Jackass.
I've always disliked him just because I don't like rap and he seems like a jerk, but that shit he pulled at Taylor Swift gave me a legit reason to actually hate him. He ruined that poor girl's career moment.

Right, he's done nothing to show he might be racist.
Kanye West's name has practically become synonymous with racist. Its not crazy to assume he is.

Other. Kanye who? I have never even heard of him. I am not from the US and I do not listen to modern music.
| Killiana1a said: Kanye is definitely not on the level or ever will be of 2Pac, the Notorious B.I.G. Eminem, and Jay-Z. His early life with a professor for a mother giving him a solid upper middle class upbringing precluded Kanye's chances of garnering the street credibility to write 5 albums about his time slanging dope on the streets. Rappers need street credibility for longevity, without it they lose the rebel image after 2 multi-platinum albums and become just another super star whose esoteric lyrics are hard to relate to unless you are a millionaire celebrity who has gone to drug rehab. As for the original question, Kanye is a quite bright, but I would not go so far as genius. Kanye West has been a jackass, but I do not believe he is a jackass. The immaturity has shown, which make some view him as a jackass. |
Rappers DON'T NEED street cred to have longevity. Word to Common, Talib and Mos Def
EDIT- Also VGC really hates Rap and Hip Hop. I had a thread about Jay-Z surpassing Elvis for most number 1 albums debut and I got bashed..I'll never forget the most ignorant comment when Seece claimed Hip-Hop wasn't music.

You shouldn't speak. You don't think burning the Quarn is racist or a hate crime but you think Kanye West is a racist because.....he spoke his opinion on Taylor Swift eh?...Yeah

But what are you basing your assumptions on? I'm really just trying to understand your rationale behind your statement, but so far you're failing to provide me with anything at all. I'm basing my assumption that he's not racist on the fact that he's worked with dozens of white people, the majority of his fans are white, and he's dated at least one white woman for more than 3 months. And when did his name become synonymous with being racist? Has that ever been stated by someone besides say people on the internet? At the moment, it seems crazy to assume he's racist.

Oh boy, you assume all this because I think Kanye is racist?
For the record, Kanye has done more than speak his opinion about Taylor Swift.
I think the, "Bush doesn't like black people" alone was an indication he's racist.
Anyhow, we wouldn't be having this discussion if Kanye didn't do and say stupid shit.
This for the record... "If it wasn't for race mixing there'd be no video girls. Me and most of our friends like mutts a lot. Yeah, in the hood we call 'em mutts!"

Common, Talib and Mos Def have sold nowhere near the amount of records as 2Pac, the Notorious B.I.G., Eminem and Jay-Z. Likewise, they have nowhere near the influence on the young white kids in the suburbs who made 2Pac, the Notorious B.I.G., Eminem and Jay-Z multi-millionaires.
It may be Black Culture, but the people making you a millionaire are not young thugs in Queensbridge or Compton; they are young white kids in the suburbs many of whom whose parents combine for $100k a year.
As for longevity, you are right, but playing that type of "game" will not get you rolling in Bentleys and owning private jets.
