I also prefer Kanye, because he is supportive of the gay community and seems to try to make music that isn't about sex and messing around with women. Hey Mama from the last album was really a good song, and I can't imagine 50 pulling something off like that. |

He can be arrogant... but I have no problem with cockiness or arrogance, its that he is childish. He throws temper tantrums when he doesn't get an award. He throws a hissy fit when he couldn't perform on the main stage at the VMA's....he is truly immature. It's hard for me to believe someone that can make such good music acts so ridiculous when it comes to being a good sport. That's like seeing Common, Talib Kweli, even Jay-Z bitching about how this is unfair, and their black, and they should've won an award. You wouldn't see that happen, because they are great artists and they carry themselves like so. I dunno....Kanye already said that this was all a marketing scheme on his part; at least the beef is friendly. I've heard some of 50's album (was okay) and Kanyes was good...his was more unique and some of the songs aren't my style but who knows? |

Sometimes i wish someone would just instill some humbleness to Kanye and remind him where he started, back to the time where no one wanted to hear him as an artist and he was just the beat man for other rappers. |
| When he first came out he was just rude and he was starting beef with every rapper (even females) for no reason. But that may have been his marketing scheme (or his cry for attention) because he is great now. |
