    The greatest artist over the past decade for me would probably be Common. He sticks to the same rhythm of old, and he is deep lyrically.

    No, being great is a measure of greatness.
    but most people don't think Kanye is great they just like to point and laugh at him because he's such a friggen idiot. I'm not denying he makes catchy but the guy is one of the biggest idiots ever.

    Can someone explain why Kanye is an idiot? The Taylor Swift fiasco was blown out of proportion, & the diamond teeth were a bit much but is there anything in particular that warrants all the hate? Years back I thought he was one of the best hip hop acts out there. He had the balls to do songs like Diamonds are Forever & Jesus Walks that made me think that commercial rap wasn't going completely down the drain.

    Kanye West IS hip hop, but he is ALSO pop. And he is definitely a DICK. His interview with Matt Lauer earlier this month just confirmed what most people already know.

    I think that a lot of people think Kanye is great. Most of his albums so far have had rave reviews (only 808s and Heartbreak tended to divide people somewhat), he's hardly like a figure where people solely pay attention to him to see what faux pas he'll get up to next.

    And yes, he's an idiot who does daft things, nobody really denies that. But (to make this clear for the umpteenth time) I. Don't. Care. That has nothing to do with his musical ability.

    I thought Doctor's Advocate was better than his first album. At least he dropped most of the name dropping
    This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...
