Is his attitude all an act to get people/us to talk about him and his antics?
- nb0
The thing is, he's just not very good at articulating his ideas. If he were, he'd be less hated, I'm sure.
For every time he has said something that makes sense (about art, design or celebrity culture) he's said a hundred things that didn't make sense.
Regardless, as far as I can tell his ideas about celebrity and art, etc are really not amazing, he's not saying anything new. But what if you compare his ideas to what other celebrities are talking about? I'm serious. What has Katy Perry or Snoop Dogg or Jennifer Aniston or Jay-Z or any celebrity ever said that was of any importance? It never happens. Kanye is the only celebrity that talks about shit like art, design and celebrity culture itself.
Other celebrities only talk about themselves, or say obvious shit that is non-controversial. They're protecting their own brand. They're all boring, useless idiots.
And of course a lot of what he says is just controversial shit intended to keep people paying attention to him. Have none of you ever heard of publicity? Don't you all work in advertising? Kanye gets the news (THE FUCKING NEWS!) to talk about him. Have any of your advertising campaigns ever made the evening news?

^ if you randomly mash your keyboard for a while chances are at least one actual word will come out it, maybe even a string of words. Does that make you a genius? I don't know, who am I to judge?

All I'm saying is, the guy knows how to keep himself in the light.
Also, I find it funny when people can't separate his music and his personality. Most people who hate him (including many of you in this thread) will often admit that they haven't heard his last few albums, or have never heard an entire album. It's fine to ignore him, but you can't comment on his music if you haven't listened to it.
I like some of Kanye's records. Yeezus is great, it's not the best album of that year and I'm not putting it in my Top 10, but it's still a good album. When I mention to someone that I like Kanye, they're always like, "Whaaat he's such an asshole! Fuck that guy!" This is usually from someone who hasn't heard his music.
If you say you like any other musician or actor or artist, nobody assumes you like THEM, rather that you like their work. For example, tell someone you like Michael Jackson and they probably will agree, even though that guy was way more crazy and unlikeable than Kanye. I like Polanski movies, and yeah, he definitely should've gone to jail. Still, it doesn't mean his old movies suck.

What is this shit? If this is 'genius' and 'art', then I'm a fucking cross between Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Mozart.
What an imbecile.

so many people seem to make excuses for this douche. no, his music isn't good. it sucks. he sucks. and I suck for even clicking this thread :/

Would love to hear one of those tracks that isolates the voice without any autotune or whatever the hell he uses. He'd probably make Britney Spears sound like Aretha Franklin.

Who gives a shit. I know this has been said probably 100 times in this thread, but the guy makes prominent music (regardless if you like it) and he has a point of view (regardless if you care about it). Frank Lloyd Wright was also an asshole and created some amazing spaces/places.
A more important question is what have you done that is better?- Or garnered more hate?lvl_13
- He's like the Donald Trump of 'music'. What he does is pure shit but he talks up his own success so much that dickwads start believing his nonsense. He bags an ex porn star and he's elevated to messiah status. If he had some semblance of talent I wouldn't care...but compared with real artists, he's a fucking nobody.BusterBoy
