If you hate on Kanye, you obviously don't understand marketing and business. Say what you want about his music wether you like him or not he's a smart man and sells himself well. Every time he says something outlandish he breaks the Internet. And when he does he gains 1,000 haters but 10,000 more fans. He's just selling himself and he's doing a good job of it.

Kanye is the man whether you like him or not, he's the type to not give a fuck about what people tell him and majority of the people get inspired by that cause there's a lot of people that bring other people down which is not the way to go... I love him for this. #1 fan

[@donnaeasty1816]

He brings everyone down didn't he say whiz owes him his son and that Bob Erskine the Rolling Stones writers children should be ashamed of their father and Bob's son was murdered a few yrs ago. Yes Kanye is such an upstanding person.

[@TheKayOss]

#1 fan ?? It appears Kanye has a slot open for you in the #2 spot after himself. The definition of someone NOT giving a fuck is someone who DOESNT have to tell you they don't. They just do. Sadly he went wacky after his mother died but beyond that he is no longer interesting. I truely feel sorry for Kim. All that money and she hooked herself to that... 😖 Imagine trying to disagree with him on anything. He can argue skin off a snake. You can't make no €ents from nonsense. Lucky for him his wife's got deep pockets. You only find him original because you haven't explored much musically or artistically. Check out mc solaar krs1 roots manuva yawn this top 40 shit makes my throat hurt from hacking. Like I've said before do not confuse popularity with talent. Popularity equals mediocrity.

[@tempfan5547]

+sherbertdjones umm yeah...thats probly pretty much what anybody have ever said lol...not exactly a genius advice

[@diggylatrelle]

+Temp Fan but he has expressed this in a way no one has ever done for the 10+ years he has done this. And the reason he gets so much hate is because he is very ahead of his time. VERY. LIKE INSANELY AHEAD. LIKE LIGHTYEARS AHEAD. And its hard for people not in his situation that can see these experiences through his eyes so therefore I understand when people hate kanye. they just not on his level. He has tooken a normal concept and elevated it to the highest point that the average human being can't comprehend anymore. or at least that's how I see it.

Upscale Avenue listen to his music, he was years ahead of everyone and changed so much about the music and fashion industries

[@loveharrydaily]

CARAT ARMY genius is subjective but, to me the only way Kanye can achieve true musical genius is to create an album without any samples or do an album in a completely different genre and see how it holds up. That's the test to me. Beethoven did it in his day by the writing of his hands, defying all musical rules of the time... while deaf. 👀

[@reggiebushrules]

So you didn't make the connection when he mentioned Taylor? That people loved on both sides loved bagging on either Taylor or Kanye for the "beef" when just a couple weeks ago, 22 people were murdered. He's been trying to help out his hometown for years, to try and deter violence in the city, and yet people are concerned about a song he made and the fact that two rich celebrities are "beefing" rather than the bigger problems? I see. He said nothing at all..huh?

[@zonx27]

Some of y'all need to respect this man. He has done so much for the art of music. Whether you like him as a person or not is a different story. All the real fans know what's up.

[@63crimson]

As someone who loves his old songs, I can say in my opinion, his new stuff is trash. You don't have like everything someone does to be a "real fan". That's just being a sheep. These days he's making himself look like an idiot.
