classicguns4life Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPzYX2_sW_0He seems pompous, but he's not wrong. And god damn it if most of what he says doesn't remind me of classic 90s Axl, ranting about whatever the hell he wanted. He even talks like Axl! "You want to antagonize me?" (12 minutes into the Youtube I posted). Hmm, now where have I heard that before?Just saying, what I find refreshing about Kanye is his ability to speak his mind, without giving a shit, and honestly making a lot of sense when he does it. Its what I always used to love about Axl and I'm happy seeing that spirit in another musician these days.

Black Sabbath Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 He's extremely talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Kanye is a more arrogant self-absorbed asshole than Axl could ever be. I don't think there's anybody in the music industry I've ever disliked as much as him. I don't think Axl was ever such a pompous douchebag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Nash Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 No talent at all and i didn't see him starting a riot or punching paparazzis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Love him or hate him, it's silly to think Kayne doesn't have talent. I hope arrogance is where the similarities end between both artists. I'd like Kayne to stick around and keep making music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but that was really bad. Check this:written by West, Ernest Wilson, Jeff Bhasker, Mike Dean and Robert Diggs. It features an opening narrative delivered by rapper Nicki Minaj, and singers Teyana Taylor and Justin Vernon contribute to the song's hook and provide background vocals. The track is built around a sample of "In High Places" by Mike Oldfield.A bunch of pll (obviously well paid) was needed to write this piece of crap over a sample or track of another crappy song. Nothing good can came out of this.I don't like that kind of music that much, but i give you 3 great tracks if you dig that:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ee5YdEOS3E Edited October 10, 2013 by Russel Nash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Kanye has already been a productive artist longer than Axl was. His influence in the industry is immense. He is to hip-hop what we wish Axl Rose was to rock music. Comparing them is absurd. Kanye wins on all fronts, except maybe stage presence, which is a dead heat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 It's a completely different genre of music, so of course you're going to have people that dislike his music.The big difference between Kanye and Axl is that Kanye believes in his greatness and releases a lot of his work. While Axl is always uncertain about everything, not releasing music, not releasing concert films, not etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Dog Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Axl was at least good or great at what he did, sing/write. Kanye is just decent at what he does, rap/write. He does have a good ear for great beats I'll give him that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magisme Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Those look more like the reviews CD got than the reviews Kanye gets. Critical reception of Kanye is hardly "split."

Still we agree that we cant compare Axl with Kanye. Thank god Kanye is only popular in the empire. Edited October 10, 2013 by Russel Nash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 In terms of music style, sure you can't compare them. But, in terms of attitude and talent, I think they can be compared.People can provide facts, "sloppy" or not backing up their opinion, but if the opposing person has their mind set, the facts won't change anything. Just because you think Twisted Fantasy is "really bad" doesn't mean Kanye doesn't have talent (which he does).I despise Nirvana and personally don't see any appeal towards them, but that doesn't mean Kurt or any of the others aren't talented.

And i see him far away for me to get affected with the massive advertising those "celebrities" gets in every possible way.But is still give him a try if he come up with something good. Something tells me that is a USA thing.I don't see ppl in Asia making a Kanye themed bar in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
