C'mon, saying his shit is wack is just crazy. NO, he is not a gangster and maybe not a lyrical genius with a vicious flow, but the dude is CREATIVE and brings someting different to rap, which is more than you can you say about pretty much any rapper in the past 8 years. Yes, Kanye is an arrogant jerk sometimes, to the point its almost embarrassing. BUt ting is, this guy really cares about music and puts is all into making a whole album of shit he wants to make, he doesnt just make one hit song or shit people want, he tries to push te envelope. He is by FAR the most important new face to rap in the last 8 years, who else )besides Slim Shady EM) has brought anything new and relevant to commercial hiphop? I mean, ya'll don't gotta like him but give the dude some credit, hes exaclty what thhe game needs.
And for the idiots saying all Kanye's fans are MTV teenagers, wake the fuck up! To many non-rap fans, Kanye's raps are refreshing and have brought them to be fans of hiphop due to his non-gangster lyrics and occasional acknowledgement of being just a regular guy instead of sme gun-toting, drug dealing gangster from the hood! Can all rappers really be drug dealers or Crips, and is that all you guys wanna hear?????? Me, i'm getting older and Kanye brought me back into rap when i was starting to outgrow it. No, his new album is not full of commercial singles, but it is good (although wierd) music from front to back (minus golddigger) and you can tell he put some effort into it unlike most rappers (or any genre for that matter). I'll never understand the hate Kanye's music receives.........who cares what acts like in an interview, you mutherfukkas don't have to date him or anything. Besides, its nice to here from someone being real, not someone being "real" about how gangster they were or are. We have enough of that in hiphop, props to Kanye for bringing something new.

There's too many homothugs in the world. They don't feel his shit because it doesn't have gunshots in it.
If it ain;t your taste in music, cool. It's kinda hard ot call the guy wack though production wise.
-
He is a great producer but he is arrogant and his music doesn't appeal 2 me. And I do like more than just gangsta rap. He's a double negative 2 me.
-
Yea, I guess people are tripping off his attitude, and his cockiness, or whatever. But in my book, if you make good music, I don`t care about your attitude
-
He's a good producer, but only a so-so rapper.
-
Late Registration is one of the best produced albums ive heard in a while. Each song fucking grows on you. The creativity behind Gone and hwo each verse basically uses a different type of beat from the rapper is simply genius. Im loving this CD

no denying he's talented, he's just fuckin annoying as shit, dude thinks he's the shit, gets on my nerves, dude is faggot for real
-
Who cares about attitude ? If I gave any attention to mcs behaviour I wouldn't listen to one single mc !.
-
^^ not really though, some guys have a humble way about sayin they tha shit 8) which is hard
-
basically, Kanye be storin his fans nutz in his mouth ;)

he´s on the hook.

After giving the album another listen it's not getting any better. It's too long and there are too many stupid skits.

yea i hate skits in general coz very few of them are good. that´s what fucked up his first album aswell atleast in my opinion. but Kanye gets a plus in my book for tryin things that are risky from a commercial perspective.

Its onyl 4 skits that basically talk about the same thing
-
kanye is dope !!! he's got some real cool tracks on college drop-out and he's got some street rhymes on there too, but i havent heard late registration yet...
-

-
kanye got my respect for doin somethin different, and i wish more cats would try something new. but as far as this new album...its weak.

That's so true man. That shit si well produced and layered. I'm feelin Crack Music like a muthafucka now. The song gets better and better.
-
fuck kanye :)
-
All of those voice samples he uses are waaaaaaaaaay played out. I can listen to a couple here and there but he uses them for most of his songs (at least on College Dropout). To say the least, his music is listenable, but I would never buy his CDs. Just not my style.
-
I love Kanyes music. Cant wait to pick up the new album. I still bump College Dropout a hell of alot.
-
i respect kanye's music and skill... and as a person i'm split.. he comes across as a great guy sometimes.. and an arrogant over-confident asshole others.. but he knows this about himself and he's humble sometimes too..
as for the albums.. college dropout is tight.. a few too many skits.. the new album isnt as good as Common's "Be".. but i havent really got into the new album yet..

Yeah pretty much....somtimes he's a cool dude, like at the Grammys when he went up there to accept his award. that shit was funny as hell. So Kanye is cool in my book. Im not gonna change my thoughts about his music just cause he comes off as an asshole in interviews.
But I gotta give the album a few more plays before I can really judge it. But so far its not as good as "Be" like you said Seer.
-
his music (and himself) just seems to be the hippy music of hip hop...got its following saying its soothing and artsy...its ok if ask me...worth a listen or two...buts not gonna be bumping my car anytime soon
-
I haven't heard the new album yet but I got nothing bad to say about the dude. He does his thing.
-
like some of his stuff but his new album is wack.
