For the record: KANYE WEST IS UNTOUCHABLE!!!!!! “If u admire somebody u should go ‘head tell ‘em; people never get the flowers while they can still smell ‘em. An IDOL in MY eyes, god of the game, heart of the city, Roc-A-Fella chain…”He’s MY inspiration, like MY Big Brother! Dover, DE

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I believe that Kanye has a style all his own, and that cannot be altered. I urge everyone to actually LISTEN to what he is saying in his rhymes and HONESTLY say that u cannot relate. I would have a HARDF time believing that he doesnt say ANYTHING that reaches u. Instead of being so condescending, and negative, celebrate everyobe for their contributions to the game. (Thats of u really, really listen to and respect music). TOP OF THE MORNING, E’RYBODY!

I love kanye west but graduation sux asshole! i love kanye i loved late registration was on of the most amazing albums i have ever heard! hey mama touch the sky all his lyrics! diamonds… but graduation? wtf sounds like some lame ass r and b album sounds like usher ft. beyonce… wtf? stronger is frankly average.. everything else is just dull and dreary and boring with no great lyrics. disappointed.

Album of the year for sure. Most people say “Drunk & Hot Girls” sux, which surprises me b/c it was actually one of my favortie song on the album. Kanye is a top 5 MC (as he admits in “Barry Bonds”. He gets an A for his rapping and production and a D on his politics.

Picked it up today at lunch. Can’t wait to pump it when I get home tonight.

the best ever behind Jay-Z of course.

THE GOOD LIFE WILL BE A MONSTER HIT FROM THIS ALBUM INDEED. KANYE WILL CRUSH 50′S ALBUM SALES, HE’S ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED EMCEES OUT NOW. TOP 5 OF TODAY AND TOP 20
OF ALL TIME

What’s a Kanye?

All i got to say is Good Morning haters. Wake up this mans a genius. He can put out real hip hop into the mainstream, not this soulja boy shit, the only time I should ever hear that is at a party. Lyriclly he is so sick call 9/11, im buyin 5 copyies of the album on tues. The beats on this album is sick, good life will have bumpin this shit in your car, headphones, u might break out dancein at work in yo cubical shit is so raw.
Every song on the album is an easy A, i have to say except “Drunk and Hot Girls” he could have gone wit out that song on the album, but that is forsherly,(

I loved the last two records, but I’m not at all impressed by “Graduation,” and it makes me awfully sad. “Stronger” showcases Kanye’s mad sampling ear… but he ruins it with a Diddy-esque rap that’s well beneath even his limited rapping ability. “Homecoming,” the much-ballyhooed collaboration with Coldplay’s Chris Martin, matches an awful sample with awful lyrics and another dreadful rap, and it’s easily the worst thing Kanye’s ever done. And “Can’t Tell Me Nothin’” is just plain-out, flat-out boring.

Look, don’t accuse me of being a hater, folks. I love Kanye. “Hey Mama” is one of the most touching songs — not rap songs, but SONGS — ever written (along with one of his best lyrics, genius in its simplicity: “I started to cry as we knelt on the kitchen floor / I said, “Mommy, I’m gonna love you ’til you don’t hurt no more / And when I get older, you ain’t gotta work no more / And I’m gonna get you that mansion that we couldn’t afford”). “Touch the Sky” was an outstanding bit of pop mastery. “Jesus Walks” is one of the best rap singles I’ve ever heard.

But I just don’t think success has been kind to Mr. West. Granted, it’s refreshing to hear a guy rapping about regular-guy stuff, about clubbing and loving his city, but frankly, I’ll take Lupe Fiasco rapping about skateboarding and being a sci-fi dork to Kanye’s telling me how long he’s been up on me. This is the turkey album of the year. Maybe my expectations were too high, but Kanye set him there himself. Too bad he crumbled under the pressure.

This album is Bananas- despite reviews, EVERY song is hot. The lowest anyone can rate it is 4.5 b/c Wayne doesn’t smash his verse on “Barry Bonds”…but I rate it a 5. Kanye is definitely on the track to being the G.O.A.T. this guy hasn’t dropped a “mediocre” album yet…this is his best to date. He’s a genius and deserves Album of the Year…he’s changing the world- like it or not.

this guy is a talented thinker

talent is probably some thing that a lot of haters lack that’s why they write such negative comment s yeah you can’t tell me nothin’

what is the song being sampled on you can’t tell me nothing

what is the song being sampled on you can’t tell me nothing

Kanye West is definitely a musical genius of our time. The majority of people hating him tend to be those who enjoy the same watered down radio rap we’ve been hearing forever now. Kanye dares to innovate and that’s a great thing in music today.

Re: Kanye is a P.Diddy wannabe?

P.Diddy could never rap, have anything a shred of substance (unless it had something to Biggie Smalls) no style (not talking about his clothes) or fresh rhymes like West does.

The only thing they have in common is sampling, which thus you’re telling us that Diddy was the first person to sample a song?

Don’t be stupid.

if you think kanye’s corny then why are u looking his shit up online and wasting your time commenting? he’s nice.. sampling is his style, he’s a good match of catchy music with strong lyrics

and that’s that

yo let be real kanye is sick all yall ewho think he ant are just fuckin idiots that dont know music all u wanna hear is kill that nigga sell that crack fuck the bitch all that shit and not listen to real tracks lets put it this way im a black man and wat i have to say is “NIGGAS” dont like kanye all they like is the same old shoot that nigga shit! Kanye is Ballin!

Kanye is a Puff Daddy wannabe

I’m glad that many of you feel the same way that I do! Kanye is one of the greatest of this era. I can’t say much for many artist out now, but at least the man has something to say! All I hear from damn near everyone else is selling crack, nice cars, selling more crack and getting more money! Its nice that someone can switch it up and give us some real shit! I have all his cd’s and I will be buying graduation when it hits the stores! Give respect to those who deserve it.. and Kanye does!

I’ve got more to live for than some of you bitches talkin shit. Get your negative asses out and make music better than me, with more awards. Good F**$in Luck! (”IceCi”)

You all know Kanye is the best and could not get any better, it is not a discussion, please shut your mouth if you are just gonna make up some crap. I am here to read some positive stuff about the best multitalented rapper/producer alive. What I have to say is that Kanye has an ability to make addictive music that NEVER sucks (not like lil wayne, ect.), I KNOW EVERY F#$@IN TRACK HE HAS MADE IF HE PRODUCED IT OR WROTE IT! DON”T TALK OUT YOUR ASS!

“…Haters gon hate that’s the way it is, Hater niggaz marry hater bitches and have hater kids”

I would like to send out a personal “THANK YOU” to all of Kanye’s haters. Thank you for the motivation. Thank you for the FREE publicity. YOU are an vital part of his success. YOU are appreciated.

P.S. Late Registration was an absolute masterpiece. If there was an actual mark for perfection, Late Registration would have reached it. The College Dropout is the epitome of classic. It revolutionized music in the 21st century.

“New gospel homie take six and take this HATERS!”

I’M A MUSIC MAKER MYSELF, ABSOLUTLY RESPECT K. BUT HE NEEDS TO “SLOW DOWN”. I WENT TO A CONCERT OF HIS LAST YEAR AT THE CAPE TOWN DOME. THE GUY FORGOT 3 OF HIS TRACKS, STOPED THE SHOW 3 TIMES BEACAUSE OF THAT, DIDN’T EVEN TRY TO HIDE IT. EVEN WALKED OFF STAGE TO CHAT TO SOMEONE DURING THE SET. THAT SH$% DOESN’T FLY.

DON’T KNOW ABOUT HIS OTHER SHOWS, BUT IT SEEMED HE DIDN’T GIVE A RATS BALLS ABOUT THE AUDIENCE/FANS. OR MAYBE HE FIGURED “OH THIS IS “AFRICA”, WHATEVER.”

GET IT TOGETHER BOSS

Truth, you are some bull$hit…I am from the south, and I like Nas,Jay-z, Beanz, hell the list could go on…Kanye tells the truth, and he is a hell of a producer. I am a fan of rap period….if the beat is good, and the lyrics are tight, I could give a fuck less where the artist is from. And before you bash boosie maybe you should hear some of his older mixtapes that have not hit the record stores, because that dude is cold blooded….

Graduation is going to be a master piece. Kayne is the only ‘commercial artist today that i can say puts his all into every project he takes on. Haters, get ready to hate like youve never before… GOOD MUSIC

Rakim is the best ever then follows nas …. If you dnt agree look it up and pay attention to the clever wordplay and lyrics.
peace.

To Notta Hatter:
I cant say Boosie is complete garbage, he makes certain O.k. club music, but other than that, lyrically you say those in the struggle can relate to him, what about those that arnt in any type of struggle, its like he and others are defined as hiphop.. and thats not the case, Ive heard people say Boosie T.I, and a few others are better than legends like Tupac and other Greats (such as Kanye, and Eminem) so thats why i feel “hiphop” is outta hand… And I’ve lived in Ga. (an 1 1/2 away from ATL since I was six) so im not just agreeing with where the artist are from, im saying there version of hiphop is headed down hill…Truth

George Bush doesn’t care about Black people.

#1 if you think that the south is “killing” hip hop, you must be from up north and hating cuz its our turn! everybody wanna hate on cats like lil boosie, the boy just spitting his struggles and if you from the struggle u can appreciate that #2 kayne west is one of the best to come thru period. and the more you haters hate, the more fuee you add to his tank so please, KEEP HATING! cuz of u he’s putting out good music and I’m lovin’ it! so thanks for being born a hater and keep it up!

you all talk about ye like he is some kinda god or some shit. taking samples from pop songs is nothing new so don’t act like kanye is doing something cutting edge. ill give kanye his props in that he makes hits but he is not the GOD that yall make him out to be, listen to jay or biggie for the rap phenom you’re so desperately looking for

…dam… im still bored…taking a break from da beats…hey ..all you hater …kanye west is one of the best rappers/marketer of all time. man is nice RESPECT him period. plus hes nice to his mother…ask young jeezy wat he thik bout his momma lol

no offense to jezzy…anyway Kanye West is Bananas screw all of ya!!!

peace from da heights NYC!!!

people who say ‘kanye west should stop sampling and stick to his own music’ are idiots. about 1/3 of his stuff is sampled not the 90% that they seem to think

Sigh… All these people saying that Kanye is Garbage and Etc.. those are probably the “LIL Boosie lovn, 8 ball CD havn, Nas Hatn People that help the killing of hip hop, if you notice Kanye has alot of (White Haters) the discussion of music is all an opinion, good music is a perception, and Kanyes uh Legend, yall sleepn on him, ” Now i could let these dream killers kill my selfesteem or use my arrogance as esteem to power my dreams, I use it as my gas so they say that i’m gassed, but without it I’d last so I ought to Laugh!” Yeah… Kanyes a beast on the Mike!!

CANT TELL ME NOTHIN IS ABOVE AVERAGE…REDUCE THE HATE-

is very hot!!!!!paz y amor.

Dont Diss Timbo man he makes careers along with kanye west And JD

Kanye will stay on top. There is no one making hip-hop and soul music the way he is and not many can come close to his lyrics. No matter if they may sound cheezy, it pays the bills and puts grammy’s on his and everyone’s shelfs that he works with. Timbo who?

Alright, I think I’ll rescind my comment from before.

First, I heard “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” will NOT be on the album, but is just a mixtape promo single. Which is great, because that song is downright mediocre.

Second, I heard two potential tracks on the album on the new mixtape he let out.

“Stronger”-Think “Gold Digger” except with Daft Punk, synths and a message on being better than you could be. My new “workout” song, and could be the biggest hit off the new album. A-

“Bittersweet”-Sure, there have been many leaks of the song, but I finally heard the whole song. It wasn’t on his mixtape, but some pre-made website mixtape that my friend gave me. It’s pretty good, but with this and Stronger, it almost seems like a power struggle to see who will be the heir to “Gold Digger”. B

I have a new excitement now. And I heard the date is getting pushed up to August. So this could be something better than LR. I hope.

Poopy.

Kanye West is not of Nas’s era nas started rappin in 1993
Kanye is the best of his era
and overall has the most talent in hip hop today

First of all the late registration album was da best album to hit stores for the past few yrs. in hip hop. I believe his new album will be of more relavance than the over-anticipation of Jay-Z’s crappy Kingdom Come album. Can’t Tell Me nothing isnt all dat strong lyrically but it is blended in such a way with the beat dat it becomes more than just an average song. And yes kanye west has been a better rapper than nas for the past few albums(Even Jay-Z)

“Hey, If you can’t see the talent this man has, you’re blind.”

Well at least you got the first part of your post right.

Hey, If you can’t see the talent this man has, you’re blind. He takes hit songs, loops them, and creates hit songs. Brilliant!!! Not.

Whats the deal with this rap music? People talking fast or “rapping over sampled beats - crazy.

And what kind of a name is Kanye West? Do you think he has a relative named Jim East? or perhaps Jim North??

Hahahahah Im too funny.

Everyone who says Kanye sucks..well..I hope you have enjoyed the cumulative 12 weeks he’s sat in the #1 spot so far on the Billboard Charts.

Get ready for 8-10 more weeks of that because he’s going nowhere.

‘Ye is the best rapper in the game and all you haterz need to dig out your Pac and Biggie and hope for some “Better Dayz”.

Meanwhile, ima be bumpin this shit real loud.

To know that Kanye will be sampling Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” make me very excited.

To all you haters. This will be album of the year and the year after.

Kanye’s an a-ight producer, better than most but still has a long way to go. Overall he get’s a passing grade for his willingness to do what others dream of. That’s continue in the line of cat’s like Dre. Make em’ then ROC em’.

I think that Kanye is a good artist all around because he brings a sence of real hip hop to most of his music. He keeps it real when he says he knows he’s wrong for some of the songs that he makes. The idiot that says he has no emotion when he raps is tone death and forgets the fact that his mouth is never going to fully heal from the accident. Just because his musing is entertaining most people who think they are real hip-hop fans think that he should rhyme like they do. my subliminal mind is like the outer space but my criminal mind is takin yo place…. Real hip-hop was entertaining stories that were not always true!

you cannot call anyone who works with jon brion talentless. jon brion is the king of talent- he doesn’t work with bums.

kanye west is a ledddged! how can u fools diss him he rocks i love him hes B-E-Autiful! you guys have no taste in music if you dont like him!! xx

kanye west is a ledddged! how can u fools diss him he rocks i love him hes B-E-Autiful! you guys have no taste in music if you dont like him!! xx

Havent you learn that arguing about music is a waste of time yet? Grow up and piss off.

Listen to real music. Calle 13… maybe?

My mom’s teeth are so yellow that when she smiles, traffic starts to slow down.

I’m totally bored.

kanye is the best he’s super dope graduation will be a dope recording off the charts

jc you hurt me so today i’ll never forget today realationship your tuely a bitch

No one knows what to expect from this album, indeed the production sector is a highlight of all his previous albums and probably his forthcoming too, but realistically Kanye West’s is not a great lyricist & shows no emotions in his pronunciation which makes him sound bland. But wateva the album will be big just because of the big name. & He is not the best rapper of his era, NaS is.

His first album was good, 2nd one great….hopefully number 3 will be another great one.

Look at me, I’m such a chump
I make white people crunk and jump
Pam Anderson’s in my song
But why ain’t my dick Tommy Lee long?

I thought The College Dropout was great, a nice hip hop album whose production values were nothing short of refreshing.

After that, things have gone downhill.

Kanye West has become this media circus freak and is now showing it in his music. I hate to say this, but Graduation is just not gonna be that good. He’s too preoccupied looking at Louis Vitton and complaining at award shows.

Kanye is the best rapper of his era. He disappoints me because he has the ability to make good songs with more influential lyrics than what everyone else raps about and he chooses not to. But if you don’t like Kanye’s music, then you don’t like rap.

Do people even know how and when to use capital letters any more?

People like “anonymous” and “To ME” are the reason why this country’s future isn’t looking too bright. Come on America, get an education! Stop the madness!

hey me, i hope someone beats you up in the near future.

My mom eats rancid wang.

Girls, Girls, Girls, You’re all pretty!

I try to understand why anyone with a brain in their head would listen to talent-free dipshits like Kanye West purely from the perspective of sociological curiosity. For those of us clear-thinking individuals, it is quite puzzling indeed.

The person who responded as “To Me” is the kind of ridiculous moron that listens to Kanye West. His/her command of grammar, punctuation, and spelling is a clear indicator of the puny mind at work.

you don’t try to understand it cuz you simply know that you can’t no matter how hard you try! how does that feel? then you have the nerve to call urself intellegent??

People who don’t like Kanye West check this out because they’re generally curious about why on God’s green Earth anyone would like this imbecile or his crappy music. Intelligent people like me who can’t stand Kanye West are trying to understand the madness of the people that do like him.

Nice Beck reference in the article.

cutie the bomb
met her at a beauty salon

baby louis vaton
under her underarm!

I think Kanye should borrow an old Circle Jerks album title for his next release.

“A Golden Shower Of Hits”

I’m not saying he doesnt have talent or he is a bad rapper, I’m just saying he is a douche bag.

shut up, internet nerds!

Its kind of like looking at a car accident. Also, I like to look at the comments by people who think hes a good rapper.

Kanye West is as boring as a dog’s ass. I’d like to shut him up for good.

Kanye West is as boring as a dog’s ass. I’d like to shup him up for good.

Ok, some people here don’t like Kanye West’s music. Everyone can have his own taste. One quiston: if you think he’s an idiot, why did you click on this link in the first place? To my oppinion he’s a good rapper and when his new album comes out, I’ll definitly take a listen.

Of or off……….way off!

if u don’t like kanye, get of his page!!

Sky Blue Sky dropped last week………get you some……..I am music!

i have all of his cds and he really is an over hyper douche bag. I think the talent is there, but anyone that has that much ego better be jimi f–ing hendrix. Dear Kanye, America hates people that dont get off there asses!

Kanye West is a douche bag!

To B207, too funny and so true.

You know what’s in Kanye’s puffy chipmunk cheeks? 50 Cent’s balls.

Kanye West is undeniable proof that the pop culture consumers in America have no taste whatsoever. His “music” is unlistenable.

Kanye West is actually one of the few hip hop artists who I can actually call an artist.

Christ you Americans are retarded

there was some news on here earlier today about Kanye “vibing ” with Madonna’s choreographer , but Kanye must have realized the beating he was taking on this site so it’s all changed now .it’s like”vibe” free man. nothing at all about dancing like Madonna.

look, i don’t see the point in bashing one another. comments on the article not on what the last guy said.

Great article, can’t wait. Kanye + Jon = KICKASS!

If you hate Kanye why would you want to read about his new album. To the moron who said “I think you mean AXL’ F**KIN ROSE.” I think you’ll find if young stan meant AXL” F**KIN ROSE (as you bravely called him) he would have written it on a different thread. Why don’t you accept some people like listening to what Kanye West has to say and how he says it while you like masturbating to a grown man wailing into a microphone.

kanye is a really overrated rapper, just compare 2pac to Kanye and then you will realize just how horrible Kanye really is…thats the truth…..

So Kevin are you saying Oasis cant play instruments??

kanye west is so overrated. George Bush hates black people. If Kurt Cobain said Jesse Jackson hates white people…wait He does…idiots

I remember when he first came out… so much hype. So I bought the cd. It was horrible. I mean really laughably bad. Cringe-worthy.
There are some artists (and I use that term lightly here) the industry just tries to push down the publics throat for whatever reason. Kanye West is one of those.

ICKY THUMP

ICKY THUMP

He produces and writes all of his albums with songs that have meaning? I think you mean AXL’ F**KIN ROSE.

Talentless? Um, he produces and writes all of his albums with songs that have meaning. You guys are feas.

Personally, I wouldn’t walk across my street to see this guy play if it was free. But to each his/her own.

Cheers

… people always find a way to hate…. get a job putos

Come on, kanye! Say something racially controversial in the presence of a white guy on camera again! I demand awkward silence following the bold statement and incredulous stares! I know, say something insulting about Falwell in the company of some religious nuts! Please? I’ll be your friend…

Last Registration was a piece of shit and College Dropout was strongest in the singles, no hope for this one besides the synth orgy.

kanye is a geek.

Kanye is where it’s at. I heard he’s also using two turn tables and a microphone on the new album.

kanye aint been shit since way back!!!!

bloody talentless hack.

hova who?
