Response to Nyas love of Kanye

Ok let me start off by saying kanye west is an amazing artist and he makes some hot ass songs......Ok now i have to say Kanye West is exactly how you shouldnt become when you get money, he is the most selfish, tempermental a**hole ive ever seen. I also hate what he represents, whatever Kanye West wears becomes a new fashion trend and he steals these fashion trends from tokyo, gay men and OG LoHeads. I have nothing against his music but his personality and ego is whats wrong with the music business, and the fact that he stands up for chris brown beating rihanna to a pulp makes it even worse. I know his mother died and all.....before that he wasnt assss bad but hes officially gone insane. There was a video of him talking about his new louiss vuitton shoe and it clearly showed that he wasnt mentally stable......either way he makes good music but idolizing him is no good seeing the fact that everything he uses and wears is stolen and samples. Auto-Tune came from T-Pain and half of his other albums have sampled tracks on them.....i think people should idolize the originals.....those are the really creative people not the samplers



On that note ima put on my Frank Sinatra and ride out to the beat

In that case no rapper is worth idolizing unless they make their own beats.

and as for the style part..In some regard everyone is stealing (I GUESS if you want to look at it that way) Kanye West just happens to "steal" from lesser known uhhh entities?If he were still in white tee's and levi's people would hate that too.
