I love Kanye West. He's my fav. producer aside from the Neps.

I like Kanye despite his is arrogance and cockiness. However, I think he is stupid for saying he thinks artists should get paid to be on covers of magazines because they are boosting "the sales of the magazine."

He doesn't understand that magazines are doing him a favor and boosting his sales. That's free advertisement, free photo shoots, setting the stories straight, getting his opinions out, etc all rolled into one.

I'm beginning to think he shouldn't have dropped out of college. That was the dumbest statement I've heard in a minute.

i don't know; it makes sense to me on both sides of the argument.

I think it's good as it is.. its a win-win situation... except maybe interscope is paying XXL because every month its a shady/aftermmath artists on the cover...

i think they should because would you just wanna stand there and not get paid?

wait. you're beginning to think he shouldn't have dropped out of college? im sorry, since when was dropping out of college ever good?

well, usually right before a major artist drops an album, he is on the cover of most of the big magazines, which helps boost album sales and gives him free promotion... win-win situation


hey anyone hear about kanyes other rift with VIBE? VIBE gave college dropout a 4/5 and kanye wouldn't do another interview with VIBE until VIBE published a retraction of the 4/5 rating cause kanye thought it deserved a classic...

really? that's kind of rude. i mean, i personally think it deserves a 5/5, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

Yeah, that my my friends uncle was telling me. I was like "what the hell"...He is too arrogant sometimes, not everyone is going think your album is a classic.

ok basick. now you get the late pass with this. that was like 2 years ago?

lol... i never said it was new and it was in march of 2004

i say i agree with your argument...but just because i don't think celebrities should get more money.

Hmm...well everybody isn't college material. If someone can't get the classes and doesn't feel as though college is right for them (and has another backup plan, music, dancing, etc) Then I say all power to them. But I think Kanye should have stayed in and learned some common sense. JK.

But yeah, you need to learn to think outside the box. It was a joke.

don't tell me what i need to learn. besides which, the expression "outside the box" typically refers to creativity and not fitting in, not being open minded. and i am being open minded. you're just not funny.

nah, they just want more money, those f*ckin b*tches.

yeah...that's what i think too but i think that being on the front of a magazine is a payment in it itself. x]

Wait, aren't they given money?
But who cares, it's his money. He can do whatever he wants with it.

This should be moved to debate. Since it is actually.... letting you choose the sides of the matter and discussing them.
