Kanye is seen as one of the best musicians of his time and his sneakers have become a culture staple at this point. Literally top .0001 percent in both mediums of art.

Kanye himself said something along those lines in the Drink Champs interview

They called this pop?

if you’re offended by this you’re simply insecure man ☠️ That’s what the f*** he does, he’s a traditional rapper he speaks over an instrumental that is his main function as a musician, that doesn’t mean he’s an not an artist

Niggas can’t even let they hate go for one second and keep it a buck 😂😂😂

He ahead of Mike and Prince when it comes to the arts nigga. Y’all don’t think for yourselves and let the next man tell you how to feel

Everything they wore was iconic, not everything is about making a brand for money. They wore what they liked and stood out in stadiums full of thousands. Ye got shoes but his stylist isn't putting together actual looks. Tinker Hatfield is bigger and better than Ye if we go by brands

Calling rapping talking is like saying singing is yelling

This is a wildly uneducated post

The album as a whole is labeled pop. You can still have a rap song on it.

This is a Doja song? That's not Playboi Carti rapping?

Wearing some s*** during a performance that your stylist chose and making it iconic ain’t the same s*** as designing your own clothes/sneaker brand and making it a cultural staple. But you knew that

michael jackson? nah.

Then Normani, I guess. Idk the mainstream music industry only lets a handful of black women in the spotlight per decade

You really putting Ye over Prince?

This disrespectful to Carti

Bro they did the same s*** with Santigold when her debut album dropped Lmaoo they tried to call her R&B when she was making a whole mashup of s*** like MIA

You're confusing af Because you said you don't know why Rick Ross would call himself an artist but he could if he wants to, then you said he just talks over beats. Now it's "That doesn't mean he's not an artist" If rap is art, he should be able to call himself an artist

this isnt really related to the thread but this beat sounds like it was made for a commercial

Yes

there's a long list of s*** that MJ and Prince are above Kanye in. Kanye got it in fashion no argument and its bigger than shoes

kanye play with pencil

Idk I kinda see where OP is coming from. A bunch of SoundCloud artists were using the “I’m not a rapper, I’m an artist / rock star” argument to explain why they didn’t have to step their lyrics and s*** up.

But at the same time dudes like Kanye don’t make strictly hip hop the way some other artists do. Kanye has a whole album where he’s not even rapping. I can’t call s*** like 808s & Heartbreak hip hop

Kanye is seen as one of the best musicians of his time and his sneakers have become a culture staple at this point

Sounds like relying on other people to support your points
