There are a few songs on Late Registration I always skip, because they're too annoying for me. He best songs are the ones where he collaborates with artists that you wouldn't expect to be in a rap song(Daft Punk, the guy from Maroon 5, John Mayer,etc). Sure he's cocky, but as long as he doesn't start singing "this is why I'm hot, you ain't cause you not", I'm cool with it. Anyone else into him? or am i in for a flaming...

bashavusta member it was just a phase. Joined: 11/24/07 Location: Indiana Posts: 4,294	kanye is alright with me.there are some really great tracks on 'graduation'.i'm usually into the more intellectual hip hop but he's a nice blend of that and the mainstream without completely ruining the genre.i find him refreshing because rap is becoming so materialistic nowadays its good to hear someone that still tries to think outside that box.he's not my favorite but i like him.

Opened his mouth and out came words of dumbassery. I mean seriously, what a moron. Howard Stern talking about fart jokes came off as more intelligent sounding than Kanye West's "George Bush don't care about Black People" racist diatribe.

He sounded like he had a 3rd grade education with that racist diatribe of his. Seriously. Dropout indeed. and don't misconstrue my comments as pro-Bush, either

leakylovefaucet member Joined: 11/27/07 Posts: 8,424	I think you're being a bit hyperbolic. The humor of it was that Mike Myers was completely caught off guard by his statement(as was anyone else), and the look he gave Kanye was the funny part. You can't blame him for being pissed about the little that was being done at the time. I'm not as passionate on the subject as you so I'm not really in for an e-debate. Thanks for the other artists bashavusta

Knifymolok0 member Joined: 11/28/07 Location: an ideal future Posts: 328	Oh! I was watching MTV a while back and Kanye performed some songs live in a special (not VMAS, just Kanye himself): Heard 'em Say, Roses, Hey Mama, Spaceship, and some others. I really enjoyed the performance and luckily had DVR back then so I watched it often. But I've been trying to get a copy online and I can't find it anywhere! If anyone knows where I can get it please let me know!

plink member Joined: 09/08/08 Location: Behind the Zion Curtain Posts: 328	Very confused guy at best. Materialistic, self-righteous, hypocritical, hyped-up hack at worst. Overrated either way. He only sounds original contrasted with other big acts you hear on commercial radio, most of which we probably all agree create a LOT of crap. I'm not sure he's really so different from other mainstream hip hop acts that he tries to differentiate himself from. He needs to take an honest look at himself and lose the messiah complex. Incidentally TR threw some smack talk Kanye's way at the NIN show in Salt Lake the other week. So at least one person I respect agrees with me. Couldn't help but take the opportunity to vent that out. Thanks. No disrespect intended. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/14/2008 11:06PM by plink.

I waited for that motherfucker at Bonnaroo 2008 for over two hours, and the glow in the dark of his "glow in the dark tour," wasn't very glowy when he showed up for his set two (two and a half) hours after his set was supposed to begin (at 5:30 am when the sun was rising!).
