Has a white rockstar ever received the same kind of vitriol Kanye has?

Axel Rose maybe
If you count punk and maybe metal then yes, but most of the hate towards is prob cuz he's black
>>69265246
Maybe Morrissey, but he deserves it
>>69265258
The hate has to be in close conjunction to their actions.
Kanye's never actually done an asshole thing or done anything that would consider him a terrible human eing.
>>69265246
Jerry Lee Lewis or Elvis maybe, but probably not really.
>>69265258
This is a good answer
I feel like Lennon's "more popular than Jesus" moment should be mention too
I haven't seen anybody burning Kanye records yet
Phil Collins or Bono?
Also >>69265258 this
Without doubt
>>69265285
What are you talking about dude? He says stupid shit all the time
I love his music, but open your eyes
>>69265298
that's just because the type of people who still buy records in 2016 are not the type of people who would burn records
People got pretty mad when Dylan went electric.
>>69265328
OK iPods or CDs or what have you
or canceling their streaming accounts
still haven't seen that type of reaction to Kanye
>>69265285
he's probably the most narcissistic artist in history
>>69265426
because it doesn't really work as a public demonstration so you'd just be retarded to pay for something for no reason in that case
People hate Kanye because they fell for his act. Once the haters realize that he is actually a comedian and that his music and public statements aren't meant to be taken seriously, they will realize how great he is. In the meantime, he will continue to laugh his way to the bank.
Easily the best black comedian since Richard Pryor. Maybe better.

kanye's public persona is blatantly narcissistic (im guessing acts the way he does on purpose, puts more eyes on him), of course people are gonna be pissed at him.
also gg allin

plus it was the bible belt where they were burning records; even back then there were journalists who were like "yeah those dudes are cray"
