Billy Apple Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Lady Bones is my barometer for all things celebrity. I asked her opinion on the KW-gate-type thing. She says KW's problem is he's shorter than all the women around him. So there you have it. Quote

40hz Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Kanye is just the poster boy for this modern day rubbish that passes for hip-hop. His brand of dumbed down urban music is so unbelievably awful I can't believe people listen to him (personally speaking of course) he seemingly, in his songs, just mumbles crap about money and clubs over a jumbled skeletal beat with a weird sound effect of two thrown in (usually a dog being *anked off or the like) his ego is stratospheric and yet musically speaking, he's not anywhere near the hip-hop/rap legends (run dmc, 2pac, dr dre, snoop, notorious, nas, a tribe called quest, beastie boys etc etc). Rant over (sorry if anyone is offended, it's just so disrespectful to Beck it ground my gears) Edit - beyonce is a talented girl but one of those singers that is constantly oversinging (she's more of a brand than a bona fide artist imo) so instantly has me reaching for the skip button.

The Admiral Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Whilst I am not a fan of the Beck material I have heard (which isn't enough to really form an opinion) he does strike me as someone original and with interesting ideas, of his own, and a broad songwriting pallete. Beyoncé has made some great records, but isn't an artist in the same sense to my mind, and if Kanye wants to talk about originality, he should check this out : http://vimeo.com/16331452 I've got a Kanye album - the one with Goldigger, which as a track is made by the Ray Charles sample, but other than that it's just average and quite derivative pop rap. Outbursts like this are the consequence of living your life surrounded by people who ceaselessly kiss your arse, and never disagree with your opinions, no matter how misguided. "I'm right all the time - everyone agrees : I must therefore be right". He's not been the same since his mum died in tragic circumstances : cardiac arrest, following cosmetic surgery. She brought him up solo from the age of 3, was a respected academic, and frankly seems to have taken no sh*t from anyone. I bet he'd have been on the naughty step if she were still around. Quote
ubit Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 All Kanye has done is make me want to go and download the new Beck album, so maybe this was just a publicity stunt organised by the Beck camp. If so, it's worked By the way Kanye? No ye can't! Quote
LayDownThaFunk Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 It's one thing calling Kanye delusional but to say the man has no talent is just plain silly. Whatever he is, he sure has more money than you or I. Quote
UglyDog Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Thus making him a [i]wealthy[/i] utter knob, rather than just an utter knob. Unless of course you are suggesting money is a real indication of talent..? Quote
GreeneKing Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Great things come from Kayne West. I mean, just checked out Erykah Badu (modern Nina Simone?) and Anita Baker. Thank you B5 Quote

Telebass Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I have not heard (and will not likely hear) any of this man's music. so I will not comment on that. But on observed behaviour, he is an idiot of the first order. Quote
