Because he has become the biggest ego in the music industry. Actually recently he claimed to be the voice of the present generation. And I disagree, this was not even close to an okay album. It was written to make money and be on the top 40 all day long. Sounds NOTHING like anything he has made.

So yes kicking him to the curb works for me. A sold out ego tripping has been.

I think he's smart.

Agreed. Ill give him that, he is a smart mother ****er. Cash in on a dying trend. Not the first time its been done and certainly not the last.

I think you're watching too much TMZ dude. Base your opinions on the actual piece of art (which you did, kinda), rather the artist. I don't see what his ego has to do with the album..? I thought the music was pretty raw and emotional.

I guess we just disagree. I miss the old Kanye. My Way Home, Crack Music, Hey Mama, Diamonds from Sierra Leone and all that from Late Registration and College Dropout. And for the record, never watched or read any TMZ in my life, and I plan on keeping it that way.

one word: disappointment

For me most of the album was mediocre, but the song RoboCop was phenomenal.
