Kanye West thinks he is the "voice" of this generation

Okay, seriously who does this guy think he is?? He's a good artist but he definitely is not all that he talks himself up to be. I honestly like his songs less after hearing that bullsh*t. It's one thing to be confident... but he just needs to keep his mouth shut about some things.

Well i think kanye west is a gud singa but he can be cocky at times, i listen to sum of his music but im a DRUM N BASS Fan lol,

A lot of artists are horrible people that I would personally never want to have a conversation with after meeting them for the first time. Take glen danzig for example. He's a satanist and I still love his voice or david dramen for instance, a complete ***hole.

The sad thing about Kanye is that I hate his music, and I hate him so . . f*ck him and all of that bullshit.

um have you listened to his new shit? definitely not commercial stuff. we teens took it upon ourselves to FIND his music.
i wasn't that big a fan of kanye, but 808's and heartbreak is amazing.

U MAD?!

Yes, I have actually. I believe the the mainstream song from 808's is "Love Lockdown" which was introduced to the mainstream public at the MTV VMA's.

And also, in Atlanta they don't walk around in beaters and jeans like Lil Wayne. The style is more similar to Kanye's. And I don't like Kanye's style mmmmkay

You've established that you prefer unkempt over classy. You're just repeating yourself. But the entire city of Atlanta doesn't dress like KanYe, that's a stretch.

they wouldn't be able to afford to

Wow you kids are f*cking ridiculous!! How old are you anyways?? They wouldn't be able to afford to in Atlanta!! That wins the ignorant remark of the day award, congrats! Hahaha you obviously don't know the first thing about some of the black people in Atlanta then. Maybe I'm only speaking for myself because I only associate with certain people, but from what I've seen, Kanye's style is imitated much more frequently than Lil Wayne's.

And second, I prefer unkempt over classy?? I don't think Kanye's style is classy, I think he dresses like the tool that he is. I think Lil Wayne's style is more casual, and more chill, and I prefer that. I wouldn't say he is unkempt, although that's more than I can say about a LOT of the people that try to dress like Lil Wayne. His style is more rough around the edges while Kanye's style is kind of cartoonish. I think Kanye tries too hard, period. So I don't like him!! End of story! If you like him, great, good for you, you're sooo cool. There really isn't anything else to argue about because I've heard what you've had to say, and I get it--you think he's awesome!

^ It's funny that you've said "we're all entitled to our own opinions" in nearly every post you've made. Stop perpetuating the argument if you're just gonna get pissed off.

TBoltzbabe is kinda hot.

when u say "they" it sounds like ur talkin about majority which is SO UNTRU. i been to atlanta, nd they werent dressin like kanye..... from the teenagers/young adults that i've seen they were either did the whole beeter thing or some other style and maybe 1 or 2 kanye's. but i wud say kany's style is more in the NY, tristate area

How am I perpetuating the argument when my every attempt to "agree to disagree" is met with some other smart remark or statement??? Clearly I'M not going to just ignore that. But don't get it twisted... I don't get pissed off at internet people anymore. Okay well I try my best not to, at least.

guys, i thought this was just a fun argument about whether kanye is the "voice of the people"... why so serious?

LETS PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE

Kanye West, the voice of a generation?
Probably not yet.

But I do think he's great. His shit is avant-garde.

Chill out, you took my comment way too seriously.

oh snap this ninja's a chick

Lol, we should move this to debate.

I know so so little about music in general that I wouldnt stand a chance.

She argues based on what she likes; I argue based on what's good and what isn't.

Yo, this girl is a GROUPIE. Get off his dick.

There is no defining factor of what's GOOD and what isn't. I have friends in the music production industry in Atlanta and even they argue about whether Kanye is better than Lil Wayne. True, Kanye is a producer and has a more extensive resume than Lil Wayne, but as far as rapping goes and being the "voice of the generation," that is something to be disputed.

Of course I'm a girl...? And I absolutely would not call myself a groupie but I definitely have respect for Lil Wayne and what he does! I would be lying if I said I didn't have respect for Kanye and what he did too... but I think he needs to stfu sometimes.

False. Do yourself a favor and listen to Superstar Pt. 0 by Canadian singer/emcee/guitarist K-OS. The dynamics of the track are amazing. From the jazz heavy production to how he delivers on the bars; it's an incredible song. That isn't to say that Lil' Wayne hasn't made any good music, because that wouldn't be a true statement. But to generally say that the majority of his released work is worth mentioning is laughable statement.



Just because they make music, doesn't necessarily mean they know music. Lil' Wayne serves his purpose in the music business. He's a cash cow. Musically speaking, he's a mediocre rapper and fails to be a multi-faceted artist.



I would never claim KanYe to be the voice of my generation, and if you look closely at the replies to the thread, most have stated something to that effect.



Cool, you have boobs and female genitalia.



*sigh. You're missing the point. If you were a guy, you'd be considerd a STAN based on your responses. If you wonder why you're getting so much flack for sticking up for someone who is more of a businessman than artist, please, feel free to refer back to bolded text.



It is nothing wrong with appreciating the music of, or having respect for, a given artist, as long as you are realistic about their accomplishments and shortcomings in a discussion such as this one.



Well... so do I. Especially after his GQ interview when he went on the record and admitted that he was ill-informed on political matters.

We good?

this video had me crackin up, i thought it was appropriate for this thread though since this would probably be close to his response

Hes gotten so douchy that I got banned for even mentioning him on 4chan.

Kanye west needs to shut the f*ck up for 20 mins and chill.The guy is always bitching at something like my puerto rican mama.
