Kanye for president in 2020!

Someone please tell me this is bullshit and he's not really serious.. If it were just about any other "artist" I would automatically assume it was just a joke. But he is so fucking full of himself, I have a hard time believing he's NOT serious.
Quote:
Bro, bro, listen to the kids. Jeremy, I got to put it down for a second, it's beautiful, Jeremy Scott designed... First of all, thank you Taylor for being so gracious and giving me this award this evening. And I often think back to the first day that I met you. Also, you know, I think about when I'm in the grocery store with my daughter and I have a really great conversation about fresh juice, you know, and at the end they say, "You're not that bad after all." And I think about it sometimes, like it crosses my mind when I go to a baseball game and 60,000 people boo me. It crosses my mind a little bit.
And I think, if I had to do it all again, what would i have done? Would I have worn a leather shirt? Would I have drank half a bottle of Hennessy and given the rest to the audience? Y'all know you drank that bottle too. If I had a daughter at that time, would I have went on stage and grabbed the mic from someone else's...
You know this arena, tomorrow, it's gonna be a completely different set up or something like that. This stage will be gone. After that night, the stage will be gone, but the effect it had on people will remain. The problem was the contradiction. The contradiction is: I do fight for artists, but in that fight I somehow was disrespectful to artists. I didn't know how to say the right thing, the perfect thing. I just... I sat at the Grammys and saw Justin Timberlake and Cee-Lo lose. Gnarls Barkley and the Future Sex album... Justin, I ain't trying to put you on blast but I saw that man in tears, bro. And I was thinking like, he deserves to win album of the year. And this small box that we are in as the entertainers of the evening. How could you explain that? Sometimes I feel like, you know, all this bullshit that they run about beef and all that, sometimes I feel like I died for the artist's opinion. For the artists to be able to have an opinion after they were successful. I'm not no politician, bro. And look at that. You know how many times MTV ran that footage again? 'cause it got them more ratings. You know how many times they announced that Taylor was gonna give me the award? 'cause it got them more ratings. Listen to the kids, bro.
I still don't understand award shows. I don't understand how they get five people who worked their entire life one sold records, sold concert tickets, to come stand on a carpet and for the first time in their life be judged on a chopping block and have the opportunity to be considered a loser. I don't understand it, brah. I don't understand when the biggest album and the biggest video... I've been conflicted, bro! I just wanted people to like me more. Fuck it bro.
Two thousand and fifteen. I will die for the art, for what I believe in. The art ain't always gonna be polite. Y'all might be thinking right now, "I wonder, did he smoke something before he came here?" The answer is yes, I rolled up a little something to knock the edge off. I don't know what's gonna happen tonight. I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, bro. But all I can say to my artist, my fellow artist, just worry about how you feel at the time man. Just worry about how you feel and don't never... I'm confident, I believe in myself. We the millennials, bro. This is a new mentality. We're not gonna control our kids with brands. We're not gonna teach low self esteem and that to our kids. We gonna teach our kids that they can be something. We're gonna teach our kids that they can stand up for themselves. We're gonna teach our kids to believe in themselves. If my grandfather was here right now he would not let me back down. I don't know what I'm finna lose after this, but don't matter though cause it's not about me. It's about ideas bro, new ideas bro. People with ideas. People who believe in truth. And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president.

I dunno whether to facepalm hard enough to give myself a concussion or laugh hysterically at the thought of him even thinking he has any kind of chance.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I hate kanye but I would probably rather see him taken seriously as a candidate over Trump...
Me thinks its time to get the fuck out of the states

Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

Damn, you beat me to it Shroomslip!
Honestly, I'm curious on what he's actually going to use as platforms, or if he's just gonna say fuck this shit and wing it.
It'll be about as hilarious as Donald Trump. But let's be honest now, I bet you he'd be running a campaign to end the drug war. He says Fatherhood has changed him, I'll at least listen to him
Wonder if he's gonna try and run third party though

I really hope he does run. His campaigning is going to bring so much fucking lulsy gold.
I can already imagine the debates.. "Yo <other candidate> I'm happy for you and Imma let you finish, but I'll be the best president of all time!". Then at some point he's going to refuse to answer questions until everyone stands up, including the paraplegic.
If you really need any further convincing on how hilarious his run will be: http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/blogs/suzannah-ramsdale/545140/the-best-kanye-west-quotes.html
He admits he doesn't read books, ever. How the fuck is he going to read through bills and shit "Yo it's whatever man, lemme sign this shit and just get back to talking about how great I am already."

Some of those quotes man! 
Quote:
You should only believe about 90 percent of what I say. As a matter of fact, don’t even believe anything that I’m saying at all. I could be completely fucking with you, and the world, the entire time.'
Maybe this speech was about that. He did say he was high, and thought he was Donald Trump for a second 
Some of his quotes aren't that WTF though. "When you’re the absolute best, you get hated on the most." While not always true, popular people do get tons of shit for doing nothing wrong. But they'll usually get tons more for being an idiot.
Reading those quotes make me feel like he has Multiple Personalities or something. A few of them are at least somewhat down to earth, and other ones are just so egotistical it's crazy. He did say the voices in his head told him to walk up on stage...

He definitely has the over-inflated ego for the job. I'm assuming his platform would consist of fishdicks primarily.

hate on kanye all ya want but dude is a musical genius. no doubt in my mind about that...what would be the ramifications if he was actually elected president though? 129 million voted in the last presidential election (66m for Obama). There will be about ~26-27m 18-24 year olds in 2020...what if the rest of the vote is split between actual candidates and the majority of the young voters actually get out in vote and kanye becomes president...idk just thinking out loud

Yeah after he said he was a lyrical genius I went looking through a bunch of his shit just to make sure he wasn't. He writes lyrics like I wrote poetry when I was 15. My poetry fucking sucks.

Look at the above lyrics and now look at these lil jon lyrics
Quote:
I fell off in the club (shawty) Not lookin' for love (shawty) But I'm lookin' for a gul (shawty) For I could cut (shawty) Like little mama in the blue (shawty) She so got damn cute (shawty) But she say she need cheese (shawty) Before she dip wit' me (shawty) Well let me see (shawty) What it might be (shawty) And what's ya' fee (shawty) For my fantasy (shawty) Now I ain't rich (shawty) But I spend a little bit (shawty) So who you wit? (shawty) Let's do this shit (shawty)
How do they really differ? I'm really not gonna waste a bunch of time proving my case, even though I damn sure could. I really can't tell if I'm being trolled or not 
They are extremely comparable.

obviously y'all aren't going to change your minds cause you have this preconceived notion of Kanye...but if you want to at least try to understand where people are coming from when they say Kanye is a good hiphop artist read this at least... https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/1hl2dh/guide_to_kanye_west/
I get if you're not into hiphop then you might think he's a joke but if you are into it at all you have to give the dude props

I'm not into it, but I do listen to some of it. Lately it's mostly just been NF. I wouldn't say he's a lyrical genius, but he's leaps and bounds ahead of Kanye as a whole. I'll admit I have a preconceived notion of him, but I honestly did go look up a lot of his lyrics after you said that shit. I stand by what I said.
No, you're not gonna change my mind. There's really nothing that can. His level of writing really is on par with my poetry when I was an angsty, depressed teen. There's nothing brilliant or extraordinary about how he strings together the words he uses. It literally reads as if he picked two ending words and wrote sentences around those two words just to rhyme. There's no natural flow, it's just all so forced.

I like Kanye's music too, though not as much as I used to. I only think he's a moderately decent lyricist, but he is definitely an extremely talented artist. As an aspiring producer myself I take a lot of influence from his production work which was fucking revolutionary. He defined the new sound of rap in the late '00s. You might be able to write better lyrics than him, but I can guarantee that no one on these forums could make a better beat than Kanye 
He'd be just as garbage a president as any other, but I'd vote for him if I somehow ended up at the polls.
I hate all the blind hip-hop hate on the Shroomery, it makes me very sad It's one thing not to enjoy the music but to trash an entire culture just because you don't like the attitudes of some of its proponents is just ignorance.

yea lyrical genius may have been a bit of a stretch...but he's definitely a talented artist and producer
most of his best lines were written for him, but the fact that he's in the position for talented lyricists to write for him is a testament to his talent

Some people honestly talk about him like he's on Nas' level and shit He's definitely only mediocre at best in my book but he has his moments.
This song in particular has some really dope lines, I feel like this is one of the few songs where he put a lot of effort into sounding like a dope lyricist

Yeah he's serious. These two aren't even comparable. Lil John is a joke made popular by Dave Chappelle.
Listen to beautiful dark twisted fantasy.. dude can write and produce. Best since Jimmy Page probably(okay, not that good but that's what we're takin about)
Yeezy season up in this..
Lol, worst comparison ever. And shows your lack of knowledge on the music industry. Everyone knows zep stole a shit ton of music, but you are using page as an example of how good kaynes writing is?
You want to hear good lyrics/peotry, go listen to some pac. No one will argue with that statement.

A lot of rap/ hip hop comes across as really disrespectful so why should it matter 
I have respect for some rappers and producer's but Kanye is most definitely not one of them. Even the ones I do respect I almost never listen to because I find the whole genres very over hyped and mediocre 99% of the time.

It only comes off that way because you don't take the time to understand what's really going on 
Bums me out when a self-described "music lover" decides to write off an entire genre (possibly my favorite one at that) as "over hyped and mediocre". But it's not my loss.

As an aspiring producer myself I take a lot of influence from his production work which was fucking revolutionary. He defined the new sound of rap in the late '00s. You might be able to write better lyrics than him, but I can guarantee that no one on these forums could make a better beat than Kanye 
He'd be just as garbage a president as any other, but I'd vote for him if I somehow ended up at the polls.

Pls, I know multiple people on this forum that can make vastly better music/beats. And he's not even a hip-hop artist  So fuck him and all he represents

Where did I write it off? 
If I didn't take the time to understand it why would I say I respect certain rappers and producers...
Please enlighten us then, what is "really going on"
Most of the rap I hear now adays is complete crap, as bad or worse then most popular electronic "music" if you can call it that.
As a genre I find it pretty weak, sure there are talented producers and rappers spreading positive messages and ideals. Maybe like 2-5%? If that.
For it to be "my loss" I would have to have never gotten into it. I own several tribe called quest vinyls, and an MF Doom vinyl plus a few others.
Even though I respect said artists I never listen to them anymore, when I was younger sure but now there is so so much better stuff I would rather get into.

Here is where you wrote it off. You don't have to listen to it if you don't want to, but as someone who finds more than 1% of hip hop worthwhile music I took offense.
Doom and ATCQ are good but far from being among the only worthwhile artists in the entire genre.
I'm not gonna argue with you because we obviously have different tastes, but I find it disrespectful when people shit on entire genres just because they don't like what they perceive to be representative of the genre. Unshroomy, even.

You have to admit most of the "popular" rap now adays is total crap.
99% was clearly me exaggerating but the point remains the same. So much rap just comes across as stupid and perpetuates some shitty ideals imo.
I admitted there are solid artists spreading good ideals too but how many rap songs are there about fucking sluts, making money, and abusing drugs?
I didn't say those are the only two worthwhile hip hop artists those are just two I will always have some respect for, there are others I respect too.
I could post some videos here as examples but I won't becouse it would be painful to my ears to find them

I don't have to and I won't I enjoy a lot of popular hip hop that people constantly deride based on subject matter (rappers like Young Thug, Lil Wayne (I do HATE a lot of his shit though ), and Future). I don't listen to artists solely because they "spread good ideals" and I don't think that an artist's MUSIC is unworthy of merit on account of their lifestyle. I love Burzum's music and the dude is a fucking Nazi idiot. Likewise, I love Fredo Santana even though he's a sociopath who only raps about killing people, selling drugs, and making money. If it sounds good, I will listen to it.
That being said, a very good amount of new rappers have subject matter that deviates from these kinds of themes. I could share some if you were curious but I have a feeling you're not interested.
@Twighead, Kanye has made much better beats than the one you shared (which is not even a hip hop beat, though it's not bad by any means). Here's a couple examples:
Of course I'm not gonna convince you but I gotta back up what I say with some proof, right?

every type of music can be ridicule when the entire culture is demonized and rediculized .
IMO music is good if my brain likes it and thats pretty much the only criteria for me. I basicly like every style of music. the only thing that is important is that my brain cells are dancing.
Vibes and energy and uniqueness is a plus, lyrics some times*,(*english isnt my first language kinda hard to understand most of the time,it can be a plus some time but overall I love music period)
Really diggin young thug recently even tho I been a punk and metal head most of my life

That is true as music like all art is subjective. Art is about exploration though and many modern artists are lacking in originality and soul.
All the best music comes from the soul IMO and a lot of modern music is all about the ego.
I love some feelgood music as much as the next guy and have listened to plenty but my favorite music is the stuff that really makes me think. Music where people are pushing boundaries with their raw creativity and talent. Lyrics don't even matter to me to an extent though I love some nice deep poetic lyrics too. I want deep vivid soundscapes that will inspire me.
So much modern music just sounds like repetitive crap to me becouse it is lacking in much of the substance I seek in music

If you don't hold all music to the same standard, you'll find yourself enjoying things you never would have realized is worthwhile.
Many modern artists are pretty lacking in soul, sure, most of the shit you hear on the radio is only made to sell records, not to really connect with people, and a lot of it is bad for that reason. But there's plenty of artists out there in 2015 who put so much soul into their music, many of them rappers/producers.
This is just one man's opinion and I don't expect to convince you but I know good music when I hear it and I listen to rap for a reason.
Anyway I'm sorry for derailing this thread, if you wanna continue this in PM sure but I don't think either of us are going to convince each other anything

Off the top of my head, when it comes to hiphop/rap/whatever it's called now, I'd gladly listen to:
Canibus KRS-One Method Man Mos Def Alias Clay Disl automatic.
Hell even Old Dirty Bastard who is a joke but I'd rather listen to these guys than than whack joke that is Kayne "gay fish i dun read books" West.
Also his music is shit.

I feel like Kanye is so self-absorbed and egomanical, that he doesn't realize half of the words that form from his vocal chords. - I guess most politicians are that way.
He would be detrimental to our Nation and World as a whole, even more so than the usual assortment of Rebloodicans and Democrips...
What's worse is that as others have stated, he would command a huge voter following from the young voter collective.

alot of hiphop culture is trash, but also there's some really good shit out there that aint all about bitches and hoes. the shit stays underground doe and never makes it to mainstream. all in all tho hiphop has infinite potential in the way one could express themselves and pretty much anyone can do it, that's why it it is so universal, and that is why u see alot of dumbmies rapping about bitches n hoes. but i mean it aint all bad.

If anyone thinks Shame on a Nigga is a bad song, Then I musically don't know where you are coming from. I consider early Wu-Tang on par with some of the best folk music, which is what rap is: Modern Folk Music. However like most genres, most rap music I find shitty or boring.

I stand by what I said I'm never gonna rip on any "generation's music" because every generation has its share of good and bad music, and I still consider it disrespectful to blindly trash an entire culture. But I ain't gonna tell you what to do.
By the way, thank you for letting me know about

I've started to think he might be mentally ill, or possibly schizophrenic with some of the quotes he is saying.

He always seemed brainwashed or something to me.
The way he tries to make a point but goes about saying it as if he was just told to believe that or some shit and not genuinely feels what he is saying.
I have seen him talk about some stuff like that where you can tell he is trying to be real and make a good point but twists the fuck out of it.
Could just be symptoms of mental illness thought

Kanye West claimed he will be the next Nelson Mandela. Does he even know who that is? He probably thinks it's just a sandwich or something

I get if you're not into hiphop then you might think he's a joke but if you are into it at all you have to give the dude props
I love hip-hop, and like most other mainstream artists that are the modern rappers and not the OG's. Jokes. YMCMB fucking horrible, killing a fucking art form. And kanye is such a self centered sack of shit. I see zero reason for him to be. I can name 20 other rappers that deserve more recognition that this bitch-tittied hack.

I'm a huge fan of hip hop and rap, to say Kanye is talented in the least bit laughable. He is just like 2 chains and drake and numerous terrible mainstream rappers.

Some of those rappers like 2 chains are so bad it hurts.
Lately my cable has been spamming this song "Watch Me" and it sounds like some satirical rap from Boondocks or something....

I have never heard kanye spit like this. Not even close. And pun isn't in my top faves.
Never have I heard kanye try to get a strong political message across using rap to educate (imo TRUE ART) instead he's all about this "illuminati" jockin jay-z's dick BS
and never ever ever have I heard the man use word play as good as slim. ever. may I add as quick and rapid fire as slim does in certain songs too.

That pretty much sums it up for me too 
I have legitimately considered trying to become a rapper after hearing some of the garbage that is popular now adays...
I feel like it would be one of the easier ways to get rich with minimal creative effort fuck that though.

50 cent is a pretty damn good rapper. I wouldn't really call him super mainstream anymore though. A lot of mainstream "rappers" suck.
But lil wayne isn't really that bad either. Though definitely not the best lyricist. In person I've heard he's a pretty nice guy too.

Wayne has been garbage for more than half his career at this point, but for a while he had some talent, made a lot of quality material (though admittedly even his good stuff ain't for everyone) and really impacted the rap game. I'm definitely guilty of blindly hating on him in the past, though.
I'm gonna have to leave this thread, though, too many comments are setting me off

kayne aint the greatest, but he makes some pretty cool beats.
drake, although not a big fan, makes a nice addition to the mainstream rap scene. he's alright im my book.
dont know much about 2chains, im pretty sure i;ve heard some of his shit before tho, im sure he's alright too.

not bad, the beat was banging.  
it is not necessarily the type of music u play while u're trying to read a book, na u play this shit when u're on that lean(jk), or when u're drunk n shit. it's all about those feels, the hard bass are comforting n shit too.

The beat was not as bad as I expected but the lyrics sound like something some of my immature friends would have said as a freshman in high school.
Possibly while really drunk.
If I want a nice beat I will listen to some MF Doom or some Nujabes or something. Or a band with a real rhythm section

there's a beat for everything, depends on ur current mood imho. like for example i love jdilla, nujabes, mf doom, beats etc.. but i like to save em for a rainy day. specially when im high as a kite.
but like those dirty south rap beats, they annoy me at certain times, usually when im sobered up or just not really in the mood, although some of them are always good sober or not. but yea man those kinds of beats u gotta bump em full blast with a sick subwoofer n shit to reap the maximum results, try it and i'll bet u'll turn to a fan over night.
i agree tho alot of times the lyrics just dont make any sense, but i think that is the point, the voices just compliment the beat, so peeps arent just listening to a straight up beat n shit.
