Plastics means fake. Basically people jumping on the bandwagon. I'm sure most of the people who enjoy Kanye West's songs are non-rap fans, and I'm thinking the same for most of the people on this thread. Whenever I hear anyone say they like Kanye West I immediately think 12 year old girl who shakes her undeveloped booty to Goldigger. But as a rap fan, I can say in all honesty that Kanye West rates as one of the best rappers to come out in recent years, and is climbing up the ranks on my list of greatest rappers. His beats are fantastic and nearly all the songs on both his albums are solid gold. He listens to the people and gives them what they want, such as getting rid of all the skits that plagued his first album and piling on the tunes in the second. Sure his lyrics may not be top of the list, but it's refreshing to see a rapper stay away from tales of the ghetto and guns. It's nice to see a rapper with his own style, own opinions and own issues to talk about, rather that another same old 'I been shot 17 times nigga and I'm still a pimp, I'll fuk ya ho' sh*t that goes on today.
