Kanye West is an idiot Options

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.

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.

Of course I'm a girl...?

Cool, you have boobs and female genitalia.

And I absolutely would not call myself a groupie

*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.

but I think he needs to stfu sometimes.

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?
