That's a good start on the list of things I'd call him but woefully incomplete. 
I know why he said this: The way Kanye dresses and his whole image is kinda a turnoff to alot of hip hop fans. They say he's gay because he's into fashion and that he's not from the hood. I saw alot of music fans root for Kanye but alot of hip hop fans in general root for 50 back in September. In reality, the guy is pretty talented and unique. He's not cut from the same cloth as alot of his peers I like him because his whole sense of style is similar to mine. This is something that I'd wear :
[Edited 6/25/08 10:14am] he looks like a fashion victim, he would make an excellent cameo on AbFab if they still produced that show. | |

 Don't be talkin' about my great fashion sense! starts swinging red suspenders around "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

That's because I'm so utterly awesome "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Well like i said Kanye is this decades PUFFY and those who dont think so, you are not looking deep. The content of lyrics may be different, but lets be real, the flow, the gimmicks, the ego's, the clothing lines, the persona of being gods, its all the same, and now rants on a website, Hmmmm did Puffy do this a few years ago with his daily fucking Myspace videos and blogs, word to Kanye....Puffy is calling, he wants a %% for use of his tricks.

I just don't know what to make of him. just when I think he's a complete arrogant prick I see him on SNL pretending to be outraged because he didn't win the Nobel Prize for physics, or complaining about Lebron hosting the show over him "Give a brother a chance...give a SMALL brother a chance!!!"
I think maybe his tantrums are schtick My Legacy

i like that he steals from kinda of avant garde hipster culture and recycles it into his own thing. the choice of artist for his most recent album cover, the daft punk nods, the crazy sci-fi road show, the geek-ass 80s new wave sunglasses, the han solo costumes. it's all derivative as can be, but he's the only hip-hop artist bothering to try for an image that's even just a little bit different - plus he actually dares to record up-tempo rap songs, which i thought was illegal in this day and age - so i have to give him a little bit of credit, even though i still think he's kinda irritating. i'd take his music over all that thuggy "UH! UH! UH!" crap anytime. | |

Kanye along with Pharrell and Lupe Fiasco were major contributors to the Hipster scene "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

It's just sad that HE's the alternative. Remember when there was actually alternative hip-hop that got mainstream exposure and wasn't buried underground????  And I'm not counting Gnarls Barkley cuz sumthin ain't right about them.  | |

IMO, Kanye West comes off as dorky and wanting to be "the smartest guy in the room." It's like someone took U.T.F.O.'s The Educated Rapper, made him a solo act this decade and gave him a self-centered attitude. | |

I know they're out there. I guess I'm too old and lazy to dig for them in the obscure bin. Dealing with Prince for the past 25 years wore my ass out. And not in a good way.  | |
