Kanye West is a textbook narcissist. He will be a case study soon in psychology classes, if not already.

But he's transcended the medium as an artist. Bowie never did that. Bowie was an artist. Kanye is bigger than art.
>>61686806
>>61686810
That's the worst fucking place you stupid cunts, that's why we watch his interviews. His interviews are marginally less retarded than his rapping.

he is legit borderline autistic tho, like, you don't have to hate him, just watch any of his fucking interviews. He is always unfocused, rambling, all over the fucking place, misusing "big words" and never gets to any resemblance of a "point"
>>61687283
He's not very good at explaining himself always, that's what makes him so expressive with his music.

>>61685638
Look at that big, chubby baby face of his. Throwing tantrums when he doesn't get his own way. He's DESPERATE to be seen as a 'legend'. He's DESPERATE to be respected like David Bowie. He never stops going on about how amazing he is. No-one actually thinks Kanye is a legend except the ones that have been brainwashed by Kanye himself constantly going on about it. If you keep repeating something over and over again, eventually some people will start to actually believe it.
Kanye West seems like an extremely insecure individual. Just look at his face when he's ranting in interviews and on stage. He reaks of desperation. You can see him getting frustrated because people aren't seeing him as a legend. It's like he's going to cry. What's also interesting is that I read what his ex-girlfriend said about him. She even said that he's insecure!
She says...
"He needed you to be with him and needed your opinion. He was quite vulnerable.”
"He needs people to tell him he is good and that he is needed and wanted.”
The second quote sums him up. It's like a child isn't it? Imagine if he wasn't in his late 30's and this was an 18 year old saying the same things? He'd be seen as even more of a joke.
>>61687870
Are you fucking serious? First of all, his jaw is swollen from a near-death experience, so you can pretty much fuck off.
Second of all, pretty much every human being is insecure.
"WHAT, KANYE THREW A TANTRUM ABOUT HUBLUBLUHBLUH?"
He's trying his best to get people to listen to him instead of pulling the black card on him. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being confident enough to keep going after all the shit that's been thrown at him, and all the shit he's regretted throwing out at others.
He's not fucking desperate, he's determined.
>>61685998
a bigger faggot maybe
>>61687937

>>61686820
Kanye is a good producer, and that's that. He's no genius
>>61686903
Key West you dumbfuck
>>61688046
Now, I didn't say anything about his fashion line. I don't really see the purpose for it being so overpriced but he is lowering the price next season so
>>61688078
That's besides the point tho. He pulls the black card at every chance he can. His antics would be more entertaining if it wasnt the same old petulant manchild seeking attention and whining when he doesn't get any
this is a guy who literally fucked up his "masterpiece" by compressing the fuck out of it simply because Jay Z's album came out a week or 2 before and he wanted it to be "louder"
>much genius wow
>>61687120
That's because Bowie was a costume, especially in the 70s. What's that they say about him, again? More style than substance? Not to take anything away from him, but kanye doesn't wear face paint and spandex. Bowie had a costume that people could put on. Kanye doesn't.
Unless you want to count the mid 2000s-early 2010s when everyone and their mother was wearing the shutter shades he popularized.
>>61685998
True
>>61688132
This is also a guy who outdoes pretty much every hip-hop artist in terms of production today, regardless of his antics he is extremely respectable
>>61688333
>This is also a guy who outdoes pretty much every hip-hop artist in terms of production today
you mean his ghost producers outdo etc etc? and I disagree with that notion. His rapping is absolute trash. His/his ghost producers production is good tho
>>61688333
Why do people say the production on Kanye's albums is good? Aren't most of his albums brickwalled and compressed to hell?
>>61688433
>>61688453
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irb335ThCdo
>>61688453
Production and mastering aren't the same thing. I can praise the snare sample on Runaway's chorus, but still diss the brickwalling on Monster.
>>61685638
Bowie himself predicted West would be his successor in Ziggy Stardust and confirmed it in blackstar.
K. west sign
stardust relased in 72. first track 5 years. west born in 77.
lyrics from black star name a black star taking his place, who could be this "black star"?
maybe the one to resurrect lazarus. Yeezus.
Kanye confirmed for new bowie
>>61689134
MY GOD

he literally dressed the female models in spanx

If anything its Kendrick not Kanye, Tony Visconti has already confirmed To Pimp a Butterfly was one of Bowie's biggest inspirations for the album, also in the lyrics to i Kendrick clearly says Black stars can come and get me, and I think that's what Bowie set out to do
>>61689877
>>61689673
Does it say K. Lamar on the cover of Ziggy Stardust? Was he born in 77? Are you stupid?
I'd definitely say more people know of Kanye West over Bowie. And I'd also say he's surpassed him in acclaim too. I mean, what sort of awards or accomplishments does Bowie have over him?
>>61689910
I'm pretty sure confirmation from the artist is more precise than your universal conspiracy theory and also its been confirmed that it's just a street sign, it's even up on display, and have you thought about the possibility that maybe his parents named him Kanye West because they were Bowie fans
>>61690138
I think he has like one Grammy and six golden globes
>>61685998
Only if you are an american,
>>61690138
>I mean, what sort of awards or accomplishments does Bowie have over him?
When has the most significant artist of a generation ever also been the most rewarded?
I'm not saying Bowie was the most significant, just saying the prizes are utterly irrelevant.
>>61685998
Kanye is nowhere near as popular or rich as Bowie. Bowie has like 8-10 albums that are high or top tier. Kanye only has MBDTF the others are good but decent. Bowie actually made a real difference as a fashion icon and through all the characters he has played as. Kanye's on stage persona gives us laughably bad shit like the Swift Incident, YOU AIN'T GOT DA ANSWERS!, and the Beck Incident. Bowie has taught us to be ourselves and be independent through all his characters. Kanye has taught us that humans can possibly have great potential....by only talking about how great HE is.
>>61685998
lmao
>>61689179
yeah but it doesn't say K.Dot or K.Lamar or K.Duckworth on the sign.
>>61688009
well enlighten us on some truly mindblowing kanye lyrics then dumbass
>>61685998
lol no, 50% of Kanye's notoriety and infamy comes from his stunts , being married to a Kardasian, and famed for being an immature child with an overblown ego.
Most people have never heard of his music, personally I have never heard a Kanye song being played in a modern pop or Hip Hop FM radio station.
>>61690450
no but u got to realize tpab was the definitive inspiration behind blackstar
thats pretty real

Penitentiary chances, the devil dances
And eventually answers to the call of Autumn
All of them fallin’ for the love of ballin’
Got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin
Inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums
Based off the way we was branded
Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
And at the airport they check all through my bag
And tell me that it’s random
But we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage
I need a happy ending and a new beginning
And a new fitted, and some job opportunities that's lucrative
This the real world, homie, school finished
They done stole your dreams, you dunno who did it
I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS
I won’t be satisfied til all my niggas get it, get it?
Are you even fucking trying?

You're either lying, out of touch, or a misguided mixture of the two. Run This Town, All of the Lights, Stronger, fucking Learn to Fly. You're full of shit if you're saying you've never heard these get play, or you don't listen to the stations you're talking about.
>>61690411
Literally went to work yesterday and told a lot of my employees that the "great David Bowie died today". Most didn't know who he was. When you say the name "Kanye" everyone instantly knows how you're talking about. He's way more popular than Bowie. And just about 50 million shy of being as rich as him at only 40.
Kanye has way more acclaim than Bowie too. When you have Elon Musk saying you're "the most influential person on the planet" you know you've made it almost over anyone.
>>61690710
That's because Kanye is a clown. Most people know maybe a song in the back of their head, but mainly know him for his retarded antics.
And Kanye only has influence over niggers and wiggers.
>>61689134

>>61687937
Yes. Yes I am serious. Yeah.. he's also black. You gonna blame that on his near-death experience too? Does he not have a big baby face? I'm only telling the truth.
Yes human beings are secure. But as you will know, certain people are extremely secure. Kanye West seems to be one of them, and he reflects how insecure he is when he goes off on one. Musicians that are actually respected didn't have to go spouting crap out to try and show how creative and great they are. Their work itself reflects that.
All Kanye and the other blacks in the music industry ever do is pull out the black card. Now more than ever. It's ridiculous.
He's desperate and also determined... determined to make people think he's as great as the respected people of the past.
To normal, everyday, grown-up people with families that go to and from work everyday. Kanye West is talentless. He's not respected. He's a joke. Especially here in the UK. When i've seen him perform on the odd British chat show, it's always awkward to watch because you know that everyone in the audience, viewers at home and even the chat show host think he's complete shit speaking a bunch of words into a microphone. He does not compare with actual musicians that have respect whether you're into their music or not.
It's time to grow up m8. No-one apart from self-obsessed, trend-following, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Instagram addicted teenagers and people in the early 20's give a shit about him.
It's music and culture for children.
>>61690710
Ok, I work with adults and everybody had already heard about Bowie's death and were quite affected. The radio was constantly bringing up his death, several XM stations were playing Bowie songs and talking about his influence. If you were older than 16 you would have a different understanding of Bowie's presence.
>>61689134
the absolute madman
>>61686932
Bowie hasn't been relevant since like 1980.
That doesn't stop people overrating him cuz' he died.
>>61686952
He didn't really fail. He was a decent copy.
>>61690710
But we all know that Bowie is objectively more influential than Kanye though, paving the way for great rock music for the next couple generations. Albums like OK Computer and Kid A wouldn't even be /mu/core without Bowie. Not to mention you still have a fuck ton of artists trying to ape Bowie while nobody cares for wanting to ape Kanye except a few hip hop artists.
In some places more people will genuinely know Kanye better because of a generational thing. Is Justin Beiber more relevant than Bowie culturally/musically for the same reason? If the answer to that question's yes you have confirmed yourself for being a troll.
>>61691496
>determined to make people think he's as great as the respected people of the past.
You don't have to like Kanye but you can't disrespect him when he has the knowledge of production and ambition that he does.
His work does reflect his words. His work is great.
Kanye isn't trying to be Bowie though.
St. Vincent and Lady Gaga, however, are trying way too hard to be him.

just because someone is ambitious doesn't mean they deserve any respect
Hitler was ambitious. Kim Kardashian is ambitious too
>>61689567
I think he peaked with MBDTF
>>61690754
I'm from Oxford and I like both David Bowie and Kanye. You can't deny that Kanye isn't more relevant. Before Bowie died, blackstar only had 2 million views.
>>61691806
I think you could only ever really become like Bowie by reinventing your music and your image time after time. You can't just stick with one gimmick for a long time, otherwise it gets stale
You'd also need good redefining music to back that image and relevancy up
Shit, I just hate St. Vincent so much and how she wants to be like bowie so badly even though her music is just the same art pop shit over and over
