I usually think people's taste in music is bad so I was always like maybe it's just not for me but the fashion...
ellivenob4272000
My brother likes Kanye and said his biggest skill is.... Sampling other peoples music really good lol.... I haven't really listened
CortexDagger
I've most likely heard something by him but that doesn't mean I know it was him.
loot1heal2self
I worked as an extra in the fight scene of anchorman 2 and Kanye pulled up listening to his own music. So I stopped listening.
Tophar01
Lol imagine trying to make people feel guilty for enjoying some bomb ass tracks.
Sauroctonus
The only time I heard a Kanye song I wondered where the sample was from... And I ended up listening to King Crimson.
theskepticinme
Lol yeah. Couldn’t tell you a single tune he’s made
Arcian
Kanye West has music? Isn't his entire business model all about being a colossal jackass?
AllMyOpinionSuck
eh as someone who generally doesn't like hip-hop and those types of genres I have heard some of his older music I enjoyed.
ProcrastinatorMasturnater
I just never liked his music ?♂️ wasn't my flavor. More of a psychedelic/prog/rock/electronic type guy.
feelinsomethinglikerickmoranis
Flashing lights song from gta 4 still slaps
SirDistic
I listened to Golddigger. His only good song.
benjamino6
Shame, it's good music

Kanye's mental health is deeply concerning & I hope he can get the help he needs; however, I wouldn't be surprised if he offed himself.
schwartzchild76
Unmedicated bipolar
tzahtman
Wow you're unexperienced with a piece of pop culture media! What a monster flex! The rest of us will rest easy now too!
ameranthe
I have probably heard a bunch of his songs and don't know it, but I just wish he would get the help he obviously needs.

schwartzchild76
Lol
schwartzchild76
I only accidentally heard him when watching Entourage
DeathLemons
This brings up more questions than answers. Most of which would be how long do you have to turn the crank each day in your bunker.

I already paid for the bangers like 10 years ago. I can still listen to those while not giving a cent to new derailed Kanye
blumpk1npie
Looking back on it Bound 2 seems pretty derailed
elegba
I don't know why everybody cares that he graduated. Yeah so did a lot of artist and they don't brag /s
Teeeeeeth
Lmao
ANOMNOMNOM
Let's divorce the man from the music for a minute and admit he was a creative force with his earlier stuff
SalmonTheWise
Can't wait for Pete Davidson to go out with his music.
samwyze
I loved his collab with Mike Meyers.
jwh236
I don’t understand this flex. Like somehow being ignorant of pop culture from the 00s to the early 10s makes you a better person?
YaaDude
Correct.
ADDGirl
Usually when I find people who say things like this, they find out they HAVE listened to their music, they just didn't know the artist. >
PolarAntonyms
They’ve 100% listened to music he’s produced. He sucks a big fat one but has produced some of the best artists out there.
ADDGirl
> I had a coworker tell me she hadn't ever heard Lizzo. I pointed them out every time they came on the radio that day. She knew them.
Psilocybinaut
"Well I don't even understand Understanding. I've never listeneed to Understanding and I never will!" (But seriously I don't get it either)
ShitIstoleFrom4chan
This is specially stupid, considering Kanye wasn't just some mediocre pop-star who got big on being cute. The stuff he put out was some of
ShitIstoleFrom4chan
the most influential and well liked music at the time. Tons of bangers, Graduation is an amazing album. Going "so proud to never have heard-
ShitIstoleFrom4chan
it", in my eyes, just makes OP sound like an absolute idiot.
LookinFineLayinDimes
It was the God complex. Calling himself a genius all the time. I couldn't understand why everyone liked him, he's not anything special.
synthetichug
Same, there was even a comedian on comedy central who had a whole bit about it back in the day.
GadenKerensky
He has mental health issues. He's admitted to refusing help and medication because it interferes with his music making. This is the result.
angelblueeyes2000
Not defending his dumb ass, but sounds like his bipolar talking. I don't understand why he's untreated. Does his entourage not care??
GadenKerensky
As I said above, he refuses help.
anononanonanona
Nobody plucks the golden goose unless it stops laying golden eggs
Callistan
Short of forced institutionalization (unlikely), there’s probably not much they can do if he refuses treatment (which, based on some things
Callistan
Said by Kim Kardashian [yes, I can’t believe I’m using her as a source] seems to be the case).
txchief11
You can like an artist’s work without approving of them or their ideas. I officially give you permission.
caconym17
Like rockets and nazis
heyimjephph
The artist would have to put out something worth liking

Forgetting is really easy given how sad it is the trash he's produced has been critically acclaimed.

heyimjephph
Who did it influence to do what? Make more shitty music? How absolutely sad
ShitIstoleFrom4chan
Your fucking loss, Kanye made some absolute bangers before he went crazy and acting like Graduation isn't a great album, makes you look dum.
YaaDude
*dumb
ShitIstoleFrom4chan
You know, I hit the character limit, and I have chosen to write dumb as dum, because I needed space to put a period at the end.
YaaDude
I forgive you. Let’s grab a beer.
ShitIstoleFrom4chan
I'm down. You seem to like cats, so you're probably an ok dude for a dude.
Lazerstorm
Same. Tis a good feeling.
Heisanevilgenius
I mean, it's easy to say we always disliked him. I haven't listened to him because I'm just not part of that subculture.
ChaseRedMoon
I heard one song from him because a musician I know heard it and lost his shit. Forgot the name but it end with like 30 seconds of scoopity
MyGreatestFearBoner
Someone has clearly not been alone with your thoughts.
rhmrcScifiBandit
Or got on twitter
DeltaLaw
I mean I have listened to his music on MTV but I didn't choose that song, it was just on TV. The 00's were a lawless time
gpixelVillain
Now everybody doesn't know him anymore lol you missed out his music is great ;p
elfoe
He's an idiot asshole now, but his earlier albums were absolute bangers. Truly helped shape a genre
eetsumkaus
it's still weird that I've never heard anything from someone who's supposedly an incredibly major artist
Heisanevilgenius
These days thanks to the Internet there are millions of GIANT subcultures we know nothing about.
Heisanevilgenius
Every so often I hear a news article about some YouTube star I've never heard of who has 100 million subs
eetsumkaus
yeah, but Kanye isn't really a subculture, he's like mainstream culture
gpixelVillain
I doubt it
eetsumkaus
I did actually go through some songs on Youtube at one point, so in that sense I guess I did. I just didn't hear any of them before that
gpixelVillain
Fair enough ^^
MadeYouLookAgain
You’ve never gone to a bar in the past 20 years? Youve heard Kanye.
eetsumkaus
what songs of his play on the radio? admittedly I don't go to bars very often at all, and if I do I rarely listen to the music
MadeYouLookAgain
You have the ability to not hear things while in public? Jealous!
eetsumkaus
It just means everything sounds like noise.
moshthun
Fuck Kanye, but I won't deny that 808's and Graduation were amazing albums.
flyinghamstick
Imo, he's an extremely average rapper who got his following because he was a lot of people's first foray into rap.
MrMcGeeIn3D
It's his skill with producing and making beats that makes him seem like a better rapper than he actually is.
leechdemon
Some of his stuff was good; people that like rap and dislike it are posturing. That said, it gets skipped anytime it comes on random.
trulsern
Watch the throne wasnt bad either
OlLineFace
Dropout was a banger production wise.
MrMcGeeIn3D
I used to listen to the entire album, start to finish.
StuckHereWithYouAndThoseClowns
I still go through withdrawals attempting to not listen to MTDF…
StuckHereWithYouAndThoseClowns
Really anything pre-Donda’s passing…tbh
freedomfrogs
You can always pirate it and not talk about it
Teeeeeeth
Yeah Graduation was real good. Probably the only album I liked, but he went and ruined that too lmao
BleedingQuasar
"Yeah, fuck Kanye, though I still like his music and am going to make sure he gets paid by listening to his music" Don't be that person...
gpixelVillain
I listen to what i want
Mupp33n
Separate the past artist from the todays person.
Psilocybinaut
My friend those albums came out in 2007 and 2008 respectively they didn't say they're going to continue to support his work just that
Psilocybinaut
despite his insanity they did like his professional work from that time period.

this is just so absurd. even someone who has the faintest knowledge of pop culture knows kanye west. this whole schtick is tired and lame.
derwahreV
Thats the guy who played batman in the 60s
YOURFRIEND2010
I have never heard any of his songs. Know he's a famous rapper, never heard the music. It's hardly impossible
PandAnomoly
Yeah I was about to say, if you narrow your music choices (totally possible) then you may have not heard his music.
GorillaPowers
I've never knowingly listened to his music, but I absolutely know who he is. Which was their point.
NLOVNI
And I live in a cave. A man cave.
Username62611
He's been on the radio for over a decade. It's much more likely you *have* heard his music and just don't know it.
Username62611
Seriously, you never heard "gold-digger?" Ever? You're a fucking liar or you lived in a cave, they played that song TO DEATH.
Sneemaster
I've never heard that song
Winchester427
That's assuming people listen to the radio, which until working in a place where they play the radio I didn't.
TheSpaceCroissant
I admit Saint's Row 3 got me to like Power something like 10 years ago. Other than that I couldn't name a single song by the man.
merlok13
Did he do a remix of Harder, Better, Faster Stronger?
28dayslaterwasawarning
No, he stole the main hook of another artists song (which was in turn sampled) and claimed it as his own.
Apc00
Yeah but it's better when you listen to the instrumental version

InfocalypseRising
Honestly you probably know a few and don't know it's him. He's had a lot of big ones.
POWAAAAAAAAAAAAR
It was a fun mission that was well-suited to that hit song. As some say, it was a different time, I don't fault you there.
Sixsystems
That's like Flashing Lights in GTA 4.
TI99Kitty
I liked it until I listened to the whole thing. Turns out it was only the instrumental part that I liked. (shrugs)
OtterAvalanche
I had his version of stronger on one of my Playlists on spotify. That's about it.
darkhalfbreed
The Ooooooone Piiiiiiiece is real
AlessandraLaeif
I'm hooked on Good Life.
SoraHjort
Chances that is the only place I've ever heard his music if that is the case. Though I'm a bit of a outlier, not a fan of pop.
SoraHjort
I tend to listen electro music. Electroswing, Synthwave, Techno, and especially VG Remixes (more so than anything else), etc.
TheGriffin
Yeah pretty much
fuckthisusernamebullshit
Didn't even know that was his honestly. Shame cause I kinda liked that track too.
Whodimi
He was always a better producer then rapper. His ego didn't allow him to let others shine. Jesus walks was a killer beat in 2002.
Whodimi
Than*
Gherkincensed
God show me the way because the devil's tryna break me down...
Psilocybinaut
OH MA GAHD I still get so hyped during that mission. The Boss's actions and the events are so well timed up with the song it just kills.
Psilocybinaut
The emotional conflict is real.
Keyosu
Ah yes, the imgur tradition of thinking your cool if you don't know a rappers/artists
allihearisnoise
Based on the music polls alot of ppl here like middle of the road soft rock. Not surprising.
TheSpaceCroissant
Not really about not knowing an artist, more like not having to deal with the fact you've enjoyed songs from a neonazi. Which I admit I did.
Keyosu
Except it is. Anytime something bad about a rapper/artist is posted a comment like this always follows. The situation doesn't matter.
hetnkik999
Gold Digger in an episode of The Boondocks for me.
ImSynnical
And stronger cause it was part of every childhood party
hetnkik999
I wouldn't know about that, I was 20 when the song came out.
