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

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.
