Hip hop fans, do you think Kayne West is a douchebag?

[myway]

That's the only song of his I like.

Then again , I think it was Luke Skywalker that was the first to be "Banned in the USA"

 

[dullboy]

ok.

sorry you didnt like it.

who do you like better, justin timberlake or kayne west?

 

[dullboy]

dullboy is loathe to say it, but most of the better and certainly more creative rap / hip hop is being produced in the United Kingdom right now.

He's pretty much a douche bag, yes. I imagine he puts on a hell of a show though - he's got some energy.

I just have NO respect for someone who tries to create a facade of a "struggle" and a "fight against the man" in order to show value. It's cheap, boring and has been done 100 times over. He is boring. He does not have an ego - he is palying a role that white 25yo's are buying RIGHT into.

I got a question

How many of yall dissin' Kanye West actually follow rap music ??

Seems to be alot of hersay and backseat driving on this thread...

You want to school me on REAL hip hop - go for it. Check out my thread I made this morning in the Music forum. It's a 55 minute mix of some of the best artists out there that you have never heard of.

Body Count was the shit!!! lol

Who cares if he is from the hood? Creative license is the name of the game. Stephen King didn't actually have anyone kill everyone at his prom with telepathy. Man O War (I threw that in for Samoth) hasn't actually disemboweled anyone. Nellie Furtado isn't actually "like a bird." lol. Who gives a shit?

Go grab a manatee burger and chill.

Go grab a manatee burger and chill.

I have no idea what the hell you are talking about unless you are talking about actually killing a manatee to make a burger and chili. I don't get all up in arms about people talking about killing animals when they are joking. You must have confused me with someone else. LOL. Perhaps you are talking about manatee county, where I live. Who knows. You are babbling, now.

Random, but I was just talking to a friend of mine (she's black) about the Dave Chappelle block party concert and how it would be my ideal concert to see, but it's filled with reverse racism and anti-white sentiments. She was laughing at all the white kids that leave messages for Dead Prez on their myspace page, calling them dumb, wondering if they even listen to the lyrics. (and PLEASE, do not come in here and say it is not reverse racism. their lyrics are blatant.) Sucks, cause I love the beats and skills from most of those guys (Talib, Mos Def, Dead Prez, Roots).
