I cant believe he sampled King Crimson. He should apologise to music.Big_Bad_Sad
Why is Kanye sampling King Crimson a bad thing?

It's kind of hard to hate someone you have never met. And base all your hate off of 3-5 min videos you see of him... I understand why he said what he said about Taylor Swift, but it was just the wrong place at the wrong time. He makes timeless music and it pushing hip-hop to new levels. Can't hate on him when he sticks to his guns. I thought he summed up this whole conversation in this new interview: Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq3W-E782kc Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQa5MoRGoGk

He should make his own music. Anyone can sample music and 'sing' over it. It doesnt take a genius.

Its not just King Crimson. Id be surprised if he could put his name to any song he has ever released.

That is VERY untrue. Sampling in some cases can be harder than making a 100% original instrumental. You have to take something that is already its own body of work (and in some times a different genre) and take parts of it and make it completely different. I've fooled around with some sampling and I can tell you, its not easy at all (especially if you want it to sound good). And in most cases you don't take the WHOLE instrumental, just bits and pieces, edit them down with different programs and plugins, then add them to your own instrumental.

So you're really telling me this track and this track sound exactly alike? Kanye's not just "singing" over the 21st Century Schizoid Man instrumental.

Kanye's a very talented producer. It's hard as hell to make the beats he makes even if he does sample songs.

you are obviously underestimating the art of sampling and beat making. you could never make that beat no matter how hard you tried. king crimson gave him permission to use that sample, if anything you should be mad at them.

This made me laugh for some reason. Anyway, he had his teeth replaced with diamonds and that makes me sad. So many people are starving to death and he has diamonds put in his mouth. Wtf?

...yeah, and mukesh ambani just built a billion dollar home overlooking the slums in india. why do a lot of people do the things they do? it has nothing to do with his music.

Yeah, we all know that he makes decent music. But since when does that mean that being the most arrogant person on Earth is alright?

I personally hate his guts and its not because I'm jealous; it's because I hate scumbags who play the race card when they don't get their way (George Bush outburst), I hate inconsiderate scumbags that believe they can interrupt someone else's moment of glory (Taylor Swift interruption), and I most of all hate anyone that believes that they are God's gift to the world (pretty much every other thing he has EVER said).

And as far as his "apologies", that's just the work of his PR agent.

I hope he ends up like the rest of "great" rappers.

How do you feel about him?

Brozekial

Why make this thread now? Everything your bringing up is old news. Anyway, I like his music and since he's a musician that's all that matters. He's not my parent or a friend of mine. I don't know him personally so I don't have an opinion of him as man.

I'm willing to bet you can't repeat half the things Kanye says in interviews. You just think he's an arrogant jerk and there's nothing he can say to change your thoughts about him.

He's pretty arrogant, but anybody that complains about a pop star being arrogant is being ridiculous IMO. The biggest ones almost always are.

Thanks. I think Kanye is at his best when his music is soulful.

You're probably right about playing to the wrong crowd, but it only took me a few seconds to post those clips, so I might as well try to demolish the argument that he doesn't make decent music.

Stopped reading here. (:P) I don't let an artist's personal life interfere with my opinions on their works (although it's pretty tough to call Kanye an artist, honestly even other mainstream rappers are better). He can be whatever person he wants to be, although I will agree he is a pretty big ****.

You are aware of course that he knows being a douche gets him loads of publicty and media attention so he can sell records right.. personally I like his antics they are quite entertaining particularly the whole George bush hates black people speech:lol::lol: Poor mike meyers was probably thinking OH DEAR GOD KANYE WTF THATS NOT WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO SAY!!!!

I used to really like Kanye. But when I realised how much of a complete doucher he is, and how the crap he talks about in his songs is just complete garbage that he doesn't feel nor relate to, I got over it.

He's a douche, and that's just the way it is.

all you guys act like you know the guy or something, he doesn't care what ya think, you can't please everyone, i think he's a good artist and only judge him on that, what he does in his spare time doesn't concern me. People forget that celebrities are normal people too. I have friends who are arrogant and who talk trash but their good people hence why their my friends. also TC, chances are you won't even meet the guy, so why can't you just ignore him again?

You might wanna check out his runaway video.

Sure the video itself is demonic and all around stupid, but the music is better than his graduation album imo. And that album hasn't been beaten yet.
