the man is the talent... he's coming out with the best shit right now, he's on top of the game... he doesnt rap violence, he keeps it real... so why the hate ?
-
i donīt think a lot of people dislike Kanye coz of his music, i think it has to do with his persona. in every other interview/article he comes off as an arrogant asshole and thatīs why a lot of people dislike him. i donīt give a shit but Kanye does make himself out to be a lot better then he actually is and that rubs some peeps the wrong way.
-
i dont like this kind of rap, i like the agressive kind of rap, with a heavy bass and a gangsta ass beat with some agressive lyrics and a dope ass flow. nerdish rap is not for me, maybe my mama would like this, i mean, the dude made the front page of times, i think that the peoples who bought his cd are non hip hop peoples, he is more appealing to them, like eminem did the real slim shady.
-
he had like 1 or 2 listenable songs and the rest is fucking bullshit, that style is so wack

exactly - arrogant asshole. great producer but arrogant asshole
-
ya he doesnt talk abotu all the usual stuff but it's not like he's above it. he lets everyone know how special he is, kangay west.
-
hes arogant as hell, but that doesnt bother me, to me its just music, it bothers me that he does use classic old songs and speeds them up and ruins the whole song, but he drops heat,

welll if listening to music with meaning and some kind of subject matter is nerdish, then damn im a fuckin nerd...cos Kanye is one of the only ones out right now in the mainstream getting away with releasing quality music with real depth and meaning and still making a success of it...so what if he loves himself, i prefer to judge his music on how it sounds rather than how he publicises himself...its a shame there arent more people like him in hip hop right now...maybe then we wouldnt be plagued with so much bullshit material being released...
-
coz hes a samplewhore
never liked his music or productions.

it's his fucking attitude that gets me. don't get me wrong, i bump his shit all the time, i just can't take that fucking attitude.
-
he's dope, and even his attitude (most of the time) is a refreshing change from the usual bullshit i see (usually on TV).
-
plus his music really isnt that deep at all, no real insights into anything he just uses hot words occasionally to make us think he's rapping about something important.

I agree with the people who say he's too arrogant, but I don't really hate him for that reason. Good music is good music, and besides, hip-hop is a genre that encourages egotism, anyway. If I hated on every rapper with a major ego, I wouldn't be listening to half of what comes out.

Gee, pardon us for being intelligent and able to appreciate music that's actually got substance, instead of just attitude. If I'm a nerd because I like his type of music, so be it.
See, stupid white kid like you who only buy albums cuz they're "gangsta" are the reason why hip-hop is so fucked up today.
-
like i said before, i respect kanye for not following trends and steppin out and makin his own kinda music. but he gets too much credit as a prodcuer (has he even made a beat without a sample?). and plus...

Exactly. His music has substance and is innovative. So what if he has a big ego. Anyone heard of KRS-One?
-
Kanye has a big ego, but at this point in my life that is not as a much of a character flaw as with all these fake ass rappers pretending they gangsters.
Kanye is by far the most important new artist to hiphop in the last five years, whether you like his music or not he brought something new and has had a huge impact on the game. Most importantly, he really cares about making quality albums front to back, something very few artists do nowadays.
-
coz hes a samplewhore
never liked his music or productions.
yeah, he's not being original with it and making a beat from scratch
he's such a fag anyways the way he acts and his music makes me wanna kill myself it's so annoying
plus the whole MTV crowd is behind him, and we know how clueless those people are
he trys way too hard
plus his music really isnt that deep at all, no real insights into anything he just uses hot words occasionally to make us think he's rapping about something important.

wow that's a really deep and insightful comment by you ::)
so any white person who listens to rap only listens to gangsta rap and likes it because they're gang related? :grumpy:
-

Thats such crap.....it's comments like this that make people always wanna just rap like 2pac. His style is deep and yes more R&B recently to hit more deeply than just gangbanging. Explaining more realistic things like love for his mother, struggle to rap even after a big accident, making beats, taking huge risk like dropping outta skool to do what u believe in, and the insecurities of a person not sure what their doing in college.
-

No, never said that, but that's what this kid said is the reason HE listens to it. Unfortunately, there are too many white boys who are more interested in attitudes than substance, so that's what the rich white record execs give them, and that, in turn, is what's been plaguing hip-hop.
I don't mind white kids liking hip-hop, but I don't think there's any doubt that they are the reason why the art form has become a bastion of ignorance instead of street knowledge.
-
so, white people are the reason why rappers are rappin about rims, jewelry & all that shit? get outta here .. you will always have the ones who like hiphop for its 'art form', then you'll have the ones who like it for being popular .. when rappers find something else to finally rap about, the popular crowd will be down with that. nobody is forcin people to buy trash that is talkin about cars, money etc..
how many black people do you see wearin jewelry, drivin cars with expensive rims etc.. vs white people?
-
Because Kanye is fuckin cocky as hell, but he can back it up. Other rappers gotta fake it just to sell records, Kanye keeps it real.
I mean he gets bitches wearing teddy bear sweaters. How gangsta is that?
-
i hate kanye west because.......
Hes mainstream
12 year olds listin to kanye west
Those 12 year olds are girls who listen to whatever their friends listen to who listen to whatever is on Mtv.
Gay ass R and B tracks.
i hate his voice, his flow, i dont like his rapping.
i hate his beats.
i hate the way he acts arragant asshole motherfucker.
Kanye West..... I HATE THAT GUY.
-
"Addiction" is fiyaaah!
-
Only 2 beats he did I like are 'Jesus Walks' (which he totally ruins btw by rappin over it) and Knoc's 'Music'
The guy's an arrogant bitch, he acts like he's retarded, he sux and I just totally hate him
-
Nobody hated the guy when he was just producing....funny.
-
^^Well, u got a producer making hits (even tho I don't like his beats) for gangstas and then u see him coming out
wearing teddy bear sweaters.
kinda disillusioning. And if a guy like that starts acting like some cocky bitch...
-
plus his music really isnt that deep at all, no real insights into anything he just uses hot words occasionally to make us think he's rapping about something important.
Exactly. He puts out a song like Jesus, makes it sound like it's something spiritual but it's the same stupid rap song with pointless similes, illogical complaints, and self promotion. Then comes right back with couple stupid misogynistic songs that pretend that they aren't misogynistic but they are.
The guy is a clown. You break him and down and he's ust like any other rapper. The only difference is he's convinced people that he isn't.
