the song he did with estelle was a pretty great pop song, but I think kanye is a douche.  talented producer for sure, but a douche.

not many guys who produced so many great beats

Pretty much just Dr. Dre, Dj. Premier, and maybe Rza.  Kanye is definitely incredible.

Rap sucks.

mainstream rap sucks, agreed.  the non pop rap scene is pretty damn good.

I wouldn't know. I gave up on rap in the late 80's early 90's, anything after that is junk.

ok, but mos def, talib kweili, and common are not amazingly fast, but they have badass beats and lyrics, is that skilled in your mind or do they not "spit it" quick enough for your tastes.  or what about dell the funky homo sapien?

Del is way under appreciated.  He is one of the few guys it is impossible to rap along with.  A flow unlike any other.

I wouldn't know. I gave up on rap in the late 80's early 90's, anything after that is junk.

In the 90's the music industry started a new form of marketing with rap.  as opposed to marketing an artist, they started marketing a lifestyle to justify the actions of the poor (relatively) black community.  They knew that rich, white kids parents would rail against the music, and that would drive up sales.  It was perfect.  It led to offensive, bad rap coming out in great quantities.  for instance, most rappers today (that are famous) make more money from ring tones than albums sales or radio spins.  telling, no?  A similar marketing technique has happened to country music.  Once the Nashville sound took over in the mid 80, they started marketing the red neck lifestyle to justify the anti liberal movement of the south.  The true country greats, like waylon, buck, cash, willie, merle, were not singing songs about the american flag and terrorists. they sang about the people, the land, the country, and it's problems, not to mention, tons of sunstance abuse. Now, we have most of america thinking country music is terrible, which, on a popular level, is entirely true.  the music industry has a massive amount of power on pop culture, most people just don't realize it.

That's pretty interesting/true.  Where did you here that?

Well, I'm a musician, singer/songwriter/multi instrumentalist, and I have done extensive research on the marketing strategies employed by various artists and labels, and came to these conclusions on my own (but I am not alone in these thoughts).  When I finish my BA, I'm going to get a masters and do my thesis on post modernism and the marketing of pop music.  Also, I'm hoping to bypass that next step in education for a few years and write a song that gets me famous... OR release that song to another famous musician and reap the monetary gains i would make as composer to make my education expenses much easier.  I currently have one song being looked at by an up and coming taylor swift carbon copy.  It only takes one song to get you into the exclusive circle, so that's my hope (like katy perry, she allowed kelly clarkson to use a song, and someone else, and BAM once they hear of that, your in.  in her case, she's hot, so she's a pop star easy).  Yes, I do realize my  hypocrisy of railing against the lame practices of the industry, yet trying to get into that industry.  I'm not trying to fight a war, i'm trying to make some money and have fun doing it. oh well.
