Kanye West, Fuck you

Posted by stevieboy32808 on Nov-03-2006 20:27:

I don't think he's a brilliant producer. A lot of the stuff I hear from the Kanye on the radio are sampled from very old records before any of you were even born. He slows them down and modernizes them to fit a hip-hop sound. For example the "Touch The Sky" track for the video Kanye bragged about was sampled from an old RnB record by Curtis Mayfield called Move On Up done in 1970.

You've obviously not stepped into a club for a long time then.

the directors: ROZAN & SCHMELTZ

It means fuck all. Fatboy Slim and the Chems have won loads of similar awards for their videos.

Thanks. Did they say that in the video? I couldn't really hear much due to the dubbing. Has anyone found a better copy of the video? There was one on TMZ that I found when I news googled the story, but it's only 40 seconds long, cutting off most of it and worse video quality.

BTW, fuck youtube, sorry the video's gone guys.

Best I can do - http://wwww.tmz.com/2006/11/03/kanye-to-mtv-you-suck/

MTV Overdrive might have it, but I can't get much from their site since I don't have an updated Flash player on my work computer (and can't install)

So did Daft Pubk, Prodigy+++

If you think that EDM tracks winning awards like Best Video on MTV means fuck all then you need to wake the fuck up.

Justice is also far from mainstream

Kanye didn't produce Touch The Sky, Just Blaze did. However, sampling oldies or soul tunes and pitch them up or down has been done in hip hop for ages, it's a very hip hop thing, so to speak.

Personally i really like Kanye West, i like his productions, it's good music. He made a tune on Lupe Fiasco's album, "Cool", it's fantastic. I like him as a lyricist too, he doesn't spit the most intricate rhymes or the most clever lyrics but there is just something catchy about his voice and his delivery style, he sounds a bit mindless. Some criticize his flow, or lack of, the way i see it he has a decent flow but you can hear he has like a hard time keeping it up. That way you can feel the effort he puts into what he does, and that gives a genuine feel to his raps.

The music aside, he probably is an idiot, but i can't say i care. I don't like peoples music because of how they are as persons. I don't know the persons of whose music i listen to, i don't want to and i don't need to know them, i don't care.
