View Full Version : Kanye West is the Voice of this Generation.

Kanye West has claimed that he will be remembered as "the voice of this generation".

The hip-hop star said he had stepped up his game, when artists such as Justin Timberlake had disappeared from the music scene.

He told the Associated Press: "I realise that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade. I will be the loudest voice."

West releases his fourth studio album, 808s And Heartbreak, later this month.

"It's me settling into that position of just really accepting that it's one thing to say you want to do it and it's another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan," he said.

"There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin went on vacation I made albums."

Yes, but anticipation is something determines the popularity. :conf2: Circus is predicted huge sales because of this. Kanye will obviously get huge sales. All I said was is that Circus will too.

You seriously need to learn the definition of opinion. You can't state things like "they are amazing" as fact.

:rolleyes: ^

Not all rappers write there own songs, same with singers not all write there own songs but most of them do.

Well singing is using your voice in different octaves/pitches w/e etc.. I don't see how talking is much more difficult than that?


And also accept that I am allowed to have a opinion, and that you got to realise what you say is a opinion not fact. :pat:

Oh heres his response to the paparazzi incident. It was typed in all caps but someone lower-cased it LOL.

WHO'S WINNING, ME OR THE MEDIA?

Regardless of how much light I put out, there are people working just as hard to deliver darkness. If you listen to my music, how could I deliver so many positive uplifting messages and be the monster that the media paints? Paparazzi give real photographers a bad name. A picture is worth a thousand words; theirs are worth a thousand dollars. Let us not forget the paps killed Princess Diana.

When will there be a law passed that simply enforces that someone has to ask to take a photography of you? That would seem like common courtesy. Right now, the paps are above the law, and the people they shoot are below it. What should be illegal is is pictures taken with the intent to sell ... like drugs with the intent to sell .. or crossing customs with enough merchandise to have the intent to sell.

The exploitation of my images is the problem. It produces a "by any means necessary" behavior that causes the paps to drive recklessly on freeways, jump over fences and invade privacy all in an effort to get that "money shot." You shouldn't be able to sell a picture of me without my permission. After this law is passed, when you enter a public place like a basket ball arena etc., there will be a sign that reads ... "All photos taken here are public domain and can be used at the photographer's discretion." Obviously red carpet events where people show up to be photographed will also apply.

The personal problem I have with the paps is when they try to catch you being a regular person. I am not a celebrity. I'm a normal person that just famous. I refuse to sneak in and out of back doors and kitchens of hotels etc ... I am protecting my personal space since there are no laws to protect that for me. I put my hand up to the camera in self defense!

Here's what happened ... When I left the club, I was encountered by a thirsty paparazzi, as usual. He felt he mad more rights to my space than me, so I put my hand up to prevent him from taking my image. I didn't assault him, but merely putting my hand up to cover his lens. My security yelled, "Get the camera off him."

I guess in all the commotion, the camera scraped his nose. Three hours later, I get a knock at my hotel door. There were five police officers in front of my room and I had no idea why. I had my security go speak with them. The cops were very cordial, but the told me they had to arrest me because a compliant was filed. That was the bogus part. They placed me in handcuffs and drove me to the station. They spoke about how this was obviously a publicity stunt by the photographer, but they still had to go through the motions. When I got back to the hotel, there were paparazzi hanging over the bridge about the hotel trying to get a shot of me getting out the police ban.

Even though I wasn't charged, the damage was done. Sure enough, the next morning, plastered across every media outlet ... Kanye gets arrested. It didn't matter that I wasn't charged or the fact that I hadn't assaulted anyway. All that mattered was that I was arrested.

Sidebar, they quoted me as saying ... "Get the camera off him!" Like I was talking in the third person. He tried to make me sound like a crazy person, and people believed him. What merit does this guy have that he can say something about me, and people take it as law? The fact that he could get me arrested off a mere complaint, but I can't ask him to stop taking pictures of me is very lopsided. Who's winning, me or the media?

When are you going to realise what YOU say isn't fact, it is a OPINION, and therefore respect other peoples opnions?

I said why I don't think he is talented, surely you can accept that it is my opinion instead of saying that I'm wrong and your right...

I like some of Kanye's music, but he can be an absolute cock at times.

I just saw a advert for Christina's new album and it said "The voice of the generation". Looks like they all think they are.

It's a shame as there is still so much talent and creativity in hip hop and yet, in the mainstream, people still give the awful Kanye West's inflated ego the time of day.

GOD!! i'm getting a bit sick of this now. I know everyone is entitled to voice their opinion and stuff, but seriously, people are coming into kanye threads and just plain dissing him. Yet the majority of this forum thinks Britney is a music god, when in fact she's jst a overrated ****** who happens to be able to sing. But everyone cries when she's dissed on here :rolleyes:
