I'm a huge fan of Kanye. Well this started when his single came out Gold Digger (feat. Jamie Foxx and Ray Charles). I mean that was an insane track! Everyone was so into it! Then an album 'Graduation' came out with the singles Stronger, Good Life (feat. T-Pain) and Homecoming (feat. Chris Martin), which were my favourites of all time, especially Stronger.

'808s and Heartbreak' was my favourite album of all-time, I still listen to it today. I mean every track was just so soulfull and rich with emotions. Tracks like Love Lockdown, Heartless, Paranoid, Welcome to Heartbreak, Coldest Winter, wait, this is the whole album! Loved each track.

Although I hate rap, Kanye West is an absolute exception, he is brilliant, and I also think he has a decent voice and an accent that is very distinguishable among the rappers of today.

Note: can you please put the Taylor Swift incident aside? This is to discuss his music and his career. And no mentioning the gay fish incident with Southpark (although it's hilarious)

What I love about Kanye is the fact that he's not afraid to try new things, constantly striving to be "the best of the best".

Most artists usually stick to what they're comfortable with, which makes sense bcz it's their safe haven and what garnered them their most success, but for us listeners it can get quite repetitive and boring.

Theres something for everyone in his music.. And about his personality, I'm not surprised.. Most ppl who are on the "Artsy" side of things tend to do/want things their way. :p

I like the fact that he is arrogant, proves to you that he is good and he knows it! Alter ego!

And J'adore, variety always attracts me, I seek fresh stuff, I never stick to only one genre. Kanye's cool!

Welcome to heartbreak & heartless top my list. I like Kanye West after his latest album, I didn't like his previous albums/songs.
