Stay Klassy Kanye

Recommended Posts

Just hope that someday the two of them get Aaliyah'd. Hell, if you get the rest of the Kardashian Klan to board the plane, you won't even NEED extra baggage to make the plane crash.

Musical genius. And a lot of what he says is true if you can get last the arrogance.

Yep. He's got the drum machine and the auto tune mastered. :thumbsdown:

I was aware of West being a complete waste of flesh long before this, old news.

It would have confused me had Sux or Drobeski been capable of appreciating Kanye's music, or had they had the intellect to separate his personality from his talent. So thanks guys for not making my head hurt.

:thumbsup:

I admitted he's good with the drum machine and auto tune...What more do you want?

He's supposedly a decent piano player, but musical genius is quite a stretch, imo.

 

Quite a few >>>Prince >>>>>>> a bunch of others>>>>>Beiber>>>>West

Kanye west is so far from a musical genius its a joke. He IS a genius when it comes to marketing. But as far as music goes he is a giant pile of ###### when compared to those with actual musical genius. I would say he needs to hang around Pharrell but really would not want Kanyes shittty attitude to wear off on him.

Like any Jay-Z songs? Kanye actually produced some of his more mainstream hits. In fact, both him and Pharrell were producers first... so they actually have a lot in common. You can hate him for his personality, but to say he doesn't have talent is WAY off base.

Okay, this may officially tell my age but as a person who group up in the late 80's and 90's when hip hop was really in full bloom and coming to its own, I've come to the realization that hip hop / rap is a young persons music. Even the African Americans I hang out with my age barely even listen to it anymore. They do some, but they've branched out into more sophisticated genre's like Jazz or Blues.

 

I liked rap back in the day. Biggie, Tu-Pac, A Tribe Called Quest. Had all the albums, it was popular and fun. Hell even to this day I could probably lip sync rap half of the songs from those albums. But hearing it today, its stupid. It's for kids who just don't know any better. Sure it takes 'talent' to be good rapper and to have an ear of how to put beats together, but its just not the same as playing your own instrument and layering notes and creating a song with meaning, from scratch. Add that with 90% of what rap songs are about which is bitches, money, crime or self aggrandizing (all Kanye does). Its childs play. I literally laugh out loud when I see 30+ year old white dudes pumping rap music out their ride. Sort of the same when I see 30+ year old dudes at a Star Wars convention.

 

Maybe I'm just getting old. Maybe I'm right. I'm thinking.... its both.

Every six months or so, this turd does something to make people notice "wow, this guy is a giant dooshbag!". Yet somehow, people are surprised every time.

 

I would say he's entered the zone where literally nothing he does can surprise me. He's talented, granted; he's also a huge pile of sh1t.

Have any of you listened to Kanye's first album? No way you can't call that genius. It's a blend of some very hard hitting truths, mixed with a little bit of comedy, wrapped up in some really catchy beats. It's brilliant.

I'd rather be trapped in an elevator with Ray Rice and Giants Fan over Kanye.

 

Please let this fock die already. :thumbsdown:

rap/hip hop appeal to the dumbest of the dumb, and kids. There is a lot of dumb out there. Entertaining and taking advantage of the dumb does not equal genius.

Considering you can't even string together a coherent sentence, most of the time... You calling anyone else stupid is :lol:

No disputing that he says a lot of dumb sh1t. Calling him a genius just shows the bar is pretty low for some people.

We're talking music wise, not personally. As a human, he's pretty much despicable.

I wouldn't call him highly skilled in terms of singing/rapping, but he is elite in terms of producing amazing music and writing amazing lyrics......If you pay attention, there is a lot of self deprecation, confession that he sucks, depth, and humor in his lyrics. But to know that would require a bit of effort beyond reacting to a headline on MSN, so I don't expect most here to ever consider the thought.

 

Just know that critics (people that may know more about modern music than Sux), continually believe his albums to be amazing.

 

2013: Yeezus - The consensus best album of 2013: http://www.metacritic.com/feature/critics-pick-top-ten-albums-of-2013

2010: MBDTF - The consensus best album of 2010: http://www.metacritic.com/feature/best-music-of-2010

 

I can't find their consensus lists going back further, but the Metascores are 87, 85, 79, 95, 94, 84. "On Metacritic, we consider "great" albums -- those we label as having "universal acclaim" from critics -- to be those with a Metascore of 81 or greater." So 6 of his 7 albums are considered universally acclaimed. I wonder if anyone else rates so highly. By comparison, this boards beloved Van Halen has only one album on their and it got a 73. Worse than Kanye's worst. Genius. I won this thread.

Go peddle this crap over at FBGs. The homo ratio is much higher.

You want amazing music, listen to Dream Theater.

You want over produced auto tuned pop, Kanye is your man.
