They played "Gold Digger" when I was recently at a club in your favorite country (Ireland) and all the chicas went wild, so I have no complaints.

His classics are still amazing.

Hell no. My cousin use to be hella into him, to the point of paying thousands of dollars for a pair of Yeezy's one Christmas (or well, his parents did) which blew my mind. His whole persona has made me queasy since day one.

No, but I have in the past it doesn't even matter because all entertainers are celebrities clearly Ice Cube and Michael Jackson are the stars of blk music and Michael Jackson died and Whitney Houston died too

But, as I said many times Tom Brady doesn't get scrutinized by the media for Supporting Trump because he is an athlete not celebrities

Not voluntarily, and even less so now, but his music is still some of the most overused trailer music in history unfortunately.

No, but I think I have one of his songs on my high school nostalgia playlist and one song feat. him. So, I will probably have to remove those.

Option 4: Not actively or habitually, but I also don't care enough about recent events to delete Stronger, Heartless, and Knock You Down from my iTunes Apple Music library.

The only reason why he is popular is because the Kardashians are popular in the blk community he isn't married anymore so that's that with his praise but let's remember as I said before there were all these protest with George Floyd in 2020 and what happened to them Floyd family gotten 33M with the help of LeBron, Curry and Klay Thompson' because Floyd tragedy fell right during the Kobe Bryant like Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson funeral they dissolve because Ds don't have a movement like the Proud boys they have a legitimate movement even tho it's filled with hate and insurrection

Why because Blk athletes goes back to their rich lifestyles, and let's remember Rs don't want Blks to have reparations but they gave George Floyd 33M thats could of taken care of the blk reparations right there with 33M

As I said Ice Cube, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson music is the blk community not Kanye he is a blk entertainers

As I said before LeBron, Klay Thompson's and Steph Curry were both involved during the Pandemic in 2020 during Kobe Funeral and George Floyd protests happened at the same time so it was politically motivated I am not saying that Floyd didn't deserve that money but Beina Taylor family only gotten 7M 33M is extreme

I have never bought (or listened to) his music. I haven’t even bought any CDs that have a Parental Advisory label printed on the artwork in my life.

White culture has already been exposed to blk music Ice Cube is a movie star and Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson and they are Secular Kanye is part of the Kardashians whom are Secular we all been exposed to Jackson's and Whitney but they're Dead

Cosby and the Jackson family and Ice Cube and Whitney Houston and Kardansians, Jordan, Steph Curry, LeBron and Kobe all came together and will be forever in our lives

They still will be talking about Kardashians and how their marriage ended in Divorce because he is a celebrity, you don't have to listen to blk music as I have said many times already, and I know you have already listened to Michael and Janet Jackson

His music used to be on my playlist circa 2010. I haven't gone out of my way to listen to one of his songs in many years, and I probably never will go out of my way to do so again. But its not like I am going to go into my iTunes and delete his songs from my library.

I don't know. I certainly can't see myself wanting to listen to him anytime soon. Which sucks because everything up to and including MBTDF is pure gold.

No, I don't think I would even recognize his music if I heard it.

Yes, his music pre-Yeezus was really really good and the fact that he completely lost his mind over the last decade doesn't change that.

Frankly he started losing his mind as soon as his mother died... you had the VMA Awards thing a year later, and then MBDTF was all driven by the changes in his personality to slowly become more of an egomaniacal asshole.  But that by itself, and the evolution to that personality type from a pop star who used to rap about working for the GAP and sharing a bed with his cousins, was a really interesting subject.  And of course the music was exquisite.

But after MBDTF, the subject was no longer "this formerly humble and relatable rapper is being transformed by tragedy, wealth and fame into an egomaniacal asshole"... it was just "Kanye is an egomaniacal asshole, Episode II, Episode III, Episode IV, Episode V...." and that's not an interesting subject.  And it's not surprising that after making a dozen albums about what an asshole he is, he just keeps becoming more and more of an asshole.

Anyway, The College Dropout and MBDTF are both all-time great rap albums, Late Registration and Graduation are more weighed down by filler but still have plenty of bangers, and 808s and Heartbreak, although not very good, was the experimental work Kanye needed to prepare him for MBDTF, and still has a couple great songs.

Also the song Moon on Donda is really really good, but that's largely because it's a Kid Cudi and Don Toliver song that Kanye merely produced.  I'd kill for an entire album of this kind of music.

I mean depends on the kind of emo. But yes. I know it's not strictly emo but I am a big Fugazi fan, for example.
