I bet Kanye made that bitch famous.
SuperNintendoChalrmers
You can be both
fantasticlight
Mozart was an asshole.
HalfOpenSkies
Neither is mutually exclusive.
admiralgeneralmanbearpig
I'm pretty sure they're both geniuses and assholes.
taylorsassymylee1
Yes yes he is...and a Douchebag
kayakninjas
I'm told that Kanye has done some really innovative things with his music. He may not be a genius, but he's more than just a dick.
Was Kanye the one who told you that?
GGCrono
I have heard this said about Kanye: "[He's] a musical genius. The problem is, he knows it."
LogicalSenselessness
Oh wow look at that. Another person complaining about Kanye. For someone you people hate so much all you fucking do is talk about him
Not complaining - just observing. And, I don't hate him. I'd have to know him for that and he's much too special to hang with me.
tehmeisterer
Not really fair to compare history's greatest musical phenom to Mozart like that.
Mozart would apologize I'm sure. Blame me, don't hold him responsible.
gifOfSamRockwellDancing
Pretty sure Kanye is a genius and an asshole. His public behavior does not detract from his artistry.
imaginedear
Mozart, Beethoven, Michelangelo were all pretty much assholes.
As for Kanye his work has legitimately impressive rhyming schemes, structure, et cetera.
stillNotaDude
The real question here is does he like fish sticks?
LandmineAdvocate
Kanye West may be an asshole but you're out of your fucking mind if you think he isn't talented.
People are relying on a vague and personal idea of what genius is. This is a stupid comparison because the terms haven't been made clear.
binkylives
Mozart was an asshole too
horrocj1
But is Kanye a genius?
Musically, maybe not, but at the modern PR game, unquestionably
I think he's bipolar. Maybe just a personality disorder. Either way I don't blame him for being a complete asshole. He suffers delusions.

HeIIYeah
cmpltkaos
Kanye's a great producer, mediocre (at best) rapper, but definitely no genius.
SqueakShow
And cannot sing. I've heard him live. Talk about tone deaf.
IMoveWithTheEleganceOfAnAfricanElephant
People literally laughed Kanye off as a rapper see: Jensen Karp's Kanye West Owes Me $300. His hubris was hand's down his greatest asset.
MikeTornado
Regardless,... you just compared Kanye West to Mozart. Good job.
I don't think so. I simply questioned Kanye's self-proclaimed "genius."
kingcolbster
To be fair, he is rich, he is popular, he has one of the prettiest girls in the country as his wife, and he is one of the most successful1/2
Artists of our time. And most of his music pre 'watch the throne' was great. If that's not some kind of genius, idk what is
You just described half the Rick stars out there.
But I mean Kanye's first 4/5 albums were REALLY good. Have you ever listened to them? His newer music fell off but I miss the old Kanye
zma123456
Kanye, aside from being an asshole, his music is good. Listen to through the wire. He also wrote for big artists and has the most Grammies.
NotThatJoeYouKnow
I hear that Mozart did some weird shit... there could be more to that comparison
Spiderskullisland
shit's relative, bruh
It also smells bad.
BrainMop
Kanye and Mozart could be both a genius and an asshole at the same time.
KeyUnit
What makes someone wake up and think "Today I am going to make a meme talking shit on Kanye, that will show em!"?
I saw a picture of him. That's all it took.
ThreeDimesDown
Wait, I thought Mozart was an entitled little prick?
TobySomething
I'm sure everyone upvoting this listens to loads of mozart
Gsxs1000
You do, you just don't know it's Mozart because youth today are culturally retarded.
RelaxGuyYouNeedARest
I listen to neither and I still think Kanye is a giant douche.
AaronBarreto
He is, but his music doesn't suck, he is actually a great producer. Still an asshole, tho...
lenomdeplume
More Mozart than Fish Dick.
Haydanas
More than I listen to Kanye tbh.
CitizenDickbag
I've performed Mozart more times than you've had sex.
assklown
So once?
marsbaltz
Once?
This isn't really a burn unless you have had sex with more people than I have. And given how busy you are playing Mozart, probably not
I'm gay and spent my 20s living in NYC.
Ok you win
Bigemedic
Ha! That's nothing to brag about! Er...
bmmead
Performed Mozart today!
LilLarrySellers
Kanye on a harpsichord vs W.A. Mozart on a laptop with FL/ a beat machine. Each are given two weeks. Who wins?
jamesx
Since I doubt Kanye knows how to use a computer, pretty sure Mozart will do better.
furiafighter
YOU DECIDE!! EEEEEEPPPPPIIIICCCCCC RAP BATTLES OF HHHIIIISSSTTTTTOOOORRRRRYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
FatForYou
Kanye probably. Mozart wouldn't give a shit about competing. He'd only care about the computer witchcraft
JudgeRhymehold
Well considering technology would look like magic probably Kanye. But Mozart would really only need pen and paper, tops
FlyingTigerRose
Mozart, of course.
Greymalum
Mozart hands down, dude was a genius and spoke multiple languages, instruments, and wrote a song for you to kiss his white ass. W. F. A. M.
Kopachris
And he wrote another song about rimjobs (different from Leck mich im Arsch)
Leafshield
People upvoting this either don't listen to kanye or didn't know how much of an asshole mozart was.
Toasterpops
If Kanye was a skinny white gay man everyone would love him for being an asshole. Truth is he's a smug artsy guy who was a great producer
JustABC123
Why does everything boil down to race... We don't hate him cuz he's black, we hate him cuz he's an obnoxious a**
BubblesSayingDecent
Kanye used to be a genius but the kardashians fucked him up and took his deep insecure lyrics and turned them into obnoxious bullshit.
"All falls down" is a testament to the soul that he used to put into his lyrics and now its just egocentric obnoxious trash.
IsaacZehPanda
Why would I listen to the guy who compares himself to Jesus Christ? Lol
Or maybe they do
AnswerLady
K is a narcissistic a**hole.
CanICallYouDaddy
So was Mozart, it's what happens when you have the queen of a nation applaud your musical talent since age 5.
thezookeeper
Yeah but Mozart was an asshole genius. Kanye is just Kanye
Ireallydonthaveanyideawhattonamemyself
So.. Kanye > Mozart. I mean, he's kanye.
Ok. Sure.
Pigletwrangler
Maybe Mozart acted like Kanye in his time. How can we know for certain?
sweetfumblebee
After studying him, I think it's a safe assumption that he definitely was.
bogus1983
In the absolute worst case scenario, they're both assholes and one of them was also a genius (hint: not Kanye).
Shoodlenoodle
Watch a movie called Amadeus. It's not entirely based in fact, but it portrays Mozart pretty accurately. At least according to what Ive read
Name4What
He didn't. I was there, trust me.
primadonna13
Mozart was nuttier than a fruitcake. Look it up.
manymarbles
I miss the old Mozart
catFarm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leck_mich_im_Arsch
IvnWng
To be fair Mozart was kinda wacky back then...
These two being compared in regards to genius is absurd. Not saying Kanye isn't a genius, but maybe take a min to look up Mozart on wiki
vengfish
I've heard quotes from Kanye and quotes of his lyrics. He's not a genius.
[deleted]
thesixthcourier
I wouldn't necessarily call him a good artist, but he's a VERY good entertainer, which is it's own kind of genius.
Drunkeroc
Probably not as much as he thinks.
He was known for his lack of candor and obsession with poop and flatulance so yeah maybe
LiteCow
Seriously, is this true?
Yeah look it up
MuayThaiGifs
ZappaFrank
WOW
LiterallyWorseThanHitler
He wrote a piece whose title literally translates as "Lick me in the ass"
TheHegem0n
The world needs more people like mozart
BaloneyBob
It's called "Lick My Love Pump"
Verldemert
Sauce..?
AgainstMethod
A lack of candor is tact or subtlety. I don't think that's what you meant.
I thought t's defined as a forthcoming, openness, etc.
Right, typically to some uncomfortabe degree. You're saying he wasn't forthcoming or open. I think stories say that he was fairly candid
Nah he was a prankster that you could never trust but his saving grace was his ear and skill with the keys
thebluestthingsonearth
But was he a gay fish?
whyistheusernamealwaysgone
OneZebraInAHerdOfWildebeests
He liked fish sticks
dugforcett
Did he like fish dicks in his mouth?
bearstrike
He was a gay swan
