Looks good to me

There's no denying the guy's genius at production. He's good at producing hits.

Autotune is lame. Rappers need to stop trying to sing.

I like to separate the two, fashion and music, especially when it comes to Kanye. I don't buy that he's fashion forward or anything above what's popular. He's a regurgitation of gross 80's fashion that happened to mate with tackey "high end" houses. That boy is lucky. We all know he used his popularity to leverage into fashion. He didn't earn it.

I liked Pharrell's collabos. At least his stuff had direction. And he's a much better dresser.

The Yeezy kicks:They're ugly.

I'm waiting for a big shot in the fashion world to say what we're all thinking.

I love haterade.

EDIT:
I'm sorry. I just threw a huge B fit. It was a lot of pent up animosity.

lulz. Here we go again... I think Pharrel's style is very legit. NERD is pretty fun too.

Methinks a lot of you are jealous of Kanye and his disposable income. And if I may add, the Louis Vuitton monogramouflage Keepall is great. I have one and have worn it a few times and everyone seems to love it and stare. There is nothing wrong with his essentials list, but I do think his LV sneakers look ugly.

Damn enough people! Just shut up and listen to whatever you like whether it's Kanye, Talib Kweli, El-P, Showbiz or AG.

I don't think Kanye dresses bad I just think people want to hate what he's wearing because his ****** personality.

And look what happened to the Dixie Chicks. They got black listed, and their career was damn near terminated. They haven't had the same level of coverage or fame since then.

How does this help your argument?

Which obviously shows that the Dixie Chicks were much more dangerous than Kanye West for them to have been "blacklisted" and "terminated". Now, that's a model I want to follow. Do they have a list of 10 essentials I could purchase?

It helps my argument, because he put his career on the line. He was lucky that the same thing did not happen to him.
