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.

I'm tired of this s**t. I've seen it on every station. How about if you don't like the artist, don't comment. We don't need to hear all this negative crap.

kanye is a great artist. he just fails misrably as a human being. but kanye makes some of my favorite songs, like heartless, love lockdown, and stronger. just cuz your a bad person doesn't mean you suck as an artist...but i still hate kanye as a person. very racist in my opinion. id probly be racist too if my dad was a black panther...tr u e story.

Kanye definite is not the best artist out there. He says dumb things and is kinda of arrogant. Some of his songs do have a decent beat, but than his lyrics are in question. :sigh: This is the reason I stick to my Jay-Z and Timberlake combo station.
|
||
Kanye's is still a great artist no matter how many outbursts
he may have haha, and so is Taylor. But either way Kanye's is awesome!!!! |
||
One time I dropped my violin on the ground by accident.. It still sounded far better than any of Kanye's sonar sludge.
|
||
Whatev 2 all you people who r sticking up 4 him I still hate him
nothin will change my mind |
||
Well....I made a Kanye station just to talk s**t about his ignorant, simple minded, insecure dumbass.
So now time to delete it and listen to some actual.....m u s i c . Everyone trying to stick up for him saying "he just said something stupid, leave him alone....waa a a , waaaaaa. Poor Kanye" - can suck it. He's a b**ch. and His music is a joke. All he cares about is looking good and dropping name brands in his "music". PATHETIC. Kanye, listen to some KRS ONE.....your an embarrassmen t . |
||
Yep you're right.. He's totally amazing live, I mean.. How does he suck so hard?
And also I've always hated his music even before that whole Taylor Swift incident. In fact I was laughing my a** off through that haha! This guy is just one more corporate clone in the machine called the music industry. |
||
Jr God is right. One of you who is talking crap about kanye and his music has a Kanye West station. His music is good!He can act like an idiot sometimes but his music is good. End....of... . s t o r y .
|
||
wow he is the worst! Taylor Swift was really dissapointed when he said that! He is a b!
|
||
lol.
he's a punk, and his music really aint nuttin special. IGHT? getole11? |
||
to be honest i think the award should have gone to either Pink,Kelly Clarkson or Lady GaGa.
|
||
ok everyone
1.all he did was express an opinion.he didn't say Taylor Swift didn't deserve the award.all he said was that Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. and 2.would it have mattered if he expressed his opinion at a later time.no it wouldn't cause people would still give him crap about it. |
||
"leave him the f**k alone" he is the savior of hip-hop.The man is human he make mitakes too,now yall want to switch on him just cause he's in this perdictament . w e l l f**k yall den i got his back. a year ago yall was probably bouncing to his music now look at cha

Please people don’t move this hard on Kanye! No doubt, he is one of the Best! I am telling yall! If you don't believe me I don't care but if you wanna see whether he is talented or not just search for some of his live performances , here I'm posting one for instance.
http://www.y o u t u b e . c o m / w a t c h ? v = 1 P 7 D E J b _ O M 4 I believe most of the haters don't even know him they just through I dea after they saw him acting that "stupid!" Watch this video before you start judging him! ight!? |
||
Artists like Massive Attack can kick Kanye West's a** up and down a curb and s**t all over his f**king face.
This no-talent dumbass really needs to get his mouth sewn shut and his hands cut off. Because he can't sing or write. Absolutely no talent or depth in his s**t. Just more s**t that relies on a studio for "talent" if that's what you wanna call it. |
||
ya, make some more raps and throw out name brands left and right....
substance??? nah...not here. |
||
drunk or not, he showed his ignorance and insecurity of an african american being upstaged by a caucasian.
Nice....in 2009, with a black president were still dealing with attitudes like this? except this time the hate comes from a black man... You f**king clown. You get the a** of the year award. I would LOVE to hear what the teacher - Blastmaster KRS ONE has to say about this juvenile child fuckhead. Your pop radio "hip hop" s**t sucks Kanye. Underground is where its at. |
||
I get it #1 Taylor Swift fan. People need to understand something, the guy was drunk. Eventually all of us are going to do something stupid in our life that we regret. @ the VMA's, that was Kanye's moment
