Kanye West discussion - Page 16

Above all, Kanye won. Gone is his hottest seller on iTunes right now.

LMP · 10-03-2013, 02:43 AM

When I quit one of my jobs last week, I was too relieved to hear less Adam Levine to plan an elaborate dance exit.

Sometimes I think Complex is a lowkey Kanye fansite, but this list just dropped and look at #1 (#2 is also correct):

Best Rap Albums of Last 5 Years | Complex

And then there's #8 on this list of greatest albums of all time, above 36 Chambers and Illmatic (which is pushing it tbh):

Entertainment Weekly‘s 100 Greatest Albums Ever - Stereogum

And #353 here:

MBDTF is going down as a canon hip-hop classic. I think the only question at this point is whether it gets #1 on Pitchfork's best of '10s list or gets an honorary Super #1.

I quit my job the other week and got everyone pizza. Maybe I should have worn a Go-Pro and poured lighter fluid everywhere.

LemonMelon · 10-07-2013, 09:17 PM

Maybe so. Apparently that girl has already received a number of job offers from competitors.

I don't know why someone would hire a person willing to throw their company under the bus if it so served them, but apparently she has talent.

Yeezy will apparently appear on Jimmy Kimmel tomorrow night where we'll likely find out that their Twitter "feud" last week was a publicity stunt.

They both swear it wasn't:

Kanye West On Jimmy Kimmel Live (Full Interview) Part 2 of 2 - YouTube

Woooooowww Kanye is all over the place here. He felt like preaching tonight. Some quotes:

Jimmy: Do you really think I look like Spongebob?
Yeezy: Well, it's the first thing that came to mind, so, you know.

"No matter how many people tell me stop 'believing in yourself, stop saying what you can do, stop affirming what you’re gonna do and then completing that and then completing that in real life, that’s the improper way to do it.' I refuse to follow those rules that society has set up in the way that they control people with low self-esteem with improper information, with branding, with marketing. I refuse to follow those rules."

"So when I compare myself to Steve Jobs or Walt Disney, Howard Hughes, David Stern, Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, Jesus or whatever it is. I’m saying these are my heroes. These are people that I look up to. This is the type of impact I want to make on the earth."

"You're gonna love me, you're gonna hate me...but I'mma be me."

deep · 10-10-2013, 02:20 AM

yeah, all over the place

some of those places are; pompous, delusional, arrogant and idiotic

Quote:

"I want to shout out to stars of the Walk of Fame real quickly cuz they said something about they're not going to put my girl on the walk of fame because, you know, she's a reality star," West said. "It's like people are so, so dated...There's no way that Kim Kardashian shouldn't have a star on the Walk of Fame."

cobl04 · 10-10-2013, 08:46 AM

He got so worked up towards the end. I admire his passion.

PhilsFan · 10-10-2013, 10:11 AM

Wait, why is his accent completely different in this interview?

nielsgov · 10-10-2013, 04:08 PM

Just watched the interview. The last five minutes, holy shit.

There's no one like him.

cobl04 · 10-14-2013, 03:43 AM

You guys see this?

After 8 Years, Kanye West's "Gone" Debuts On Billboard Charts

His songs that have charted equal or higher - Through the Wire (15), Slow Jamz (1), All Falls Down (7), Jesus Walks (11), Gold Digger (1), Stronger (1), Good Life (7), Love Lockdown (3), Heartless (2), Runaway (12), Monster (18), All of the Lights (18), Otis (12), Niggas in Paris (5), Mercy (13), Clique (12).

Pretty remarkable.

bollox · 10-14-2013, 03:43 PM

It's cool that viral video is throwing the spotlight on an underexposed artist.

And it's easily one of the best songs in that group.

LMP · 10-15-2013, 02:04 AM

And if you ever flip sides like Anakin, you can take everything including the mannequin. Got a new bitch, now you Jennifer Aniston.

I knew that was wrong. I like Kanye's parts but not much else. The solo's nothing to write home about, Chief Keef is boring and Justin Vernon doesn't add much.

LMP · 10-15-2013, 04:06 AM
