submitter: Kanye West admits he wants fewer fans

After his SNL appearance a few weeks ago, I don't think this will be a problem.

FTFY.

Kanye is a total Wentz, though, I agree.

Saw him at roo. He can easily lose fans if he keeps that crap up.

\I went from drunk to sober waiting for his show to start.
\\The cool light show blows as you watch the sunrise.

I think I can help him with this.

One problem with your headline subby...Bjork is farking awesome and has serious talent. I don't ever want to hear their names in the same sentence again unless it's "Kanye West fan ends himself much like Bjork stalker".

"I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans. I want the freedom of having less fans. It's like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility."

This has got to be one of the stupidest things I"ve ever heard.

 
AdolfOliverPanties [TotalFark] 2009-01-12 02:56:07 PM  
He should wear the swan dress.

It couldn't possibly make him more of a wentz.

I'll try my best to do my part.

How much smug does he have packed into his cheeks anyway?

I heard that you can have less money if you give it away.

He is a well-known retard. The problem is that assholes keep reporting on what he says.

Oh my, there's GOT to be someone with better photoshop skills than me that's gonna put the swan dress on Kanye.

PlEaSe?
I'll pay.

A pretentious Wentz?

The stupid wentz should kill himself then.

The more and more Kanye talks, the more and more I hate him. And I thought his last album (Graduation) was excellent in every way for a pop Hip Hop album. That album made me respect him.

After seeing his glow in the dark tour, I really changed my view.

Now he called Beyonce the best entertainer of this generation and puts Lil Wayne at the top of lyrycists? Jay Z is way better than Lil Wayne, and i'm sure Lupe Fiasco would love a few words with kanye about that also. Lil Wayne is OK, but damn there are much better hip hop/rappers out there.

Oh, and he might be more racist than Bush.

I think it's also worth pointing out that Kanye has defended Soulja Boy. 'Nuff said.

I would like to help him out, but as I am currently not a fan, the best I can do for him is to maintain status quo.

Ice T, Snoop, Eric Sermon, and probably more that I am forgetting.

You don't need to be a genius on par with Jimi, Freddie or Cliff to know that Kanye West and Soulja Boy both fail as 'musicians' - and as people. And as far as those two are concerned, i use the term 'musicians' looser than Paris Hilton after an all-nighter.

/those two suck harder than a black hole of suck
//i dare say they suck more than Duke

Um? It's pretty much true.

Less famous people have more freedom to do what they want.

It's like the situation of Hollwood movies versus Indie films.

Hollywood can't take chances, meanwhile the indie films churn out interesting and different films all the time.

and he's right, Bjork can do whatever she wants, because her fans expect it of bjork. Meanwhile there are tons of "fairweather" rap fans that don't understand why Kanye didn't rap in his last album.

Haganegiri: Meanwhile there are tons of "fairweather" rap fans that don't understand why Kanye didn't rap in his last album.

I agree with the rest of your post, and though I'm not a rap fan, even I thought the overuse of the autotune by one of the supposedly more creative talents* in the field would use a device that is already way overused was much worse than his previous work.


And what's stopping from Kanye from creating some seriously creative music? True, it would possibly alienate more fans than bring in new ones, but you're making music for the wrong reasons if that's what stunts your creativity.

*label applies only because the bar is set pretty low.

Lundah: submitter: Kanye West admits he wants fewer fans

After his SNL appearance a few weeks ago, I don't think this will be a problem.


That was the first SNL I'd watched in a very long time, and the first time I'd seen/heard Kanye perform. After watching it, I thought for sure I was getting too old too fast, because man, that sucked.

Then I found out later that no, it really did suck. It wasn't just the generation gap. Whew.
