ive seen a lot of opinions about kanye west in the boards. i really just wanna hear the reasons why people either love him or hate him.

some say hes a great lyricist, or maybe even a pioner,and others say hes a try-hard uncle tom Nas wannabe and a whole lot of other bullshit.

id just like to hear some thoughts

i would love to hear somebody argue that kanye is a great lyricist,hahaha.his beats are nothing special either. nothing that producers like 9th wonder havent been doing for years.

step 1: make a basic boom bap beat

step 2: put catchy sample that will get stuck in peoples heads

step 3: repeat

Scratch magazine called him a musical genius. I think he is overrated. P. Diddy been making hits off of samples in the 90's. His flows aint that great either. He just says a lot of political stuff. His best beat created imho is "Guess who's back" by Scarface. The beat was sampled but it was a masterpiece.

99% of "masterpiece" beats are sampled.

Hip hop wouldn't be shit in the production category if it wasn't for sampling.

But I feel you, other than that.

He just brought in a new style at the right time, when the industry needed a change, he changed a lot of things and paved some new paths opened some doors.

i can't stand his cocky arrogant attitude...

and the way he cries and throws a temper tantrum when he doesn't win an award...

its just his attitude that fucks it up for him.

his music is straight gay, I can't stand these samples he uses for hooks

hip-hop has always been about comin hard and being 100% anti-gay, how can people like these wack ass tiny voices he throws in with his sped up soul samples, I can't understand that

Moreover they are not even catchy

I think he is an arrogant asshole and a closet homosexual. Dude is talented though I just get sick of seeing his face on tv all the time and his music gets so overplayed...

95 / 100 Producers sample they music so why hate him just bc he sample music? makes no sense. And no Im not a big Kanye West fan either for the record I didnt like the College Dropout album and thought Late Registration was okay. I just liek his production for other artist.

The fact that some people from all over are losing respect for him cuz hes trying hard to become all controversial & shit like for instance appearing on the magazines claimin that hes the next Jesus Christ even though he in reel person, he thinks of himself too much like for instance ya seen his interview on MTV when theyre talkin about the American Music Awards situation when he all of the sudden got all pissed off when he lost the award to that country chick Gretchen Wilson & later hes been acting like he's god's son & hes invincible & all that shit... That was when hes started to become more overrated & annoying after awhile, all Hollywood & shit like hes the next
Jay-Z or P. Diddy??? LOL! at this conceited big-headed assface......
That shit aint right in reality man! People, even your closest friends are gonna end up hating you constantly for goin off like that man......
All that glamour does is wash your brain instensively that you can even not know any of your former family & friends no more...... All your new friends are the celebrities livin next door to you...... Do I make some sense here???
