I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Kanye West declare that he was the "voice of the generation" (here's the link to the Breitbart Article I read it in). I said to myself, "this guy has absolutely lost it". First of all, although he has been hyped to be the best thing since sliced jay-z, I would say he has maybe only three good songs, and thats even debatable. Secondly, his new album "808s and whatever the hell its called" is basically him on a T-pain pitch correcting machine with repetitive African beats in the background (in every friggin song). So, he can't sing for shit, his lyrics blow ass, and the songs are carbon copies of each other. Where does he get the nerve and the arrogance to say what he says? Maybe the same place that gives him the balls to tell Conan Obrien that he needs to "go to the bathroom real bad" in front of a live audience before standing up and giving an absolutely embarrassingly bad performance (here it is). He sounds like a six year old girl singing a made up song in to a little tikes mic at a family reunion. What a moron. Maybe if he paced himself like Timberlake does he may actually do something of some quality (not that I'm saying I love Timberlake, but the guy has some catchy fucking songs).
On a more uplifting note, The Knux released the first actually good hip-hop album in a while. Here are the links to their first two singles:
Cappuccino
Bang Bang
Sincerely Yours,
Punk Horse
