Kanye West, the good & the bad.

The Good:

I can't get enough of this song, does anyone else agree that this is his best song yet?


I know this is quite old, but has anyone watched the Runaway video from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy? It's about 35 minutes long and is a mash up of all the songs on the album. It's actually really cool with awesome production value.


The Bad:

Oh my god he's a douche, i can't believe he kicked out this person from his show for a throwing a business card up on stage. And he actually threatened to throw all the people from the direction it came from, until the person who threw it owned up. Because.. he might slip on the card what a moron.

That song Heartless is amazing.

He's such a fucking douche I can't take anything he does seriously and actively avoid listening to his music

I hope he's trolling, but I doubt it...

Such a mean tune.

"I was thinking about my funeral a couple of days ago," West said.

"The people I want to be there are like world leaders. Ones that say, 'Kanye gave me my first shot, he told me to believe in myself'."

unbelievable.

Kanye is a fkn genius and I don't give a fuck if he's a douche

yeah I agree.. not sure about genius.. but he does make phat beats which I like.

Kayne is a fkn douche and I don't give a fuck if he's a "genius"



Sweet, if that's his best song yet, I'm glad to know I haven't been missing a damn thing



Christ, how fucking high? Real fucking high

This. He has created some of the greatest music in the 21st century....


....but I wouldn't invite him around for dinner.

Yeah, that's not too bad really...still just not really my thing tho

broken beat > hip pop

He's not my thing at all, but I'd agree he knows his shit. I'd put him in the same basket as Steve Jobs. An absolute genius who is also a complete cunt.

< insert joke about a year using the phone to call you and wanting something >

ummmm what???

Classic gags

Classic.

Lets have a toast to the douchebags!

So anyone got any comments on devil or the runaway video?

Does Kayne have a ghost producer?

I've always wondered, from memory he is credited with all production.

HUGE fan of both.

I think that runaway video is one of the greatest things I've ever seen

I like both.

Also, this.

Oh I love that album. I'd gone off him a bit with his last album but on first listen of Fantasy I fell for it straight away. Fuckin genius album.

Kanye directed that Runaway clip too.

Yes J Dilla is his producer.

Nah, he works with a few different producers as well but they always get credited.

Yeah agree!

Interesting he directed it too, as he did a good job! although i guess it wouldn't be hard to create complimentary vision along with music you have written and is already in your head.

I love long music videos like that, they're perfect for when you cbf watching a movie, but too bored to just lie and listen to music.

Can't view this on my office comp, will look at it when i'm in my editing suite.

Well I got it

Everytime I've watched it I've spotted a new celeb I missed before...so damn cool!

Yeah that's a good one too Insanity

This brings me to my next question.

What was everyones thoughts on Watch the Throne?

I thought it was good... but (except for 3 or 4 songs) a bit of a let down. No where as good as their solo albums.

Biggest missed opportunity in internet history right here.

Gutted I just saw it, too late now.
