She obviously thinks he's nuts...and she'd be right.
I know people like Arc thinks that Kanye's antics are staged  
Anakim : 5/24/2016 12:19 am : link
I have to disagree. I really think he's a genuine piece of shit. Did you read that article in the Post about his former bodyguard? Kanye is a mentally ill narcissist who is a moron to boot. He desperately a good ass-whooping in order to bring him back down to Earth.





And the marriage to Kim is a publicity stunt. All staged. Even the kids. All done for attention.

they arent staged, he is legitimate delusional egomaniac.

I remember an interview he did after he cut ties with Nike a few years back. He couldnt handle the fact that when he first signed with them that they didnt want him too involved in the design of the products. Kanye at the time spun this as some sort of oppression being enacted on him because of his skin color and intelligence. Then he went on to complain that the corporate structure of the world is such that no man from his standing would be allowed to design and create shoes and products and have it be a viable solo business venture (serious) and that it was too expensive for him to try that (also serious).

He's 100% crazy. It's not an act, it's all totally gotten to his head.
You know what I can't stand?

When people try to convince you that he is intelligent. Listen to him speak. He doesn't have one intelligent thought. He's a narcissistic fool, who, for some reason, people seem to think can rap, sing, and write meaningful lyrics. I don't like his music, but some people do fine. But, allowing that to give him this pulpit is just annoying beyond belief.

And STFU about Zuckerberg. F off. You have your own hundreds of millions of dollars. You can spend as much as you want to "help the world". You are so intent on doing so, then put your own money where your mouth is.
never heard him speak before.

His voice wasn't what I was expecting.
I recently spent time

with someone who worked with him for several years. He may have some personality issues in general, but overall, it is a prepared act.

I don't think he's a genius or prodigy by any stretch, but compared so many rappers, he is clearly more intelligent.

I also think that people often factor in his production chops and conflate that with intelligence. Kanye is unequivocally a technically talented producer, and I think some people extrapolate that into other aspects of his persona.

But considering how he seemingly gets more and more outlandish and is married to a Kardashian (aka a family that made their entire fortune off of a carefully manicured reality tv/social media image), I wouldn't be surprised if Randy was spot on that the vast majority of this is a total act.

having said that, damn, late registration was a hell of an album (and the song flashing lights is incredible)

Kanye is a musical visionary and an incredible producer. He has also shown to be quite successful with his fashion and shoe creations.

But he is completely unhinged. He is a narcissist with delusions of grandeur, but these loose screws are part of what bore his success.

He sucks now at rapping, but he used to be good  
UConn4523 : 5/24/2016 8:58 am : link
I don't really see him as a visionary at all, atleast not anymore. Fame, fortune, and just being an overall piece of shit has gotten in the way of him being good at his craft. He cares more about shock value and staying relevant now. When you have all the money in the world and you swing for the fences in your music, having it fail doesn't mean much.
His music aside...  
Steve L : 5/24/2016 9:32 am : link
Because I am not a fan of the genre in general....this guy is a narcissistic douche. So is his wife and her entire family. If he wants to make the world a better place, he should just disappear with Kim and all the other Kardashians (including Kaitlyn).
was never a fan but have nothing against him  
TJ : 5/24/2016 10:14 am : link
That said, all I needed to read was "married to a Kardashian" and I know I'm not interested in knowing anything else about him.
His music

Is still dope and should stand on its own. He's just another American in need of mental health. Extreme case of Narcissism.

+1

I tell everybody who "hates" him separate the music from the man and you will appreciate what he does
ehh  
UConn4523 : 5/24/2016 10:44 am : link
I still don't like his music, which has nothing to do with him. He used to be good and now he's moved on to shock value. He's no where near as creative or consistent. Just my opinion of course, but it has nothing to do with him as a person.
