OT Thoughts On Kanye West

I think he is alright. His beats are sick. His lyrics are mostly just mediocre. Favorite song of his is Welcome to the Heartbreak.

What do you guys think of Kanye West?

i like his music and will get his new album

All I have to say is that Kanye West likes FISHSTICKS and he is not a lyrical geniusGameGuy642003

Favorite song of his is Welcome to the Heartbreak.

I really like that song, but mostly for Kid Cudi's chorus.

I think he's pretty good. Sure he's a jackass, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying his stuff.

Im not into rap, but I think hes a decent artist! I do think hes extremly egotistical! But, at the sametime, people give him to much crap! The day after the whole taylor swift vma situation, he appeared on leno! Leno mentioned his dead mother for god sakes. Im sorry, but that was uncalled for! Hes a human being just like the rest of us.Even if he has said some stupid things. I think people should leave the guy alone!airg6

I also found it pretty stupid that Chris Brown beat the **** out of Rihanna and nobody cared but Kanye embarrasses a girl and people can't let it go.

You just described The Roots, a hip-hop group.

(The Roots are just one example, by the way. There are many more.)

Im not saying all hip hop groups arent real music.chugachea

You didn't make that clear in your first post though. :P

He hasn't done anything good musically, and as a person he's a piece of dog poo someone threw up on.

btw would have been kinda smart to put that in your original post don't you think?

[QUOTE="chugachea"][QUOTE="gym_rat9000"]Are you kidding me? A lot of rap songs aren't auto tuned or talk about drugs, women, guns or money.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="chugachea"] Im not saying all hip hop groups arent real music. Just a large majority of hip hop/rap musicians shouldnt be able to have their work considered real music because everything in the song is computer generated and takes no instrumental talent. I love eminem for instance, but that isnt music, i see it as more of poetry.airg6

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] Producing good songs with a computer, a sampler, ect. still takes a lot of instrumental talent. These things are still instruments. -Sun_Tzu-

Actually, rarely do I see rappers perform live with bands! At most they might have backup singers and a drummer! But, I usually just see the rapper and a dj who has the beat and samples playing in the background! I dont think a person talking into a mic should be considered music. Like I said before, its more of a form of poetry than anything!airg6

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="airg6"]But, youre not really physically playing them! Its not the same at all! There is so much more emotion when an actual human is playing the instrument instead of using something else to play it for you. Like, take for instance, look up hope leaves live by Opeth! You can see and feel the emotion of Mikael Akerfeldt(guitarist/vocalist)when he plays the guitar! There is a huge difference between using a computer or drum machine and actually playing an instrument!

Because you can totally recreate the beat to this with instruments right.

And I think Kanye is a great artist and I will be getting his new album later this year.
