He ain't Hip-Hop, he's just another commercial rapper. Same as Lil Wayne. It shamed me to hear him give props to Skinny Puppy.

 Sorry, feeling a little anti anti today.

Some people like his music some don't. His net worth is about 100 million. If you listen to the last minute or two of the interview you will hear him mention the Amiga when he is talking about a passion and excitement for new products of the past.

I agree and I think it's a bit shameless of the admin to post links here for people to buy Kanye's products.  What's next? Admins pushing tooth whiteners and breath mints?

Just because he's amassed a fortune doesn't mean anyone should want to listen to him, or that he's talented.....One man's "talent" is another man's trash.  I never gauge the value of an individual by their wealth and find it offensive that you suggest we should listen to this clown just because he's wealthy.

Glad you told us the part where he mentions Amiga is in the last minute or two, I'd hate to sit through an hour of his BS. And the itunes link, etc., was completely unnecessary. :angryfire:

Lulz, my question is if he kept interrupting the interviewer repeatedly, talking about the Amiga.

I don't mean to offend anyone who likes his work, everyone has a right to enjoy whatever art they find most appealing... I'm curious as to the context of his Amiga interest :)

I have the same question. Was he an Amiga user years ago?

Amiga attracks some *interesting* (er arrogant) people. Kanye West, Ben Hermans, etc...

OK, I wanted to know ... and it was REALLY hard to listen to but I did the last 5 minutes. Even the interviewer had NFI what the rant really was about.

The mention of Amiga was with a whole bunch of other iconic products (at least it is viewed as iconic here) and he was associating his passion to the passion of people who love those products.

Did he jump up in the middle of a Microsoft presentation and shout Amiga should have been here?
