Kayne West might have an ego the size of North America, but you cannot deny his talent. I’ve had the privilege, and yes I say privilege, to attend a Kayne West concert, and can that man put on one hell of a show. No matter what, his talent is what this comes down to. Have you had the success that he has? Can you pump out hit record after hit record? And if you could, wouldnt you have an ego too? Whether or not you like his music, or the artist in general… remember 2 things… 1) he is an artist… and no matter what kind of art (I, personally am an art dealer (paintings, scultures ect) most artists are odd ducks! 2) He took the “Im gonna kill this b***h” or “Let’s go f**k that n****r up” out of hip hop (atleast his music…) And for that, I am greatful.

So give Kanye a break. Let him be the artist he is because whether you like it or not, he’s going to be around for a long time.

So, did anyone else see on the cover that it’s been 15 years since the death of Kurt Cobain? That was half my life ago, and just seeing this cover made me recall how young and sad and angry I was about it (and other stuff in my life). Kanye West is annoying – I’d rather talk about Kurt.

Here’s what sad and crazy… all this narcissistic craziness is WORKING. He has fans (see schmee and others above, par example), and he continues to be famous with all of his ass-ness.

Put on the airs of being famous, cool, etc, and people will believe you. It’s the George W theory.

Ummm yeah I’ve heard Kanye’s music and it is seriously not as amazing as he is trying to make it out to be. Am I the only one who sees what a self-centered asshole this guy is?

Oh. My. God. This guy is ridiculous. I for one think that if you are that arrogant, your music doesnt matter anyway because you suck at life. KANYE. YOU ARE NOT THAT GREAT. GET OVER YOURSELF. God I hate him so much.

This man never ceases to amaze me, really. It’s like whenever they put a reporter or a mic in front of him and tell him to do something besides rap this is what you get. It sort of reminds me of his awards show acceptance speeches when he in a round-about way basically says of course he won because he is the end-all-be-all in music. duh. While there are some of his songs I will admit I love (Goldigger and Good Life are my favs) I think he is ‘aight. He’s no Jay-Z. Definitely no Biggie. But he is entertaining.

Keep doing yo thing Kanye… sooner or later your head may actually double in size!!

Kanye West needs to shut his mouth. I mean, sure, the guy is totally talented but it’s not attractive to eyes or ears when he brags about being the best artist ever. It is totally mediocre. His last album he released is his lowest selling one to date. The way he bitches about everything is just so… lame. Get over it and yourself.

I agree sarahjessicamaybe – I give him credit for being original …

I don’t know if he’s gay, so much as bi-polar … mood swings, manic episodes, grandious ideas about himself, OCD to do with clothes. When I saw pictures of inside his house (with his then girlfriend) you could tell something was up, just from looking at the decor – he had these perfect piles of L.V. suitcases around the house!

Honestly… this dude is going through a lot in my opinion… and therapeutically channeling his energy in a direction that has never been done before… To me he just wants to be different besides being GAY, we live a society that clones are made for entertainment purposes, in other words gaining incremental revenues by a certain cliché “look” who is going to be the next- Michael Jackson, the next Whitney Houston, the next Beatles, the next Jordan, the next Tupac… If Kanye West decides to venture his creativity to the farthest extreme, by being the first and only GAY Loving rapper then by all means do so… but people let’s not be taken on a journey … at the end of the day… ART turns into CASH BABY!

I can’t help it, I love me some Kanye! He cracks me up. I’m not a huge hip-hop fan but the reason I originally became a fan of his is because I saw this interview he did where he said he loves Fiona Apple and after hearing her second album, he found out who produced the record (Jon Brion) and asked him if he would produce his next record. Something about that just struck me as so cool. Most people can’t think outside of the box like that and I think even though Kanye fronts like he has this big ego, he’s really just a big music lover who wants to make great music. I relate to that part of him. He gets excited about music and collaborations and I think he has a lot of respect for his peers personally. As much as he goes on about how great he is, he also is always giving props to other artists and people that he likes and admires.

In that same interview, he talked about how homophobic rap music is and that was another thing I really appreciated about him. I thought that took balls to say that to his fellow rappers in the industry. A few weeks later is when the whole “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” incident happened and that cemented my love for him forever, ha ha. This is all before I had ever heard one song by him.

I may not always agree with him but I appreciate that he speaks his mind and isn’t always PC. He’s funny and more importantly, he’s interesting. Plus he’s really talented to boot. He adds something great to every collaboration that I’ve heard so far, Estelle of course, Maroon 5, Madonna etc.

So bottom line, I dig him!

@ Schmee – thats my thought about it too

I think he is full of himself, and that he is NOT g*d’s gift to this world, sorry! There have been millions of talented artists who didn’t go on and on about how awesome they are….those are the ones I tend to have more respect for…

Before everyone gets all huffy about Kayne and his ideas about the gays, remember hes not speaking to people that already know and like gays. He’s talking to those people in hiphop culture that think “gay” is the worst thing you can call someone. Gotta start somewhere

I kind of like Mr West

“Nor does he ever plan to” go to a gay bar. GOOD, Kanye. Don’t show up. We don’t want to listen to your lame ass rants nonstop. This douche messes everything he touches, ie Madonna’s Hard Candy.. TRENT, he said he never plans to visit a gay bar. Umm, if he can’t even be comfy in his own straight skin to go to a gay bar, then he does indeed have more issues than we though. I don’t care if he thinks were dope; I think he’s a dope who has a head with more air than a pair of Michelin tires!

I feel that his heart is in the right place, too, but…he’s still the cockiest son of a bitch in the business.

I don’t know why he considers himself to be so cool.
