Music Kanye West

I can only assume Chance was on the WUM when he insisted 'Waves' was on the album...
 
I hate when a nigga text you like, "what's up, fam, hope you good"
You say, "I'm good" then great, the next text they ask you for somethin'
:lol: feck me that was bad, it didn't fit or anything, it's almost like he was writing the song when it happened and he meant to log into the 'little things that really annoy you' thread but just ended up writing it into the song and nobody dared point it out to him.
 
His new music is shit and his personality is even shittier.

Now he has resorted to begging zukerberg for billion dollar handouts while proclaiming bill Cosby innocent... What a joke.

Thats actually Mark Zuckerberg´s thoughts after Kanye´s last tweets.
 
As usual Pitchfork are falling over themselves to proclaim its greatness. I do like the site but they are insanely over the top when it comes to certain artists. Radiohead get a bit of it as well.

Reddit is the same, Some of the fan boi's on that site make RAWK look sane. I got downvoted into the realms of hell for suggesting that 'Yeezus' was a terrible album, which it was.

Haha yeah some of them are mental. I decided to have a look at the Kanye reddit out of curiosity and it's scary how obsessive most of them seem to be. Anyone who suggests TLOP isn't the greatest album of all time is called a cnut and accused of trolling.
 
WTF is he writing on his Twitter lately? Has he gone batshit crazy? Africa is not a country.

It's crazy isn't it, the HipHopHeads subreddit is just as bad. People making up stories behind each track and comparing Kim fecking Kardashian to Jacqueline Roque :D

Even Andy@Allerton is embarrassed by Kanye's messages.
 
Really enjoying the new album, much better than Yeezus. I agree it's not very cohesive and seems like a mish-mash of songs piled together, but the good parts are genuinely amazing. FML and Ultralight Beams are my favourite so far. Why he kept Facts on the album is beyond me.

I also think Kanye is a lot more self aware than most give him credit for, everything he does is to build his own hype.
 
Maybe it would seem more cohesive if he removed the random interlude tracks that don't go anywhere and cut it down to 10-13 tracks like his last few albums.

Also wonder how much of that impression comes from the way the album was released? If you hear he's changing things right up to its release then you're probably more likely to think it sounds disjointed anyway.
 
He doesn't have to try very hard to get attention, as this is truly the age of easy copy & lazy journalism. As I write, the most-read story on the BBC website is that Stephen Fry has deleted his Twitter account; easy, lazy 'news'.

He mentions in the lyrics to one song (might be 30 hours?) that the last few tracks are bonuses so it would probably sound a lot more focused if it did end on Wolves like he originally intended.
 
Yep. Insult Taylor Swift, say Bill Cosby is innocent and change your album title a few times. At that point you don't need to pay for a marketing campaign anymore as supposedly legitimate news outlets will turn your twitter nonsense into extensive coverage. Why wouldn't Kanye do it when it's that easy?

Me and a lad here in the office were discussing what an ass-hat Kanye is and one of the admin girls heard us and said she loves him.

When I asked why she said because he hates Taylor Swift and so does she because Taylor Swift broke Harry Styles heart.

Kanye West, loved by One Direction fans.

Not sure it would be as good for that though, the last four tracks are the best run of songs on the album imo.

People are weird.

I'm less and less convinced of that.
 
If he changed up the first verse to get rid of the Taylor Swift line that attracted all the headlines, Famous would make a great radio single. Rihanna on the hook, Nina Simone sample, and a positive sound to it all. Even got the Bernie Mac impersonation from Late Reg that would appeal to the old Kanye fans.

Especially considering that Taylor Swift and Harry Styles relationship was fake anyways, Just like Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles was... But that's a story for another day.
 
Name one genius that ain't a genius.
 
Kanye reminds me of those people at work that continually tell you how they're "really busy" and 'talk the talk' to the point you almost believe it it, then you see what they've produced and it's fecking shit. It's like the 'emperor's new clothes'.

I tried to listen to his music but its really awful - then I got angry that people proclaim him as a "genius"...after research it appears that it's only him, so self-promotion is probably the one skill that he has.

To be fair I'm not a fan of most of the genre but I am a trained musician of 20+ years and an amateur (as in my own stuff) producer / mix engineer and consider myself pretty knowledgeable. Granted 'good' is subjective and people like different things but for me he ticks no boxes - harmonically it's incredible basic, he can't sing and lyrics are awful...and if he hear how good the "production" is again, I may scream...I don't hear any inspiration at all. People may love his music, which is fine but for me, I don't get it past the pantomime personality.
 
There's a long, tedious thread waiting to be written about whether it's fair to conflate high-achieving, famous people (Kanye, Giggs etc etc) with their personal lives, and 'judge' them on the basis of those personal lives or perceived personality-faults. I'm too lazy to write it though.

If I make it she won't get to three pages, Cap'n. Say the word.
 
It's bound to be more popular than my Lord Lucan thread, chief. Some people claim the thread isn't dead, and that they've seen it in remote areas of wilderness.
 
Lord Lucan, look in, he ain't dead,
SteveJ he said, brown bread.
Tory be trippin'
His balls dippin'
But no charges were brought against him ultimately so I best stop now lest I be sued by his estate.

Kanye West - Itchy Arse
 
Worms to your mother, and so on.

Subtitle on The Guardians album review made me laugh.

When Kanye West’s album is good, it’s very good. So why does he spend so much time trying to show the world what a thundering plonker he is?
 
Now if I feck this model
And she just bleached her asshole
And I get bleach on my T-shirt
I'mma feel like an asshole
