I think he has big thoughts but huge difficulty expressing them in the spoken word. Let him write a song about it and he gets it out much better.
His lyrics are riveting.

I have actually never listened to his stuff. I've just assumed all this hype had some basis. Are his lyrics just as bad?

edited because I can't talk coherently, either.

His lyrics are godawful, which is a pity because he's fantastic at picking up a hook and making a great hip-hop song out of it. "Flashing Lights" is incredible until he gets to the few seriously cringe-worthy lines, and "Jesus Walks" was a great song in Jarhead when his stream-of-retardation rap was removed from it.

You have to say that like the Sherriff of Rock Ridge. :cool:

life is a little better when you ignore all the words that come out of Kanye's mouth and just appreciate him for the musical savant that he is.

this is a good example. Brilliant enough to arrange a hip hop song around this Steely Dan sample, but also thinks that "mmhmm, that's that [expletive]" is a good line.

Here's hoping that part of the security staff for the VMA's next year will include a sniper in the balcony. Or, possible arm all nominees with a tazer. I'd pay good money to see Kayne tazered on stage for interrupting an acceptance speech.
