Stupid Requests with Jessica Who?: Busted keyboard eeeeeeeeeeee-dition

by Jessica Who?, 10/03/2007

I hate Kanye West. 

but I love this song.

but can I take a moment for a big "WTF?" I guess if you can't beat 'em, join em....or totally steal them?

He cries about losing to justice and spending a million dollars on a video, then hires the guys that did the d.a.n.c.e. video to do his. "Can I win now? What about now? c'mon...please? What if I change my name to Daft West? How about Kanye Justice? Pleeeeeease guuuuuuys???" This guy sucks at life.  If you give a crap about giving more money to this arrogant douche, go see him at Bang on November 10th. Or don't. 

I meant to keep this post simple, but I think I'm angry at myself for liking this Kanye song, so I had to get a little frustration out first. This song did inspire my original post idea, which was, hip-hop that makes me happy. Doesn't always have to be crazy new. Pretty simple. Here you go. 

my favorite...

There's a video somewhere with Kanye on TRL where he pretty honestly states that he thought the "D.A.N.C.E." video was brilliant and that he wouldn't have minded losing to that, but that the "We Are Your Friends" was too simple and stupid.

Besides, the more exposure So-Me gets, the better.

As annoying as he can be, he is a fairly unique class of celebrity and especially rapper. He's an arrogant cry-baby, but at least he can make fun of himself honestly and appears slightly humbled by saying stupid things.

And in the end? Who cares. The music is still good. He's still got an inferiority complex as a result of his issues and he strives to do better. The only people who win there is us.

Check out this SNL skit with Kanye, it's pretty big for him to do.

Also, Stronger is the jam. Compared to Busta and Will.i.am (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLMhqtNxRBU), Kanye looks like a fucking genius as to he tastefully he used the HBFS sample.

God, for an arrogant cry baby, Kanye sure does mind copying other people. I would have at least demanded So-Me to not BLATANTLY do that same video they did before. And Stronger sucks balls! When is everyone going to finally admit it.

His attempts to downplay his arrogance and stupidity on SNL are lame.

*yawn*

Fucking Kanye SUCKS!! i can't stand him or his idea stealing music. why can't anyone make their own music anymore. i can't so i don't call myself a musician. he's just a crybaby wanting attention. he thinks he's the shit, he is SHIT. anyway, i just had to say my two cents because it was a sin to disrespect Daft Punks song that way.

@grizz: you can't just blame kanye for 'stealing' daft punk's song though... i'm no kanye fan, but i think it's the kind of thing daft punk would appreciate. they are pastiche artists extraordinaire; check any of their liner notes. in fact, compare 'harder, better, faster, stronger' to 'cola bottle baby' by edwin birdsong. they actually had to give mr. birdsong partial songwriting credits on that track.

you can hear it here. the main riff is pretty much lifted wholesale.

almost every single one of daft punk's songs are based on samples (with the exception of around the world before someone jumps down my throat). on top of edwin birdsong, listen to 'release the beast' by breakwater. one more time, digital love, face to face, are all based on samples. but i still hate kanye.
toot toot. beep beep.

The issue isn't the sampling. It's the guy's fucking attitude.

kanye says the same fucking words - "if you can't beat em, join em"
