The people who say that Kanye is not Hip Hop do not have a healthy understanding of Hip Hop. Most people who talk about Hip Hop are talking about Rap. Africa Bambata’s track “Planet Rock” sampled a techo group and anyone who loves Hip Hop knows that. It’s time to grow up and face facts that their are a lot of rappers who are gay and pretending to be straight. The sad thing about the whole episode is that dudes like beanie Siegel will attack Kanye and work with a an alledged Child Rapist who tried to put one off his people in jail and sued his boss. Now that ain’t gangster and that ain’t smart especially since he turned around and said his still trying to get tracks from kanye. How you gonna listen to that dude, he must at best be confused and at worst disloyal. People need to grow up and realise most people who claim to be gangster’s are not. Even those who have had a history are dry snitching in interviews. Like Jay Z said the Rap game is like wrestling and if you believe everything you hear then more fool you. The Bottom line is the music is good or it’s garbage. Everyone is supposed to have their own style and swager, I respect Kanye for being man enough do him and not copy what the next man doing!

The crazy part is that this article referenced count them ONE Kanye song that used electronic (it is not “Techno”) based music as a board to sample from. It is not as though Kanye did an entire album of this sound. And to say that he is alienating his fanbase who knew him from old works with Jay-Z, College Dropout etc., that is their fault not his. You rap about your experiences not just what you did when you were a struggling artist. If he listens to rock music or alternative etc. then so be it and let that influence him partly, but to think he has abandoned hip hop is ridiculous. Is he singing like a rock singer? Are not his flows on Barry Bonds snappin’? WTF is “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”? Is that “techno” influenced? If anything he returns hip hop to the SOUL and not a simple 808 bassline and a snap or hard clap sound which gives you your Soulja Boy’s and Yung Joc’s of the world. This article was a waste of time. I hope he gets to the point where he can sell out stadiums, shit someone in hip hop needs to, plus he actually puts on a LIVE show and not just 100 niggas on stage with mics yelling and screaming with no tone or rhythm.
