My old man has epilepsy, and now I do to.

Thanks Kanye.

Rihanna is quickly becoming my favourit popstar...all she needs to do now is release a sexy video in spandex to overtake beyonce and shakira

Well, he recently did an album with Jay Z and even more recently showed up at the Occupy movement, but music wise I have no idea. He better be doing something though. His last album was absolutely brilliant, every single track on it.

Taking a 15 year hiatus, hopefully.

I'm glad this has all come out now, it could have been a messy breakup.

Agree with you. M.D.B.T.F was brilliant IMO.

Worst has to be 808 & Heartbreaks.

Danyaals Kop · « **Reply #172 on:** November 18, 2011, 04:03:32 pm »

Only 1 or 2 decent tracks on that.

Weird, I was just going to bump a Kanye West thread asking the same thing. Hes boss. Hes a prick but couldn't give a shit about his personality, he has made countless brilliant tracks.

Yeah, but when you look at the quality of his other albums that doesn't mean much. Even in that album he had some really good tracks like paranoid, love lockdown, amazing and heartless.

Bored to hell with most of these pop-hop so called rappers that plague my reality.
There you go Kanye.

1) Graduation
2) My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
3) The College Drop out
4) Late Registration
5) 808 and Heartbreaks

That too when I consider Late Registration at good 8/10.

I honestly don't think he's that much of an asshole. He likes to make fun of himself. Everyone got really mad because of the Swift thing.

Releasing another album in 2012 i've heard! He's been working on trying to get his G.O.O.D music artist careers up and running.

Anywhichwayicant · « **Reply #180 on:** November 18, 2011, 04:10:54 pm »

Does he have any songs where he just sings/raps?

Coolie High · « **Reply #182 on:** November 18, 2011, 04:11:51 pm »

As a producer he is one of the best, but very overrated as a rapper imo.

I mainly started thinking it after the first time I saw him live, he just came across as an asshole when he started talking to the audience every 3 or 4 songs. Not sure why, he just gave off an asshole vibe. Some of the interviews I've seen with him he's just given off the same vibe. The show itself was brilliant though and I've seen him twice more since. I actually thought the Swift thing was kind of funny, harsh and unnecessary, but funny. There are plenty of artists/bands who I dont think much of as people but I'll buy their music and go to their shows regardless as long as I like their music. I could listen to his music over and over again.

He only really used autotune in 808's&Heartbreak. I mean maybe in some other parts of other albums (not sure) but definitely not enough to get annoyed at. But then again didn't see why people were so annoyed at his use of autotune in 808, I mean, it's not like he's making a career over properly singing. He was trying something different and it didn't work out as well as his other albums, but it wasn't anything to complain about. Listen to My beautiful dark twisted fantasy, it's completely different from 808.

edit: just realised there's autotune in lost in the world, but don't worry he's not trying to prove he can sing.

Never seen one of his shows so can't comment on how he is then, but during interviews yes he's a bit of an asshole. But I feel like he thinks he's some kind of tormented genius and you know why not. If that's what helps him produce these songs... The Swift thing was hilarious. I agree, MBDTF is just amazing, still not tired of it.

I enjoyed The College Dropout. Everything went downhill after that for me.

So to summarize..........we should get married.

You didn't think Graduation and Late registation were good albums? His last one was class aswell.

Didn't think a great deal of Late Registration or Graduation. Both have some good songs but as overall albums I wasn't too overjoyed with them.

808's and Heartbreaks was an atrocious album, utterly woeful. Dreadful from start to finish.

Haven't listened to the latest one.
