mmm, maybe wrong choice of words. His music doesn't appeal to me, but not much pop music does. It probably has less to do with him lacking skill, and more to do with me having conflicting tastes in what good music is.
His production is on point, just isn't my taste - it all feels very plasticky and soulless. His lyrics are typical pop music fluff, but I am sure that's what he's going for because that's what sells. I guess thats what I meant by he's a better businessman than musician. But all of that can be argued about until the cows come home since art is subjective. the only song I really liked of his was gold digger.. but I think that had more to do with me just being a fan of the Ray Charles sample and less to do with Kanye. |

Maybe 'irony' by its self was not the best solo word to use... I should of fit in hypocrite in there, but then again that doesn't really fit either? Face it Kanye is such a confusing ball of ego and drama, that any word in the dictionary could be used to describe him.
The big picture is not irony, but I do find it ironic how after dissing a video justice did in 2006, Kanye than gets a same director of Justice's video in 2007. Last year you dist their video and this year your getting the same director. No the videos are not connected in an ironic way, but the relationship Kanye has with Justice's video history is. And for those of you who never bothered to look up ironic in a dictionary because you memorized Alanis Morsette's song "ironic": Irony: irony - Definitions from Dictionary.com 1.the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend. 2.Literature. a.a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated. b.(esp. in contemporary writing) a manner of organizing a work so as to give full expression to contradictory or complementary impulses, attitudes, etc., esp. as a means of indicating detachment from a subject, theme, or emotion. 3.Socratic irony. 4.dramatic irony. 5.an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected. 6.the incongruity of this. 7.an objectively sardonic style of speech or writing. 8.an objectively or humorously sardonic utterance, disposition, quality, etc. Last edited by R Wellbelove; Oct 29, 07 at 11:45 PM. |

But than I dont completely see hypocracy or oppourtunist? I don't think there is a one solid answer to really describe this senareo or comparison... Many see my point and than many have seen a whole different issue with comparing the videos. Overall I think it's just kinda interesting with what has all gone on. Your thoughts? |

big fat MEH on Kanye West. His voice annoys the hell out of me, his attitude is even worse, and his need to create stupid phony beef to sell albums makes him no different than 50 cent in my mind.
don't get me wrong, there is tons of commercial rap artists that have had drama in their time that I love..I'm just not feeling kanye. Not feeling his flow, or his lyrics, or whatever hot artist of the week he's sampled in his newest beat (but I'm so out of the loop I've never even HEARD justice..) New wu album is dropping soon. Now THAT is hot. but to each their own. |

lol, I got bad karma for this. Let me correct it...
The difference is that Puff Daddy (or Diddy, or Donkey, or whatever he's going by these days) models his persona after Donald Trump, while Kanye seems to base his style and persona on your average pompous, 20-something trendy hipster prick. |
