I liked Hey Mama better off the advance too)kanye always changes his songs too much), the new one seems too busy. Musically, it is very impressive though.I don't really get how people hate on Kanye's music though..............the guy puts TIME AND EFFORT into his music, something very few rappers try to do. He PUSHES THE ENVELOPE, does not rap about the same tired ass shit, and experiments with different sounds, etc. He had much success with College Dropout, but didn't do a carbon copy even though it would have sold a couple million guaranteed. And who gives a fuck if he is gay or not? Speaking out against homophobia does not make someone gay, nor does dressing up once in awhile. Besides, WHY DO YA"LL CARE HOW SOMEONE DRESSES OR ACTS ANYWAY, its just music!!!And SHALLOW, WHO THE FUCK CARES IF KANYE MAKES MONEY OR NOT??? The fact that he was willing to spend 3 million on an album, or that he produced his own THorugh the Wire video when noone believed in him should tell you he's about the art and making quality music, not money. Besides, the fact that his record label (GOOD MUSIC) is nominated for 20 GRAMMIES should bring in a little money, as well as all the other joints he does for artists. You realize artists don't make their money off cd's. but off touring........and have you any idea how successful the "tough the sky" tour was.............I can see how people could not feel kanye's music, but calling him gay, saying he has not talent is ridiculous. He is one of the best overall artists in hiphop and has succeeded despite being a little different, and its pretty hard to deny his influence on the game.............
It is a great song. I've been feeling Addiction lately too. Dude's ego makes me wanna hate him and his music though.
Teecee, you were very on point with everything u said i feel. Kanye does put hella effort into his music and the music envokes feeling. there was great instrumentation on this album, Its sad how people on this board complain about eveyone doing the same old thing, and when someone does finally do something different he gets hated on

Those numbers prove nothing. All of those artists listed have been around for a while. Kanye is a relatively new artist so of course he has yet to reach those numbers.And Addiction > Gold Digger & Celebration

Gwen Stefani sold just as many copies and made more in ticket sales, and she hasn't been around that much longer. Em hasn't been around all that much longer and his album sold more copies than both of Kanye's combined and Em's album sucked. All I'm saying is that Kanye is not Ali right now.

That doesn't take away from the fact that she is still a way more established artist than Kanye is, which explains her larger record sales.....like those really matter quality-wise.
