Kanye West is an A-hole.....

[Xavier_Onassis]

Pissing off White people is the means to the end of Kanye staying in the forefront of rapstarhood. He wants to piss off everyone who is not into rap music, which includes many people as well as old White men.

I am sorry you are incapable of reasoning how this is so, it is not a difficult conclusion. I think you are just trying to be annoying, a feat at which you excel.

you are not a fan of any hip hop or rapster, and neither am I.

I am not any sort of rap fan per se, but I have purchased rap albums from Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and the late "Dolla".

I loathe rap and hip hop and avoid it all the time. I do not even like it in Spanish.  There are so many kinds of music I do like that is actually, well musical, with lyrics that,. well, actually say something intelligible that I see no reason to even try to like rap. 

People who do like rap think Kanye West is talented at it. But I will let them be his fans.

The first one is Irritating and maudlin at the same time.

The second is also somewhat unintelligible bitching about how he married (or otherwise began a relationship with) some girl who turned out to be real bore.

There are instruments present, but this is hardly music, and nothing I would want to hear more than once. As poetry, it is pretty second rate. If the Eagles are a ten, this is a one and a half.

music touches people in different ways
some people never get goose-bumps from music
i feel blessed that music can touch me in that way
there is really no "right" or "wrong"
it's about a connection on some level
