>>71852981
I mean, you're probably new, but /mu/ kinda likes this guy

great producer, peaks at yeezus

Him and Pepe are /mu/'s official mascots

>>71852981
Kanye is /ourguy/ here on /mu/

>>71852981
Kanye's best albums are The College Dropout and especially My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

>>71852986
yeah i am new both to /mu/ and hip hop in general.

Does /mu/ like him as a meme tho or for real?

>>71853045
gonna check them out.
just got caught on niggas in paris and famous holy shit do i like those songs

>>71852981
I honestly just hate looking at his face every time I go on /my/ now. I mean I don't hate the dude or anything, and I've only heard his music on The Chappelle Show. But I find him to be very overrated and he's probably a shitty human being because of his ego.

nah he's flawless and you need to check his stuff out. He's one of the best artists to come from the 2000's. He's an interesting person with an ego, but I think his ego is somewhat justified even if his actions aren't. It sure makes for some interesting art though, pretty much all of his recent work wouldn't have happened it it weren't for his ego so it all works out.

Both

I'll eventually cave in just to see what the hype is all about.

You may or may not be disappointed, he's a generally pretty polarizing artist. You'll either think he's genius or think all of his stuff is shit. Hopefully you'll be on the right side of history and enjoy his stuff :)

>as a musician

Kanye is, always has been, and always will be a producer first and everything else a distant second. His eye for talent IS his talent, and his ability to orchestrate said talent is damn impressive.

The thing with Kanye is, at least up through My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, he's been a legitimate trendsetting force in hip-hop throughout the 00s and history WILL be kind to his first 5 records. However, after that it's kind of felt like the persona has taken over the person and modern Kanye is intriguing, but also wildly divisive. That's also true for MBDTF but at least then the schtick was fresh. If you aren't buying into the antics of the man behind the curtain then your mileage may vary after Graduation or 808s. But he definitely earned his wings, there's no denying that.

Generally if they're a meme for more than just shitting on them (And even then) they like it.

I kind of like The Life of Pablo. Idk why...

There's nothing wrong with his making music, his albums, his legacy, or his personality because he's a human being like you and I. And if you think that's wrong - you're definitely wrong but emplore you to reply explaining how.
