If he is, then we all are. (/essentialism)

Unless you're referencing the Frank Ocean lyrics from No Church in the Wild -

Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a god?
What's a god to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?

 

[Major]

Gods are man made. God is not.

Yep.  We're all Gods if we believe in ourselves.

If we are not gods, we are bugs.

 

[Godsbrother]

God is a concept by which we measure all our pain.

Unlike. The Tarantino of Musical Entertainment. I may be the last human being to say this, but self-aggrandizement is not an art.

Amazing how many people just blindly hate b/c they heard a song or two.  I'm just going to assume you don't like hip hop.  He's a monarch in this sh**

Man, we're almost at the point where that would be funny to put on as a TouchTunes play at the bar. I feel old now.

I'm an old white man and discovered West when Chappelle had him rhymin with Talib Kweli in a kitchen or sumn. Followed him w great hope, as i have the people at the top of every musical trend since Buxtehude. Good at Leggo Art, value triple-cancelled by how low he's helping drag the culture - no more.

 

[Ignoramus]

@ "a" God

 

[wikkidpissah]

Always love your insight on things, very fascinating. But half the time I have no freaking idea wtf you're saying.

I'm just grateful i dont have to listen to me...

I believe it was Common and Kanye in the kitchen.

Yes. Thanks. Friend who's post lead me to make mine put this on her FB about the issue. It fits.

I also realize that I am in a situation, but I didn't say 'slavery was a choice.' Putz!

what makes him awful?

my bad. did what i hadda did, but i did it wrong

ETA: It was Talib, in the Conservatory, with a microphone (HipHop CLUE)

So he can put out music for himself and others, that is fine. Agree he is big, but its the stuff like what I posted above that makes you go, huh?

More...Kanye West just said 400 years of slavery was a choice

and just for the record, The Kardashians are demons who turned Scott into an alcoholic, Lamar into a crackhead, Bruce into a tranny, and Kanye into a old white racist

Kanye is Fat Albert?  I thought that was Cosby.

turned Kendall into a lesbian down?

 

[EYLive]

You misspelled "bum".

 

[Ilov80s]

Genius producer, decent rapper IMO and a mess of a person- likely has several diagnosable mental issues. So I would say no, not a god. 

 

[glvsav37]

To himself, yes. 

I'm not even religious and i refuse to give 'god' status to anyone who uses 1 skill to get rich and famous. Musicians, athletes, etc they may be elite at what they get paid for, but to paint any one of them with such a broad bush like 'a god' is ridiculous.

And to that, when did rich and famous make anyone any better or worthy of worship than the low level scientist working on a cure for cancer?

An Azerbaijani might reply, "So, who gives them a good one?"

ETA: BTW, has anyone told Major about the effect that referring to celebrities by their first names has on one's critical cred?

I would be lost at fashioning things from sheet metal without the one shop teacher who reached out, Mr. Harootian.

ETA: One of the reasons i so seldom listen to Azerbaijanis.

You kinda have to close your eyes and just sorta absorb wikkid but it's very powerful stuff once it's seeping into your bloodstream.

You're a little late with this train of thought.  A few funny guys beat you to it on the first page.  Try to be original.  That's all I ask.  TIA

I'm sort of like Kanye with his use of samples and nicknames.  Late to the party.

When you're sampling something someone already has, yes.  Go paint a soup can and tell me how it's a masterpiece, Picaso.

He is a music producer, I do not understand how someone does not see music producers as artists.
