A Quick Tip by RabidChihuahua

There's absolutely nothing I like about Kanye West, whether it be his music or his personality. Kanye is nothing more than a pompous ass with an ego bigger than the Goodyear blimp, and his music is some of the most bland hip-pop (NOT real hip-hop, just pop music disguised as hip-hop) I've ever heard. Do your part and ignore this attention-seeking prick, then go listen to the prime works of Grandmaster Flash, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, Erik B & Rakim, and Tribe Called Quest just … more

While I'm not a huge fan of rap or hip-hop, I must say that West has put out quite a few songs that I really like. However, is ego is bigger than Texas, and he comes off as an all around jerk.

Perhaps someone could tell me why I should care that on-line pictures of a penis are really his! What a low life.

I cant review someone i dont like.

I dont like kanye west. I do have to give it to him cause he does make good music but his music is over shadowed by his bad manners. You could be the smartest or prettiest person in the world but if you act like a jerk it doesnt matter. no one has the right to make you feel less then what you are. Someone needs to humble Kanye West boy one day that cloud is gonna slip from under you. Great music<acting like a jerk so no one really care about the great music. hmm

It's worth your time to hear his music, despite what a social screw-up and embarrassment he is to his genre of musicians and to himself. Regardless, his poetry and flow are pretty epic and ground breaking... not to mention really fun to dance to ; )

No Fear, No Filter, No Middle Ground

The best thing about Kanye West is also the worst thing about him: he has no filter. What Kanye thinks comes out of his mouth, or on the stage of an awards show or benefit concert, or best of all, into his music. This is what makes his lyrics so fascinating: what other hip-hop star would write so earnestly about his relationship with another rapper as Kanye did with Jay-Z on "Big Brother"? Or discuss so openly how sick about awards he was, like on "Diamonds"? … more
