Yeezy fucking revolutionized the rap game by proving you didn’t have to be some big thug gangster to be a rapper. You could be some short nobody with no bass in your voice wearing a pink polo and still kill the game. Only people like 50 Cent rapped before Kanye came along. every single one of his albums changed the game when they came out, Graduation, 808’s and Heartbreak, Late Registration, MBDTF, Yeezus, and I’m sure we remember the media firestorm Life of Pablo created for fucking months after it’s release; I don’t know any other artist right now whose entire discography is as solid and regularly re-listened to as Kanye’s, and whose music releases are so hyped and iconic, what kind of scene would rap be in now if MBDTF wasn’t made? When was the last time Kanye released anything and it wasn’t a huge deal? Not to mention a fashion line, actual art and mixed media work he’s done, art exhibitions he’s put on etc.

it’s just the typical thing to hate on Kanye because he’s loud and cocky and mainstream while completely ignoring the fact that he has a very peculiar and interesting artistic vision and an affinity for fine arts. I’d go so far as to say he is one of the few people on Earth who’s earned being that cocky because he works his ass off on so much shit and is actually pretty damn good at most of it, not to mention almost all on his own from being a nothing nobody from Chi Town, he’s truly a self made man.

the only thing delusional in this whole thread is everyone who just takes Kanye at face value and is actually deluded into taking his trolling shit like this serious and waste their time giving their genuine two cents on what they think about the man lol everyone is in a thread like this getting their jimmies rustled over some backhand remark that he probably already forgot about, while he’s wiping his ass with 100 dollar bills, probably getting ready to drop another album that’s gonna change the entire scene again, and laughing at people like this
