hell no

And that's not what this thread is about, so that's ridiculous.

You don't see a problem with judging a music artists is the best or not by judging things other than music?

Hah! ITT: Is he a good artist? I've never heard his music to make an accurate assumption, but no. No he's not.bigdcstile

Pretty much.

No. There are better rappers.

he definitely is a great artist but best? nah

some of my favorites from him

Short answer: No

Long answer:

[spoiler] Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [/spoiler]

I don't think he is talented at all.

He's good, but I only agree with a portion of the 1st part, about My Dark Twisted Fantasy being one of the best albums of last year.

lmao a lot of metal fans in this thread =P

Yes one of the best artists of all time. Of all time.

No, but he's good. And I happen to like his ego. Without an ego and/or rebelliousness, pop stars become, well... Justin Bieber.

He's one of the best hip-hop producers ever. One of the best artists ever is a bit of a stretch.

(That said, I'd rather listen to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy than a Pink Floyd or Beatles album)

What would you guys say about his consistency? I think it's one of the highest in the music business.

No, but minus the ego he does make some good music...his best being his first two albums.

he's not even top 10 mc

No.

No, he's not.

he's not even top 10 mc

[QUOTE="AutoPilotOn"][QUOTE="coltsfan4ever"]What makes his music suck?

GreySeal9

I hope you're not a metal fan.

Jesus dude, it seems like every post you make you have to take a stab at metal.

Are you referring to any type of metal in particular? Because I don't think bands like Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, Dio, Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath and the likes should be in the same family as the "br00tal" Hot Topic bands like Bring Me The Hairspray, Bullet for my Vagina or any other metalcore(Also known as "screamo"). I can't stand the latter myself.

I love screamo.

I love screamo.

What did he paint? or does he sculpt?

Nope, he just sucks.

haha not at all. he does have some memorable songs though.

Mr West himself thinks he is the best of all time.

I like some of his work but I don't think is one of the best around.

is good but not really great.

he had potential to be more than he is now - his best work was the early work.

success and money work against a lot of people and he is one of those who let it go to his head.

creatively he has gone downhill since the second album and gone more towards pop.

AS far as being a hiphop producer he is good, but he sucks sooooo bad as an artist

Nope but he's good... some of his older songs that is. Now, it's not good if you ask me.

No but he seems to think he is.

Everything before 808s was pure gold in my opinion. Everything since then has been sort of meh. Although MBDTF was a step in the right direction.

i gave his last album a listen and i honestly didn't get all the hype around it.

He's cool until he put out some satanic music, there I lost 3/4 of my respect for him. There's goes another one of my mainstream favourite, let's hope Taylor don't do the same.
