Kanye West is a singular being. He is a human work of art, this generation’s Warhol. Perhaps even more fascinating than Warhol, if less self-aware. I’m a huge fan of his brilliant public trajectory, yet I despise his music.

Interesting. I feel the exact opposite. I think he is a great artist, but I think his persona outside of the actual songs is just noise.

  I used to be on your side of the camp, but now I'm both sides. The guy just struggles with some mental health issues and isn't that great at talking to the public outside of his music. I disagree with him on some things, and he definitely has his issues, but I think he means well for the most part.

    The problem is that if you're a nobody, you can say stupid things but mean well. If you're a global celebrity, when you say stupid things, there are consequences.

  His early career is really inspiring but yea everything recently is just noise and being married to Kardashians. His shoes are doing really well, almost catching Jordan in yearly revenue.

I struggle to find anything that Kanye has ever done, in or outside of the studio, that will be held as artistically relevant or meaningful in any way in twenty years. His music isn’t groundbreaking or innovative, and anyone can be an asshole to people. At least Warhol had interesting and relevant things to say.

  I think that his music is groundbreaking and innovative, though. Here's one of the examples - https://youtu.be/ZgJyhKEZ8QU https://youtu.be/ZgJyhKEZ8QU

  Agreed. I really don't understand what people find on Kanye. All I see is someone who is clearly only focused on selling as much as possible. I am yet to find a Kanye song that felt really unique in some way. Comparing him to Warhol feels almost offensive.
