Then he'd be wrong. Kanye blew up before anybody knew his personality and already had a lucrative career as a producer prior. He's very talented. In fact, his fame is usually despite his personality.

I hope he says Kanye so that we can laugh at him for being an old man.

misses the point

they made great music the musicians themselves were certainly amateurs which is part of the liberation factor of this music it's an assault on meritocracy

but people talk like they were studio musicians that played sloppy on purpose

I often check how technically proficient each musician is at their instrument through wikipedia and award on a scale from 1-10

I then multiply the band technical average by how many albums they sold

in this way I can efficiently decide who my favorite bands are without having to listen to any music!
