"I wake up in the morning just thinking about which stereotypes I want to break ... I see artists like Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Chris Martin all in the same room, and we're going to push this music to the point where it was like in the sixties, in the seventies, where you talk about Led Zeppelin and Hendrix and the Beatles. We will be the new Beatles, the new Hendrix. They say in every other industry, you're supposed to do better than the past. Like, computers should get smaller and faster. But whenever you say, 'I want to be Elvis,' they say, 'What's wrong with you?" - Kanye West at the American Music Awards.
Hahaha, wow... dude really needs a wakeup call.
He's more like the new Beethoven
They're all like that now. To a point I understand what he's trying to say. These artists ARE this generation's big names in music. Pathetic, eh? Even though I don't like most older favorites (Beatles, Elvis, etc.) I do understand their contribution to music in general and their appeal to each generation. Now? ADHD twats with delusions of grandeur who are only using innovations from past music eras but calling it their own.
The industry is so fucked now that better artists could never be as classically great. You gotta sell like 2 records now to make number 1. Back then shit was crazy. You had to be on fucking fire. No fucking about.
My god. I just want them to die of herpes
FASLE!
fasle indeed.
more like fubar

Thats just not true. In those days you were so lucky if you had the chance to record an album.
The musicmarketing these days is just sick, they really look at what the listener wants to hear and see whats hot and not.
These days there are so many more bands, wich makes it harder to break trough.
Or I might be realy getting you wrong.
So basically, this is about Elvis?

this is still a great record
Ehhhhhh? You realise all these artists he's collabrated with, He has a seriously inflated ego.. but seriously if he thinks those people have changed music, Half of them rip off old songs and ruin them
Or does he thing people who don't write there own song/and or copy beats off other songs is actually making a contribution to music
Once again This guys on some serious drugs...
kanye and lupe can choke on a dick.
They will not make a lasting impression.
They will only be another face in the Hip Pop fad.
Too bad Kanye West sucks.
i hate Kanye west...rrrrrrr, he just boils my fucking blood
The sad thing is that artists now days who deserve to be treated like the next "Beatles" don't get any respect. it's sad :'( and then you have these ass wipes that don't even write their own music winning awards and making a shit ton of money, >:(

College Dropout is still the shit though. I still rock it.
i like Kayne 2 a certain degree - he'z pretty good , considering the gernre of music (hip hop) he'z in is dying . (remember, it happened 2 disco)
i could care less about led zepplin, but these catz are no led zep their not even motown - their chubby checker ("do the twist)...........

using z instead of s is not cool. and it's "I couldn't care less", not "I could care less".
Kanye:
"You know everyone loves and respects Michael but times change. It's so sad to see Michael gone but it makes a path for a new King of Pop and I'm willing to take that on. There's nobody who can match me in sales and in respect so it only makes sense for me to take over Michael's crown and become the new King," said West. "First there was Elvis, then there was Michael, now in the 21st century its Kanye's time to rule. I have nothing but respect for Michael but someone needs to pick up where he left off and there's nobody better than me to do that. I am the new King of Pop."
I wanna spit in his face. Seriously. FUCK him.
haha he just does it so people will buzz about it. Seems to have worked.
Uh...he didn't say this.

Hmm okay. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did though.

Only spit?? C'mon! You know that you can do more to that prick!
Kanye strikes again!
[youtube=425,350]2yOOPHe3QHU[/youtube]
His idiocy never ceases to amaze me.
Christ that was disrespectful.
Yeah, he's beyond retarded.
i couldn't name even 1 kanye west song, i'm serious. i've cut myself off from the dog shit mtv tries to call great or cool. pretty much since 2001 i've heard very little of the most popular hip hop r&b and pop. it got so bad i quit
all i know is he's a gay fish
what a fucking moron. I hope someone seriously takes him down to earth again, hopefully in a physical manner. say what you will about the MTV awards, but that girl deserved her time in the spotlight and she will always remember winning that award - now a memory soiled by that disgusting prick.
Karma will take care of him. He's no musician... He talks over fabricated beats. Let's see him write a full song on guitar and perform it with a band. Or maybe he can look inside of himself and realize that WE ARE ALL ONE! No matter how much "they" try and brainwash us into thinking we're all so unique and how we're all individuals, we still all evolved on the same planet (most of us anyway) therefore, we are all connected. Each human is 99% identical. Kanye should have a little more respect for his fellow man and woman. The further you move away from the fractal, the more you begin to see it consists of one piece.

What's sad is that his first two albums are really good.

The universe has it's way of getting rid of trash. In due time.
i think Kanye is great at first i hated the fact that he uses so much autotune but he uses it in a way unlike anyone else. I hope he does push the boundaries.
i had a horrible day at work and when he got on staged and fucked that stupid little white girls night up it made my day
taylor swift doesn't care about black people.
I saw Kanye. He headlined a Seattle music festival once. I was hammered and grooving on it. He is a prick though.
haha anyone else see that comedy central is playing the fishsticks episode of south park twice tonight? soooo funny.
i dunno if you guys saw his backstage rant too, but i just don't understand where he gets off talkin about racism and all that bullshit at the MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS!!!?!?@ I do believe they're second only to BET in terms of content made by "the black man." but seriously, i've never seen either of the videos, but taylor swift is like 19 with only that one VMA win, beyonce is 28 with 9 VMA wins, and kanye is 33 with 2 VMA wins. wtf, grow up, fuckin douchebag. even if it was weighted in her favor because of race, it's not like she had shit to do with it.
i read through this thread again too and i saw a couple posts about how he just wants to pork beyonce and was like omg the sharinglungs prophets strike again!
I saw it and I was like damn that is a good way to look like a fucking douche LMAO

Ha ha, pretty hilarious indeed... :)
he is a knob, but that is apart of his persona at the moment. i lost a lot of respect for him (that i didn't even know i had actually) after what he did to taylor swift. it was completely inappropriate and insensitive to humiliate someone like that.
i'm not going to discredit his abilities in the musical field, but he's pretty dodgy as a person and he needs to work on himself to improve his humanity and his behaviour towards others.
Kayne is a dooooosh. But his music is Sick. I will continue to illegally download his music.
that's the best thing you can do for him, seriously
