[converseshoeboy]

Am i the only one who thinks kanye has a good singing voice? far better than autotune shit anyway

[naiveaddictionz]

Kanye is one of the best in the game..if not the. but he has some issues he needs to deal with. he is a real artist..his emotions come out in his petry/music. that is appreciated....

[toilolokidssz10]

Man This Guy Is Sooo Talented <3

[MISSterDJ82]

KANYE BE KILLIN' THEM HOES......EVERYONE WANTS TO TALK SHIT ABOUT HOW ARROGANT/COCKY HE IS, BUT HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO BE. THAT MAN IS ONE OF THE BEST IF NOT THE BEST IN THE RAP GAME TODAY.

[stajki17]

How can an artist be so smart

[Dmoneycuz333]

i state the stats to stunt i dont need 2 front make black history everyday I dont need a month thatz dope

[Yendow23]

I don't get bitter, I get better. Drake. I just realized he said Ralph Lauren was boring before i wore him. I thought he said Ralph Lauren was born, before i wore him. I was like wdf lol

[mzjanetsofly06]

32 people are just bitter lol but anyway i really liked this poem before he made into that song :(

[georgegrazz]

wow theres a lot of emotion behind these words... powerful

[theatrelove2008]

lol ill never hit a woman but ill shake the shit outta you

[paCKwan]

GET EM|

[icepickdelguzo]

Kanye's best shit is the stuff that never gets famous.

[musiqtrick]

@icepickdelguzo cosign! like the underrated tracks of his graduation album.. the average ones got big, while the best ones died out in weeks

[martdizzleful]

in my humble opinion kanye is one of the greatest rappers of all time, very few rappers can enthuse so much wit and persoanlity into their music,and he just has this nack for relating to people-its like hes speakin directly to ur soul

[z3r0t0l3r4ns]

"This relationship it even got me back to drinkin', now this Hennessey, is gonna be the death of me."

Epic.

[kdrayy]

Guys, this came out BEFORE the song came out. This was how it originally was, then he made it into a song.

This is the original right here. It's amazing.

[spyrodxw96]

Even without the sound it stills sounds good. Kanye is just that good.

[LadyInsane96]

do you think he likes fish sticks? :) I think kanye has alot of potential, but he uses his talents all wrong, much respect to him for how high he's risen, but this poem is so unoriginal...damn, re-reading that it sounded a tad poetic...maybe I been watchin' too much DJP...

[MiiszYoungMoney]

the end is the best part

[Dana1033]

*dead @ tatebiti*

[tatebiti]

imma let you finish .i am real happy for but Maya Angelou is the best poet of all time!!!!

[MirokuKneda]

He sounded like he was about to cry at the end.

[JakRock]

Def Poetry has always had immense, brilliant artists who care for something. Tryin' to make people open their eyes.

Then they put this prick up, who is so self-observed he's not even hip-hop. He's a cunt. All he ever does is talk shit and about how good he is. He should feel ashamed. He's killing hip-hop and the message.

[DyMinPrinCesss]

i think you mean self absorbed, maybe next time you write here you'll be a little more 'self-observed' lol

ii dont care what nobody say, love kanye, and his attitude, it makes him him.

[thebradcarter]

@JakRock I was going to disagree with you but I just heard Talib Kweli's Def Poetry verse and that shit was on a different level; leagues beyond Kanye

[sheilawesome]

@JakRock "killing hip-hop?" did you watch the whole video or just assume everything kanye does is horrible? sucks that you don't get to fully appreciate the artistry this man puts out.

[JakRock]

@sheilawesome ...Watch the whole video? AYE. I watched the whole video. That's how I know he was shite. He shoulda stuck to producin'. Don't get me wrong, he was the bomb at production. But I don't care how much of a "Lyrical Genius" he is. That means fuck all if ALL your lyrics revolve around "Look how fucking fly I am with all my fucking designer shit." Nah. That's not lyrical genius. That's like saying i'm being pimped out by the music industry but I make enough money to make this pish...

[TheHamBurgerLP]

@JakRock Everything you said was true.. But it doesnt apply to Kanye alrite..

[JakRock]

@sheilawesome Like I said. He's killing the message. So until he does something productive that's not already been done, aye, I assume everything he does is horrible. Hip-Hop is meant to be the only art form out there with the balls to make people stand up and say fuck you. This shit isn't right. But nah, he just joins the ranks of 50 Cent and the Ying-Yang twins. All about the money.

[JakRock]

@sheilawesome Wanna hear lyrical genius Sheila? Put him up from Slug from Atmosphere. Del. Or even Boots Riley. Put Kanye up against them lyically and he will fucking shit.

They actually strive to keep Hip-Hop as important and true as it should be. Kanye's just slapping a big fat dollar sign on it and wearing a Gucci sweater.

Fuck him.

[thayankswin3]

@JakRock Kanye's a lyricist by all means. Atmosphere, and Del are BETTER lyricist. That doesn't mean Kanye is bad he's still one of the best producers in Hip-Hop history and he makes hot songs that still have lyrical content. He isn't slapping a dollar sign on Hip-Hop he puts in more work on an album then any rapper needs to. What you said goes to a lot of rappers, but Kanye isn't one of them.

[JakRock]

@thayankswin3 I'm talking about his lyrical content. I've always thought Kanye was one of the best producers to grace the art. That's why I was so disappointed with his wordplay. You're right, he does put a lot into an album. But I can't help feeling he's responsible (not only him) for what we have nowadays which is, in my opinion, far too over-produced.

[shami21]

motherfuckin lyrical wordsmith motherfuckin genious

[EwaGrownBoi98]

kanye spits fire

[indajust]

spits samples

[dadiysgurl09]

[Dashbarr]

He used the first part on a song with Rhymefest, Brand New. Second song is a song he did with Adam Levine of Maroon 5.

[501andStreetz]

No, the second song is Bittersweet Poetry (bonus track on Graduation) with John Mayer, not Adam Levine.

[TheTornPrince]

pray to god your heart heals cuz if you cant feel this you just can't feel

[metheores]

Wow, this was whack, horrible, garbage, I don't know what the hell this dude was thinking when he went up there. I'm not even going to talk about the suitcases because it was sorta funny, but, wow, when you heard great poems like Talib Kweli's "Hell" or many of the other great MCs that been in this show. Just makes you realize this dude is only a good producer and his rhymes are whack. Stick to producing leave the mic to those that can handle it.

[terrellhawkins900]

BiggerHulk i understand you want to be right quite frankly im glad you white and listen to rap music i listen to a little rock from time to time but rap is poetry if you was to take kanye song ''jesus walk'' and make it a capella it would be poetry, rappers mold there style wit writing lyrics a capella like 2pac, talib kweli, krs-one etc and please refrain from callin that lady a ghetto bitch i live in an urban community its kind of insulting thank you

[salsa2good]

"Brand New"

[chisa09]

LOVE KANYE .. n damn that was really good

keep doing ya thing man xxx

[BiggerHulk]

poems poems poems not fucking rap! booooo!!!

[lilreidknepp]

Rapping is poetry you fucking ingnorant bitch

[BiggerHulk]

only a dirty ghetto bitch like you would say that rap is fucking poetry. get out the box for once in your life and leave the slums. Not everything that has words and rhymes is poetry idiot.

[lilreidknepp]

BITCH FIRST OF ALL I AM NOT FUCKIN GHETTO MOTHER FUCKER. SECOND OF ALL RAP IS POETRY. THIRD OF ALL MY LIFE IS A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN YOUR BROKE, White, VIRGIN ASS.

[BiggerHulk]

Country Music is music... R&B is music... salsa is music and guess what you dirty ghetto bitch rap is music as well. You don't see fucking country music singers going up there talking one of their songs without a beat saying "THIS IS POETRY" Grow up dude... and what's with the racism... if you cant stick to the topic then get off line... you people are the first ones to get racist then have fucking reverend al sharpton running around as soon as they put a monkey cartoon in the papers.

[BiggerHulk]

Don't get racist dude... don't open that can of worms man.. U know how sensitive you guys get when the black jokes start flying. LOL. Then you guys are the first ones to say white this or white that... and the biggest fucking cry baby's when it comes back to you. Fuck you and that ugly ass kid on the video... he raps like the fag u look like. LOL

[lilreidknepp]

Dude shut the fuck up shit i dont give a fuck what the White man says about black people cause you all been doing it for over 500 years. Why did white people steel us away from our home land. Our resources jus wasnt good enough for yall greedy bitches was it?

[BiggerHulk]

Oh God here we go! I'm not having a conversation about this. right a poem.
