^^ whoa, chill dude!! my post was in the context of what Kayne did at the Grammy's. not as a musician or producer or anything else and i like him just fine. wasn't comparing Zappa or West as artists.

he's just not a spokesman for these kinds of things, whether if he was being serious or not. he's definitely not as articulate AS YOU are when expressing his opinions.

it seems to me his critique of the grammy system was a back fire that again shot it's load in his face. like he was dared to jump up there and do it. your clearly not too stupid to see this considering the before and after of his comments.

do you want me to quote the before and after Beck incident?

sev I love the whole Kanye destroyed Puffy thing. That's a good thought.

**"uh uh Duh!!! Bush doesn't care about....yo.. yo Beyone had the greatest of all duh"**

**shurgs, then gently hands mic back to Taylor**

**fakes out bum rush while Becky is confused**

**eats his own words then makes up some bullshit excuse about what he meant**

it all seems like a crass attempt to impress his bros or whatever, then he sits down and his friends jokingly laugh at him.

also, why does Suchfriends emphasize " im not hating" so much after criticizing everything that most of the users love in this thread?

like the GOD OF HIP HOP is going to scorn everything he listens to thereafter. encouraging him to feel hateful towards everything he loved or ever loved as music? accusing him of racism and non-forwardness.

Criticism is not hating. Hating is blind and empty. Further its negative and personal. I ain't got no personal problems with Kanye as a human being, and i am basing by criticism on actually having listened to his music.

it seems like just another populist inflected guilt trip to foster the same old 'popist vs. what you like' that was started ten years ago.

that needs to fucking end!!!!!!

How bout before you keep talkin out yo a$$ you better ask somebody

No, you dont have to quote. I've heard/read it.

I agree thay he's not very articulate. I actually suspect he might be a bit dyslexic... His ego and bombast provide a pretty excellent cover, making it seem as though he's just obnoxious, with a hair-trigger. But I've watched a few interviews, read a few quotes, that seem to demonstrate a lack of fluidity in his speech.

Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

He's not stupid by any means... Dyslexia doth not a dumbass make. But I feel like he struggles with words when the cameras are on.

His songwriting, however, is eloquent, clever, powerful, and hilarious depending on what the song calls for. I think he is a born artist. The kind of person who probaby couldn't function if he wasn't making music.

I think he found a way to communicate and express himself when he started making beats and learning to produce. He admits to being a shitty lyricist for a long time before he really hit it big. I think he's able to communicate through sound and flow more honestly than through actual speech.

That's why he's, like, ridiculously fucking good at it. He has synaesthesia (which makes sense and would certainly not be out of place next to dyslexia) so I think he has a mind for creating, and an innate ability to create sounds and words that perfectly represent his emotions.

I just compared him to Superman, and backspaces it out of humiliation. Ha.

Now y'all ninjaz is finally speaking my language

Kanye's performance of "Wolves" on SNL last night was so good. no doubt in my mind he's about to drop another amazing album.

yeah that was great. I loved the "Jesus Walks" excerpt as well.

"Don't fool yourself
Your eyes don't lie, you're much too good to be true
Don't fire fight
Yeah I feel you burning, everything's burning
Don't fly too high
Your wings might melt, you're much too good to be true
I'm just bad for you
I'm just bad, bad, bad for you
I'm just bad, bad, bad for you"

damn.

cmon, this is some gossip shit.. if you wanna criticize him at least go for his music!

Is it me or was his voice fucked? Whilst not blessed with a singing voice he fucked up a few times.

However Wolves is a great track. Just give us a fucking release date!!!

i can't. i actually enjoy it. you guys just got to talking about Kayne so i threw in my two cents.

*shrugs*

haha it's all good then.
