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.

Indeed.

There is no one talented in pop right now.

If it weren't for intruding on Taylor Swift and boning Kim K. 95% of people wouldn't know or care about the bipolar SOB - and most don't anyhow. Once Kim K. is done with him his non-producing shelf life is very limited.

agreed, also, there's no such thing as bad publicity. Im glad to say Kayne who?

It's my understanding that Kanye West is some sort of rapper and I can honestly say that's about all I know about him.  I know I've heard the name before but couldn't name a single one of his songs.  Not sure why anyone should care about his apparent tantrums.

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.

Nobody disputes that he engages in a wide range of creative endeavours, nor that they are commercially successful, but that doesn't mean he warrants the title "genius". His music is mostly derivative, sampling other successful tunes and contributing little to nothing to them.

 

In my eyes he is a nobody, an arrogant and obnoxious influence that society could do without, and certainly not even close to being a genius.

Today I was reading the news and remembered your post. Kanye West has just been appointed to curate three pavilions of the Venice Bienalle, the most important art event in the world. Not everyone can be appointed with such task since a committee reunites every year to select a possible name from a list of intelectual, artists, critics and sociologists. Your talent and cultural pertinence has to be undisputed to be selected to task such honor.

 

Disregard the satire reaction the internet has having in the moment. The bienalle account itself announced the event.

 

Such an accomplishment for a nobody, huh? ;)

I'm not disputing that he is an incredibly successful individual who has made a large contribution to culture and music. I simply refute the notion that he is a "genius" when I listen to the drivel he spouts out in interviews or his derivative and unpleasant music. Genius denotes intelligence and Kayne West falls well short of that bar.

Genius denotes intelligence, indeed, but it rarely denotes emotional stability to fully articulate that intelligence. If you dont believe me read some books about Picasso or Dali.

I simply haven't seen any evidence that Kanye West is intelligent, let alone a genius. To me musical geniuses would be people like Elton John, Freddie Mercury or even someone as contemporary as Lady Gaga - intelligent people who act as positive role models and have undisputed songwriting capabilities. Kayne West isn't any of those things; in fact he's the polar opposite. I mean, next you'll be telling me than Snooki is a genius too!

Did you know that Gaga's best music was produced and written by both Kanye West and Alexander McQueen?

No I didn't, because it's not true. Kayne is not listed in the credits for any of her albums, as producer or songwriter - nor in the list of her recorded songs. And Alexander McQueen is a fashion designer who is referenced by Lady Gaga but wasn't involved in writing or producing her music. I honestly don't have a clue what you're talking about.  :s

blah blah

 

Dude, you've got a hard-on for him. We get it.

But the guy is a loser. Those 'achievements' you mention don't mean crap. You could get a hamster to do any of that. And being invited to 'curate' some art exhibits is done for publicity. Just shows how friggin shallow the world is. It would be easy to name heaps of other losers even more famous. Like Kardashian.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.

      These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
