Kanye......... He just appeals to people who think hes some kind of big movement.. I say its all a bunch of hype cause when I listen to the dudes tracks I dont even think their that good.

Maybe I just expect too much from big time rappers these days that cant bring half of what their ego implies.

Is this album even good.....?

Usually when albums go platinum real quick they turn out to be whack mpop chart albums like the massacre or encore or some nelly shit......

I dont like the tracks he released, that diamonds shit was ok but then got overplayed and its alright i guess, but that goldigger shit is whack....

Diamonds was a poofy beat.. And the gold digger one was blaitantly average aswell..

He isnt a very high caliber artist at all..

I agree, that diamonds shit is corny as hell.....

One thing Kanye has over most of the industry is how creative he can be, even tho some tracks are frowned upon, they are creative beats and ideas.....

Some peoples ideas of creativity can lack severly in appeal..

Nah, i hated kanyes verse on that remix......
