timmo Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1455648535' post='2981146'] How many white, working/middle class men listen to Kanye or any hip hop?

timmo Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Well, Bound 2 has got to be the worst rapping I have ever heard, and the rest of it is just as bad. If it had been anyone bar Kanye it would have been dismissed as third rate rapping as that is exactly what it is. The sampling is fourth rate. Oh yeah, he can`t sing Bohemian Rhapsody either.

I don't buy the entertainer/artist/persona angle, all I see is a shameless self promoting misogynist w***er.

mcnach Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1455649037' post='2981156'] Well you are if you diss something without listening to it. [/quote] I suspect most here are 'dissing' Kanye for his comments/antics, more than for his musical output, which often appears to take a second place to his public persona.

TimR Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 He bought a $2m 'starter mansion' and spent $xm on refurb, then was selling it for $20m. Allegedly they spent $750k on 4 gold plated toilets. Wonder how much of the debt I real and how much is underwritten by assets. My personal debt is about 5x my annual income. I'm guessing he pulls in more than $10m a year. Plus he's with Kim Kardasian isn't he? This is a very odd news story. That's the problem with social media. It can so easily be just stream of concious ramblings... Probably a bit like this post... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't bother me either way, I like his earlier stuff and i'll leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call it neither. It's made for radio, urban sh*te with hip-hop leanings perhaps. This is a million miles away from hip-hop, such as A Tribe Called Quest or Jurassic 5.

Daz39 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yes - I can recall proper hip-hop such as A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul etc., but this is just 'urban' and it's utter tripe. There are countless artists far better than him but who can't afford the PR. He's currently trying to get the photoshopped pic of him snogging himself taken off the internet. (Someone, find the button and turn it off while we remove the source of the picture. That'll do it.) Bieber had a definite teenage phase of being a pillock (to put it mildly)- guess that can happen when you sell a million records at 15 or whatever it was. He appears to be a but more sensible now (his music's still not my cup of tea) - but he did, for instance, tell his UK fans to download the NHS song at xmas so it could beat him to Number 1. Now, you can argue that was clever no-lose PR from him, but the effect was still altruistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's room for all of those acts under the Hip Hop umbrella. And I didn't say it was rap. And to be honest I find your assertion that "made for radio" music is "sh*te" quite rude actually.

keefbaker Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Saying it's not hip hop is like saying nu-metal isn't metal. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you're all of a sudden allowed to decided it doesn't fit in the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
