I could honestly care less for the personality of an artist. His music fucking bumps
malfunctionm1ke
Woahwoahwoah lets not talk crazy here. Kanye is hardly a musician....
Fatpicasso
Yeah because Kanye is the only musician who is full of themselves or is an asshole right? enjoy the fp, he's actually a pretty good artist
iamtheloraxandistealthememes
Wooo lets simplify things past any point of reason

Theflakypoopcrustofanadultdiaper
This is 100% statistically untrue. Nearly all school shooters in the U.S. were born in the U.S. and where not Muslim.
znic
100% untrue? Most terrorist are not Muslims? I can't argue with stupid.

you shut your whore mouth... Kanye is an entertainer at best.. calling him a musician is comparing him to Freddie Mercury

Best living or dead hands down yeea (but seriously Kanye is a fucking legend)
FirstThingThatCameToMind
But I *do* blame the music industry for letting kanye west flourish.
cataleap
*Points gun at person browsing iTunes* BUY THIS ALBUM! YOU TOTALLY DON'T HAVE A CHOICE AT ALL!!
LimJahey
lol at hating Kanye
Shlelis
Blaming muslim for terrorists is absurd. Blaming a religion for the shit it actively condones in their texts though, fairly straightforward.
Shlelis
Irresponsible gun laws coupled with the cultural deification of the actionhero gunman also makes for an explosive mix.
morgan0073
That woman should be stoned to near death for not covering her face. It caused impure thoughts in my mind so she needs to be punished
Theflakypoopcrustofanadultdiaper
I find it strange how people didn't get that this was a joke.
morgan0073
That's why I made a joke as well. Humor is funny
Theflakypoopcrustofanadultdiaper
No I mean your comment. I got that it was a joke. I wasn't talking about the post.
JustAMinnesotaImguy
Nobody blames "all of [group] for [fringe extremists]". But to imply cultures/ideologies don't matter seems strange.

Except for the people who aren't Americans, they should remember their own country of origin.
cataleap
Ok. Is this a joke? Or is this serious? I really can't tell, I'm sorry. So much BS on the internet nowadays.
Chainhealer
It was a serious joke! I was just trying to point out not all Imgurians are from the USA ;)
HamboneSlammer
Why do people hate Kanye, he makes amazing music
Theflakypoopcrustofanadultdiaper
Because he's pretentious and full of himself.
HamboneSlammer
He makes amazing music I could care less, it's not like he's the first artist who's full of themselves
Theflakypoopcrustofanadultdiaper
No but he's the first untalented one.
HamboneSlammer
How is he untalented, dude made some of the best rap music of all time, anyone who is invested at all in the genre respects his music
Theflakypoopcrustofanadultdiaper
No... you must not've heard anything by snoop dog.
TheDeanofLean
What? Kanye is an amazing musician he changed the game of rap, you don't need to rap about being a gangbanger or drug dealer anymore.
fatfury
U never did.I'm not even going to name them off there are so many.where did u get this silly stereo type? Your local news station in 1995?
phrazerlol
Yeah cause eminem wasn't doing songs called stan, the wu dont exist. Tribe called quest are gang bangers, beastie boys are pop.....dude gtfo
thawless
K. was denied by labels due to his education. The album College Dropout discusses this. He initially wanted to study art. Interesting, imo.
PlantainSuperNova
Yeah I wouldn't put Em on the same level as the wu, tribe, or the beastie boys. They're impact on the game is waaay bigger than his.
phrazerlol
Agreed.
TheDeanofLean
Like Eminem didn't rap about beef in Hip Hop
PlantainSuperNova
Em rapped about a lot of stupid shit. Like beating up on his girl, killing his mom, and not to mention all the dumb ass "humor" in his songs
Fatpicasso
Stan? you mean where he beats up his pregnant girlfriend and kills her? He changed the game with 808s/ MBDTF
BadamWarlock
I feel like rap changed forever within the first third of The College Dropout. All Falls Down to Spaceship to Jesus Walks? Most significant
BadamWarlock
rap album produced after Big died.
IAlwaysUpvoteDonGlover
Bring on the downvotes, I can't handle this shit. KANYE IS AN AMAZING AND INNOVATIVE MUSICIAN WHO MAKES GREAT MUSIC
HukDriver
Let change that for "...who makes music I like". I don't like Celine Dion, I will say she's a good technician due to my classical training
Dayummmmmm
Yea but the fact that he's a ass actually makes me dislike his music. And I was a huge college dropout fan.

People misconstrue blaming islamic dogma for terroism into blaming all muslims for terroism.
IsmokedAweedOnce
TBF I still blame Jayz for Kanye
iamthisguy247
If it wasn't the Roc it would have been with someone else. His beats were undeniably good, rappers were going to use him. Solo would be next

Muslims have a flawed Ideology called Islam which they use as an excuse for violence. Not all Muslims are terrorists but %60 agree with it

overworkedcollegestudent
Honestly tho, as a musician Kanye is pretty talented. *insert unpopular opinion puffin* downvote away
DigitalWaffle
He is. But a giant douchebag. That ego of his make you want to hate him.
TheRealArclight
says who....ppl who have shit taste in music...yup thats who..
Fatpicasso
Who do you listen to?
Janusha
Lil Wayne too, Im sure. But he sure as hell aint smart with the shit he says.
0956
Definitely. I am not a fan of that genre but he is good. Just a terrible cunt of a person.
IHatePuns
Late Registration was incredible. Didn't like anything after that.
OF37
Music wise he got talent but he is an asshole, same for justin beiber his new music is really good but he is an asshole
somanywonders987
He's an excellent musician and producer. People let his inflated ego get in the way of that.
20060578
He's one of the best producers of all time but he can't rap for shit

MBDTF is one of the best albums of all time.

oh, what does he play?
overworkedcollegestudent
Everything
imjusthereforthemoneynotyourbs
I agree
smarmageddon
Tbh he did a song on SNL a few years back and I was like, damn that's entertaining. Still a garbage person tho.
GeorgeGeef
His performance of Power (with the ballerinas) was one of the all-time best SNL musical performances.
smarmageddon
Yeah that was the one. I'm not sure if I would praise it quite THAT much, but I couldn't help but enjoy it.
WaGreatimes
I'd like to hear this
IAlwaysUpvoteDonGlover
It was probably Ultralight Beam or Wolves
iamawaffleiron
I don't think he's really a garbage person, I think he just doesn't understand political correctness. I have an uncle that acts similar.
smarmageddon
I think he doesn't understand how to not sound like a completely self-involved asshole.
chrisdafish
I think the song was Black Skinhead
smarmageddon
it was Power

Thanks but that's not the one.
deltajesus
He's talented, it's just a shame he's a cunt.
Riyakou
As a composer, I very much disagree.
overworkedcollegestudent
Not saying I'm a musician, saying him as a musician he is one of the most talented producers, wouldn't have gotten where he is if he wasn't
Riyakou
he sells, not because he's talented. I'm not saying he has no talent at all, but to say he is one of the most talented producers is a (2)
Riyakou
For the record, I'm not against sampling or arranging. I'm against the excessive use of them, as well as the strong perpetuation. (4)
Riyakou
huge overstatement. Much like the Matt Stone and Trey Parker, he cannot produce a single work without using someone else's to do it. (3)
overworkedcollegestudent
When does he do this
Riyakou
That is most certainly not true. The American music industry has a long history of placing money over merit. Kanye is huge because (1)
overworkedcollegestudent
And money goes where talent is, talent is an opinion and people get famous based on how many people think they have talent.
overworkedcollegestudent
The first song Kanye released was of him rapping with his jaw wired shut and the song became huge. So you can disagree but Kanye became (1)
overworkedcollegestudent
Everyone at the top of record charts is talented, most to all of producers/rappers/bands were not millionaires who decided to make music
overworkedcollegestudent
a household name through music, not through the Kardashians or Yeezy, there is definitely a huge amount of talent in that (2)
imanmuffinman
He's trash compared to everyone else. Most of his songs are not even produced or done by him
overworkedcollegestudent
Peep runaway
contrabille
I though he made 5 beats a day for 3 summers.
Fatpicasso
No thats wrong. He produces a lot of his own music. and done by him? you mean like writing? he writes his songs too. who do you listen to?
overworkedcollegestudent
And ultralight beam
PlantainSuperNova
He produces most of his stuff and was known for being a producers before he got big. 1/2
PlantainSuperNova
Bruno Mars, Pharrel, and Kanye are responsible for most of the hits released in the past decade. 2/2
thescapisto
John Lennon, Miles Davis, Prince, James Brown and the list goes on, all talented & praised musicians but in personal life complete assholes.
Riyakou
Prince wasn't an asshole; he was just a massively dedicated musician and demanded the best out of his team. Irritating, but not an asshole.
GoodieHoodie
Louie Armstrong too.
bendap
He definitely has an ear for music. I don't see how anyone could argue that. He's just a douchebag about it.
Riyakou
He is a shinning example of how little the industry cares for originality and honed craft. Selling shit doesn't make it any less shitty.
ImAkuTheShapeShiftingMasterofDarkness
Yeah. He has an entire album of him singing how great he is. Even though I liked it, it's still a douche move.
thawless
And several songs about feeling abandoned by his "Big Brother", Jay-Z, refusing to talk to him or attend his early shows to help him grow.
GeorgeGeef
It was also a joke.
GeorgeRobertTwelvesHewes
He has a douchey persona but I bet he'd actually be a really fun guy to be around
thawless
From interviews, he's quiet, reserved and respectful. Very kind, open and calm.
420xxx69CommunismWillWin69xxx420
"Bound 2." Checkmate. That song is basically the worst song of all time.
BadamWarlock
It's much better in the context of the full album, but Yeezus was one of his weaker albums anyways.
SanityMadness
You cannot produce a few masterpiece song without some rubbish slipping through your brain
420xxx69CommunismWillWin69xxx420
True I suppose, but normally people look at the rubbish that a person has produced and say "You shouldn't do this."
ConcernedBystander
False equivalence, how many countries are governed according to a literal interpretation of Kanye West lyrics?
Pbmaze
3?
ConcernedBystander
Maybe, for all I know. I'll be honest, I didn't carry out much research before making that comment.
capughe
I still can't blame all Muslims, but I can blame religion. Not singling out Islam, most religions are trouble. Buddhism seems ok.
ConcernedBystander
Even Buddhism has its problem children, but on the whole yes, religion and those who perpetuate and enable it are dangerous.
BadamWarlock
God, that would be a great country. "No sins as long as there's permission and deception is the only felony."
ecodude
"So don't ever fuck nobody without telling me" I'm uncomfortable about this government...
BadamWarlock
Eh. It'll be like telling Mike Pence that you're changing your tampon, except you have to give Kanye a call before you fuck. Easy peasy.
instantbeetle
Religion still breeds culture, people raised as conservative (muslim, christian etc.) still more likely to be homophobes, misogynist etc.
instantbeetle
It might not be all, but I bet if you did a population study you'd find more incidences of discrimination in religious vs. non

The only difference is that most musicians don't support Kanye while most muslims support in some way terrorism.

superiorninja
Most? Most? Dude, did you ever see one Muslim in real life before?

Have you seen any statistics in your short life?
idunnoyou
Looking at you Beyonce. Your man did this.

Jay-Z was/is an asshole. Far more pretentious and rude than West.
TehRap
No. No it's not. None of these things are similar
hawkesnightmare
Yes it is. The message is the same. "Just because some people in a group are shitheads does not mean the whole group are shitheads."
AmOlie07
No man, it's not gun owners it's the widespread and easy availability of guns. And not all gun death is due to crime (suicide, accident)
Riyakou
I blame terrorists for the negative image of Muslims, murderers for the hellish debate on guns, and Kanye for the promotion of shitty music.
TwoVhsCopiesOfGoodfellas
And negative media image, I fail to understand can think they're all terrorist when 1.6b people are Muslim. Educate motherfuckers.
SpikeSpiegeil
I never listened to Kanye, but some say that his older songs are actually good.
iamthisguy247
He's a shitty person, but he has nothing to do with shitty music.
intolerabletolerance
Did you just say that? His latest album is the equivalent of a dirty hooker throwing up on a possum in an alleyway.
iamthisguy247
It was still well received critically, though far more mixed than usual. It may be the weakest album of his incredible career, so high level
Riyakou
He is a shitty producer. He eclipses the value of original composition with his claim of genius, despite his excessive use of sampling.
Fatpicasso
LOL he was a huge producer before he was a rapper. but keep spewing shit you have no clue about
Riyakou
As a composer, I think I know quite a bit about music, as it's part of the job. Being huge doesn't mean you're talented.
ReleaseTheSounds
All art is an amalgamation of the creators influences.

Funny I blame the gun lobby and their millions of dollars/yr contributions to lawmakers for the fierce opposition to any/all gun laws.
SanSilv
I blame the relaxation of American mental institutions in the 1960s, releasing tens of thousands of people. We show a very real spike in the

gun murder rate because of this. Its due to the relaxation of the US mental health system. The NRA is cancer anyway.
NotABadLookingNarcissist
That, along with murderers, gang violence and people who accidentally kill family members.
guactopus
I blame the overwhelming majority of muslims painting a negative image of muslims. There's maybe 5 million muslims in North America and 1/2
Riyakou
There are over 1.3 billion Muslims on this planet. How many do you honestly think are painting this negative image?
guactopus
Saudi Arabia alone as about 4 times the population of all westernized muslims in NA and EU. The overwhelming majority of Saudis subscribe to
guactopus
Sharia law. Saudi Arabia is one of the least populated Sharia countries out of about a dozen.
guactopus
I suppose overwhelming majority was an exaggeration on my part, but they are not the minority. Westernized muslims are the minority
CephalopodLodge
Most
guactopus
80 million in pakistan, a country where 99% of the population support Sharia law. And Pakistan is just one of about a dozen sharia nations
FatPaki
Shows how much you know about Pakistan..

You are right. Afghanistan was the 99% one. Only a meager 84% of Pakistan's 80 million support Sharia law. My mistake
