So what's the deal with this nigger
Why is he so hyped up everywhere?
His 'music' is nothing special at all
>>62568201
You mad sister fucker?
and did you hear this fucking nigger call taytay a bitch?
>>62568208
no, just confused
also I don't have a sister
>>62568201
please don't use the n-word, i find it very triggering
>>62568213
yes, i did
it was quite upsetting and rude of him
>>62568214
kek, what a dummy.
>>62568214
but if you did you'd be molesting her you white trash inbred motherfucker
>>62568247
please explain it to me, it did seem to go over my head
>>62568252
what makes you say that
viral marketing
>>62568238
and did you hear this coon try and backpedal just making it worse?
"bitch is a term of endearment in hippity hop just like nigga"
>>62568252
lmao you mad nigger
>>62568201
At a time he made some of the best pop-hop. He's the Radiohead of hip hop; slightly innovative to the point where plebs think he's a genius.
>>62568261
>what makes you say that
jus da fax o life honky
>>62568265
>>62568280
i suppose this explains it
>>62568289
ok
>>62568213
Gaylord Shit is a bitch and she blew up after that VMA incident, so he's actually right about making that bitch famous.
None of you guys can stand to see a guy make it to the top and then stay there. Everyone is so eager to watch the giants fall. That's why everyone is making a big stink about his Twitter when it's not really any different from the shit that he has been tweeting for years.
You fags did the same thing with Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, Britney Spears, and Hannah Montana. You care more about witnessing someone's fall from grace than you care about the beautiful art that they put out.
>>62568280

calling her a bitch was a power play and he needs to be called on it.
"Look what I can get away with because I'm a fucking nigger."
viral marketing, also his married to the most famous celeb ever
>>62568370
pleb detected, go back to normiebook you spider fucker.
>>62568384
who is caucasian
another self-loathing nigger
>>62568201
he just some random ass nigga that got lucky is all
no talent, no skill
can he play an instrument? no? then why's you call him a musician?
>>62568383
I would agree with you if he had called out Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Nas, or one of his other contemporaries.
Swift is an entirely different genre of music meant to cater to teeny boppers. Kanye's shit is more sophisticated and he's remaining popular and mainstream while pushing the boundaries. No other important rapper both produces his own beats and spits super hot fire.
MF Doom = great producer, shit lyricist
Tyler = great producer, even more terrible lyricist (serial killers LOL so edgy XDDD)
He wasn't attacking Swift anyway, just saying that he made her famous, which is mostly true - she was famous before, but he made her into a superstar.
>>62568450
calling her a bitch is an attack and no amount of back pedaling from this uppity nigger is gonna change that.
to me, the rap industry is so fucking wack and terrible right now that he even had to show some wisdom about the scenario. Facts also was just a cheeky ass, but also hype as fuck banger. I geeked on that song like shit the first time I heard it. But he's being tongue in cheek about shit around him for the first time I can remember in a song, so that's just a nice change than his god/king image. Still does the same shit, but I guess being in so much debt humbled him maybe?
>>62568480
You are seriously pulling some SJW tumblr shit right now. He wasn't even CALLING her a bitch - it's a catchall term that some artists use to refer to women in general.
Do you think he should've said "I made that woman famous"? Think for a second about how incredibly dumb that would sound. The term has been ingrained in modern vernacular to the point that you should be making more of an issue with the fact that he claimed to have made her famous, rather than his choice of words.
He ain't gonna backpedal because he doesn't need to. He has never backpedaled because he has never been wrong, at least not publicly.
>>62568383
It's also an absolute power play in that same verse about fucking her.
"Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power."
Oscar Wilde
>>62568450
>He wasn't attacking Swift anyway, just saying that he made her famous, which is mostly true - she was famous before, but he made her into a superstar.
Kanye West has been a nobody in the music celebrity arena since 2008 and still is.
>>62568450
>El-P
>>62568511
>it's a catchall term that some artists use to refer to women in general.
which is an attack and all the more reason it needs to be put in its place
> The term has been ingrained in modern vernacular to the point that you should be making more of an issue with the fact that he claimed to have made her famous, rather than his choice of words.
yeah I'm well aware thats what you and all the other meatheads want me to do.
beeatch is a term of endearment in nigger culture not bitch
>>62568501
>but I guess being in so much debt humbled him maybe?
I can't believe people are seriously falling for this shit. The dude could go put on 5 shows next week and earning $100 million easily. He has hundreds of millions in assets and investments.
The guy is untouchable. He is simply too big to fall. Even if he decides to quit music and his money dries up over the next 50 years, he can go on stage when he's 90 and make millions just from that one comeback show.
>>62568370
fuckin lel faggot the only good radiohead albums are amnesiac and kid a
>>62568522
>Kanye West has been a nobody in the music celebrity arena since 2008 and still is.
Okay now THIS is a serious horseshit comment. I'm sure the biggest male musician in the entire world, the biggest rapper, and the biggest producer who has received massive critical and commercial acclaim is a "nobody." Practically every thread on /mu/ right now is about him so nice try, kid.
>>62568535
>muh feelings
Please dude. Go blog about your asspain on tumblr because this isn't the place for it. It's not about the words, it's about the meaning behind words. Calling someone the N-word isn't bad in itself. It's the context which matters.
If you're gonna be a bitch about words, then perhaps you should find your safe space and stay there instead of trying to engage in a rational discussion.
>>62568450
>Kanye's shit is more sophisticated
>>62568542
most people don't seem to understand debt on here anyway and think debt=bankrupt
i don't think kanye west is a better lyricist than mf doom
>>62568582
Kanye West is not the biggest rapper in the world nor is he the biggest male musician
>>62568608
jb a few weeks ago and zayn last week
>>62568582
>this isn't the place for it.
says you
>It's not about the words, it's about the meaning behind words
yes and its a power play talking about making her famous and fucking her etc. Not to mention he actually proved my point with his backpedaling bullshit. 'bitch" is not analogous to "nigga"
beeotch is
this is a music board which includes lyrics if you dont like it tough shit bitch
>>62568582
I have to kind of agree with him to an extent. I think al the remarks made at Taylor most certainly make it an attack.
I find the way that Kanye constantly disparages women, talks about his dick and making pornos to be incredibly weak and shallow as fuck. i really like this album but it has some serious fuckin flaws.
>>62568450
Doom's a better lyricist than Kanye though, Kanye is pretty bad lyrically for the most part other than a few shining moments like Gorgeous.
>>62568450
>MF Doom = great producer, shit lyricist
?????????????????????????
end your life my man
>>62568632
which I think is fine to each their own but it needs to be seen for what it is.
>>62568450
>MF Doom
>shit lyricist
This is embarrassing.
>>62568608
Are you kidding me? Every single album that he has ever put out has sold millions in addition to receiving massive critical acclaim. He's one of the richest active artists in the business and Kanye/Kim is the Kurt/Courtney for the current generation.
Nobody comes close. Only Taylor Swift has had similar staying power, and that's a) because Kanye made that bitch famous and b) her shit is being peddled hard by the music industry since Katy Perry is washed up and Adele doesn't quite fill the same niche.
If Kanye was making pure pop, he would be the current Michael Jackson.
>>62568201
>Why is he so hyped up everywhere?
Part of it is a lot of the major reviewers have a hard on for him, part of it is his stans which are some of the worst fanboys out there. That being said he does have some great albums, and has done a fair bit for rap.
>>62568669
I don't think context excuses any of those things?
>>62568671
At this point in time Drake would have to be bigger than Kanye, Drake outsells him at the very least (not that that indicates talent but it does show whos bigger).
>>62568671
Doesn't change the fact he is neither the biggest hip hop artist in the game today. Drake is by far the biggest artist in the game right now and nobody else is even close.
>>62568327
Thom Yorke got a lazy eye when we saw your mom's hairy chest bitch.
how did you end up having assholes for hears?
>>62568632
Talking about fucking her was the only power play aspect of that bit. The asspained SJW doesn't realize that nobody has said "beeotch" since like 1992, and that was what white girls said, not rappers.
Kanye hardly disparages or marginalizes women. He treats Kim like a queen and he has been faithful to her. He's one of the only guys in the game who has remained true and sure, talking about fucking Kim in the sink is a little vulgar, but it's still an expression of love about the most important woman currently in his life.
All of the >muh dick stuff applies to other rappers. Kanye doesn't ever go down that route. I don't think all of his lyrics are perfect but they're FAR from the braindead shit that literally every single other popular rappers puts out today (fuck bitches, get money, fuck bitches, get money, SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG).
>>62568671
Like others have alreadly pointed out Drake is leagues ahead, at least in terms of sales and popularity
>>62568327
why r u still alive by the way? didnt anon gave u a protip? midnight already?
>Tfw inevitable Kanye biopic
>>62568708
I just don't think it fits the criteria for libel or anything to constitute a literal attack so I wouldn't bother trying to stop him but it still needs to be seen for what it is.
>>62568582
>Practically every thread on /mu/ right now is about him so nice try, kid.
Normies aren't pitchfork drones, therein lies the key difference.
>>62568724
>nobody has said "beeotch" since like 1992,
doesnt change anything
>and that was what white girls said, not rappers.
bullshit on both counts
>>62568799
Im not really saying he needs to stop it. That's on him and whether or not he wants his lyrics to be viewed in a negative manner because they lack actual substance.
>>62568747
>>62568721
>>62568720
Drake is barely a step above Justin Beaver. He has no artistic integrity and he doesn't produce a single one of his songs. This faggot is literally paying talented people to create beats for him to talk over, and his lyrics are not only incredible mundane, but his beats sounds like everything else that's on the radio right now.
This is a Canadian who got his start on a pre-teen TV show and pretends that he started "from the bottom." You know what's starting from the bottom? Growing up in absolute poverty, having your jaw wired shut from a car accident that nearly killed you, and busting your ass a producer until you finally earn enough money to make your own album from scratch.
>>62568847
Ray J just mad that the girl of his dreams ain't even leave him for the top nigga.
>>62568847
We weren't talking about the actual talent though, simply how big they are in the game and right now Drake is one of if not the biggest in the game right now.
>>62568861
Kanye has actually fallen pretty far off.
This is hardly proof of anything, but I personally know that there are more Rich Homie Quan fans in my area than Kanye.
Kanye hasn't had a hit single since Niggas in Paris in 2011. Unless I'm forgetting something. Black Skinhead being used in movie trailers with as little of Kanye's voice as possible does not count.
“It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”
― George Orwell, 1984
He's the only true rockstar of the 21st century, and his music has the benefit of being quite good and progresses a genre more than any other artist
>>62568894
>Kanye has actually fallen pretty far off.
As much as people will give you shit for saying that I agree. I hated Yeezus with the exception of 1 or 2 songs and TLOP isn't all that much of an improvement. If he had have taken time to work on the lyrics for TLOP it could have been great but pretty much every song has a string of shitty lyrics.
>>62568861
Kanye's net worth is $145 million while Aubrey Graham's is $75 million. Has Drake earned more in the past few years? Possibly since he has been touring more instead of working on his art like Kanye.
Drake is "flavor of the week" and a relative newcomer. In 5 years, he will be about as relevant as Young Buck, Chingy, or J-Kwon. It's not just about how much someone made in 2015, but about total records sold, staying power, and public awareness.
>>62568861
>biggest in the game right no
fuck I hate this
>>62568936
nah Drake will be around in 5 years
>>62568936
Of course Drake won't have as big an impact as Kanye, but at this point in time and for the past few years he has been a bigger rapper, thats all I'm saying. Kanye is the better of the two, but Drake is bigger. Will he always be bigger? Probably not but right now he is.
>>62568936
>Kanye's net worth is $145 million
Kanye's net worth is negative 53 million. My cat is literally worth more.
>>62569200
tell me more about this cat
>people are taking an obvious KTT user seriously
Is it 2010 again?
>>62569545
I forgot KTT was a thing. That site is probably the biggest contributor to Odd Future's early success.

The funniest part of this Kanye thing is seeing just how uneducated and intellectually inferior the vast majority of the population is. They immediately assume that debt implies negative net worth. Absolutely hilarious.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be unintelligent like 99% of the human species. Ignorance truly is bliss.

The fact that you're discussing him and his 'nothing special' music spells everything you need to know about his success. You've bought into the game - his hype machine eats people like you and shits out fame for him.
The music is circumstantial. It only needs to be good and radical enough to spark controversy. But you are the real cause.
>>62568252
nigger is mad his race is the color of poop lol

Kanye is in a difficult spot right now, he became a father, his wife is high maintenance and his mother is still dead. Anyway, I have high hopes for the Ray-J Kanye colab.
Don't tell anyone, but /mu/ likes it as a joke.
>>62570886
Half of it. The other half doesn't get the joke and becomes the joke.
>>62568313
Taylor Swift was gaining popularity well before that incident. Its pretty illogical to assume he made her famous for interrupting her ACCEPTANCE SPEECH FOR WINNING ALBUM OF THE YEAR, or whatever it was.
If he made her famous, he would be the one with two music videos with over a billion views, not taytay.
>>62570950
Why are you assuming sincery? His goal was to provoke people like you.
>>62570979
*sincerity

You're proving Kanye's point you retard, look at the views of her pre-VMA videos

this. And by reacting to that line they are just giving kanye what he wanted.
Well done Yeezus.

He's every white faggot's favorite musician and the internet is run by white faggots for white faggots

Exactly like the radiohead of hip hop. Overated, trying to sell the same formulas as innovative again and againg, and hated because of the annoying fan community.

"Tips fedora"
>>62568201
>people talkin shit but when the shit hits the fan, everything im not made me everything i am
I can admit that some of his shit is weak or seems weak the first time you listen to it, but theres a certain innovation, or seperation between him and other mainstream rappers, and he raps anything that he believes, like with a sense of pride mixed in with his brutal honesty, imo kanye is goat.
>>62570599
Are you okay, anon?
>>62571237
She grew in popularity, just like any up and coming artist. Her biggest fan demographic is elementary school girls who don't even know who the fuck Kanye is.

nigger
Mr. West has had the most sui generis hip-hop career of the last decade. No rapper has embodied hip-hop’s often contradictory impulses of narcissism and social good quite as he has, and no producer has celebrated the lush and the ornate quite as he has. He has spent most of his career in additive mode, figuring out how to make music that’s majestic and thought-provoking and grand-scaled. And he's also widened the genre's gates, whether for middle-class values or high-fashion and high-art dreams.
>nigger
racist AND rude
just let it fade, just like death grips hype.
most rap is cancer
