Anything off of College Dropout is classic. After that he confused weird for genius and became one of the biggest douche bags on earth. He is basically the dude version Lady Gaga (bought his own hype; overrates himself; dresses/acts like a freakshow). If I were to see him somewhere I'd slap the **** out of him. That he is popular now says way more about the audience than it does about him.

Personal issues I may have with some of his behavior does not stop me from truly being a fan of his music and talents. His first album was amazing from start to finish.

He lost the one person who has been his rock and he fell apart. That does not make it acceptable to act the way he does but as someone who has lost (as I'm sure most of us have) we turn into different people while we mourn and make sense of it all.

This is a direct quote from Kanye (I kid you not):

I am where art meets commercial. The sweet spot between the hood and Hollywood. Having a conversation with Karl Lagerfeld and Jay-Z within the same hour. When we’re in Paris dressing all crazy at fashion shows....

WHAT??? Those can only be the words of the most ignorant person on earth. You don't say stuff like that without deserving to get slapped.

And no way Niggas in Paris can be a top Kanye song, since he got absolutely murdered by Jay-Z in the song. If you get embarrassed by another artist on a song, then it cannot be one of your "greatest hits."

Your thoughts on Watch the Throne??? I find myself thinking that Kanye outshines Jay-Z on much of the album...I can absolutely listen to Murder for Excellence everyday of the week...

Eh. Watch the Throne was a cash grab, IMO. I'm also old and of the opinion that good hip-hop ceased to exist after the Black Album. (Maybe there is a good song or two here and there, but by and large the genre has jumped the shark.) I just find Kanye to be a difficult person to take seriously at this point. He's definitely talented, but he's still a joke. Could be the least self-aware person I've ever seen.

Kanye's fishsticks song may be his best recent work.

If you guys get a chance, watch the runaway video on YouTube vevo. It's half an hour long but it is breathtaking. a true work of art. Also, I thought my beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy was a very good album.

Not sure of my favorite, but I think ND needs to incorporate All Of The Lights into the Michigan game somehow. Just the beginning would work.

I'm thinking turn off as many lights add possible then blast the first part of the music in the video (with some black and white footage of practice if the jumbotron is installed :)). Then when the actual song starts, turn on a spot light at the team huddled in the tunnel with helmets shining, followed by the team running on the field with all of the stadium lights turning on. Probably wouldn't even be able to hear the band playing the Victory March.

Video for people that haven't seen it.

Niggas In Paris has such and addictive beat. lol It's been my song lately.

Did nobody say Homecoming? Again, the beat is what makes it so addictive, but Kanye does a much better rapping in Homecoming than Paris.

Niggas in Paris is just pure fun.
