I truly think Kanye West is a genius. However he gotta learn to control his emotions. Not easy task for someone who -I suspect- is maniac depressive.

 

Yeah I've seen him live and it was definitely in the top concerts I've seen.  He definitely knows how to put on a show to go with his music, but he does have issues and does act quite like a child sometimes.

This kid has more talent than Kanye:

 

You're just being ridiculous. Say all you want about his personality, indeed he is a though pill to swallow. However there's no one more talented in pop right now.

I wouldn't call him a genius or really that talented (the dude can't sing, he's an average rapper, great producer tho), but his motivation and determination is remarkable, he's truly inspiring in a way. He's definitely one of the most interesting people to come out of the hip hop scene, his ego is both admirable and despicable at the same time. I guess in a way he truly is a work of art, but that doesn't change the fact his music mostly comes off as mediocrity with flashes of genius.

I strongly disagree. Lady Gaga has way more artistic credibility and musical talent (if you're limiting the scope to pop). Kanye West is very talented at marketing himself but I think his music is terrible and his personality obnoxious.

We must have differing definitions for the word "genius," as there is probably no amount of evidence in the world that would convince me of that. If people like him and his music then that's fine, but you'll have a hard time getting me to see him as a genius.

As for his personality...well, "cry-baby" "attention seeker" and "egotistical" are words that flashed through my head the moment I read his name. And his tweets as well as the interview he gave on Radio 1 just solidified those descriptions for me.

Art curator, fashion designer, industrial designer, graphic designer, great music producer, fantastic music composer and lyricist and even have directed a couple of short films witch have been presented at art galleries. So yes, to me, that's what a genius do.

 

What happens is that in our prude civilization we think is wrong that someone has an ego like his. We reject people like that because of our own insecurities.

I think it's when his ego gets so inflated and he starts hurting others is when people start taking issues with him. Like I said, I honestly find him inspiring, but having read the tweets, there was no need to go that low with the insults he threw at Kimmel, especially over a joke.

Who have been hurt by him besides (maybe) Taylor Swift? Honestly.

You mean to tell me this person is a musician of some type? I've heard the name before, but that's all.

 

Can't be to talented if he doesn't even know how to spell his name correctly! Is that really Kanye, or is it supposed to be Kayne?

 

Another non talent that I couldn't care less about! :x

Well you can say that it's due to our prudish society if you like, but all I know is that someone egotistical like that comes across as an obnoxious ###### to me and I don't want to associate with them.

I admire his perseverance and effort in getting to where he is today, but I can admire those qualities while still being given the impression that he's an ######.

I just think people are overreading it and taking it way too seriously. Kanye should have lightened up and realized it was a joke. This only makes him look like a douchebag.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      By WaltC · Posted

      (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.
