You say he doesn't have much talent? Well being a top class producer is a talent. His best quality isn't his lyrics I agree, but when a guy has a flow so good and production so good then it makes it hard to care. Rap's about 2 primary things-the lyrics and the beats. Kanye's already got one nailed, and he's pretty good at the other one too. He's had 2 fantastic albums and he's still young-he's got plenty of time to improve.

Well this is where we disagree. alot. I don't think he has good flow. I don't think he has any flow, at all. I don't think his lyrics are bad, I think they are god awful, and that a dyslexic monkey could write better lyrics than him. He's a pretty good producer, but that alone isn't nearly enough to make up for all of his other huge shortcomings as an artist.

Lol you were being so pediantic, and yes, it is always about me. It's not the first time you've made a smart ass comment to me.

It isn't?? I wasn't being a smart ass. Like I said, nothing personal.

To be truly successful, image and talent go hand in hand. Kanye delivers on both accounts.

Oh and by the way, it's p-e-d-a-n-t-i-c. ;)

My nephews really like kayne west but they are listening to the jammxkids alot more often lately which is cool, kayne west is perfect for kids though IMO its also an appropriate hiphop group. Jammxkids is more colorful though thats for sure

Kanye West is good for kids? What? Don't you read the parental advisory stickers on it? It's not good for kids, it's rap-IMO no rap is good for kids. Rap is good, but look what it has done to society.

hahaha, look what it has done to society? are you f*cking kidding me?
so what exactly has rap done to hurt our society? portray violence in a glorifying manner? shown women in a degrading and objectifying fashion?

look at any aspect of the media, they ALL do it. don't single rap out. Rap is only doing the exact same thing that every other portion of popular media does. And you know what, they do it because it sells. Because our society was functioning this way LONG before rap existed.

I'm not denying the fact that other forms of media do it. I love rap and I always will, but you can't honestly say that Rap hasn't made things worse. Over here in England kids wearing hoodies and gold chains stand on street corners rapping, with a spliff in one hand and a bottle of Stella in the other. I know some kids that were fine before they got caught up in Rap, but now that they are caught up in it they probably have files all over the local police stations. It's not just rap, but rap really hasn't helped. I hope no-one from some goody-goody Rights group is reading this now-I don't want Rap to be banned...

hahaha, oh come on. I can honestly say that rap hasn't made our society worse. Those kids who are "caught up in rap" as you put it aren't acting like f*cking idiots, drinking their braincells away and poisoning their livers because they listed to a few rap songs. they would act the same way regardless of what kind of music they listen to.
