the white people's/mainstrean's dumbed-down version of mos def or chuck d.
he is a better rapper than 50 Cent, but that obviously means shit. He is an ok producer when he doesnt have those annoying-ass sped up samples. As a rapper, he is very, very average, and basic. Although this may seem like i have a negative opinion about him, i dont, he has produced some great songs (ex. get by, guess who's back, heartbeat), but as you may notice, none have him rapping, because his wannabe mase flow unfourtanetly doesnt equate to classic. And oh yeah, who said hes derived from 2Pac & biggie is an idiot, because they talked about crack/guns/bitches/etc. (although early 2Pac was socially-conscious, where one could easily see his chuck d/public enemy influences).

Talented-but-not-Eminem-talented rapper who wears lots of jewelry dug up in African mines by black slaves. Has taken Nas's and Jay-Z's title of "tedious rapper who thinks he's the best thing in popular music since Elvis."
Pretentious:
1. Making claim to or creating an appearance of (often undeserved) importance or distinction
2. ostentatious; intended to attract notice and impress others
3. Kanye West

A rapper who is in exile by all fellow celebrities and fans for multiple incidents of complete and utter stupidity, racism, stereotyping and rudeness.
Jill: Oh my god! Did you see Kanye West on the 2009 MMVAs?! He is such an ass!
Jenna: I know! Did you hear him make that speech about how President Bush hates black people a while ago!?

A famous producer and MC hailing from Chicago, Kanye West is believed to be one of the most attention grabbing individuals of our time. Either loved or absolutely abhorred, the name Kanye West provokes thoughts of soulful beats with sped-up samples of old soul/R&B classics, (his single "Through the Wire" used a sped-up sample of Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire") and an MC with a clear, somewhat cocky-sounding delivery and a slightly "chunky" flow. Kanye is also noted as a member of a 'new breed' in hip-hop, along with Common, and primarily Fonzworth Bentley, as one of those who have successfully shifted from the "bling-bling" image of hip-hop to dressing in good taste. He goes by a few nicknames, primarily "Kanye to the", and "Kan, the Louis Vuitton Don". He is a self-proclaimd "label whore", but can be seen wearing independent labels (most notably Japanese DJ Nigo's clothing line A Bathing Ape/BAPE.) Kanye is known for many controversial statements he's made in and out of the booth; his rhymes and philosophy are in ties with afrocentric philosophy. Many people appear to be turned off by his arrogant persona and his popularity seems to be declining, however his music has not taken a similar dive as he works hard to maintain his standards of quality in hip-hop production and hip-hop itself.

A good rapper from Chicago. He creates great rhythms and has good lyrics, but has a couple of whacked ideas. For example, he thinks if you're rich, you can pay the government to survive AIDS. He got this from the fact that Magic Johnson, a former NBA star, has been living with AIDS for a long time, and is still living a healthy life. But this is because he has been very careful about the things he eats and he works out constantly. Most people who get AIDS can extend their life expectancy by doing the exact same things, and staying positive about their life. NOT by paying off the government. Also, he has a very negative view to white people. He thinks George Bush hates black people. George Bush is just stupid. I'm black, and I realize this. This is ironic, because at least 65% of his fans are white, yet he is still an asshole to the white community. He also created a song about how the white people exploited the people of Sierra Leone to get to their diamonds (Diamonds of Sierra Leone), which is a true fact. But he made over 1 million $ from the song, and donated very little if that to charities in Africa. Very hypocritical.
But he is still one of thegreatest rappers of all time.
