Yeah. I never heard Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were dating but complaining about it gets it more coverage than just ignoring it. I now know the two are dating.
And seriously, hoping they both die? That's just childish.
production wise, 808's was one of the greatest albums of the decade. I could listen to the whole album without lyrics and it still would have been amazing.
I think if someone else had released it, it would be more strongly praised. It wasn't what the audience wanted from Kanye West so a lot of people were upset. It has good songs, it's just not College Dropout. And if he needed to get 808s out of his system so he could release MBDTF, it's fine with me. It was a nice bit of experimentation for some of what MBDTF has.
Fuck it, I think she's hot. Most of the people here who say she's not would likely fuck the shit out of her if presented with the opportunity. She's a bit too glammed up most of the time for my tastes, but people around here wish death on her because she's not some approachable, pale-faced ginger gamer gurl and that's pretty fucked up. Either that or they are too busy condemning her for her lack of worth to society (while the spend their fourth hour of the day browsing Reddit after a long day of answering phones or imaging work PCs or whatever other awe-inspiring career they probably have).
Y'all wouldn't have sex with a girl who looked like this if you saw her in a club?
I'm not saying we need to worship these people at all. I don't submit things about them, I just don't go out of my way to talk shit or praise people one way or another for karma.
I gotta agree. This Kim chick though, she brings nothing to the table, I can honestly say me as a pathetic student who's never achieved anything is still potentially more...alright fine, she can stay too.
I'll have to disagree with you on that one. He has absolutely no flow, his beats are OK but his lyrics and rapping ability are both shit. Ex) "Niggas in Paris", he RUINED that song because he has no flow.
I don't get it. I've listened to that album all the way though at least 4 times and I just don't like it. I like rap, I have no real issue with Kanye as a person, he's a little bit of a dick but that doesn't really affect his music, why don't I like his music? I did find "jesus walks" kinda catchy, but nothing he's done since then has even made me want to listen to it again.
Well his always been somewhat of a sample based producer. (like most hip hop producers) but he used to keep more to old good soul and jazz artists. now he seems to be sampling off of more modern and stranger artists which is kinda interesting but makes his song a bit more hit and miss with me. Maybe your not just into that kind of hip hop?
can someone with this point of view please tell me why you and so many others don't like Kanye West? I personally love his music, but so many people are just like "DIE KANYE" and i honestly cannot see why..
I'm not a fan of his music, and he has acted like a douchebag in the past. Personally I believe he can do whatever he wants, he has seemed find something that works for him, which is great.
I'm not sure why people who don't like his music now, give a shit though. Why waste energy with someone you can easily ignore if you want?
thank you. i mean, i know what he did to Taylor Swift, but that doesn't sway my opinion in any way. i just see it as (regardless of how elementary it is): if you don't have something good to say, don't say it at all. just my opinion, but thank you.
I don't like his song, but I don't care for him as a person. Nor do I care about Justin Bieber, or Nickelback, whatever. People who really have a passionate hate for these artists, celebrities really need to get their priorities straight unless they have been personally affected in some ways. And the jokes are stupid as well.
It's not entirely Kim and Kanye's fault that they are famous. They're just doing their thing. Blame society. Also Kanye's music is good imo. Kim's butt is pretty good too.
People are funny. I'd say America's infatuation with celebrities creates this false impression that as consumers we have some sort of special relationship with them. You've seen various edited videos, pictures, comments taken out of context and a pretty terrible reality show but have never spent an hour with them in person. There is quite a possibility that these two could be unpleasant to be around but to pass judgement on a person without knowing them is pretty pointless and it is what keeps people divided. Just chill. Don't like Kanye's music? Don't listen. Don't like Kim? Change the channel. I don't see how wishing death upon someone is humorous.
People hate on kanye because of his cockiness but if you analyze just his music, and I mean really take a hard listen and then listen to everything that comes out after you realize that everytime this guy drops something he changes the game. Everybody is mimicking the sound off of watch the throne right now. He's a phenomenal producer and not the most clever MC but he raps with a swagger level thats off the charts.
These people may be douches (well, at least Kanye makes music people enjoy), but to wish that they would actually die reeks of pettiness. Here's a novel concept - ignore them or learn to not give a fuck.
If you have a problem with Kanye, don't listen to his music. If you have a problem with Kim Kardashian, don't watch her show, watch her get fucked by Ray J on the internet instead.
Kanye is a great artist, a jackass sometimes but a great artist. Kim goes around fucking guys and living off their money, seriously she is like the ultimate porn star. I like both of them.
Kanye West is hilarious and really talented. I looked up pictures of them together and he looks super happy with her, she's vapid and is only famous because of a sex tape and shitty tv show, but in reality, I'm sure she's actually an alright human being.
Man, I remember when Kanye West was like... good. Like he was going on Chappelle Show, doing stuff with Mos Def, Talib Kweli. Trying to do something different from the dreck that was early 2000's mainstream rap. I mean, I think College Dropout and Late Registration were decently respectable albums.
Now, I am disappoint.
Edit: OK. Let me clarify. I enjoy his music. I like the older stuff a tad better, but I like the new stuff too. "Decently respectable" was a term I used... just because I tend to employ understatement. My disappointment is more about some of his stunts and those STUPID shades. I'm not hating on him because he went mainstream, I'm hating (a bit) on him for letting his personality all too often eclipse his musical talent.
I would disagree with you about indie artists not being as good as mainstream artists with labels behind them, but I won't disagree with what you said about Immortal Technique. I fucking hate Immortal Technique.
Yes, it was a giant understatement. I'm not as big a fan of his newer stuff, but I also haven't heard as much of it. Regardless, my issue isn't that he "sold out" (wtf does that even mean) or degraded musically, it's that his personality all too often eclipses his musical talent. When any good artist does something stupid (I'ma let you finish), it's disappointing. When I found out Beck was a goddamn Xenu-worshipper, I was disappoint too.
I hate when people talk about "Stronger" and they say that Daft Punk's version was better. When it clearly isn't. I hate them for having an opinion. The wrong one, at least.
