Because he's actually an artist and his music has meaning, unlike shitty rappers who just spew garbage.

its not even rap.

through the wire was really the only good song. People like him because he is "different". This is pop music at its finest. Anyone who thinks, "oh he is better than all these other rappers who dont rap about shit" obviously dont listen to rap at all, and if they have sampled rap, it was probably some more POP rap on the KISS stations.

Its all about being different, every generation wants that next different artist.

lol @ him being ****** bag. So what? Yeah he's a complete ******, but let's not forget and I've read this many times from the medi... the Greatest Player to play Basketball, himself Michael Jordan was a bit of a ****** bag too.

Goldigger is the only thing I like about him and maybe good life other then that his music blows and his ego is fucked up. Shitty person. I can't stand rap from today though it's not even rap now its techno and hip-hop combined. Old school is rap and I like Jadakiss...

You're right, it's not rap, it's hip-hop.

& um yeah, he really doesn't rap about the same things most do. You obviously haven't listened to much of his work if you believe that. He raps about home & family quite a bit, actually.

I realize that he is from Chicago, but I have never heard a good song from this guy. Does it really take talent to rap with his terrible voice? Does he even write his own stuff...? I just can't wrap my mind around it.
:facepalm: So many things wrong with this post...

Never heard a good song?

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETPFe72omjY]‪kanye west good morning‬‏ - YouTube[/ame]

Terrible voice? lolwut?

Yes he does write his own stuff. There's a reason why Rolling Stone named his first album, College Dropout, the best hip hop album of the decade (00-09).

And, to top it off, the guy is a complete and utter ******.
As someone already stated MJ was a ****** too. You don't have to like someone personally to like their music...at least I don't.

Kanye doesn't make rap. He makes hip hop.

Through the wire is just one of his good songs. He has 2, almost 3 classic albums. What Yeezy makes isn't pop albums. What you're talking about is 808s and Heartbreak. If that's the only thing you listen to then you can't honestly sit here and judge him.

It's all about putting out the best product possible. Kanye hasn't released ONE bad album. 808s & Heartbreak for what it's worth is easily Kanye's best produced album although the autotune and subject matter ruined it. Graduation is my favorite album. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy will be a classic in a few years. College Dropout is a consensus classic. Late Registration is a dope album too.

If you think Yeezy is pop I feel sorry for you honestly...

lets not confuse kanye with some shit hip hop guys like lil boozy and lil wayne

this guy is much different...he's alot more jay z than ja-kwon

he even produces his own stuff

and so what if he's kind of a ****** bag? i can a bunch of famous and popular people off my head that were giant douches..as zack, said MJ, babe ruth the most well known and beloved baseball player ever was a HUGE ******

not everyone is necessarily nice..but that doesnt take away from the content of their music

lol ya it does sound a bit Special person but we're comparing personalities...

both mj and kanye are relatively popular and famous(mj is,ya, a "little" more famous, to say the least) but both are not necessarily role models...

not every popular athlete or person in general is going to be likable..because they are human..and they have flaws..some more than others

so..its important to separate your own thoughts about the person's personality and their talent or how good they are at their respective job or thing they do(although alot of the time those things are hard for us to separate..i have that problem myself quite a bit)

lol I didn't compare Kanye and MJ.

I'm simply saying MJ was the best player in the game and even he was a bit of a douchebag.

Kanye is one of the best in the game right now, and he's a ******.

And... When you listen to music, do you listen for quality? or do you listen to how much of a ****** someone is?


People that say they won't listen to Kanye cause he's a ****** are doing it wrong... Just because someone is a ****** doesn't mean you can't like his music lol
