Is this really as bad as I think?

I made the mistake of buying one of Kayne West's albums, it's sh*t. Hence I didn't even bother clicking on the link, he's a talentless tw*nt.

I can't say the thought of listening to Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon or The Killers fills me with any more excitement but then none of that music is aimed at my generation. It all seems a bit bland and uninspiring to me.

I don't know about Kings of Leon or The Killers, but one or two tracks from the Monkeys' 'AM' I thought were pretty good. About fifteen billion times better than KW, anyway. But there's nowt as queer as folk, each to their own, one man's trash, beauty in the eye (or ear) of the beholder, etc.

I think he's trying to divide opinions here. He's ditching the more produced sound he used to have and going for something more raw that sounds almost hastily flung together. You could argue that that makes it less bland and boring than some of his other singles.
It doesn't do anything for me, but there will be listeners out there who get a kick out of that.

I'm not saying that one is better than the other just that all sound to me so boring, dreary and lacking in imagination.

This is probably more of a reflection on the times we live in as much as anything to do with music.

I to thought this was a spoof,in fact its so bad i havent even heard my teenage daughter playing it! kinda reminds me of some over sentimental soft rock rubbish from the 80s ,and i imagine the target audience is predominately white teenagers not black america at all.

Is it not a possibility that he's actually special needs and he has his status because people think he deserves a chance?

I thought I had some random music playing along with that song, but nope, turns out it's just a horrible clash of music and "singing".

[Judo Chop]

Some of the ridiculous things he says make me believe that he's actually part of an elaborate practical joke.

"It’s like this, by not giving my album a classic rating, you diminish your magazine’s credibility. And that’s real."

"When I think of competition it's like I try to create against the past. I think about Michelangelo and Picasso, you know, the pyramids."

"I got into doing beats for the video games I used to try to make. My game was very sexual. The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas. Mind you, I'm 12 years old, and this is stuff 30-year-olds are programming. You'd have to draw in and program every little step — it literally took me all night to do a step, 'cause the penis, y'know, had little feet and eyes."

Kanye's taking the p**s out of us!
