Kanye West
Biography
In the span of three short years, Kanye West went from hip-hop beatmaker to worldwide hitmaker, as his stellar production work for Jay-Z led to a major-label recording contract and, ultimately, a wildly successful solo career. West paired his beats with tongue-twisting raps and a self-assured, flamboyant personality. His dapper fashion sense set him apart from many of his rap peers, and his confidence often came across as boastful or even egotistic, albeit amusingly so. This flamboyance, of course, made for good press, something that West enjoyed in spades during his sudden rise to celebrity status. He was a media darling, appearing and performing at countless awards shows (and winning at them, too), delivering theatrical videos to MTV, and mouthing off about whatever happened to cross his mind. He frequently spoke out against the rampant homophobia evident in much rap music, posed for the cover of Rolling Stone as Jesus Christ, and even claimed during a televised Hurricane Katrina fundraiser that "George Bush doesn't care about black people." West courted controversy, no question about it, but his steady presence in the celebrity limelight couldn't eclipse his musical talent.

At the end of the day, people will still love Kanye because of his music. His actions are questionable but his music is better than some of the artists work out there today.

I Totally Agree With Punk Guy With Stars in His Eyes Because He is Totally Right Most Hip-Hop Nowadays Isn't About Gangs Anymore It's All About Money. Most Rappers Today are Sell-Outs.

Kaiton Liao doesn't have to like Kanye if he doesn't want to.he's entitled to his opinion.i like Kanye's 3rd and 4th album but there are a couple of songs from his first 2 that i liked.
|
||
Yeah, the only difference is out of the studio he is an even bigger piece of crap than when he is in the studio
|
||
But yet he does all of those things in or without being in a studio...... . . .
|
||
One stupid talentless f**got. Can't sing, can't write, and can't play anything. Just a f**king dumbass who's talent is all in his studio
|
||
Kanye is still still a great artist no matter what. Sure his outburst and his most recent one with Taylor was really uncalled for but he apologized over and over again for it, get over it. Yes it wasn't right but are you going to hold a grudge against him forever, come on really?

Corporate, schmorporate . I don't care how much money a rapper may or may not have, if there is a message I can relate to ( dropping out of college) I will listen and have a good time. chill out and don't call people gay just because you don't like them, that's just nasty and weakens your argument.

Punk girl with guys on his mind is just mad because he's broke! Keep fighting the power tuff guy! Nonsense, just like this post!
|
||
i cant believe him he is gross what was he thinking when he did that to tayler swift on stage
|

hey Punk Guy With The Stars In His Eyes
most Hip-Hop is very negative and only talks about murder,drugs , a l c a h o l , b e a t i n g woman,trashi n g LGBT people and people with medical problems.Hip - H o p artist like Kanye West,Lupe Fiasco and The Black Eyed Peas bring a positive side to Hip-Hop. |

No he isn't. He's just another cog in the corporate hip-hop industry. He's part of the movement to grind hip-hop down into a bland paste. Hip-hop used to be a vibrant scene, there was so much potential. It was subversive and new. The very idea of putting very personal poetry behind a beat was revolutionar y , and so were the politics of hip-hop. It was all about rising above the bonds placed on the urban community by greedy politicians and slum lords. Kanye is all about making money, nothing else.

Kanye is the man and I dont care if he is an a**hole or not because his music is good and thats all that really matters ;) AND ITALY SUCKS "your a D-BAG"
|
||
he is a the biggest dick in the whole world! i dont kno how anyone can be more of an a**hole than he is.
|

He's a gay fish. And he's not as controversia l as some of the mavericks of the underground hip-hop scene like Aesop Rock or DJ Z-Trip. He's controversia l if you don't dare to go too deep into the hip-hop scene. Immortal Technique is way more controversia l , and so is Sage Francis. That being said, I used to like Kanye, back when I didn't know true hip-hop from a hole in the ground. He's an okay artist, he's just not the voice of a generation or anything else. He's just an egotistical idiot.

lol i wanted to look at these comments. the fact people still like him, and not just his music is hilarious. He's an egotistical retard with good music.
