Lets be honest..Kanye wouldn't be shit if it wasnt for this wannabe artist stick

[StoneColdMikey]

hard to sell an album when you saying fuck the powers that be.... and nobody selling on def jam anyway.

^^ you kidding right, his gimmick was the backpack, good boy rapper compared to the other rappers taht was out. he even raps and talks about this many times.

It was his style, not gimmick. Kanye has changed way too many times to really have a gimmick until at last when he started overdoing the weird artist stuff.

 

[Lab Baby]

Simply put, he's doing it wrong. Nothing wrong with boasting creativity, as long you're not lollygagging in the studio and trying to pass it off as "art".

 

[nujerz84]

He hurts himself with his antics and shit he be saying.. if your shit is great let it speak for itself.

I agree with this thread, i couldn't believe all the critical acclaim that garbage ass album was getting and the funny shit was it was from the nerdy ass music critics and other artist. I think it's safe to say the public strongly disagreed, hence why the album had no legs.

Kanye was making music for Kanye, he forgot about the fans.

I'm not hating on a nigga having confidence but this nigga took it to a whole new level calling himself a God. The drawbacks of being too selfish I guess.

Man, yall need to go see this dude show. He is an artist and he's so damn abrasive that it bothers people. I went last night and that shit was miraculous.. At the same time, he says the darndest shit and people mix that up with the artistry that he consistently produces. I would never want somebody to typecast themselves like people want Kanye to do. He does what the fuck he wants with each album and they are all uniquely different.

His antics hurt the public perception of him more than anything. Other than that...holla @ me when he begins dropping back to back to back garbage albums. Only suspect joints in his catalog are 808s and Yeezus.

The best artists are always a bit eccentric. John Lennon was a huge egotistical asshole, but he's also one of the greatest songwriters of all time. I put Kanye in his category. He may call himself a genius all the time, and it gets grating, but dude backs it up.

Being eccentric is a characteristic of many greats. What separates Kanye from them is that Kanye promotes himself as eccentric and conflicted. It doesn't come off as natural. It all seems fake. Everything he does these days seems like he's screaming "Look at me, I'm different".

John Lennon wrote songs for a band and himself. Kanye needs 3 niggas to write one verse. At least Lennon had a reason.

i gotta ask yall what makes kanye this genius other than his first 2 albums i think most of his shit is wack n extra soft and the nigga aint even producing the best beats of his recent albums what makes him this genius to yall? i dont see it....

cosign the the fullest. he was an innovator a few albums in but never a genius. imagine if steve jobs bitched about the computer market instead of leaving his tech job and creating his own company. Imagine if hendrix bitched about guitars being right handed instead of learning it upside down and becoming a goat. what mr. west does now is bitch about how he can't get in with those art or fashion people instead of actually innovating shit himself and breaking through to be a boss in those industries.

Hahahaha .. .

 

[oatmealdude]

Because every damn review of his album was like this

And you know damn well that New Slaves shit was straight azz but props to my nigga Coonye for using art as a crutch because that projector on 66 walls shit had you gullible feeble niggas thinking it was some major shit when in fact he wasn't saying shit at all.

Which brings me to another point, if you actually got some sort of intelligence then you're able to see past all this faux-art stuff and realize that Kanye isn't saying a god damn thing, none of the shit he says doesn't make any sense but since he started hanging out with French designers and artists you niggas think that every word he says has some underlined meaning. No hate for my nigga Kanye though, he is still a breath of fresh air in hiphop.

Pretty much Yeezus was straight bullshit because this nigga done took this creative shit too far, i get it you gotta let some creative juice flow in the tracks sometimes but all the shit this nigga done put out last few years was nonsense shit. You niggas act like them mothafuckas who stare at a blank canvas painting and be like "Oh, the white color represents the purity and liberation that finally came after the protagonist struggled with difficulties beset by society for all his life" when in reality it is just a god damn white painting you punk poop butt mothafuckas.

Too bad every nigga wants to get his avant-garde on and throw a couple of big words around and voila, you got wannabe "creatives" popping up everywhere. Fuck Kanye and every damn fleet of street gothic niggas that followed suit, if anything he hasn't been anything else than a plague for hiphop. Now you got even struggle rappers getting their leather and religious prints on, even that damn fat ass kid Terio was wearing some Givenchy shit the other day.

So, beyond all the artistic stuff and visuals, i hope you impressionable niggas realize that there is no substance whatsoever in neither his art nor music.

so you saying artist cant have an Common electric circuit moment really and liked that album it was different just like mind control was and thos the pops on those building was dope if you like it or not me i enjoyed yeezus it had alot of EDM influences in it so it wasnt a problem shit go hard in the gym or in the car but i mean thats just my taste in music most people arent ready for one thing you should be happy a black man has that confidence in him to think that he is that shit cause most people in our communities get hung up on the i cants in life and that aint so i do support his art it aint for everybody but dont be mad bruh

Black skin head is the best song on yeezus.
