Kanye West = Knob
Playing the race card on Twitter and saying although he really (love love loves) white people they will never understand what it feels like to be the GREAT GRANDSON of slaves.Calling out several well respected musical publications thereafter and requesting they no longer review 'black music'.
Deary me that must have been terrible being born 100+ years after your ancestors who had a genuinely terrible life and lived through very real hardship and struggle that most could never comprehend.
Using those people as pawns to attempt to emenate some kind of race-divide amongst people is fucking disgusting though imo.
A very dangerous tactic with so many fundamentally dumb people in the World today who hang onto every word of an ego-maniacal knob like him.
All to shift a few more albums too probably.Fucking wanker who lives in a self-absorbed World far removed from reality and is famous more for 'hype' rather than actual artistry like so many of today's 'stars' in the entertainment industry.

Re: Kanye West = Knob
It sums up exactly what's wrong with society right now that it matters what fuckwits like him say. Thic celebrity culture that's been created is depressing, this guys a hero to millions, really?
Unfortunately the race divide will always be used/ there, can't see a time when racism doesn't exist.
Btw why is it called 'black music'? What is 'white music'? Why are there so many 'black' award ceremonies or groups within tv/film/music/celebrity culture?
Imagine if someone openly said we're going to have a whites only music awards ceremony. Racism is wrong, but it suits too many peoples agendas, that's why it will always exist, a bit like bigotry in Glasgow.

Re: Kanye West = Knob
Don't know a lot about him, looked up a bit when it was claimed, after Bowie's death, that he was his proclaimed successor. Very poor, in my view, near talentless.
To my gripe: when did RnB music, by the likes of T-Bone Walker, Fats Domino, Bo Diddley and more recently (!!) in the UK the Stones and Dr Feelgood, become what it is recognised as today, ie, not RnB?

Re: Kanye West = Knob
I hear ya Pat.R+B to me was always acts like the one's you mentioned.
@Shed i don't really have a problem with music of black origin being celebrated tbh.I just don't like the race card being played when it suits.He also goes on about 'his struggle'.What the fuck is he on about?It makes a mockery of black artists who really have had to struggle to get where the got to in life like Stevie Wonder (born blind),Ray Charles (went blind at the age of 4),Muddy Waters (born+raised in a Cotton Plantation),BB King (born+raised on a cotton plantation) etc etc.I could go on.
These artists can talk rightfully of their 'struggle' (funnily enough none of them ever have/did),not a monumental bellend like Kanye.

Re: Kanye West = Knob
Tek, I don't have a problem with it being celebrated either TBH, but the fact that all these black awards exists and white ones couldn't is racist on its own. Why can't there just be awards which are open to all and that's it?
The rest of your point, absolutely agree, the boys a grade A fud.

Re: Kanye West = Knob
Isn't all rock and pop music of "black origin"?
