Do you consider Kanye west backpack rap?
610939
I dont know what backpack rap is but i think he is a good rapper. He doesnt rap about the same corny thing that others are, money, jewelry, cars. He rhymes about real life and things that we are thinking about but do not say. He is more os a lyricist than a rapper to tell you the truth. He thinks about his lyrics and its impact rather than saying what he thinks we wanna hear.

what have you learned from listening to their music that you can take with you for the rest of your life and teach it to your children? There are few rap artist that I listen to. My favourite now is Kanye West. Once it was Tupac. People become tired of hearing about, haters, bling, bitches, gangsta, baby mothers. Time we start glorifying things that are good and upright, like instead of boasting on your brother about all the bling you have, help him so he dont have to come and shoot you down for your. If our fore fathers saw what we have done with the freedom that they have fought so long and hard for so that we would have a better life, they would be ashame!!!!!!!\n\nThere is no doubt that mental slavery is the worst form of slavery

He is a hypocrite. I used to love kanye because of his lyrical wit and his clever puns, but now he is just ruining himself. If you look at my questions asked on yahoo, you'll see that a lot of them relate to K. West. He is a hypocrite becuase he flaunts his wealth and talks about how poor people have it so bad, he is a rascist himself because of how his songs indicate that the white men hold em' down and how nixon planted cocaine in the ghetto and how bush let iraq get anthrax, he is self-righteous, he claims that screwing girls, smoking weed, basically living a decadent life is the ideal way, even though he rights (erhem i mean co-writes or got someone to ghostwrite "jesus walks") and he lets Rolling Stone magazine take a picture of him getting cruxified symbolizing that he believes he is the messiah. He's an ignorant asswipe. Also about the MTV Europe awards, and the one awards show where he threw a tantrum, he is basically being the biggest hypocrite. Christianity emphasizes humility, and in that department, kanyeasy is measly. I seriously think we should publicly condemn him as a yahoo community. He's so good at rapping and saying ****, but he's so multifaced. He needs to stick to one persona. Either be cocky, self-righteous, immoral, not humble, rap about hoes and **** or be the direct opposite and start giving a lil. He does offend many woman. He actually, and i believe, has no remorse for any race. He did come out on MTV and talked about how it was wrong to use the word GAy in rapper's lyrics, but still how can you say that, then attack a wider group, namely women and caucasians. I'm not even white, but it is outright deplorable.

Haram- Doesn't that mean illegal or dangerious in Arabic?\n\nWell, from the title of the song, I think Muslims would think that it is haram to listen to Kanye's song.

I really agree with you a lot. Nas is my favorite rapper. Nas is a great example to other people and kids. He talks about other things rather than just money, drugs, sex, and violence. He actually tries to send a message to people. Nas is the King of New York. He smashed Jay-z on Ether and the Stillmatic freestyle. Nas made thegreatest hip hop album of all time. Illmatic. But my favorite album from him is Stillmatic. I'm too young to relate to Illmatic. I was only like two when it was out. Nas is the greatest rapper of all time.

Game has some sick lyrics.....50 has succumbed to bubble gum rap...personally I like Game. But I guess its all in your choice of rap.

I say yes because lets say your purse has your ipod in it and a hairbrush and gum and your wallet and your cell phone.... you might need those things @ school and if you just bring your backpack then you would need to take it all out of your purse... put it into your backpack....then put it back into your purse!! Plus what if you go somewhere after school??? Only you can decide if you need to bring your purse to school or not!!

I will say that he is a good rapper.  But greatest of all time is definitely pushing it.  2Pac is the greatest of all time.  Jay-Z's songs carry a beat, but really never had anything important to say.  However 2Pac always had something to say.  He had his songs about being a hardcore thug in cali, but he also has encouragement for people living in the ghetto.  He also started the now popular songs on giving thanks to women in your life, with "Dear Mama."  He has meaning and pain in his songs that other people have tried to achieve but haven't.   He raps about things people of all classes, races, and gender can relate to.  And in his grave he still remains to be one of the most influential rappers.  Can Jay-Z, or any rapper, make that claim...I think not!

I'd say "Pac" was the best (although I am not really into "Rap"),but my kids (ages 29,23,and 22) have always bought Pac's music. I did like Biggies: (I love it when you call me "Big Papa"). Biggie sounds like he's chewing his tongue when he raps! (smile!)

i agree with you people in the fact that he is a talented person. he isn't really my style . however he is only 23 and has written songs for people such as Mary j blige, faith Evans, Mario and more. he was producing and writing songs before he started his own career, and i think that if he does fade away that he will continue to write great songs and produce other artists. he has done well for a boy of only 23 years. i don't think people should be judging him on only his own singing ability when he has done so much more than people know about. after all kanye west and pharrel Williams started out doing the exact same things and look at where they are today. and just so you know I'm not just another young girl who likes him for his looks, i don't actually, and i am not even a fan of his style of music. but i do believe he is talented and not just another fake. p.s. I LOVE FALL OUT BOY!!!

I dont think thats true at all, we should respect all different art forms cuz some rappers are really poetic, just listen to Common sense or Mos Def, Dont be so closed minded buttmunch! (and this is coming from a guy who deosn't even like rap)
