Can somebody explain Kanye West to me?

[LovinNothin]

I really don't get it. He can't sing. He can't dance. He can't act. He can't write an original song or a melody. He has no natural talent other than the ability to talk, rhyme words to a beat (which any 4th grader can do) and yet people flock to his concerts?

His shows have no production value, no sets, and just minimal lighting. So it can't be to see some elaborate visual show. So what gives? And when he does "attempt" to sing (if you call it singing) he ALWAYS uses a voice auto tune unit because he can't attempt to sing without it. He has no natural pitch, which is a minimum requirement of any singer.

I just don't get it? Does he and Kim K know something we all don't? How does this couple with no natural talent, make so much money based on hype?

If it weren't for rap music and the gullibility of mindless 17 year old fans, this clown would be selling shoes at Foot Locker.

Oh, wait, I forgot, HE DOES SELL SHOES.

Are Millennials really that stupid?

He is a self-promoting media whore with a wife who is the queen of the same.

Talent is not needed in today's world...just the ability to get people's attention regardless of how you do it.

There you go and don't forget to vote TRUMP!

Rumor has it he will be playing Madea in Tyler Perry's next movie.

I can explain him with one word

• Genius

[kane]

In short, Kanye made it okay for Rap and hip hop to be self-conscious. Basically, most hip hop is about bravado. I am the best, I have the most, I fuck the most chicks, I have the biggest cock etc. Kanye made fun of himself and had odd, funny, strange lyrics. He also pulled a lot more old school soul into his sound.

So he basically took hip hop and wrapped it in pop and soul and made it okay to be a weirdo then when others started to imitate him and adopt his style and sound, he left it behind and made a record that has almost no samples, minimalistic styling and he relies mostly on his voice and auto tune to make the melodies.

808's and Heartbreak is widely considered his best record because of the drastic change in style, but I think My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is Kanye at his best. The sound jumps all over the map and often breaks down in a very experimental fashion. The lyrics are brilliant and it has a bit of schizophrenic feel to it. Listen to this record. If you like it and get it, you will understand why Kanye is influential. If you don't, fair enough, he's not for everyone.

3/4 poop - any poop will do. Adjust to preferred skin tone.
1/4 monkey meat.
jam into a blender
puree for 1 minute.
Oila, out pops Kanye

Yes they think his wife is somebody.

A supposed marketer, not getting why someone is successful at marketing. Pretty much par for the course here these days I guess. No fan of his at all, but how can anyone not get why he is successful? How can anyone here 'not get' why kim k is successful? Are gfy marketers really this stupid?

Album is good? A whole album?

Can you even name 2 hit songs from this fool, that don't include stealing somebody else's song and talking over it? (you might say 'rapping over it' but rapping and talking are the same thing to me.)

you can't? of course you can't, because he doesn't have 2 hits songs.

He has ONE song, the Ray Charles song, "I've got a Woman" that he TALKS OVER and PATS HIMSELF ON THE BACK FOR.

Any 4th grader can talk and rhyme over another song.

Why do people look the other way when a 'black rapper' steals another man's work and gets famous for it?

Rap Music = Affirmative Action for musicians.

That's all it is. People with NO TALENT and only know how to talk, use rap as a way to get attention.

While the rest of the world looks at him and thinks... "Awe, the poor black man with no talent, let's go easy on him, cause he can't sing or write his own songs... but he's black so give him a break."

Pathetic.

[ErectMedia]

I grew up on da old school...

Eazy
2Pac
Biggie
Rakim
Nas
Run D.M.C
Kurtis Blow
Slick Rick
KRS-One

etc... never been a fan of Kanye or Eminem as it's like they both robbed the library of Dr. Suess books and started rhyming. Nice video to show how much he sucks compared to Rakim, Nas, KRS-One...



Think he does better on the production end than on the mic as his flow is weak.

[CaptainHowdy]

Art is dead, so Kanye West is a truly contemporary artist.

You don't like, nor, know jack shit about rap. Until you've written and produced one rap song "like any fourth grader" on Kanye's level you don't really have any place to talk about how little talent it takes. A lot more goes into it than "talking over someone else's music." Kanye is one of the most talented producers in the rap game.

lol. fucking ignorant as all hell.

LOL. When I was a kid I loved Huey Lewis and the News. I still enjoy them as a nice distraction. It's good pop music to bob your head to and listen to while you are working or doing things, but I wouldn't say it was anything ground breaking.

My favorite rant in that book is when he goes off on Phil Collins and Genisis.
