Rapping isn't a talent, its talking to some beats in the background, i don't see how that can be called talented?

i dislike britney spears but i'll say one thing for her she has talent

as does kanye

without it neither off them would be where they are now

, im not a fan of either of them but kanye has no talent, its just the selling out business because some kids, think all the rapping and Sh*t is cool ^.^

im sure hes good at what he do, but hes not where he is because of hes talent (whatever that is on hes case)

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

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.

i love kanye's rants

[rayheartbliss]

i dont think anyone bothred to read all the shiz!

[melanie]

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?
