You think Kanye is the only loudmouth asshole in rap? When minor rappers sound off, nobody pays attention. But they're just as stupid. I read a Meek Mill tirade against 50 Cent the other day. Motherfucker didn't even use real words. Spoke in nothing but abbreviated street slang, emojis and "u so (this), u so (that) 4 real" insults. Kanye looks like a master linguist by comparison.
But I've had the same thought honestly. Except it was more along the lines of "Trump is the Kanye of politics" but it's not analogous. Donald Trump's only resume level quality is that he's a billionaire who has made more money than he's lost. He's not respected in any community, and he has no talent for anything.
Kanye West is, even if you hate him, an absurdly talented individual. Even if he's not using his talents... it's proven. When MTV slammed him for being a "fake producer," SPIN retaliated with a pretty in depth article titled "the 101 best Kanye West songs that don't feature Kanye West," where they stacked facts like mad to support the notion that Kanye has contributed to the careers of countless artists, and debunked the assertion that he only co-signs or pulls production duty to benefit himself.
The guy's talented as hell. He knows what to do with a soundboard, if nothing else. He knows how to work a sample like nobody else on earth, and he knows how to create musical atmosphere that sucks people in almost without fail.
Donald Trump is the Vince Mcmahan of modern politics. He's a showboating idiot and wannabe daughter fucker.
