Kanye makes garbage music. He is one of the farthest people from a "musical genius" out right now.

wow what a shocker, a T-pain comparison....you know he wasn't the first dude to ever use autotune right? I can't understand how some people (I dontknow if you do or not) base their opinions on the CD because of autotune

You didn't just say he lost some fans, you said ALL he did was lose fans.
Well, you for one.
Oh yeah? Word?? I thought it was most of the board though? Where is everybody else? I'm not trying to start @*@%, but it gets old hearing howNT is full of Kanye stans when its not...if anything most threads about dude are filled with people claiming that NT is in love with Kanye, pause, than actualKanye fans themselves
how about, a complete rip off of T-Pain?
Can you please tell me WHICH T-Pain record sounds like any of the records on 808s? This CD sounds completely different than Pain's work forthe most part. The use of Autotune is the only thing your basing your argument on and even the way Ye uses it doesn't sound the same as T-Paindoes.

Agreed but where is the line going to be drawn? Is mainstream really acceptable when both have regressed tremendously?

Care to nitpick me any further? The way you stick up for Kanye is flat out gross, period. I'm done with this thread, I'd have a better chance atconvincing John Madden that Brett Favre is overrated.

Realtalk that has already begun, Kanye's approval rating has been dropping quickly this last year, among male and female fans. Everyday I seemore and more people fed up with this cat being a diva, making outlandish statements, and thinking the world revolves around him. There's still a largeamount of fans that blindly support everything he does and says, would have his kids for him, and give him a pass on everything(esp. on nt), but compared to ajust a year ago those numbers aren't even close.
�
808s might have been #1 in the US but it flopped everywhere else in the world, saw something that said his new album debuted everywhere from 11th to 35th insome countries. So the world isn't supporting this "new sound" either.
'ye needs to get his act together quick or else he'll be lucky if his next album sells 200k its first week

It never fails.
Why would you infer that I stick up for Kanye for any other reason besides the music he puts out? I'm not trying to nitpick you, rather than point out thebig picture...the whole 'everybody loves Kanye' thing just interferes with the discussion of the music.

Dont compare her latest album to 808's and Heartbreak's record sales, Kanye has said flat out he could care less how many sales he had onthis album. His goal was to get his feelings out and shed a light on what his current state of mind is. If you want to compare her new album to his albumGraduation then I will gladly take Kanye's sales in a second over your girl Britney because that one was clearly out for the sales and is why he pushed itso much more than this one with the whole 50 cent battle.

Kanye's definitely on his strictly business ishh.. I had a feeling he would change up after i heard Drunk & Hot Girls on Graduation.
He told everybody what he was gonna do on Go Hard and just changed his whole swag up.
"tell me what it take to be numba one
i guess its gon be what its gon be
but heres one thing you got to hear
imma tell you like george bush told me
!#!% y'all ni**as im out of here"
He doin it for the money now he dont care about the respect, im not feelin his music like i used to but i cant hate his hustle.

is this joke still funny?
and the Andre 3000 comparisons have no base... 808s and Love Below sound nothing alike, the latter being stictly pop.. Andre sold 5 mil WITH the help of BigBoi and the fact that both artists appealed to completely different markets (southern hip hop/pop), not to mention Outkast had a deal with EA Sports which gotthem ALOT of exposure

Record sales have been on the decline since the Love Below/Speakerboxx days but IMO Kanye has had way more exposure than Outkast ever had. Kanyeis constantly in the news for something whether its him complaining about an award or getting arrested or just saying carzy things like "i want to retireand be a designer". IMO 808's had just as much (if not more) exposure as the love below....its just that The Love Below was better and people liked itmore.Originally Posted by theUisinthebuildin

Kanye did pick up alot of fans with this album but he did lose a huge portion of his older fans with this new sound.

Genius when it comes to marketing, but personally I don't consider him a rapper anymore. He's the next Michael Jackson. S*** is goin to his head
