40 years from now...

Is it ok if I just wear whatever Esquire and Details tells me to wear?

I don't have time to follow rappers.

No way, faggot. XXL, The Source, MTV, BET, Wiggers and Kanye.

I hear pocket squares are in this summer? Is that true?

But will he be remembered less? The youth doesn't care about the Ramones the same way you do, they do care about Kanye West.

Anyone who doesn't care about the Ramones doesn't count in the history of popular music.

The Ramones have earned their place in music history; Kanye West has earned fuck all. Most people that know Kanye West know him as "that fucking bellend off the telly."

In a movement as wide as the slit in the end of my cock Mr West is a a megastar but outside of that he is about as well known as Bobby Davro.
You can quote me album sales or Grammy awards all day (awards mean fuck all. They're all bought and paid for. Anyway, you can't "win" at music). Fact is he's the 2000s version of Five Star.

Kanye has done nothing to ingrain himself in the public consciousness besides acting the fucking cock at every opportunity. If you think of him as some sort of modern day Michael Jackson or John Lennon then you are either hopelessly deluded or you are stuck in the ever popular trap of "what's cool when I'm young will stay cool forever".

Your dad thought the same thing about Foreigner.

bump

20,000 white people over the age of 30 starred blankly at the stage tonight as "iconic, uber famous, living legend super recording artist" Kanye West bombed in embarrassing fashion because nobody knew who the fuck he was.

When put into the context of a show with tons of real, genuine, iconic stars, guess who got over the least?

itt, people with zero perspective

[seaplus]

Kanye West?



people are joking right?



no one honestly thinks ... no way ... just ... there is just no way

[Villain]

By the way... When it comes to active musicians, I think Coldplay has the potential to be listened to for 40 years.

And the Foo Fighters.

itt, people with zero perspective

lol.

You're comparing how Kanye West(who's barely over 30) does with a crowd full of older white people, to how Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and The Rolling Stones do?...People who were making music before he was even born?

ITT, people who don't read the thread title and old heads who are sitting on the porch eating straw and using a spittoon.

15% of these people will be alive in 40 years.

Also, for some perspective. Kanye West has 3 albums on the RS Top 500, 18 Grammy awards, 6 platinum records, and 17 top 25 hits. The guy has cemented mega-star status and because Bruce Springsteen fans don't listen to him has no bearing how he will be remembered in 40 years.

I'd love to see how 15 year olds feel about Bruce Springsteen.

[DoubleDeuce]

I'd love to see how 15 year olds feel about Bruce Springsteen.

Well for starters, they've heard of him...

Changed channel to MLB Network when kanye performed last night. Dude sucks.

Hey, if we're just taking data from random groups of people, then Paul McCartney is already forgotten.

Again, missing the point.

He isn't nearly as famous as you think he is, and isn't even close to being an iconic figure.

Also, I tried telling you that people over 30 have no awareness of Kanye West earlier in the thread, and you basically laughed at me. Now you're agreeing. At least you're coming around.

[EmpireWF]

Kanye is just another rapper to everyone over...lets say 26.
