Most musicians have 'issues'. In fact its usually the best ones that have the worst of them. I'm not condoning Kanye's ego, all I care about is the music. He's a perfectionist can't knock em for that. He makes great music and you can't deny that either.

i didnt care much for kanye at first bc he talks to much about white people and that crap its time to get over that shit and just adds to racism in my opinion but overall he has skills and i like most of his stuff i like his new stuff more then past and havent heard albums yet but from songs on radio and knowing 50 cents shit always sounds the same just adds new words knew kaynes would be better

Yes it is. It is mainstream, I know, but yes it is rap/hip-hop.

Dont get me wrong I love my underground bay area music and listen to up and coming artist all day long, but I also keep an open mind and listen to EVERYTHING from (classical-rap) even mainstream. Put aside your likes and dislikes and just listen. Your ears can't deny good music

I dont care too much about the person outside of their music. If a artist is good at what he or she does thats all that matters to me. Besides everyone has some type of hang-up in one way or another right? As for my pick, from the little that I have heard from each LP, I would pick Kanye as well. Very good production, and his lyrics are written well. He has very good metaphors and punch lines. I also like his delivery better. Just my 2 cents...

Exactly. I could care less about him as a person. He is only famous for his music. lets talk music

I prefer Kanye over 50 any day. 50 is only good if Eminem is on the track with him and even then I fast forward through 50. His rapping never matches his beats IMO.

And who cares about Kanye's issues... its about the music not the person.

I know most of u arent gonna feel me, but I would much rather listen to what rappers like Kanye, Nas, Mos Def ,& Common are bringin to the table rather than most of the negative, meaningless, bs u hear on the radio nowadays...

I beleive thats based on the fact that thats a good club song. Catchy hook and basic beat. Sampled from a old Cassidy song.

Do you listen to rap? If you do listen to his new cd and try to forget how you fill about him personally, the cd is one of the best cd's i heard in a while.

And also kanye killed 50 on 106&park last night and had the whole crowd shouting his name when him a 50 came out together.

You obviously do not know your hip hop history, It is actually sampled from a group called audio 2 and the original name of the song is Top Billin

---

The hook is sampled from top billin, but the drums are ripped right off of Cassidys song too....


Now I support all types of music, including mainstream hip hop, but I get tired of all this nursery rhyme BS & songs being considered tight just because they bump in the club or on the radio.... The reason why these songs get so much play is because people dont know how to think for themselves & they only think something is hot if its on the radio or MTV etc....Most of this music thats out nowadays isnt gonna be considered timeless music like music of the past.....

Love the intro, Big brother, Flashng Lights, and Homecoming. Those are my favs so far.

Kanye really outdid himself with these beats. Its something else. A whole new addition to hip-hop.
