Kanye or nay?

So everyone talks about music. Everyone debates and rationalizes why they in fact are more musicaly aware than you and everyone they know. I personally think I have a VERY extensive collection of EPIC music stored inside me, but I'm probably preaching to the choir, right?

But then, there are those times where for some reason how we react to tragedy is abandoning the things we love. Like, I've had a shitty year and stopped listening to a lot of music because I couldn't be happy. Mental, I know. I've since recovered from the shit storm and am getting back to that sassy center of gravity I'm apparently known for.

Having said that, pardon my lateness on the subject, but I have to ask:

Do you take Kanye West seriously?

Honesty is the best policy, and I can honestly say if I ever met the guy I think I would have a hard time finding anything to say to the guy that wasn't a little rude.

His latest album is yes, the best he's done. In my opinion. Which I'm allowed to have just like you. I however, can not listen and fall in love with every track and apply it to my life like everyone I know. Same with Weezy but I SO will not touch that topic right now.

I love beats, and synth, and music that just sounds like a party. I like catchy hip hop and witty rhymes. I have serious love for underground/pop culture. (thats kind of an oxymoron no? haha) The "I took the road less traveled" cinderella stories of artists, musicians, who marched to the beat of their own drum. Genuine outcasts of sorts who prevailed over whatever that invisible foe is we rebels without a cause spend our lives bitching about.

Because of this, I can not show much love for our Mr. West.

All I get out of his Louis V. name dropping, "hater blocker" wearing, overly confidant rhymes is WANNABE HIPSTER. He would be like the kid that you see at a show with 20 billion accessories from all sorts of fashion trends that totally don't go together, who's never heard of this band, or that artist, but knows everyone loves it and goes to say he went.

A nice try, but not quite sort of thing.

Now I know, Kanye West could have totally touched you and has a good grip on your heart. To that I say, awesome! and don't let me or anyone else ruin that for you. But for me, there will be no touching. I get my kicks elsewhere. I just can't get into it so far as to say that I love one of Kanye's tracks.

Love is a pretty strong sentiment to be throwing around.

I'm just not that kind of girl.

(All this was brought on cause I heard that Flashing Lights song. Which is so far, the only song I can semi-get into. Mainly for the chorus. And the line, "..Martin with no Gina". I will admit I thought that was cute.)
