It just completely confuses how people can admire a musical artist that has zero musical ability.
Speaking into autotuner != artist

Oh twesterm, you and your unyielding superiority complex.

I wouldn't say that since I don't really think I'm better than him, I'm probably just as good as him since I can't really sing either.

Kanye is a hip-hop artist, and a great one at that, regardless of his ego. Go look at his past albums, then come and tell me with an honest face that you could do as good as him, with or without autotune.

Nah man, Kanye can't sing at all. TWesterm is probably just at good as he it at singing.
Now, if we're talking about poetry, then none of the rap I've heard even comes near the level of, say, Robert Frost or Edgar Allen Poe.
If we are talking about mixing it all together, well, there are equally talented people on youtube, who make great videos using fruity loops. Look up "You play to win the game" on youtube.
Look at Elton John, or Queen. Can you honestly say Kanye is as good as Elton John at songwriting or singing?
He's good compared to his direct limited competition, but he pales in comparison to the greats.

All subjective... it all depends on your taste and what you like your greats differ greatly then mine... makes neither one of us right or wrong
|
lol, yeah, and you can say Grown Ups is better than The Godfather, but we have to draw the line somewhere, don't we. Don't use "imho" as a shield. Defend your opinions with logic, that is what a forum is for.

But there is a huge amount of the population that may not like Elton John or Queen. Maybe the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe is a little to heavy or archaic for some. On top of that, who's to say what impact this man's music may have on the world?
Honestly, he's just a guy that makes music that his audience approves of. That's it. If you don't like it, perhaps you weren't his intended target. I wouldn't go into "the polka thread", and with a limited grasp on what good polka music is, commence to telling people that Polka McGhee sucks compared to Mozart. And, despite the use if "imho" as a shield, the man's opinion is still his opinion. There's no set standard for what people have to like.
The people vote for Kanye with their wallets. In their opinion, and in the opinion of many critics, the man is exceptional.
