Kanye West's "Famous" video (NSFW)


I'm surprised there isn't a thread about this yet. I thought the org loved to hate Kanye.

Kanye West drops bizarre music video for 'Famous,' features nude carbon copies of Taylor Swift, Caitlyn Jenner and other stars

Ye hasn't been the same since his mother died. Getting with Kim hasn't made anything better.

He is so desparate because he knows people are bored to tears with him. Hopefully he'll just go away soon and take his slutty wife with him.

Kanye haters aren't any better than he is. They often want him dead, and say stuff like "why didn't god take him instead of Bowie and Prince". It's actually like saying you want him dead, no matter how much Prince and Bowie are worth to us fans.

Most Kanye haters aren't even hip hop fans so they're basing their opinions of him completely on his non-musical related antics. In all honesty, it's hard to blame them considering that he's become more of a media star and hasn't been on his music game since before Yeezus. Between him trying to be a fashionista and demanding Mark Zuckerberg give him a billion dollars, music has seemingly become less of a priority for Kanye; dude barely produces his own music these days.

That said, Kanye haters do take their hatred too far. A lot of them are probably still pissed at him for the whole Taylor Swift thing back in 2009 which is a pretty stupid thing to hold a grudge for nearly 7 years. However, it doesn't help that Ye felt the need to give people a reason to remember that with "Famous".

Certainly not by the general public.

Only certain hardcore hip hop heads and Kanye stans (who are making their way as one of the absolute worse fanbases in history) overrate him.

Kanye has already changed music history with College Dropout, 808 & Heartbreaks and My Beatiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. They were all game changers, no matter how they were recieved by some. Some of his other albums were also very well recieved by both music critics, fans, and are written in stone. All the haters can go cry to their mama lol

I'm not trying to defend his often weird, crazy, and sometimes childish and even mean behaviour. It's just hilarious to read self proclaimed music specialists on forums say that Kanye has no talent. It simply is not true. It's clearly just ignorance and naivity combined with hate.

Kanye West has become a media celebrity.It's no longer about the music anymore.The focus is on his crazy antics and dumb behavior.Instead of being a respectable artist,he'd rather be a shameless media whore....constantly in the news for his Twitter beefs and feuds with other celebrities.It's a shame that this is how he chooses to present himself.

Looks like it is streaming on his website for the moment.....

https://www.kanyewest.com/

Well, I watched. Did you? I wonder which of the people in this video are real and which are fake? Cosby, Trump and Bush and Brown are fake. I'm guessing Taylor Swift is fake too . I hear it took 3 months to make it.

What kind of problem do you think he has?

I find most of his comments so over the top that I have a hard time believing that he really means what he says.

I mean, he is smart, his mom was a teacher, he is talented....the only thing that makes me scratch my head are some of his hysterical, way over the top remarks.

I´m pretty ignorant when it comes to CGI. How on earth did they create those carbon copies of those celebrities? Lookalikes? CGI ?

I heard Taylor Swift wasn´t very happy to be included in the video.

Also, what´s the message he is trying to convey?

And why did he put RayJ, of all people, in the video? He´s only famous for being Brandy´s brother and for having sex with Kim Kardashian.

It's not CGI. They're wax models.

Thanks. I never would´ve guessed that.

To me it looked like some of them were moving a little bit, but I guess it it´s wax models they don´t move. lol

Weird to see Prince fans being so narrow minded. There's a difference between having a creative mind and physically knowing how to play well. Good instrumentalists are a combination of ear, memory, muscle memory, problem solving etc... you can have all of these except the muscle memory and knowledge of a guitar, and still be able to compose. Do you think every architect are using the tools needed to build their drawings? Music is the same thing. And yes, Kanye are very good at composing with samplers, drum mschines, knows how to pick music in pieces, then make hits out of old and new sounds. I think you'd have a tiny bit different view on him, if you actually knew how he put sounds together. He just don't really care that much anymore.

i would have loved for early kanye collaborate with prince. his early loops and samples shit on kirk's. i'm afraid he has lost the plot and hooking up with the kk clan has only made him look like a clown. and WTF with clothes line! was he serious? he needs to fall back and regroup/refocus.
