how does kanye west get away with writing fucking ipod commercial trash, much less be branded a genius in so doing? swear to god if his stuff got put up on youtube by some pasty, zit-covered amateur white teen girl it would be a fucking laughing stock. hype can do incredible things when thrust upon the imbeciles of this planet.

hip hop fans seem to comprehend genius on terms totally divorced from the actual objective quality of the music.

this is the future of art......??? 21st century vanguard(s....)
![]() I don't care about what people like so much as I care about wholly undeserving individuals being the benefactors of falsified personality cults. there are artists far more deserving of adoration than this hack whose sole redeeming works (however scant they may be) can be attributed to his producers. |
I'm confused. Are you talking about Kanye? Cuz his best works were produced by... Kanye.

What is this "objective quality of music" you speak of? Art without possesses no non-subjective quality. You need a tool by which to measure quality before you can make statements about the "quality" of music. People who don't like Mozart are gonna say Mozart "sucks." This is why art is art. If art was science, you'd probably have something to gripe about. All you're really saying is that you don't like Kanye West. So why don't you just say that, instead of acting as though it's everyone else's problem for liking him? It's more respectful and respectable. As brilliant as Bach was, I'm always going to prefer Aphex Twin, and Thurston Moore's extended feedback jams. Am I wrong to feel this way? Impossible to say. Kanye shits all over Mozart and Bach too. haha |

What the fuck man? You're fucking up our thread! And you obviously know about as much about Kanye West as my cat knows about Russian literature. There are sooooo many artists who deserve their hype less than Kanye West does. Hell, Paul McCartney's a fan. Leave us, sir. I SAID LEAVE US! |

apologies for any confusion, am working through some real emotional trauma with this at the minute. also 95% trolling but hey I'm fucking bemused.
expanding on my thought process, take yeezus as west's artistic zenith: while I can appreciate how brazen that record must sound from a mainstream perspective, the fact remains that musically speaking it accomplishes nothing, WHICH WOULD BE FINE were the man not revered as if he is some deity, a man who is somehow burdened by the greatest bout of creativity ever known to humankind. it's almost as if kanye west as an individual has been supplanted by the notional kanye, kanye the god, to the point where this frankly dull self-constructed characterisation has rendered his music irrefutably worthy of veneration so to speak. and while I can tolerate this TO A POINT, when you start making starbucks R&B pop with paul mccartney, whose presence on this frankly atrocious song does little but tarnish his already faded legacy I think that we as a purportedly discerning (or so it may have once seemed) listenership must re-evaluate. I mean mccartney's presence is indistinguishable to the point where were it not mccartney the instrumental would go unnoticed. what I'm saying is that the kanye west/rihanna/mccartney track sounds like sandi fucking thom, and yet our fundamentally cynical society is so blinded by the non-existent 'west enigma' as to fail to recognise that yes, this music is OBJECTIVELY SHIT. OBJECTIVELY. IRREFUTABLY. FUCKING. SHITE. BALLS. SCROTUM. |

in the eyes of the public, Kanye gets more unwarranted hate than anything, despite how amazing his last two solo albums were. most people just write him off solely for being known as an "asshole" without giving his music a chance. just go to pretty much any social media website and read the comments about him.
