Can someone explain Kanye West to me?

[Snowbunny]

And probably the wrong community, on the whole. But thanks for playing.

I think he may have been a producer/performer of note within certain circles, but most all hiphop/top-40 performers elude me as to their popularity and acclaim. Kanye, Pee Doody, Jay Z, not to mention a host of auto-tuned, tire sniffin poptarts like Katy Perry and Kesha.

The only thing Jay Z has done that I really like is Beyonce.

Kesha - what a tool. They had her on one of the new years shows 2 years ago and when asked what her New Years Resolution was, her answer was "To not be a Douche Bag". I guess that was self admittance that she already was one.

As for Kanye, I thought he started out doing Religious Rap, but just couldn't hold a candle to Matisyahu. When he performed at the Sandy Relief concert in his little leather skirt, I could not understand a word he said nor could I figure out why they even let his lousy act in the show at all.

And Finch, You are the right guy!

As a musician, he is lost on me.........I don't get it.
As a person, he appears to be a narcissistic a$$hole.
Probably due to deep-seated insecurities.

the overwhelming thought of most people that know anything about him think he is a d-bag and wish that he would just go away and get out of the music business because all he really does is talk a lot of s$%^ and embarrass himself on national tv about once a year. I also don't see talent when you have to use a computer program to fix your vocal tone and to get your voice on the right note.

Hi Harley,

He seems to think that being weird makes him an artiste.

And his whole obsession with fashion makes no sense to me, at all!

Serves him right that he will now only be remembered as a footnote to the Khardashian tragedy.

I consider it more of a Khardashian Lethargy.

Haha! You know what I find sad? I kind of like Kim, but I feel like Kanye is stealing her joy, at a time when she should be so happy.

And then I remember that she's a millionaire who has never had to "work" a day in her life and suddenly I don't feel sad for her at all.

I saw that! Had no idea who she was and thought it was really sad.

Hehehe... good one! I see his music described as rap, and it really doesn't sound like any rap I know.
