Kanye West fans don't know who Paul McCartney is

[SuckOnThis]

Yesterday we told you about Kanye?s New Year?s Day surprise collaboration with Paul McCartney, ?Only One.? Today on Twitter, some Kanye fans are wondering just who this Paul McCartney fella is.

[MaDalton]

and i still say that Idiocracy is a documentary that got accidentally sent back in time...

[SuckOnThis]

I'm still wondering who the hell Kanye West is.

[Bladewire]

Aren't Tweeters know for posting as they think?

Aren't these the same crowd that microwaved their Iphones to to recharge then tweeted that it didn't work?

[MaDalton]

I'm still wondering who the hell Kanye West is.

i can safely say that i don't recall one single song from him - i just remember him for stealing the microphone from Taylor Swift

[Robbie]

I think that they may have been joking around.

But they might be right...this young Paul McCartney fellow just might finally get a break in the music industry now that he's hooked up with Kanye! lol

[WDF]

and i still say that Idiocracy is a documentary that got accidentally sent back in time...

It most certainly could be taken that way.

I'm still wondering who the hell Kanye West is.

Kanye Mid West, he is Kim K's baby daddy isn't he?

i can safely say that i don't recall one single song from him - i just remember him for stealing the microphone from Taylor Swift

That and his South Park cameo.

[Robbie]

Just listened to it. Pretty unspectacular.

Apparently it's Paul McCartney noodling around on a Fender Rhodes electric piano with Kanye singing.
Sort of like a demo for a song.

I was thinking it had Paul singing on it. But nope...just playing piano.

[Bladewire]

Present day Paul McCartney

[SuckOnThis]

I think that they may have been joking around.

But they might be right...this young Paul McCartney fellow just might finally get a break in the music industry now that he's hooked up with Kanye! lol

You could be right but nothing surprises me anymore. There are actual studies that show people are getting dumber and dumber by the generation.

And that makes you guys just as ignorant as the idiots who haven't heard of Paul McCartney.

Here's a review of Kanye's last album. Certainly you have both heard of the guy who wrote the article, may he rest in peace.

hardly a fair comparison. paul is a part of the history of modern music and kayne is just another rapper.

^^^^ this

and since i deeply despise the whole rap culture (unless we're talking about people like Guru/Jazzmatazz), i just blend those people out

That's exactly the same attitude my grandparents likely had towards The Beatles when my mom started listening to them in the 60s.

[dyna mo]

I guess we should teach more Beatles in our schools. we can carve out some time from maths and sciences.

[SuckOnThis]

That's exactly the same attitude my grandparents likely had towards The Beatles when my mom started listening to them in the 60s.

So you're comparing this guy to the Beatles?

So, you're intentionally ignorant?

How exactly do you expect kids these days to learn about music from 2 or 3 generations ago?

Shouldn't it be considered a positive that Kanye wanted to collaborate with McCartney? How is that a bad thing?

Sure, the people who hadn't yet heard of Paul McCartney sound like idiots on Twitter, but shouldn't it be considered a good thing that they've now heard of him and can then google 'Paul McCartney' and then stumble upon The White Album, listen to it, and think "Man, that is some good shit!"?

If you're truly a Beatles fan, you should be happy that a new generation of fans are being exposed to them because it will keep their legacy alive for many more years.

When I was growing up, my mom would always listen to Oldies radio stations which would play some of their earlier stuff so I was exposed to them from an early age. While I liked their songs, I didn't truly become a fan until college when I started listening to their later stuff.

You have to start somewhere.

Just because these people haven't heard of Paul McCartney doesn't necessarily mean that they are all idiots (though I'm sure that a lot of them are), it just means that they haven't had the benefit of being exposed to his music at a young age.

It's really not that much different than when Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney did a few songs together in the early 80s.

[SilentKnight]

I'm still wondering who the hell Kanye West is.

Kanye West married Kim Kardassian.

They had a kid - they cleverly named it North West.

Kim's vagina was renamed the Northwest Passage.

[MiamiBoyz]

Well, if humanity survives for a few hundred more years, Paul's music will still be listened to as while the shit that Kanye farts out will have been long forgotten.

[ErectMedia]

I'm still wondering who the hell Kanye West is.

+1

Personally I would have declined teaming up with Kanye on anything.

[dyna mo]

Kanye West married Kim Kardassian.

Kim's vagina was renamed the Northwest Passage.

i snickered.

[SilentKnight]

Oh yes...thankfully we have Kanye West to preserve and proliferate the Beatles legacy for future generations.

[jimmycooper]

So you're comparing this guy to the Beatles?

Well, it's really hard to compare anyone to the Beatles! That being said, there are a lot of people out there who view Kanye as being in the same stature as did people view The Beatles back in the 60s. If you've followed his career, you'd know that he made a transition with his sound on his last two albums in a way similar to what the Beatles did beginning with Revolver or Sgt. Peppers. Again, it's really hard to compare the two. Different genres, different generations. Only time will tell.

[jimmycooper]

How did you get into The Beatles? And how is it so much superior to how the younger generation is getting into them? Why are you special?

[jimmycooper]

Kanye West married Kim Kardassian.

They had a kid - they cleverly named it North West.

Kim's vagina was renamed the Northwest Passage.

And John married Yoko and there went the Beatles.

[MaDalton]

actually I am not even a fan of the Beatles

and yes, i am intentionally ignorant when it comes to black dudes wearing gold chains, diamond grills, pants down and giving themselves stupid names.

people than can hardly pronounce one straight sentence in regular english but behave like they are the kings of the world - and stupid kids blindly admire them

it disgusts me

[brassmonkey]

you know they inside jokin right???

I agree (although I am a big Beatles fan) and I blame MTV for glamorizing that shit.

[SilentKnight]

Uh-oh...must've touched a nerve in a Kanye fanboy.

How did you get into The Beatles?

I was never "into" the Beatles.

And how is it so much superior to how the younger generation is getting into them?

Damn...did I use grey text on grey background again? I'm not seeing that in my previous post.

Why are you special?

I'm your physical and intellectual superior in every way.

Anything else you need clarification on?

[SuckOnThis]

Fair enough. Your mom sounds like she did a fine job in at least exposing you to some truly great music, but I personally think with very few exceptions there hasn't been any decent music put out for the past 20 years.

[adultchatpay]

I don't know Kanye but i know Kim.

Yeah, please clarify how you are so physically and intellectually superior to me? This should be funny.

[The Porn Nerd]

Does it really surprise you tho? Not me.

[SilentKnight]

Yeah, please clarify how you are so physically and intellectually superior to me? This should be funny.

I already demonstrated it above - you failed to understand it.

[jimmycooper]

There has been good music over the past couple of decades, it's just more difficult to keep up with as an adult. A lot of that I think has to do with getting older and having more responsibilities than you had when you were younger. At least that's been the case for me.

[jimmycooper]

I already demonstrated it above - you failed to understand it.

No you didn't. You may think you have, but that has more to do with your deluded sense of self-worth than it does with reality.

[SilentKnight]

No you didn't. You may think you have, but that has more to do with your deluded sense of self-worth than it does with reality.

And Kanye has his feet planted firmly on the ground of reality.

"I am Warhol! I am the number one most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh. Walt Disney, Nike, Google."

"My greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live."

"When I think of competition it's like I try to create against the past. I think about Michelangelo and Picasso, you know, the pyramids."

"I think what Kanye West is going to mean is something similar to what Steve Jobs means. I am undoubtedly, you know, Steve of Internet, downtown, fashion, culture."


Enjoy your Kanye Sings the Beatles.

Sounds a little like when John Lennon said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus.

Still waiting for you to prove your intellectual and physical superiority...

[fitzmulti]

I am shocked and stunned that none of the twitter replies BACK to those idiots were things like:
"He's that white dude that sang with Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder back in the day..."

Re-read the thread...slowly...comprehend...and stay tuned.

[bronco67]

Could it be possible these tweeters are brilliant satirists with a razor sharp sarcastic wit?

Probably not, if they listen to Kanye West.

They likely couldn't spell satirist with a dictionary in one hand.

A few months on GFY will confirm that.

Pretty much.

I liked this post. Music industry today is in bad shape which is why there are more rap and solo artists being shoved down our throats. Doesn't mean it is all bad, just cheaper to produce. But it's great for both Paul and Kanye to collaborate and expose both extremely different audiences to each other.

That said, kids today scare the shit out of me! They better stay off my lawn.

[Far-L]

And that makes you guys just as ignorant as the idiots who haven't heard of Paul McCartney.

Here's a review of Kanye's last album. Certainly you have both heard of the guy who wrote the article, may he rest in peace.

Lou Reed Talks Kanye West?s Yeezus | The Talkhouse Music

Have you read the review? Imho, Lou Reed is mocking the record as only Lou could do, may he rest in peace since his acid wit is missed.

Kanye has never made interesting songs, just pop music that is about as temporal and everlasting as a turd in a toilet. Most of his biggest sellers are pretty much straight rip offs of pop songs that ring an emotional ding dong people easily salivate to. He sells a ton of records because tons of people like that sort of drivel the same way they like the billions of shitty burgers McDonalds has served.

[420]

Man, I'm cool with his and hers
But I'm 'bout that his and his
Let me eat that boy pussy
It taste good like M&M'S
I'm gonna bust that ass open
And send you back home to him
Then I kick that shit like Biz Markie
And say you just a friend
