An arrogant prick who also happens to be one of the best and most creative forces in popular music today. Most of the people who keep blabbing about the Taylor Swift incident have never actually listened to his music. They may have heard "Stronger" or "Gold Digger" on the radio once, but that doesn't really count for much.
All Kanye ever does is be honest. He just completely lacks constraint in what he does, in both his music and his public appearances. He never pretends to be something that he isn't, and as such his music isn't just boyish posturing like that of most rappers, it feels like a journey into his soul. Anyone who's listened all the way through "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" knows that. He's not a perfect guy. He says stupid things on camera. He gets angry, he flips out, he gets depressed. He's a normal human being, just like everyone else. And that's what makes his music so goddamn amazing.

Listen to some of his music, like "Roses", "Family Business" or "Street Lights". If you think those Kanye West songs are bad, you probably don't have a soul, just saying.

Get the Kanye West mug.Something that is liked by a majority of people and doesn't pertain to any particular subculture. Mainstream is not a particular style of music, it has nothing to with rap, it has nothing to do with the media forcing various types of music down our throats. It's just stuff that a lot of people like. That's it.
And as for the people saying shit like "Mainstream should die"... What do you think would happen if everyone started listening to the more underground music that you like?
It would be mainstream. Faggot.
