But have you heard him sing?
Like...wow. He's got some talent... He also remembers words.
But have you heard Paul McCartney rap. Like... wow.
Nah both of those were someone years ago. Nowadays they are just click baiting for attention. I have been getting rolling stone for free for the past 2 years. LolYou go ahead and tell me whose album got a perfect 5 stars from Rolling Stone

Then, go ahead and tell me whose album was declared best album of the CENTURY according to GQ
http://www.gq.com/story/21-best-albums-of-the-21st-century?currentPage=1
Sorry, but I don't think Rolling Stone and GQ is "no one".
Humor me. Why would I hate Steve Jobs? Jobs was a very private person, he did very few things in public. He certainly never tweeted idiotic things or publicly insulted the public's intelligence. As a matter of art, I think more of Ive's art is in the iPhone than Jobs'. Moreover, I don't hear either of their voices when I use the iPhone.
Ha!! Yeah...that was a poor choice. Luckily, Paul McCartney isn't a rapper.
This is just ridiculous, resorting to FUD. By that measure we can't be *sure* of anything the Beatles did either. You're grasping at straws but even if you want to make an assumption that he never wrote a single lyric, never composed a measure, and hired a voice double to record every word, he still then has a tremendous marketing talent to move as many albums as he has and a talent for team building and talent acquisition to pull together the shadowy conspiracy that's *really* produced all of his body of work.
That is some surprising reading. I wonder now how out of touch I am with that stuff though. I have never owned anything at all;
By any artist higher than position 10.
By any male artist higher than position 8.
By any female artist, Ok position 2.
By any group higher than position 15.
Thank you for your subjective opinion. I strongly disagree with you and rightfully assume you have awful taste in music. Moving on.
That Grammy Award list shows that there is no relationship between quality of music or musical talent and the Grammy Awards.

Hilarious.
Kanye West is not music; it is garbage.
Rachmaninoff is one of the greatest composers to have ever lived. His talent surpasses Kanye's so much that it is like comparing a child's first drawing to The Sistine Chapel.
You know YOU have the option to stop reading about him and let US carry on talking about him right? That way we all win.Why is this news? The sooner we stop talking about that guy, the sooner he will fade away. Please stop talking about him.
Ok, much as I don’t agree with most of what you said, that was just plain funny.But have you heard him sing?
Like...wow. He's got some talent... He also remembers words.
To put your idiocy in perspective, I'll use your own words to argue against your own point.
"The artist's personality is reflected in their art"
If that were the case, Steve's rude personality should be reflected in your iPhone every time you use it.
I can't believe I actually had to lay that out for you. I'm sorry for you that you needed that.
Even if you want to try to derail the legitimacy of GQ and Rolling Stone, how about the Grammy's? Are you going to find a way to argue their lack of legitimacy as well?
Wrong again. Talent is like a religious belief. I'm studying classical piano currently. No matter the so called talent, being a great musician requires a ton of work. I'm not sure late nights in the studio Are equivalent.
We can be sure of what the Beatles did because they were trained musicians who played instruments.Does Kanye?
Your use of the word talent is what I object to. Yes he can market things but so what with enough money anybody can. Basically I would equate his position with luck, not talent.
Whoring Up with the Kardashians.Therelease of Famous comes a few weeks after Westtweeted that The Life of Pablo would "never never never" cometo Apple Music or iTunes.The context of that tweetmay point towards a less-than-serious mindset from the artist, because around the same time he tweeted about being$53 million in debt while using the social network to ask for money from Facebook founder MarkZuckerberg.
Even if you want to try to derail the legitimacy of GQ and Rolling Stone, how about the Grammy's? Are you going to find a way to argue their lack of legitimacy as well? Go ahead and look at the rankings. There are only 9 other artists that have won more Grammy's than Kanye West. Sorry, but you look ignorant.

LOL sorry, but magazine critics are just people whose opinions happen to end up on a website. If somehow being on a website makes them more legitimate than others, then I guess everyone on this forum deserves one of your altars.
And being part of Rolling Stone or GQ doesn't make a person "someone," sorry.
Just a clikbait headline, like "15 weirdest actors of all times" or "25 ways to become a billionaire in a second".How can they declare an album best of the 21st century 86 years before its ended?

BTW didn't Milli Vanilli win Best New Artist along with Paula Cole, Hootie, and Men at Work, and didn't Steely Dan beat Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP" and Radiohead's "Kid A" for Album of the Year in 2001?
