/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

My girlfriend absolutely hates Kanye West. According to her:
>is yet another black man who praises light skinned women and white women
>is the exact same as every other Hollywood "artist", with his eccentricity, giant ego, etc.
>makes annoying music, often with lyrics about either crude sex or about how great he is
>is both a terrible person and a terrible artist

How accurate is this? I just want to argue back.

ITT: artists that you hate with a passion.

When the history of 3rd Millennium art is written, Kanye West will be considered a very, very important cultural phenomenon, not just of music but philosophy. Kanye is the greatest purveyor of philosophy to date.

>Aristotle: “A friend to all is a friend to none.”
Kanye: Keep your love locked down.

>Timothy Leary: “Think for yourself and question authority.”
Kanye: Say fuck the police. That's how I treat em.

>Karl Marx: “Social progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex.”
Kanye: No one man should have all that power.

>Rousseau: “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.”
Kanye: My chain heavy. Yeah my chain heavy.

>Thoreau: “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.”
Kanye: I went to Jacob with 25 thou before I had a house and I'd do it again. Cause I wanna be on 106 and park pushing a Benz.

>Plato: “The madness of love is the greatest of heaven’s blessings.”
Kanye: If we die in each other's arms, still get laid in that afterlife.

>Ludwig Wittgenstein: “What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence.”
Kanye: Excuse me, was I saying something? Uh uh you can't tell me nothing.

>Martin Luther: “For where God built a church, there the devil would also build a chapel.”
Kanye: But you done learned a lot from Satan

>Oliver Wendell Holmes: “One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.”
Kanye: My head is so big you can't sit behind me.

Basically Mr. West condenses 3 millennia of philosophy down to a few verses.

If you can't appreciate that you're frankly a molester of the arts.

let's have an thread about mozart of our generation
discuss his music, fashion and his genius

daily reminder that kanye is the greatest musician that ever existed

yep

Is there just one big inside joke with this mans career and the praise he receives? People are actually thinking he's some significant and influential artist, even going so far as to say Drake albums and GKMC wouldn't exist without him. I know he's produced many different rap songs, but then again so has Pharrell and others. What makes him so special? He hasn't done anything to completely change the landscape of rap. People say he put an end to gangster rap and started this sing/rap phenomenon but that's just not true seeing as Lil Wayne and 50 cent were the most popular rappers of the mid to late 2000s. And you still have many different gangster rappers in the mainstream like Rick Ross, Waka Flocka, Chief Keef etc. Also Outkast and many others were sing/rapping well before him. It's like there's this powerful manipulator behind the scenes manufacturing his alleged accolades to make him seem more important than he is, like they need to have that one artist that's the driving force of the music industry at the moment, but it just didn't happen naturally like, for example, Nirvana. Also MBDTF was just a decent pop/rap album that seemed to have been overhyped at the time because it was released after his media backlash. Songs like monster, so appalled, blame game, all of the lights, etc. are ok, but enough to support its status as the "landmark album of the decade"? Really.. Yeezus is a much better album, but even that doesn't deserve the insane amount of praise it gets. So like I was saying, is it all just a big joke? Do you think him and executives get together with major music publications and laugh at how gullible everybody is?

Yeezy is best experimental hip hop
