Kanye West In GQ
He sold half a million copies of his latest album, Graduation, in a day (leaving 50 Cent in the dust), has been showered with critical accolades, and has cemented his status as a musical icon. But Kanye West still doesn’t think he’s getting his due. He’s right

November 26th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
half a mill in a day is crazy numbers. He makes good music but he aint one of the greatest yet he has a long way to go.

I dont think Kanye should be call a musical genius yet. He’s definitely not in the same league as Marvin, Micheal, and Prince. Maybe a talented artist with alot of potential but certainly not a musical genius.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
musical genius when it comes to production.
over rated when it comes to rapping.
and im still waiting for my fucking gq mag. they be taking forever

November 26th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
NOW QUESTION!
ARE WE GONNA CONSIDER KANYE WEST THA BEST PRODUCER B/C HE CAN MAKE A HIT OFF OF HIS OWN SHIT?? OR ARE WE GONNA SAY HE ISN’T B/C HES SAMPLING OTHER PPLS SHIT WHEN THERE ARE ARTIST LIKE SKATEBOARD P WHO START THEIR OWN RECORD FROM SCRATCH NOW BEFORE ANYBODY GETS MAD I SEEN THIS ON ANOTHER SITE AND SAID LETS GET SOME HIP HOP GOING…
November 26th, 2007 at 4:59 pm
skateboard p, does a lil bit of sampling himself its not like kanye is the only dude that samples. sum of his beats come from scratch too.
kanye gets a lil credit for making people recognize common in the mainstream media. his ship seemed to be sinking fast b4 kanye hooked up wit him.
kanye is one real rapper in a land of make believe where nobody lives what they talk, or talk what they are living, kanye gives u what he see,lives, and feels honestly and thats all hiphop fans really want

Kanye West is far from a genius. and to say he doesn’t get his props is ridiculous. how much more on his dick can one be. every time you turn around you hear and see him…wtf else. he always bitching about not getting respect.
November 26th, 2007 at 6:59 pm

Kanye has a fake chin

# 10 I agree dude is very blunt, and the most politically incorrect cat in the game. Dude says what he means and means what he says. Cats can hate on his lyrics all they won’t, but you can’t deny he is very honest with his music. In an age where being gangsta is the thing to be. He has managed to be himself and still sell records without the gangsterism. So I got to respect that.
November 27th, 2007 at 6:37 am
U HAVE TO LOVE KANYE…HE HAS SO MUCH HEART. BEFORE WE LIKED HIM, HE WAS HIS BIGGEST FAN AND MADE US BELIEVE! I LUV THAT HE IS SO CONFIDENT. ALTHOUGH HE DOES ACT LIKE HE HAS ADD SOMETIME, HE IS JUST PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS SHIT! U HAVE TO RESPECT IT. HIS MUSIC IS GENIUS. IT COVERS SO MANY LEVELS,GENRE’S AND FANS……LUV U KANYE’

looks like a “Gold Digger” photo shoot
November 27th, 2007 at 10:02 am
yall have 2 give credit where credit is do that nigga is one of the best producers and lyricist even if u dont like him yall cant deny he says what other niggas are scared to say or say out in the public he means what he say and say what he means and every producer samples thats not a big deal at the end of the day kanye is a real artist hes not watered down like alot of rappers and he didnt come out trying to be a gangsta like 90 percent of the rappers do even though he was brought up around that kind of element in his neighborhood so waht would u rather have a bunch of fake gangsta talking about bustin glocks and cuttin bricks when their living in million dollar mansions or niggas keepin it real talk like kanye, common, and mos def just like biggie and pac were its more to life then the block hoes and cars ya dig

50 JUST WON BEST SELLING RAP ARTIST IN THE WORLD BY THE WORLD MUSIC AWARDS. HATER KEEP FOOLING YOURSELVE. KANYE WILL MAYBE FOR 2MIL AND THE US AND WILL BE LUCKY IF HE TOTALS 1 MILL IN THE REST OF THE WORLD
November 27th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
wow… i never seen realtalk post a article about someone saying anything negative about kanye.. but anyway did anyone notice how tight his jeans are or is it that people are so used to it that its ok now.. and another thing.. kanye west is a sampling king.. he is not one of the best producers like timbaland and pharell and Dr. dre.. they can actually make a beat.. kanye samples EVERYTHING he does.. not 1 song, not 2 songs, EVERYTHING.. like krs one said..” these new producers are keeping up w/the great ones by pressing a few buttons.. kanye is overrated and not hip hop

#22 - That’s whassup. 90% of his work is stolen and you guys don’t think that’s wrong? From his lyrics and definitely production (ask the top producer in Chi-Town who everyone says is better than Kanye), if he’s not sampling, he’s stealing someone’s production and lyrics. If you pay attention, you can see/hear it clear as day without deeply investigating.
I think he’s gotten his due and then some. Kanye has the biggest ego going since 50 and is going to catch the biggest “L” like 50. I’m sick of him being considered a “rapper” - like KRS-1 said, “Kanye’s not hip hop.” He’s not. He’s an artist - it’s a difference. Jay knows that too and that’s why he said “50 didn’t have a chance because 50 didn’t realize that Kanye is an artist.” Jay was saying how seriously he took his music, but I’m saying he’s not rap, he’s “pap”. “Pap” is “Pop Rap”. Rappers will never have a chance in a category against people like him, BEP and now Common (who’s more hip hop than the others). 50’s the one that’s not getting his due. He did all what Kanye did (early 50), but from a gutter street perspective. The problem is that “rap” will never sell, but water it down to music like Kanye and you’re the biggest thing since sliced bread. I’m not investing my time in “Pap”. I’m investing my time in “Rap”.
He comes off as a passionate person - whatever - but the passion stems from his ego. He can’t stand to lose and he thinks he’s better than every rapper out. He doesn’t even respect rap or rappers. He said himself he can only be compared to Justin Timberlake (another overrated asshole) and ya’ll are commending this dude? Whites are working overtime making sure albums and singles get “leaked” to cut sales because they’re trying to rid the world of our style of music because it’s the hottest music.
Keep upholding Kanye and he will be the KOHH and can you picture “rap” then?
Fuck Kanye with his PAP ass.

Also, he’s not the only blunt person. 50 and Jay are very blunt. The only time Jay’s generic in an answer if it’s related to his personal life, but he’s even been addressing that. Jay got the label of being arrogant because of the blunt shit he says. No one can say 50 isn’t blunt. Ye looked scared when he was on 106 & Park just sitting next to 50 who dominated his convo then.
Fuck Kanye and his PAP ass.
November 28th, 2007 at 7:23 pm
