That fucking song Stronger by Kanye West pisses me off so much

[OssMan]

Because the entire thing is a just a giant Daft Punk sample and it gets labeled as a Kanye West song or "Kanye West featuring Daft Punk," also I fucking hate Kanye West for just being a pretentious hype-machine

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Cool man

[Indifferent Clox]

Kanye West gets a lot of hate, but he's a pretty good producer and better than most radio rap.

[Bad Company]

Kanye West is a Giant Vagina.

[IC Champion]

Kanye West is good, I don't get why your hating on him because he sampled a song by some group from the 80's no one knows. You should be hating on gimmick rappers like 50 Cent and Eminem.

[Bad Company]

Or just hate on him because he is a huge douche, with no balls.

[ct2k]

No frills, loadsa samples and catchy hooks...I dunno, I don't think he pulls any punches or tries to be something he's not. He's hardly my favourite artist and I wouldn't buy one of his albums but still, very listenable imo:-\

Around the world around the world around the world around the world

lol the 80s?

[El Fangel]

I hate Rihanna. I would fuck the hell out her mind, but I hate her.

[ron the dial]

kanye west is fail.

[El Fangel]

kanye west is fail.

Agreed, the fucker was lucky enough to open for the stones.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Kanye's first two cds are excellent. His third was mediocre. Still, he's one of the most talented rappers going today.

[Downunder]

I'd like Kanye better if he wasn't such a whiney pussy

[ct2k]

I'd like Kanye better if he wasn't black

[.44 Magdalene]

I have to say I agree. I have to.




Because God dammit I hate Kanye West.


Most of the good in that song is from Daft Punk, but his shit-eating fanbase have no idea who "Kanye West's DJs" actually are. The video's just a big "homage" to Akira, which again, his fanbase doesn't generally understand because--hold onto something:




RAP FANS ARE USUALLY NOT FANS OF ANIME AND/OR TECHNO.



He plays it off like he's catering to multiple crowds, but those crowds don't mix. People that get the references and grasp the sampling don't like Kanye West, and visa versa. The result is that Kanye West gets a bunch of free "inspiration" and the people that are buying his CDs just think he's some sort of genius. He's not even that great of a rapper. He's alright, I guess, compared to alot of radio rappers, but it's not like that's saying much. The fact is that he's quickly turning into the same "gimmick rapper" type that everybody keeps defending him as not being.

It would help if he'd shut the fuck up once in a while.

[.44 Magdalene]

I won't knock his abilities as a producer, as the guy's got alot of shit under his belt.... but fuck a dog in the ass, I fucking hate that god damn song a;djfk;ja;fja.

[Downunder]

I'd like Kanye better if he wasn't a nigger

[The Mask]

you've turned into a bit of a whiny teenage bastard, assman.

[Kris P Lettus]

I have to say I agree. I have to.

Most of my buddies from highschool, who like Anime, are black, for the record..

[Downunder]

Anime is pretty terrible tbh

[El Capitano Gatisto]

I hate Daft Punk and that song is shit. Rap music and Daft fucking Punk together in one track is like someone puked inside an arsehole.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Lupe Fiasco > Kanye West

[Blitz]

Stima's got it.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Just purchased the Lupe Fiasco CD off iTunes w/ my giftcard

[tman220]

just cuz Kanye is one of the biggest artists out right now and he's better than your favorite artist doesn't mean you have to hate. And it's not entirely a Draft Punk sample. He put synths and other instrument over it. Unless you know how the process went to make that song you really have no reason to say its one big Draft Punk sample. Almost all of his songs are sampled but do you hear people bitching about that? No. Why? because his single finally got so big that it gives people like you a reason to hate.

[El Fangel]

Have to agree with ya here.

[tman220]

you're comment makes me laugh. You're right Kanye doesn't know what the hell he's doing. The single was only #1 in the US and other countries. It also helped him sell over 957,000 in the first week and now is over 2x platinum. Sorry the song isn't like everythng out on the radio right now. But just so you know Kanye has built his ENTIRE career with people like you putting him down and trying to find reasons to criticize him. Keep it up, his next cd will be even better with another Album of the Year Grammy nom

[ron the dial]

lol come on tman

and yeah stima got it right

[.44 Magdalene]

Most of my buddies from highschool, who like Anime, are black, for the record..

:( But I can't tell when you're being honest or just trying to bust my chops anymore, Mr. Lettus.

[.44 Magdalene]

Also, repped Stima for gettin' it right.

LOL

[.44 Magdalene]

Imagine running into that almost daily on one forum or another, or in real life... and you'll understand why I hate Kanye West.

[St. Jimmy]

Kayne West is a pile of shit, just like his Genres of music.

[Kris P Lettus]

:( But I can't tell when you're being honest or just trying to bust my chops anymore, Mr. Lettus.

I was serious about black people liking Anime..

[.44 Magdalene]

I was serious about black people liking Anime..

I could make a comment about black people not automatically being rap fans, but it'd just go downhill from there.

Summarized for futility: I don't think that situation is the standard one.

[gatoconbotas]

Kanye West is the anti-Christ.
He is here to destroy our minds and eat our souls.
I.Hate.Him.

[Jeritron]

Kanye is great

[WestNZ]

Kanye West is a Giant Vagina.

Not only do i hate the bloody song, i HATE Kanye full stop. He should be dropped from a height of 33 miles into a flaming pile of monkey crap

[Requiem]

Pretty much hate Kanye. On the other hand, Daft Punk is alright and this video is pretty great.

I don't think Kanye West is really trying to appeal to 'rap fans' but to fans of music as a whole. Which is why I like him better than most mainstream rap.

He is able to mix fluidly two styles.

But that's just my opinion.

[.44 Magdalene]

Except that he's not and he generally fails. :| You can't really appeal to non-rap fans with rap, and he's not really doing anything that plenty of other rap artists aren't doing: talking about stupid shit while other peoples' music plays in the background. Eminem did it, Notorious did it... fuck, MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice did it. What he does is the definition of mainstream rap. That's how alot of rap gets mainstream is by tacking on shit that people who can't relate can actually relate to. I sure as fuck don't know many techno fans that got their jollies off on this song, though, and if this thread is any hint, people that don't like techno aren't too excited about it either. He's not reeling in any crowds that wouldn't normally be all over this shit, and even alot of mainstream rap fans are passing on this one. I haven't met any real fans of this that didn't come off as totally delusional.
