So you liked Graduation better than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy? Better than Late Registration? College Dropout? Graduation was one of his weaker albums in general opinion. 808s and Heartbreak was really underrated mainly because people didn't understand the album. Kanye is the only person willing to pursue a different sound from the average hip-hop album. Every album of his has a different sound. He is always trying to reach new levels musically that have never been reached in the hip-hop genre. Somewhat like Apple, right?

Mainstream/pop music is garbage. Kanye may be a crazy person, but people shouldn't say his music is garbage based on that. I don't understand the flip phone analogy? That may be fitting for somebody like Lil Wayne? Kanye's music is better experienced through nice headphones than crappy iPod earbuds or "EarPods," or worse, a cheap flip phone.

I wouldn't say every single song is garbage but I feel overall he's garbage. On top of that he thinks he's the ****. When he's actually not. There's people who've made much better music then him yet they're not there trying to make an ass out of themselves and other people. Every major event that happens he makes a fool of himself, for no apparent reason. I mean...you can argue that Jimmy crossed the line, but he makes a joke about tons of people. Have you seen them complaining? He's pretty insecure. It just pisses me off that there's people like that.
 
If he's overall garbage, how does he have an overall score of 80 on Metacritic? http://www.metacritic.com/person/kanye-west?filter-options=music

Pitchfork, the indie rock review website, gave him a 10 for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, his magnum opus. They gave him a 9.5 for Yeezus. 9.5 for Late Registration.

How is Jay-Z or Dr. Dre any better than Kanye?

You people are letting his personality cloud your judgement.

I think it's really his personality that rubs people the wrong way. I can't stand his arrogance but I agree that he makes quality music (sometimes).

808s & Heartbreak was probably my favorite Kanye album.
 
Kanye West is either in the studio right now making music or with his kid. Either way he's moving forward -> progressing in life.

Jeez so many haters. Who do you listen to? Miley Cyrus?

There's more music in the world than the crap West and Cyrus spit out and I use the term music extremely loose with both of those.

I'll take Sinatra, Martin and stuff like that any day over today's "music"

Agreed. I listen to all of that and bands like Boston and the Beatles. I also listen to Jean Michel Jarre and Pink Floyd. I'm not an idiot when it comes to music.

I also listen to Kanye West and Justin Timberlake. Is that a problem?

Agreed. BTW, most of today's music sucks.

Agreed, but I think pop music sucks, not hip-hop. Popular rap songs suck, too.
