Kanye West..

[manutd 4 ever]

this guy is a mother fuckin geneius!

[jesus'_bright_red_pants]

I love him ! I've got his old CD but not got his new one yet ! I am guessing its amazing ! Is it better than his first ?

[pressure]

i dont think hes a 'genious'
but he does bring out good songs
'Gold Digger' - perfect beat and tune

[Oxide]

I liked Through The Wire, but other than that he's another mediocre hip-hop artist in my eyes.

[Mamfy]

I like a few of his songs, but it's not really my kind of music to be honest.

[Pearson]

I wouldnt say genoius, but he is very good. Got both his albums. Love the diamonds from sierra leon remix wi jay z. I have to say I dont know how he gets away with some of his lyrics, he is very racist!!! clearly hates white people, its just not on.

[Mamfy]

That's very true! Not many people get away with stuff like that

[D3c3p7ioN]

Hes pretty good. I like most of his tunes.

[xxrachxx]

i think hes ok

[DJDanny2020]

yeah hes alrite, i heard his new album aint very good tho

[Entice]

I agree he is.
I love Goldigger and Jesus Walks.
Im not religious but if u listen to his lyrics they got heaps of meaning.

yeah the Remix is the better version, i dont think he hates white people, he hates how white people have ripped off the black countries.

Diamonds has the deepest meaning.


Good Morning, this ain't Vietnam still
People lose hands, legs, arms for real
Little was known of Sierra Leone
And how it connect to the diamonds we own
When I speak of Diamonds in this song
I ain't talkin bout the ones that be glown
I'm talkin bout Rocafella, my home, my chain
These ain't conflict diamonds,is they Jacob? don't lie to me mayne
See, a part of me sayin' keep shinin',
How? when I know of the blood diamonds
Though it's thousands of miles away
Sierra Leone connect to what we go through today
Over here, its a drug trade, we die from drugs
Over there, they die from what we buy from drugs
The diamonds, the chains, the bracelets, the charmses
I thought my Jesus Piece was so harmless
'til I seen a picture of a shorty armless
And here's the conflict
It's in a black person's soul to rock that gold
Spend ya whole life tryna get that ice
On a polar rugby it look so nice
How could somethin' so wrong make me feel so right, right?
'fore I beat myself up like Ike
You could still throw ya Rocafella diamond tonight, 'cause

[Entice]

Havent heard that song...seems good though.

[manutd 4 ever]

^ its better than the first!

[Mamfy]

Yeah, they have meaning

[TheDude!]

Yea this man is a genius, he was making video games at the age of 12, he's been a producer for 10 years and now a mainstream rapper...and the guys like 30! C'mon

Yer i luv that song!

Video games at 12...then moved onto being a producer....i find that funny.

[TheDude!]

The link between the two isn't that much of an odd one. When making the video games he had to also create the music.

[Entice]

^ True.

[Goxxipgurl]

Kanye West is cool. I like his songs: "Touch the sky" and "Golddigger".

[Fairy]

He totally rocks.I'm soooo happy!:) He's cuming here 4 too nites only!And he's cuming to the stadium which is really close to where i live.I wont bee able to go.My mum wont let me:( :( :( It toatally sux

[*_*BeCcI*_*]

hes ace i was ment to go see him at manchester but my mates dropped out. two of my toher mates when to the 1 in birmingham (i think) where there was shooting outside! :O love touch the sky but he got some better songs on his albums

[Mewow *_*"]

Tehe, his THA man! :D His lyrics are crazy and he lOOks sweet aswell ^.^
His song " Jesus Walks" Raawr <3 Cannot get over that one, tihi.

[johnnycash31]

I just got a bunch of kanye west ringtones for my cell. It only took a couple of minutes. The site was www.outrageousringtones.net (http://www.outrageousringtones.net/) I think it works for almost every service too.

[GymClassHeroine]

He's one of the few rappers I can tolerate. His songs actually have some meaning. Either that, or they're just fun, real hip-hop.

[Roly]

Yeah he don't talk about chicks shaking their ass like Sean Paul does.

[allflowerz]

Yea hes a good artist, doing alot for the whole genre in general, moving it in a positive direction.

[notorious]

Kanye is straight. He's got some skillz, but he really shines with his production, where he's on the level of guys like Dre and Timbaland. Plus he reps Chicago

[Tamara]

I LOVE Kanye... He just rocks. His songs have a really nice beat =)

[Fez]

I Like Kanye ::o

[Leon]

Annoying as.

[VraiCanon]

I love Kanye, the majority of his lyrics are real too and not some bullshit about how rich he is, how many sluts he's tapped or slipping some hidden advertisting into his songs either - like, for example, 50 Cent.

Favourite song has to be Jesus Walks.

[Leon]

Right right ok, so I just looked up lyrics for 3 of his recent singles, 'Heard 'em say', 'Gold digger' & 'Touch the sky'.

And reading the lyrics all he does is spout out a load of crap about what a black man can't do and how they're unfairly treated, and just says 'nigger' and/or 'dawg' about 10 times in every song.


[Jamie Foxx]
She take my money well I'm in need
Yea she's a trifflin friend indeed
Oh she's a gold digga way over town
That digs on me

[Chorus:]
(She give me money)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm in Need)
But she aint messin wit no broke niggas
(She give me money)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm in Need)

[Verse 1:]
Cutie the bomb
Met her at a beauty salon
With a baby louis vuitton
Under her underarm
She said I can tell you rock
I can tell by ya charm
Far as girls you got a flock
I can tell by ya charm and ya arm
but I'm lookin for the one
have you seen her
My psychic told me she'll have a ass like Serena
Trina, Jennifer Lopez, four kids
An I gotta take all they bad assess to show-biz
Ok get ya kids but then they got their friends
I Pulled up in the Benz, they all got up in
We all went to din and then I had to pay
If you f**kin with this girl then you betta be paid
You know why
It take too much to touch her
From what I heard she got a baby by Busta
My best friend say she use to f**k wit Usher
I dont care what none of ya'll say I still love her

[Chorus:]
(She give me money)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm in Need)
But she aint messin wit no broke niggas
(She give me money)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm in Need)
but she aint messin wit no broke niggas
get down girl go head get down (on your knees)
get down girl go head get down (on your knees)
get down girl go head get down (on your knees)
get down girl go head

[Verse 2:]
18 years, 18 years
She got one of yo kids got you for 18 years
I know somebody payin child support for one of his kids
His baby momma's car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV Any Given Sunday
Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was spose to buy ya shorty TYCO with ya money
She went to the doctor got lipo with ya money
She walkin around lookin like Michael with ya money
Should of got that insured, GEICO for ya moneeey
If you aint no punk holla We Want Prenup
WE WANT PRENUP!, Yeaah
It's something that you need to have
Cause when she leave yo ass she gone leave with half
18 years, 18 years
And on the 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his

[Chorus:]
(She give me money)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm in Need)
But she aint messin wit no broke nigga
(She give me money)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm in Need)
but she aint messin wit no broke nigga
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head

[Verse 3:]
Now I aint sayin you a gold digger you got needs
You dont want a dude to smoke but he can't buy weed
You go out to eat and he cant pay y'all can't leave
There's dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves
But while y'all washin watch him
He gone make it into a Benz out of that Datsun
He got that ambition baby, look in his eyes
This week he moppin floors next week it's the fries
So, stick by his side
I know his dude's ballin but yea thats nice
And they gone keep callin and tryin
But you stay right girl
But when you get on he leave yo ass for a white girl

Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
get down girl go head get down
get down girl go head
(lemme hear that back)


Uh Yea uh yea uh yea...
And i heard em say
nuthins ever promised tomorrow today

From the Chi, like Tim, its the Hardaway
So this is in the name of love like Robert say
Before u ask me to go get a job today.
can i at least get a raise
on the minimum wage.
and i know the government administered AIDS
so i guess we just pray like the minister say.
Allah o Akhbar jus throw in some hot cars
cause the things we see on the screen is not ours
but these niggas from the hood so these dreams not far
where i'm from the dope boys is the rock stars
but they can't cop cars without seeing cop cars
I guess they want us all behind bars

I know it
uhn

And i heard em say
nuthins ever promised tomorrow today
(but we'll find a way)
nothing lasts forever but be honest babe
tough, but it might be the only way)

They say people in your life for jus seasons
And anything that happen is for a reason
And niggas gun-clappin' and keep to squeezin'
And gran' keep prayin' and keep believin'
In Jesus, and one day that she'll see him
Till then in walk his footsteps and try to be him,
The devil is alive, I feel him breathin'
Claimin' money is the key, so keep on dreamin'
And put them lottery tickets just to tease us
My Aunt Pam can't put them cigarettes down,
So now my lil' cousin smokin' them cigarettes now
His job try to claim that he too niggerish now
Is it 'cause his skin blacker than licorice now?
I can't figure it out,
but I'm stickin it out

uhn

And i heard em say
nuthins ever promised tomorrow today
but we'll find a way
(nothing lasts forever but be honest babe
hurts, but it might be the only way

With every worthless word we get more far away
And nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today
And nothin lasts forever, but be honest, babe
Hurts, but it may be the only wayBasically a song about how black people are treated worse than white people, which is just a racist view.

I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra Fly......For the
day i die, I'ma touch the Sky.........
gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra Fly......For the
day i die, I'ma touch the Sky


Back when they thought pink Colors'll hurt the R.O.C
Before Cam got the shit to pop
The doors is closed
I felt like Bad Boy's Street Team
I couldn't work the L.O.X
Now lets go...
Take em back to the plan
Me and my momma hopped in that UHaul Van
Any pessimist I aint talk to them
Plus I aint have no Phone in my apart- a-ment(apartment)
Let's take em back to the club
Least about an Hour I stand on Line
I just wanted to dance
I went to Jacob an hour after I got my advance
I just wanted to shine
Jay's favorite Line "Dawg in due Time"
Now he look at me Like " damn, dawg you what I am"
a hip hop legend
I think i died in the accident
'cause this must be heaven!

I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra Fly......For the
day i die, I'ma touch the Sky.........
gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra Fly..(yeah)....For the
day i die, I'ma touch the Sky

Now let them High a i i i i. la la la la la la (top of the world baby, on top of the world!)
(Repeats 2X)


Back when Gucci was the shit to rock
back when slick rick got the shit to pop
I do anything to say i got it
Damn those new loafers hurt my pocket
before anybody wanted K. West beats
me and my girl spent a buffet at KFC
Dawg i was having nervous breakdowns
Like man these niggas that much better then me?
Baby, Im going on a Aeroplane
and i dont know if I'll be back again
Sure enough I sent the plane tickets
But when she came to kick it
things became diffrent
any girl i cheated on
sheets is skeeted on
couldnt keep it at home
thought i needed a Nia Long
im trying to right my wrongs
but its funny them same wrongs help me right this song
NOW

I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra Fly......For the
day you die, you gon touch the Sky you gon touch the sky Baby Girl!!!
testify, come up in the spot looking extra Fly......For the
day you die..You gon touch the SKY!!!!

(Lupe Fiasco)
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Guess whos on Third
Lupe steal Like Lupin the Third
Here like ear til I'm beer on the curb
Peach fuzz buzz but beard on the verge
Lets slow it down like were on the syyurrp
Bottle shaped body like Mrs Butter worth
But, before you say another word
Im back on the block like im man on the street
Im trying to stop lying (Lion) like I'm Mum Ra
But im not lying when im laying on the beat
En Garde--Touche' Lupe cool as the unthawed
But i still feel possessed as a gun charge
come as correct as a Porn star
In a fresh pair of steps in my best foreign Car
So, i represnt the first
Now let me end my verse right where the horns
are Like Unhhh


I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra Fly......For the
day you die, you gon touch the Sky you gon touch the sky Baby Girl!!!
testify, come up in the spot looking extra Fly......For the
day you die..You gon touch the SKY!!!!

Im, Im sky high (Repeats 4 times)

Sky Ungh Sky high
Im Im Sky high

Yeah keep it rolling ...Yeah!!
Ungh
Feels good to be home, baby(echoing)
Feels good to be Home(echoing)

Fade out Doesn't seem much different to what anyone else out there could sing to be honest.

And if you say, 'yeah but the 'album songs' that aren't released as singles are much different', then why doesn't he release them, I know why, because they're the songs that sell, because they're like all the other artists out there. Really getting his message across by not releasing the songs with meaningful lyircs that aren't like all the others isn't he.


Do you know why Eminem's so successful, it's because all of his songs aren't made up of words like 'holla', 'dawg', 'nigger' etc, the list goes on.
Kanye West's songs are.

[Fez]

theres nothing wrong with dawg or nigger.. well maybe nigger, a little bit. but it seems that only white kids get offended by it.

and Kanye has been pretty successful. he just kicked 50's ass on his sale albums which 50 was so cocky bout it.
i think that was a pretty big hit.
Kanye's does have meaning. no question though, emienm is better. not for not saying nigger or dawg. but his lyircs have even more meaning, and they're more controversial.

Kanye's does have meaning. no question though, emienm is better. not for not saying nigger or dawg. but his lyircs have even more meaning, and they're more controversial.It's just that they make out this big thing about it being an offfensive word and have a massive crackdown on nobody using the word, then you get 50 cent, Kanye West etc all using the words in their songs, knowing millions will copy them, seems a little stupid doesn't it.

[lucille]

Dawg is the best word ever invented
