People are upset that Kanye wants to make a David Bowie tribute album

Because it will somehow taint Bowie's music... I guess?

Mordo · January 20, 2016, 11:03:28 AM

As long as he doesn't rendition his songs I don't really see the problem.

I mean, it's not like I'm going to listen to it anyway.

Eh, I don't really care for that nigger. If anything, I just hate his shitty narcissistic attitude.

Why? Kanye is twice the musician that Bowie was.

Mr. Psychologist · January 20, 2016, 11:18:23 AM

I don't care for his music, but I don't mind kanye.

People give him endless shit and wonder why he acts strangely. IIRC some of the weirder shit he did was after his mother died, so it's not really right to hold that against him.

The other one that comes to mind is that bastarding papparazi sat outside his house at god knows what in the morning taunting him so he could get some footage of 'shocking: kanye swears at reporter!!!

' for his clickbait / toilet rag magazine.

If he wants to do it, why should anyone stop him? If they don't like it, they don't have to listen to it. There are shitty covers and tribute songs in abundance, they really don't matter.

The Lord Ruler · January 20, 2016, 11:21:24 AM

Why would a musician making a tribute to another musician make people upset?

That's just autistic to get upset about.

That's the consequence for marrying a Whoredashian.

As ghastly as those ladies are, it doesn't really matter who he chooses to marry imo

It's the same principle as gay marriage, nobody should really give a shit when it has no bearing on their life.

Kanye is the GOAT haterz eat my ass

Kanye basically did for Hip Hop what Bowie did for rock. He's an icon that changed the genre.

The people bashing him are just aspies.

Tfw Kanye was an awesome musician and none of his public antics are genuine.

People who discount Kanye's skill as a musician just because of his antics and public image are equivalent in worth to people who still watch The Big Bang Theory and put text over images in order to "make a meme".

Kanye literally did nothing new to the rap genre.

Are you fucking kidding? Kanye is arguably the most consistently influential mainstream hip hop artist of all time.

OT: he can't sing for shit, so I don't really want to hear him cover Bowie's music.

Jono · January 20, 2016, 02:29:47 PM

He's nowhere near Eminem's level and never will be.

Woah. No. I don't hate Kanye, but really, not even close.

I don't see how they are comparable, but okay.

he's basically saying if you don't like kanye just because he plays this arrogant, narcissistic character in public, you don't know what you're talking about, and you're most likely a suburban white twentysomething who listens to weezer and arctic monkeys and shit

and plays sudoku

Nowhere near Eminem's level of producing shitty albums, you mean? Em is definitely a better technical rapper, but he hasn't come out with anything decent in years, whereas Kanye's last album was incredible and subversive of the genre.
