Guess what /mu/? Kanye West is planning on picking up where David Bowie left off and continue David Bowie's legendary work.
What do you think of this /mu/?
http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/kanye-west-planning-david-bowie-7196837
That's better than Dave Grohl at least
Well, he is the Bowie of hip hop
>>61841160
>Kylo West
If kanye is the bowie of this generation then who is the iggy and who is the eno?
>>61841160
Why not, just shit on his legacy. It's not like he's here anymore to care.
you know these sites literally just make shit up right?
I think hell be fine
He would have "planned" to continue Queen's legacy if he was making music when Freddie Mercury died. Stop giving this retard attention.
>mirror.co.uk
Are you retarded m8
>>61841203
Please, please make this into a meme.
>>61841236
The Mirror is a very honest newspaper.
I hope he gets cancer too.
>>61841160
all according to plan
>>61841304
:^)
>>61841160
Their song writing style is totally different
Bowie was all weird stories and metaphors and stupid shit
Kanye just raps about his life and being him and other stupid shit
I guess it'd just be weird if kanye tried to write lyrics about something other than his direct personal experiences.
That's not too common in rap
>>61841321
Holy shit
>>61841205
Also Kanye
>kanye starts making rap
>fast forward ??? years later
>still making rap
yup his sound has really (d)evolved throughout his career

Is Kanye West the reincarnation of David Bowie?
>>61841321
is he even human>?
Somebody photoshop Kayne's face onto Kylo Ren's body with the caption "I will finish what you started." Then Photoshop the Heroes album cover over Darth Vader's burnt mask.
>>61841663
Who is Kylo Ren and what does he have to do with David Bowie?
>>61841573
I'm agreeing, idiot.
>>61841689
kylo ren is the bad guy in the new star wars movie
>>61841692
I thought you were being a sarcastic little shit.
>>61841202
how
>>61841203
i will finish what you started
>>61841554
but Kanye's sound really has evolved a lot. You're not making any sense
>>61841663
>Photoshop the Heroes album cover over Darth Vader's burnt mask
No, photoshop the bedazzled major tom skull.
>>61841782
he hasn't really transcended through other genres the same way
He is still just a rapper
>>61841689
He hero worships the bad guy from the old movies to the point that he even dresses like him. He even kept the burnt helmet from the old bad guy and tells it that he "Will finish what you started".
He also throws massive tantrums when things don't go his way.
there is no new bowie. bowie is eternal dummies
>>61841689
Kylo Ren is someone with potential who let his low self esteem get in the way.
>>61841782
his stupid lyrics ruins everything.
>>61841160
>>61841573
This is fake right?
I hope someone assassinates Kanye
>>61841803
And Bowie was still just a singer?!
>>61841160
>the mirror
confirmed fake, nothing to see here
>>61841573
they're all tabloids sourcing the same made up daily star article
made up celebrity news get passed around these sites every day, they're not trustworthy.
>>61841160
This might actually be the first Kanye record I ever buy.
>>61842145
I think in this source they are correct. Kanye has stated that Bowie is one of his main influences, and people mocked those who first posted links saying Kanye West and Justin Bieber were collaborating on an album together but that turned out to be true. I believe this.
What Kanye albums should I listen to, /mu/?
>>61842485
i'd believe that he's been inspired by bowie
i don't believe he's going to make an album full of bowie covers when he has an album coming out in 4 weeks that he probably only started writing last week
>>61842544
none of them
>>61842544
Late Registration is the only one that's actually worth listening to.
>>61841276
Hello Reddit
>>61841160
>classic hits like Charges
>Charges
toppest of keks
R isn't even close to N on the keyboard, you abject fucking retards.
>>61842544
Start with College Dropout and listen all the way to Yeezus in one sitting. Kanye Quest.
Even using someone's death to garner attention.
oh wait, he already did that once....
>>61842605
He's been working on this album for years. Theres material we know has been around since before yeezus.
>>61842544
don't believe the memes, they're all at least pretty decent.
College Dropout
Don't shit on the prophecy. it's happening
>>61842544
Late Registration, College Dropout and MBDTF
>>61841205
>who is the eno?
>>61841804
>He also throws massive tantrums when things don't go his way.
maybe he's the chosen one
>>61841803
bowie kept himself in rock like kanye stayed in hip hop.
and when bowie started doing weird shit like drum and bass no one liked it.
the only exception to bowie making rock music was stuff like ambient tracks in the berlin trilogy, which technically was enos work.
>>61841321
>>61841205
mike dean is eno
pusha t is iggy
>>61843144
Like when?
>>61843274
VMAs 2009
>>61843274
everytime beyonce doesnt win
>>61842967
i'm sure he has tons of material from all those years, but i'm convinced he only started putting it all together and writing lyrics just recently
>>61843344
>VMAs 2009
good times
witnessed
>>61843210
i'd say kid cudi is iggy (in that once kid cudi left kanye's wing he started sucking)
I woudld actually like to see what he does with African Night Flight and We Are The Dead.
Bonus points: Turning the intro to the Serious Moonlight rendition of Station To Station into a beat.
>>61841205
Pusha-T is Iggy:
He's this super-talented, raw-ass dude who doesn't quite get the same levels of exposure as Ye. That said, he and Ye are bros, and Yeezy always tries to place him in the spotlight.
Justin Vernon is Eno:
He's a graceful, smart musician who does his own thing and has his fingers in a couple dozen projects. His signature sounds are used so extensively in Yeezy's work, one could question who the real talent is.
>>61841535
kek
Please stop giving this idiot a platform to speak on.
>>61841205
is that even a question
>>61843918
Aphex Twin has absolutely no discernible talent.
>>61843961
ok internet commenter
>>61843759
>Justin Vernon is Eno
>singer with handful of features on two albums is comparable to the sound designer and producer of the entire Berlin trilogy and someone who kept prolific in his own career
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuu
>>>/reddit/
I can't wait to hear the dadrockers' reaction to this one.
>>61841160
this is why i like kanye, he's not a rapper he wants more
Please no
>>61843961
I don't mind it desu
I don't understand why it's so impossible to like both kanye and bowie
>>61842544
If you really want to get into his music, listen to his discography with the lyrics up on screen then just sit back and enjoy
>>61841321
>>61841160
I wouldn't be surprised
Graduation had a lot of influences and Stronger a top tier cover.
>>61841894
im not a gang star
>>61842544
i find college dropout and late registration boring, not bad though
808's & mbdtf are my favorites by him, yeezus is alright
>>61843759
Replace vernon with mike dean and youre onto something
>>61841205
Legit DJ Premier is the Brian Eno, largely set the stage in his early career and more or less irrelevant today
>>61843918
