I think it's really interesting that he was ranting and raving about "real artists" and "talent", when his performance was so heavily auto-tuned, I couldn't tell if it was Kanye West, or Stephen Hawking.

As a mod, I cannot approve of the violence this thread supports.

Oh wait, it's about Kanye West. Carry on.

To be honest, I don't know and don't want to know.

Was he taking up (without reason of course) for her again? Like when Swift beat her...?

Dude wants to be PDiddy so bad it kills him. Dude craves attention.

Quote:What Kanye has managed to do is unlike anyone else. He’s not a divider. It’s not that black people love him and white people hate him. Or men love him and women hate him. Or rap fans love him and non-rap fans loathe him. Or young people love him and old people despise him. Or even that Democrats love him and Republicans think he’s the absolute worst.

He’s found a way to rub large segments of every demographic the wrong way. Even Kanye West fans are split on the public persona of Kanye West. There are few things like it.

Much has been theorized about why he is the way he is. Or what it is about the way he is that is so inappropriate and loathsome. But it’s not that complicated. It all comes back to an idea of Kanye West not being proper, about his lacking a certain respectability.

It’s hard to gain support when you butt heads with respect. But Kanye’s lack of respectability has another wrinkle. It’s this idea of his opinions, ones that should remain private, being made public.

Every single day, I refresh Twitter, I read blog posts, I check Facebook. More often than not, I’m seeing opinions. Every so often, they’re right, or perhaps based in some fact. But typically, they’re hyperbolic, highly emotional, and often wrong. But that’s OK. Because the Internet has largely become a forum where much of the respectability behind the idea of emoting has fallen by the wayside. Has it created an echo chamber of noise and nonsense? Yes. Absolutely. And who knows how to undo that? But ultimately, there’s been an unwritten agreement that it’s better to have the ability to say whatever you want than needing to be screened and pre-approved in order to speak.

And because of that, Beyoncé can sing one of the more important gospel songs ever created, on music’s biggest night, and you can criticize her for having the gall to do that. Are you in the right? Of course not. But you have every right to say that, because it’s your opinion.

Somehow, this act — this right — of supporting whomever and denouncing whomever, doesn’t extend to Kanye West. Because when he does it, it’s obnoxious — even though we turn around and do the same thing, day in and day out.

I think this article brings up some good points. If you want to boil the guy down to some YouTube clips or Internet memes, it's easy to write him off as a a worthless self obsessed *******. I'm probably biased because I respect his work so much, but I honestly think he means well most of the time. He is a passionate guy who has absolutely no filter between his brain and his mouth, he has cameras in his face 24 hours a day, it's a bad combination.

Definitely no excusing his behavior, he brings every bit of the negative attention on himself. As a fan I wish he would stop so people would focus on his work, but also realize that he's a strange dude and that personality feeds into his work.

Seriously? His songs are some of the worst songs I've ever heard... His lyrics are beyond stupid... Shoes without shoestrings and g-strings on top of bee stings? That's freaking retarded.

Not sure if he does this stuff to stay relevant or if he is just a punk, don't care.

Of the songs I've heard, they've all been songs that he needed other people to sing with him, and when you hear the verse that don't make sense and the guy singing it runs out of breath after 3 words, that's Kaney. He's a worthless, racist piece of shiit that can't sing. If it weren't for other people, he'd be screwed.

The only difference between those two is that Sean Combs had decent music and people liked him for the most part. Kaney will never have that.

Someone had to post it so it might as well be me.

Which is why he uses media stunts to cover for his lack of musical talent.

I seriously don't know if Sean Combs is also P Diddy is also Kanye West.

You got it... Rap sucks all the way around, but what he sings trumps the worst of the worst.

Beck has more musical talent and innovation than Beyonce and Kanye combined.

I'm looking forward to about 23 years from now when just after being left by Kim, Kanye starts growing out his hair, wearing North's dresses, and Ryan Seacrest produces a reality show about his transgender journey.

Kanye West is a real tool. I wouldn't get out of the electric chair to go see him.
