Kanye but he kind of acts like a d-bag. I agree with you. Nothing special and he made a film, so what, Taylor Swift was in a film too. Effing Olsen twins make movies... Hell I was in a film once too. He's just a braggart. | ||

I would ask for a refund from Delta and I like some of his music but he is an annoying conceded individual who lacks the intelligence to see other peoples point of view. It's like he is socially autistic. | ||

The only problem I have with hip hop music is that it's shoved down my throat. People on the train blasting their iPods, the rabid 12-year olds that infect music forums I just don't bother with it anymore, and most of all those assholes who feel they need to open all their car windows and crank the volume as loud as possible. | ||

But Dazed and Confused is better for that artsy fun stuff and does it better. http://www.dazeddigital.com/ Kinda funny that Daft Punk of all people are on the December issue  edit: To the guy below, it was more like a bad cover than a sample. Sampling is great. And I never cared for his music before, it sounds ok at times but overall I just dislike most of it, that he did a cover I didn't like made me dislike him more. I think continuing to make songs I don't like is a reason to dislike someone more. Isn't he the guy that is a dickhead at every other music award as well? Don't know if he is, I'd dislike him for that too :p | ||

Integrity does not mean taking your artistic vision into your own hands on every single point of it, regardless of your own abilities. It means either limitting yourself to what you are able to do or collaborating. Not everybody can be Clint Eastwood. And you don't get points for trying. | ||

Did he actually say that? The first 5 results of my non-commital google search say no. | ||

You can't listen to rap and ignore the lyrics because the beat is good. It has to be all around good, or else the good and the bad cancel each other out imo. Now I even think that his beats are probably a fair amount more good than his lyrics are bad, and that makes his music more than listenable, however now he's made a video. I mean not he's made a good beat, laced it with shitty lyrics and then put out a video by good video directors/producers of his choice. No, he has to do everything himself, because he has no idea how untalented he is in all but one field, and so he wrote the lyrics, and directed and produced a freaking video by himself. And it's terrible. The bad far outweighs the good this time and I wish some more Kanye fans would admit it. Integrity does not mean taking your artistic vision into your own hands on every single point of it, regardless of your own abilities. It means either limitting yourself to what you are able to do or collaborating. Not everybody can be Clint Eastwood. And you don't get points for trying. Well, thats just like... your opinion man but seriously if I were a huge musician like Kanye why wouldn't you want to spread around all genres? That's like saying you can only be good at one thing and NEVER try, never try to expand yourself. And WTF do you want with lyrics? you want to get your mind blown, or do you want him to lie and say he thinks he's just another average person? If someone told you don't play BW/SC2 you are untalented would you stop? If someone told IdrA you're so predictable/untalented I can beat you whenever would IdrA stop playing? Sure the movie may have not been a top 10 list movie and has some cheesy scenes but does that make it so bad? I wish you people would stop using his ego as an excuse, we all know its big, but that doesn't mean it has anything to do with his musical ability. | ||

Kanye is often sneered at by musical elitists because of his popularity but he is an absolutely brilliant producer and this album looks like it will be his best. The movie was awesome. actually, i find quite the opposite. he's one of the popular artist that no matter what genre of musical interest people usually at least respect him as an artist. | ||
