I don't mind him.
I watched him perform at the American Music Awards on Sunday(I think) and I thought he sounded really good. I liked the background too.
Although I hate all rap music, and anything around that genre...I can respect what he does. He's different.

His interview from Conan yesterday, he talks about the synths and vocoder at 7:00mints.

He is slightly more talented than average in his trade and a picture perfect description of a guy who thinks his shit smells like roses. I really love how he includes his mom in all his speeches, like it's the all mighty shield that can protect against all and make up for all the arrogance. You gotta give it to his creativity though (like we haven't heard that people are poor, people are racist, people shoot people, people are real people, before) and I'm sure that's what makes him stick out from the bunch... and that he is the only one that has the balls to steal all the left over clothes from the set of all in the family and rock it out on the red carpet.

Yay for kanye!

Originally posted by Zentac_75 Your educated opinion. I have faith. MJ made disco tracks as part of the jackson 5. Eric Clapton was a fantastic guitarist in Cream. Dave Grohl IS as important to Nirvana as Kirk. Im aware it is not the same comparison, but for whatever reason I believe Kanye is an artist, and it is by coincidence not by design that his appeal crosses genres at this point. His music is not YET 'classic' or 'revolutionary'. Now you have to admit that for someone who garners as much negative press for his arrogance and concietedness(sp?) he STILL receives critical acclaim after the most rediculous behaviour besides MJ having sleep overs with little kids.

Its not educated; I just spent alot of my youth listenning to Hip Hop. I realise you were being sarcastic.

I get what you are saying about "faith". It is clear that he can make music; he has a style, his flow is decent and interestingly he is NEVER exclaimed for his flow, rhymes - just his beats and his themes. Thats fine, that is his style. I dont care for it and yes that is my opinion.

I dont see him anywhere in the vicinity of Clapton or MJ; David Groll - yes. Groll has mastered the art of pleasurable pop rock that sits just above the trite nonsense of Nickleback and the like. But again Grolls music post Nirvana is better.

His conceitedness is AS I SEE IT, the progression of the "bling era" of rap music. It obvious, flashy and aims perpetuate an image.

Hip hop has for years crossed or simply sampled elements from litterally all generes of music; 50's/classical/movie soundtracks/metal - so I dont see how Kayne doing it, is any different. Hip hop at its core was always about a few simple things, sampling is a majour one.

At the end of the day I am only uninterested in his image, his music is fine. His image is obvious, tacky and has only gotten more and more irritating.

he is arguably one of the best hip hop producers of all time...i wouldn't call him slightly more talented than average....

I don't think it's necessary to roll your eyes at someone who's stating their opinion of him being slightly better than average. Especially when his post is praising Kanye for the most part.

Despite my minimal knowledge of hip-hop, I would say that considering its long legacy, it's still early in his career to say that he's one of the best hip hop producers of all time. Though he may be well on his way.

i have to say one thing abt this thread. STICK TO EDM!


sometimes its better to keep ur mouth shut and let everyone think ur an idiot then open it and confirm everyones beliefs.


Anyone who doesn't listen to hip hop should not be commenting in this thread. its like me going into a garth brooks thread and saying his latest cd is garbage, not knowing anything abt country music

kanye's latest cd is garbage.

ps. i don't listen to hip hop or whatever they're calling it these days.
