fukking great

one of the dumbest posts ive seen this month, thats saying a lot since I post a lot in the Arcadium.

fukking great

yall think its dumb but Kanye turned it down. So I want to know what the fukk yall think think is good for Kanye that Kanye himself rejected?


This is hilarious. What the fukk are yall even arguing, Kanye himself turned it down



Yall wake up in the morning to clock into a retail job and you think you know better than Kanye about whats good for his brand.

eminem selling out motherfukking castles and stadiums overseas... he might be these days with the music... but he just sold 10 million 2-3 years ago and still sells out every stadium he goes to nationally and internationally

You just contradicted your own point.

If hes with the music that means hes living off legacy.

Kanye is a current artist, whos current music makes waves internationally.

no sir i did not

his MUSIC is flabby.. his sale are beyond anyone in hip-hop CURRENTLY and more than most artists in every genre... CURRENTLY

he is living off legacy... but living off legacy for eminem means selling 10 million fukking albums at the exact same time ye, jay and drake's last albums combined couldn't equal up to his... we not talking 10 years ago... he sold 10 million on recovery

 

[Formerly known as...]

Why the fukk would Ye get such an offer? He is really on the decline.

His next album better blow.

I understand that but Kanyes music goes beyond hiphop. Many people who like rock fukk with Kanye. Fashion heads, fukk with Kanye. Hypebeasts and Hipsters fukk with Kanye. If youre into Kardashian fukkery, Kanye name is mentioned. Kanye has the paps chasing him whereever he goes, something usually reserved for the biggest of pop stars/socialites

This is bigger than Hop Hop.

And If he's living off his legacy and still selling x4 as much as 'current' Kanye it's just more proof of how much bigger he is.

Kanye stans: "Kanye is the biggest rockstar on the planet''

Reality: Mr Kardashian last album was outsold by superstar Jermaine Cole Had Def Jam buying albums and begging RIAA for struggle 'shipped platinum' plaques.

Sales dont equal fame anymore. That fat European bytch went diamond, easily. But youre crazy if you think the world cares about Adele more than Beyonce.

Adele vegas show money & Beyonce's would look closer than Em's & Kanye's.

are you reaaaaaally trying to make a point that kanye reaches a bigger audience than someone who has 1 album outsell all his combined???

then you try to say rock and hipsters... more rockers like ye than white ass "pigeon holed in to some poppy sensation to cop me ROTATION AT ROCK AND ROLL STATIONS" eminem??


you know he's white right?? you know if he actually left his house, and was in cali shopping, and fighting and acting 12 with the paps, that they'd follow him too

paps didn't care about this nikka until he got with kim... shyt it's fair to say she's more famous than him and he's eating off HER fame... prior to her, he was just another rapper (to those outside hip-hop) who bytched and moaned and ran up on a innocent white girl... media hated this nikka and so did others

then he got with kim and started getting followed and fighting with them... now they just troll him

How he got the fame is irrelevant. How we got the paps to follow him is irrelevant.

Fact is right now Kanye is as mainstream as mainstream gets. And its clearly intentional.


You dont really think he actually hates the paparazzi but then married a Kardashian dont you?

vegas isn't about caring... just like the internet... likes, followers, etc do not equal any money

ye couldn't even get 10% of his followers to buy his album... couldn't get 10% of the media attention to translate into actual money

people just watching him act a fool... people want beyonce cause she's hot and sexy and married to jay-z


but when it comes to paying 2500 for a meet and greet and 3000 tables... those who have proven they can sell albums prove they can get those fans to spend money.. and that's what you need to show people, in order for them to book you for 150 dates... not 8

yes i do... nobody wants to walk out the house at 4 am and have the cameras flashing in your damn eyes as you trying to hit the airport... that shyt would piss anyone off

but then you see him with the nice paps who don't do that... and he gives them praise and thanks them for not being like american paps



yes it brings fame... but if fame doesn't translate into your fanatics actually buying your music... then what the fukk... this is the same ye who had to postpone and cancel AMERICAN tour dates cause they weren't being sold out

people dont want Beyonce because shes married to Jay Z. It works the other way around.

Regardless artists like Adele etc. Its just about the music. Nobody cares about them personally. Artists like Jay Z Beyonce Kanye West have an actual brand that transcends the music that they have to guard.

Kanye didnt think it was a good idea to book that, so obviously he doesnt see it to his advantage, idk what posters are contesting here

He thinks gossip site clicks are better way of gauging an artists gate draw than album & ticket sales. Last album couldn't go platinum, couldn't sell out a tour but Kanye's the biggest draw in hiphop, he's bigger than hiphop
