At best the video is trolling.. at worst.. well..
That said it's hilarious hearing the frustrated rock stars and close minded idiots here whine about Kanye. Yeah he's no genius, that's a pretty high bar to set and it's easy picking him off it. He's not even a good rapper, especially if you've seen him try and freestyle around other rappers.
He is however pretty damn good at making and producing music. I used to be knee jerk ignorant too (as well as being a frustrated rock star). I was going to a festival where he was headlining and explicitly didn't want to see him and complained about his appearance taking the spot of better bands.
In the end I figured probably a quarter of the whole ticket price ($450) was probably going just to him vs the other hundred bands over the three days so I'd better get my money's worth and it wasn't like anything better was on at headliner time. Knowing that I was going to see him I actually listened to some of his stuff. This was a couple of years ago and he was touring My Twisted Dark Fantasy. It's a really good album. Very clever compositions. At least four truly great tracks on it. Completely changed my opinion of his music. Can't say I've listened to it or anything he's done before or since, but if they came on the radio while I was driving I would happily tap along.
I can't say I'm a fan of rap (maybe 0.2% of my collection is that kinda crossover stuff.. Liking "Thriftshop" doesn't make you a rap fan), I think he's Grade A dickhead and so on but anyone that thinks he's talentless is a fucking know nothing retard of the highest order. He's got oodles of talent, just not a scintilla of commonsense.
Fucking Elvis. LOL. The goon didn't even write his own songs. He was the plastic manufactured Justin Bieber of his day, a pretty voice and a pretty face doing good covers.
You guys.
