Ummmm, no they haven't...hence our talking about Kanye right now. It actually seems that a good number of people feel Kanye is worthy of being in the discussion. I'll say that I'm one of those people, by the way.
Dude, you're the one who asked to have him removed from the discussion.
It seems a bit silly and arbitrary to say that the artist of the decade has to be a hip hop artist.
No, it's not. It's based on what music, in general, ruled the decade.
Frankly, if Coldplay and/or Radiohead (to a lesser extent) is the "best" the rock genre has to offer....well that imo adds even more weight to my statement that the artist would most appropriately be hip hop.
I always laugh when Bono says that U2 was the number one band in a decade (the 80s) of really bad music so he's not sure how much of a compliment that is. I think that applies to the 00s far more appropriately, but then again I think the 80s were brilliant.
