Thursday, January 8, 2009

Kanye West graces the cover of the February issue of Vibe Magazine looking rather serious. The caption accompanying the picture reads “I am Rap”. Peep some snippets:

Kanye on being deemed a violent person because of his paparazzi experience…
“I haven’t done anything violent. They make it seem like I actually went and hit the paparazzi. I haven’t. I was restrained. I’m good at restraining myself from committing violent acts. I know how to control my temper. That one paparazzo made it a bigger deal. I just put my hand up and he felt like he had more right to my personal space than I did. I put my hand up to stop him from shooting me.”

Kanye on 808’s being his best album…..
“I do think it’s my best album to date. No, I actually know this is my best album to date. Do I think it will be my best album ever? No, Ill improve. Do I think there are mistakes in it? Yes. There has to be. I’m a human being. But I think it surpasses Graduation. These 12 tracks are going to resonate more than any 12 tracks of any album this year.”

In related news, Kanye’s latest album, 808s & Heartbreak jumped from the #5 spot to the #3 spot this week.

I’m more interested in the article about the battle for J. Dilla’s legacy. He influenced Kanye.

kanye west, this is not a good look and like always, he comes off as too damn arrogant. I have to agree that graduation was his best album to date, that auto tune sh*t on 808 is beyond played..and he is really becoming annoying..i think he oughta take a 2 year break from hollywood forreal

MY ROLE

—-Cosign with # 17. I’m tired of people “assuming” things about Kayne.
—-If you ask me, he change his look on purpose…why? Probably to see
—-how people would react. I did…cut all my hair and people wild out, LOL.
—-But regardless he’s alright with me. Its not he’s on drug and acting a fool
—-like some of the “so-called” hip hop artists. Do your thing Kayne.

He has been looking sooooooo seroius and sad and upset, I honestly don’t feel like he has truly accepted his mother’s death yet. I can’t imagine how you are supposed to ever get over that. However, I still think is a BRILLIANT ARTIST AND HE IS THE FUTURE OF RAP!!!!

Kanye stan 4 life.

KANYE, I LOVE YOU!!!!

I don’t even listen to Hip-Hop/Rap…the only album I bought in 2008 is Kanye’s album! 808 to me is a classic. I love, love, love, it! I’m just loving Kanye right now! Kanye, are you dating??? Where can an intelligent, pretty, brown-skinned girl, bump into a big star like you????????????????

Anyone talking sideways about Kanye, you need to fall like a million steps back. Kanye has two singles on the Billboard 100 RIGHT NOW, anything you have to say about his style, his looks, his attitude is completely irrelevant. God Bless You Kanye!

I’m taking my time listening to your album. I’m still stuck on Love Lock Down! & Heartless! Each song is like a special jewel that I want to take my time getting to know…lol I’m bugging right!! I Can’t help it! I lovvvvvvvvvvvvve Kanye West!

Peace,
Kanye’s Biggest fan!

xoxoxo *muah*~ For my baby Kanye!

umm definitely not the best album of ‘08. it was adventurous, i’ll give him that. and it’s not like his albums are that great, i mean is he even saying anything that’s truly worth listening to? i think college dropout was his best just b/c it was new and he didn’t really have a voice or if he did, i was unaware. he comes across way too cocky in some interviews for me. i don’t consider him to be the music revolutionary he claims that he is. just my opinion
