Kanye West is one of the greatest music artists of ALL TIME

[Deleted_171835]

Okay, I was on a Kanye relisten music binge recently and it's become clear to me that Ye is one of the best artists OF THIS GENERATION. What other artist consistently reinvents himself every time he releases a new album. What artist is ABLE to release music that not only inspires but resonates with the people on a such a deep and personal level. What artist has contributed so much not just to hip-hop but to music as a whole.

I know a lot of you like to hate on Kanye because of his personality, his rants and his general persona as a whole but really who gives a shit when he gives us the music that he does. He's a genius. A genius in creating in music that transcends genres and becomes something else entirely.

Yeah. I really liked MBDTF.

I could not disagree with this topic more.

 

[Thirty3Three]

Oh god. Rap. Ew.

How about these fellows?

Bon Iver - Creature Fear


Damien Rice - The Professor & La Fille Danse



Or maybe some Frank Sinatra. You know. Good music c;
For those who know me, they know well that I'm incredibly obsessed with Damien Rice. He's fluent in over 6 languages, gives all (I mean ALL - he's lived on the street before while famous. He's super selfless and sings from the heart) his money to charity. He's the man.

Awwwww no no no, he's ok if you're into that type of things but he's far from one of the greatest artist, you can't even put him in the same category as the likes of The beatles, Elton John, Pink Floyd or someone in the same genre Michael Jackson. You need a real lesson young one

You need a real lesson young one

Fixed

It's ok guys, we're all well aware that soulx has shit taste in just about everything.

If his music is anything to go by... uh oh.

 

[Deleted_171835]

fyi, best of all time is a reference to this.

ye being one of the best of THIS GENERATION is most def the truth tho.

 

[Nathan Drake]

Is the EoF leaking? I think it's leaking.

 

[Foxi4]

fyi, best of all time is a reference to this.

ye being one of the best of this generation is a fact tho without a doubt.

Let me say it this way... Is Kanye any good in comparison to Miley Cyrus, One Direction or Justin Beiber? Yes. In comparison to other contemporary musicians? Erm... Yeah, still bottom of the barrel, but at least it's not in the mulch.

I really need to say this. I can't just let it slide...

You look nothing like Nathan Drake...

Au, contraire. They're all just terrible and neither is 'good in comparison'

One more plz lol

Now back to reality xD

Kanye West is talented, but as to saying he is the greatest? seems very inaccurate. I have two of his albums which is College dropout, and Late Registration, and those honestly were his best when he was at his prime. Now when I heard Yeezus, I never ever wanted to hear a song ever from him again. Kanye West is a genius, but all his rage on all of his shows make him look like a douche, which he isn't, hes just stressing out over stuff. Now as my favorite rappers, it would probably be

1. Kendrick Lamar
2. Logic
3. Childish Gambino
4. Jay Z
5. Kanye West

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Kanye? Really? O.o

I'd rather listen to Carter Burwell's music any day over Kanye's.

 

[Black-Ice]

J-Pop or gtfo.

 

[Foxi4]

Yeah, even "bad" has a gradation and I'm afraid that Kanye is a step higher than those three, however small that step might be - let's be objective here.

 

[B-Blue]

yeah i like a lot of kanye's songs. he's one of my favorite rappers next to dr. dre , common and jay-z

nice list of songs you got there soulx
here are a couple more
the good the bad the ugly
southside

too lazy to link sorry

 

[Thirty3Three]

J-Pop or gtfo.

You should probably take a seat next to SoulX

Okay, I guess I can agree with that. I should probably say that I hate rap more than any other genre, including pop, so maybe that's the cause? But yup. They're all just terrible.
