Less than a week and a half ago, Kanye West unveiled his Pusha T-assisted single ‘Runaway” 
at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards through a charged performance. Subsequently, West released the song, still featuring the Clipse emcee, but without the Akai MPC vocal samples he used in his stage performance.
Today West revealed the official cover art to the anthem claimed to be for “assholes, douche-bags and jerk-offs.” The artwork features a ballerina twirling against the composition of a green wall, seen below:
“Runaway” is expected to be included on West’s fifth album, reportedly titled Dark Twisted Fantasy, due this fall on Def Jam Records. (September 21)
UPDATE: Last night, Kanye West revealed a painting interpretation of the previously released photograph, tweeting that it would now be the official cover:
Very nice.
So gay
U R that GAY !
Hugolin why don’t you LOVE ME NO MORE?(OH BOY)
Yeah this looks pretty gay. And this is coming from a huge ‘Ye fan.
U guys are a lil bit retarded ! Here’s a ballerina and all you see is something gay! I would be ok with you if the ballerina was a man but a big gay like you can’t make the difference no more !
all you ye dickriders quit getting offended….this is gay cover. if u don’t think ballerina is gay then your prob gay. its def. not cool….but i know you love everything he does..he’s so artsy lol get a fuckin clue. But yeah the songs real dope so i could give a fuck what the cover art looks like. who buys cd’s nowadays anywayz??????
Agreed. Good song, gay cover
don’t agree. that’s probably the most original cover in hip hop history. why? because Kanye ain’t like everyone else. that’s what we like about him. hip hop doesn’t always mean fat ass hoes & cocaine fuckas. hip hop also means creativity, pushing the limits. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW A DAMN BALLERINA CAN BE GAY? 50 Cent’s cover for The Massacre his gay.
“original cover”
dude stop making up shit
This is gay?
How is this any different from a woman in a bikini??? Not enough sex appeal? You macho “hetero” guys are quick to call something gay. Maybe you should check your reflections
Duce Rivas “Thats Real”The blunt smokin pill poppin beer drinkin Colombian scumbag from New Jersey http://www.youtube.com/ducerivas2
Yeah you are all right, dumbasses…First of all, it is not gay, and even if ot was, who cares? Second, what is the gayest? A cover with a girl dancing, or a cover with a hughe boy showing his muscles? All of you saying that this cover is gay would like to see covers with guys on them? OK, pretty logical…
Word, niggas would be quick to 5 rate the massacre but a woman in a tutu is mad gay right? smh
I understand why you would think that, but a female ballerina with her skirt up on a song cover isn’t gay
You are gay though. Go spread your legs for the- dream.
So y’all do know that homophobes are in the closet right????
I just finished fucking your mom in a closet.
Says the gay homophobe
haha. i can’t believe people these days. first of all, how come gay people bother you that much. to me, as long as their dicks ain’t in my ass they can do whatever the fuck they want. second of all Kanye loves women like no one else. also, a ballerina is gay only if the dancer is a man. finally, i’m tired of all you fuckin’ closed mind fellas not able to recognize creativity. so there’s no 38DD chick, or any cadillacs on the cover, stop thinking with your dick a second, cause it’s so small you can’t see clear anymore.
oh shut up
kangay is a loser
I fucke your mom again in a closet. Lupe go get fucked by bishop long!
@who who
so much intelligence & cleverness in your words.
@@lupe
my mouth’s shut, i’m typing. and we don’t have the same definition of loser. yours is him, mine is you.
And just when u thought Kanye could not get any Gayer, here it is.
Kanye must be stopped. He even got Pusha-T looking like a fag up there.
It’s called gettin’ your grown-man on. Kanye’s not a fag. Nor is Pusha. They both look clean and classy. The look, sound and vocals are all products fresh, innovative, artistic ideas and expression. It kills me inside to think that there are so many uneducated, simple-minded idiots in this world. Who gives a fuck if this song is hip-hop or not. Why label it? It’s art…period. That’s bigger than any music genre. This song is amazing. It just is. No way around it. Grow the f up.
the song sucks
stop lying

Rap fans think an album cover with a half-naked girl is “gay,” and an album cover with a half-naked dude is “straight.”
Let’s just pause and think about that for a minute.
Every time I read the comments to a news article on this website, it makes me sad about how prejudiced, hateful, stupid, ignorant and f’ed up hip hop fans are.
The second anybody says something that could be construed as SLIGHTLY racist, you blow a gasket. But you don’t hesitate to hate on gay people like Fred Phelp’s son all day long. We’re all human beings, and you guys are the absolute worst of the lot.
Well, i don’t know about anyone else here but I personally don’t have problem with homosexual people. I just don’t like Kanye because he is a fag. i don’t care if you are straight, gay or Micheal Jackson. If you gonna act like this douche bag and make wack music and try to pass it off as “Hip-Hop”?
I’m going to call u a fag.
Yall do have a problem if you look at a ballerina and immediately say gay. I respect that shit, don’t like it, but I respect it. I’m not sure where some of yall went to college, doesn’t look like many of you, but most big D1 schools will REQUIRE some athletes (football players) to take dancing classes that involve ballerina type moves for balance, but I suppose that shit is gay. The ignorance is ridiculous.
Its not a dude on the cover so its not gay
Why no black girls?
And shit looks extra gay.
no black girls cuz ur mom didnt want to come
Cuz who wants to see a black girl every time you listen to music. No one.
damn, yall cats love sayin something is gay, smh.
When did females become gay to a guy? Some people just jump on the hate train, for real.
Can someone clarify for a nigga, How is a women with her ass showing and skirt up gay? Not thick enough for niggas tastes or something? LOL
When I first seen this the first thing I said was gay and then I read the comments and a lot of people said it to lmao but what is his motive behind this a fucking ballarina come on man he could of atleast had a young hooker on there they run aways but I love kanye music and all but he do some gay shit outside of that I wonder what his album cover gone be
your so gay get a life
Ballerinas are a symbol for the purity of women and in the performance Kanye wore Red and Black and symbolization of his evil intention and an asshole…hence…pure bitch….runaway from the bad guy
dont care about the cover art. the song is dope and kanye owned the show. just glad to hear new shit from him
mad gay
your mad gay
gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.gay.
Gay people dont bother me, its fags I have a problem with
a stupid picture isnt news anyways
god its amazing how GAY this man is!!! he needs to just come out and tell the world that he loves cock cause its clear as day that this man is gay!!! and i know what his fans are saying… how is a picture of a girl gay?? well kids lets just clear that up.. its a fuckin picture of a ballerina dancer!!!!!!!!!!!! GAY!!! he is a rapper.. a producer of hip-hop.. a emcee right?? thats hip-hop?? fuck!!!! i hate this new age rap!! gay ass tight jeans pussy ass bullshit!! kill yourself!!
you’re probably gayer than a fuckin’ ballerina. it’s not because you knwo how to dress that you are gay, you probably wear baggy pants awith a white tank top and shit. you’re so cool… so cool. you’re a real man.
He’s gay because a ballerina is part of the artworks composition? Lemme brake it down for ya ace, you’re a mental midget. He’s “gay” because there’s a hot, in shape, sexy female incorporated into the artwork? Do you see how your conceit is counter productive?
@lupe miller and seejgee!!! No i dont wear baggy jeans at all and i only wear white tank tops when i am going to sleep!! so your wrong there.. and i dont care how you twist this.. he is gay because he actually thought about that as the cover and its just not hip-hop!! there isnt anything wrong with that cover if it was for a dance class or up and coming musical show!!! just not for rap music.. it doesnt make sense.. it doesnt fit.. and i am not closed minded!! it just seems to me that he is trying to hard to be different! but i will not try to change your minds.. your all brain washed and the typical 2010 hip-hop fans!! for some reason you guys like this whole new age rap bullshit with tight jeans, robot auto tune voices, girl album covers, crying at award shows and interviews, and just acting like a fuckin bitch!! maybe im just to old now for this new soft ass pop shit!! my bad!! ha
Read what Ronnie has to write.
It is correct and the dude knows what they talking about.
co-sign 100%
honestly, i have to say i respect your opinion. i totally agree with you on the auto-tune & soft pop shit part. thanks for taking the time to explain without insulting anyone. my brain ain’t washed though. let’s remember we’re talking about a cover here. what would be on a ‘normal’ hip hop cover, according to you? a Bentley? hoes? grillz? cocaine? if you think so, i’m alright with that. let’s just think about other album cover that have no link with their music genres. Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon; Coldplay’s Rush of Blood to the Head & Viva La Vida; or Muse’s Origin of Symmetry. they all have nothing to do with the artist or the album title. that’s what art is all about, going somewhere else. ballerinas & hip hop? why not.
@Lupe Miller!! Ok.. i totally would never want to see a Benz or big house or money or hoes on any album cover.. i hate that commercial money hoes and chains rap just as much as i hate this bubble gum teen soft pop rap thats got everyones attention now.. its the same to me.. they both destroy the art of hip-hop music. maybe i think this way cause of the emcees i grew up listening to and from me being brainwashed by them i guess i cant respect or get into anything else.. but i would rather be brain washed by underground rap then this bullshit out now. emcees like vinnie paz, canibus, talib kweli, the roots, and emcees with meaning and skills.. and they all had album covers that were not typical for rap.. but it wasnt a dancer spinning around on her tippy toes. haha it just seems soft and gay. and i dont have an issue with gay people.. it just is what it is. talib kweli had a great album cover with his train of thought album. thats the shit i like.. it was different but still had a feel of hip-hop to it. get my point now? glade we could talk like adults haha. peace
YOUR A FUCKING FAG YOU KNOW YOU BE JAMMING TO KANYE IN THE WHIP PUSS BOY
nobody jams to this dude.
kangay is a pig.
damn.. this is an ill as song.. i dont care what an emcee wears, if he can spit, he can spit… and kanye (and pusha for that matter) can spit.. in kanyes case he can spit, make beats, produce.. dude is talented as fuck and one of the best HIP-HOP artists doin it… just because its different dont mean its wrong..
so just because he put a white dancing female on a cover, he is gay????? are you people that simple minded??? tasteless??? its called art, its called stepping away from chains, cars diamonds and hoe’ish looking women and looking deeper into an artistic view. grow up you losers, its a new decade from Christ sakes
this and a thousand other things we can think of.
dude is a fag.
not because of one thing, because of many many many things.
Fuck all the gay talk, i’m lookin for a studio version with MPC sampling on it, made the shit sound crazy!
it’s offial Kanye is gay!!!!!!

dope
Yo i don’t know if im tripping but the new cover is a dude dressed up a dancer look at the fuckin mustache (if thats how you spell it haha) but ya hes a gayfish
OPEN YOUR EYES
this dude hates white women.
it is so obvious.
what a fag
He put a white man in a ballerina dress lmao that man has balls that shit is flying over yall head! we know whats really going on!
kangay is a pig.
he tries to promote this bullshit album, with almost every song title having something to do with religion.
Dude get off that bullshit already.
You can dislike a certain religion if you want, but once you start trying to sell that idea you are a moron and a satanic pig.
kangay is a pig.
i dont get it song is dope and isnt this the same dude (kanye) that was knockin off amber rose (she bad)! but dude is gay smh how bout people just listen to the music if you dont like kanye cool thats your right but why get on here and listen to the song only to hate on it i mean how you spend your time is your business but im not spending it hatin on the next man dueces
nobody hates ye
ye is a pig.
ye is the hater because he tries to profit off of insulting and hating others.
I don’t click on this link because I hate ye, I click on it to expose this hateful moron.
If you try and manipulate people and make money off of them by insulting and criticizing other people you get exposed.
plain and simple.
kanye hates on others, here you are saying you don’t hate on ye.
I don’t hate ye either but he hates on other people.
he is getting exposed.
ye hates white women and religion it is obvious because he doesn’t stop talking about either one.
fuck em he’s a faggott he tries to hate on people and then he gets exposed.
that’s how it is.
You said it yourself, you’re not spending your time hatin on the next man.
Yet this is exactly what kanye does, he spends his time hating on specific groups of people and then tries to profit off of it with fake advertising and fake marketing.
this site is an example of media manipulation also.
they keep putting ye on the front page with the front headline almost every time you click on this page.
That is bad for hip hop.
hip hop is supposed to be about diversity, but this site is ruining it because they keep trying to plug the same idiots.
when they released a kangay song they didn’t release songs for 24-72 hours you can look that up by checking the audio.
so the comments and plays are skewed because they are fixing it that way.
they are overpromoting for this idiot and it is media manipulation because they are giving preferential treatment to this dude.
like I said this dude is an asshole, his music is garbage and has a negative message.
he hates white women and specific religious groups he’s a moron trying to profit off of hateful material.
and then he gets preferential treatment from this site?
so obviously something is wrong and it is done by people controlling the media, this is not being done by the people.
yes yes!!
who owns hip hop dx????someone figure that out
is it the same corporate giant that owns the label kayne is on???
is this site just a promotion of the musicians that are owned by that same corporation….and they just ad. small stories of other artists as a front????
yo yo could be! let’s not be fools
but i dont get the whole white woman shit i doubt he hates them… if anything he be happy to take their money too
the painting cover seems to be a jab at white women or whatever that is supposed to be.
because it looks creepy and repulsive.
Add in the Taylor Swift thing and the Katrina thing and well we just don’t know.
There certainly isn’t enough evidence to say the dude doesn’t have some sort of racial or prejudices that he is trying to promote in his so called “music”.
We don’t know either way, but normal people shouldn’t be getting negative vibes from this stuff and these kinds of antics, and plenty of people already have.
lucky banks and pusha t were on the track to save it! both true mcs!!!!! every1 else was wack
God WTF happen to real rap?????? this new age soft ass pop shit is not hip-hop. am i the only one who thinks this shit is gay as fuck????????????? im not even talkin about the cover.. its clear that shits gay.. im talkin about the song.. the style.. the singing!! or lack of singing i should say… the direction of it. the direction of kanye!! i mean this shit isnt soft as hell to yall?? its not pop music to yall?? are you really listening? is everyone seriously this brain washed?? a bunch of followers!! facebook rappers and fans.. twitter ass followers!! what the hell happen to rap music??? and why will i be called a hater for this?? i’ll tell you why cause the game is so lost and fucked up! young people now have no clue what real rap used to sound like.. they just dont know cause when real rap was out they were still getting walked to the bus stop by their parents. this new age shit is killing the art!! it seems to me that yall like an accept anything that comes out!!! you call kanye the best thing to ever happen to rap.. yall say he has great lyrics.. fuck that.. biggie had great lyrics.. 2pac had great lyrics.. big pun/big L had great lyrics.. thats what they are talking about when they say hip-hop is dead. peace
yes good post agree with you.
I don’t understand what the fuck these cats be doin anyway this media shit fake hip hop shit wtf are these people doin.
they straight up wack.
shit is wack everywhere in the media I don’t support any of this bullshit.
i wont call u a hater…i’m more than old enough to know the good shit from the 90’s and even the 80’s….
the truth is…ur argument is pretty valid, but NO ONE from any ONE ERA defines hip hop…thats really just personal opinion…i agree that the classic east-coast 90’s sound IS HIP HOP but thats TO ME…there was hip hop before that which i cant deny, even if its not what I associate with the definition…and more that came after that earned fans, and as a result, a lane…just not MY lane…
out of all this new school shit…yes, a lot of these cats are selling bullshit, not even just gangster and pop bullshit, but now we have this artsy new age bullshit as well….but i dont really have too much of a problem with Kanye, i actually believe dude has artistic vision AND talent…he’s just a little weird sometimes….
now as far as being SOFT…
hate to break it to you but rap started off as lighthearted party music, not hardcore street tales, so truthfully, some of these pop/rap artists are closer to hip hops roots than you would think…and even back then some cats went too far with the shiny stuff and neon colors and the futuristic weird shit, even make up…this shit has been around a while…
hard rap music is still out there but its not mainstream like it was in the early 90’s, not to mention, when a lot of cats do it now, they’re really just doing thier best impersonation of what they saw back then, not doing their own brilliant new thing…until somone can do hardcore AND innovative, we wont see a resurgence in mainstream hardcore rap for a while…
rant over…
vh1 reports that hiphop started out as fun dancing loving people. i doubt that was it, i believe that the experimentation of mc-ing over a dj’s beat caused rapping(not hip hop) to go in that direction.
The party scene back then was an escape to the sorrows of impoverishment… break-dancing was on the comeups and well at the end of the day i believe hip hop started there….it’s like a drawing you cant just pick up a pen and paper out of nowhere and expect to be great it takes time….
fuck when ppl say hiphop was fun and loving back in the day because thats just the repeat of what TV tells you
but @ron i agree with half th shit you say except that its not cus its soft that doesnt sound like an informative opinion nor is it gay……..and it isn’t the fact that ppl are young i’m 22 and i think the music of today is irrelevant. it’s a problem of well marketing schemes and corporate manipulation and that has existed since the beginning of hiphop
that’s a pretty good post.
many good points.
the only thing I would add is that the corporate control was alot less in the 1980’s & early 1990’s because so many artists were heard from and given proper platforms to express themselves.
No way hip hop could have started in the 1960’s it wasn’t until the 1970’s & 1980’s that people started to gain more control over what they do, now in the 2000’s were are going back to how it was in the 1960’s arguing over politics and shit like that.
So there is no sense supporting today’s so called “popular” hip hop artsits because they are just puppets for the corporations.
In the 1980’s early 90’s, way more people were their own “corporation” and could reach plenty of people without the main media involvements.
YEP THATS PRETTY GAY..!
it ain’t. but something tells me you are.
Kanye you’re supposed to be a hip hop artist. A producer/MC. THAT (the pic) is not hip hop in any sense of the word. What is it? It’s awful.
what’s awful? a girl? art? something different than hoes with fake DD’s? you must be clever/open minded/intelligent/brilliant. it’s a fuckin cover for a single, most rappers don’t even have that. hip hop doesn’t mean grillz, money, bitches & cadillacs. it means whatever the fuck you like expressed through g.o.o.d. music. Kanye does it perfectly so be quiet and go away. and stay there.
both of your comments suck…kanye is whack lyrically he is good topic wise he is overrated. the photography is ok but useless
Is everyone on here so single minded. HipHop isn’t like it used to be. Obviously not.. everything progresses. can you imagine how boring tracks would get? You can only say so much in a verse. so if tracks were the same and lyrics didn’t change. HipHop would be sh*t.
Man whatever!! this shit is not hip-hop.. its pop fag shit from someone who is going waaaaaay out of his way to try an be different.. in the end its just some wack lyrics with digital voice running all through this shit!! i understand that times change but music is timeless and i dont care if its the year 4000 rap music should never sound like this!!!!! never!!!! rap is street music.. hard lyrics, hard beats, cuts from a dj, samples from old school songs with dope hip-hop lyrics!! not this gay ass soft pop shit.. call it what it is.. its pop not rap.. fuck outta here!!!!!
hip hop ain’t never changing son.
it is what it is.
mic, dj, rhymes, realness.
sitting on a milk crate telling it like it is acting like you broke in the daytime, chillin in the vip acting like you a billionaire at nightime.
running the same cycle the next day.
takin whatever pieces of information you have and helping people.
when u got extra cash, that’s extra help for the real people who deserve it. the ones who work hard the ones you can see on an everyday basis.
person to person.
never accepting a dollar or signing on the dotted line, why would you?
you are here to give to people, not take and/or sellout.
these clowns can take a shit and wipe they ass everyday they still won’t change the real people.
hip hop ain’t never changin son.
it ain’t what it use to be but it still isn’t progression
you are so ignorant to accept and acknowledge the fact that these niggas capitalize on the glorification of a life you will never live because A Capitalism is systematically built for a select few to ever reach a status of significant wealth.
THe music that is pushed to the market is complacent and pointless and less revolting for a reason and that is to maintain the status quo.
there isn’t a market for rappers that expose the controversial realities of the world because it would corrupt the social order so think again when u are listening to your useless rhyming of random things
great post. 100% co-sign
I could try and guess wth this is supposed to be saying, but it just looks like some faggot bullshit.
huge black asses with thongs isn’t faggot bullshit, you’re right. we should put that on every cover like every other artist. that would be some more creative shit. or maybe some rims, that’s so much more masculine. i hate it when artists tend to do be different. creativity isn’t right.
it doesnt have to be either or…life aint between 2 options
a. irrelevant picture fronting to be artistic
or
b. bitches in thongs
……..shit aint black & white there is a vast amount of gray matter that ppl seem to overlook
i know it isn’t always have to be black or white. i agree with you, there’s a vast amount of gray. my question, why cant it be black (or white)? i’m just wonderin’ why people are buggin on little things like this (art covers), the fact that it’s unusual doesnt make it wrong. if the music’s good, who cares.
I love this new Kanye West rap song Runaway its awesome. I cannot wait to see the Kanye West music video for this hot rap song too as Kanye West music videos are always hot. I love Pusha T`s flow as well hes a really awesome rapper. His rap & hip hop music videos are cool as well. All these Kanye West song releases has just wetted my appetite for his highly anticipated new album which is going to be amazing with hot collaborations with Lil Wayne, T.I, Drake and many more hot rap artists.
that’s a fake post son.
good for laughs though
why don’t you go somewhere else and leave people alone. if you say Kanye ain’t shit, don’t waste your time posting on subjects related to him. why don’t you post something intelligent and constructive on artists you like. i don’t care about you OR your negative comments. i personaly don’t give a shit if you like him or not, you see. having an opinion and show some love doesn’t make you less smart. so go ahead and say we are DICK RIDERS like the other 8 millions motherfuckers who said it before you. go ”dick ride” your underground shit, or whatever you like.
a nigga can post what he wants
ppl with the anti-oppression mentality aren’t to talking just to make everyone agree……at the end of the day we dont give a fuck about those that find us crazy we looking to recruit those who believe our ideologies are sane!
again another stupid post by you.
go somewhere else?
you telling someone on a free blog to go somewhere else.
I’m not botherin anybody son, they don’t have to read if they don’t want to and I’m not charging them either not signing dotted lines not working with corporations, no tv time slot either.
So again you make no sense.
I am posting something intelligent and creative for the artist I like.
You know who some of the artists I like are?
People getting tricked by red devil horns dude, that’s who.
Because everybody is an artist in their own way, and I’m posting something intelligent and constructive for them to read.
All my comments are 100% positive.
If you can’t handle it that’s your fault, you want to stick to the telemarketing bullshit go ahead.
8 million right?
Nah, another number you made up.
fake bullshit advertiser.
wtf are u talking about?
fanaticism is a bitch aint it! haha
no one told you to go anywhere or to shut up….read carefully use context clues as far what i said. fall back there was nothing intelligent about what you said. positivity my ass u promote corporate welfare unknowingly and you are unaware of the connection. so let people post what they want get informed.
ha! fanatics boggle my mind.
negativity???….i’m telling u hypocritical minds framing words to their advantage
if yall niggas were on some anti-negative shit then why do promote artistry that exploits and capitalizes on the materialistic mindset that has been subdued and greatly influenced by propagandistic media!!!
if you was on some real positive vibe hippie shit then you wouldn’t listen to hip hop….cus its a genre that was created by the people of the slums depicting a story of desolation!!!
fuk outta here wit yo shit!
@ yo and again
damn are you a fuckin’ politician.
music is all about what sounds good to your hears and makes your head bump. people should stop thinking and start feeling. who cares about medias and propaganda and shit. if i like, i listen and buy. if i don’t like, i don’t waste my time writing posts. seems pretty simple.
Why?
Have you heard yourselves??? Kanye hates white women, He ain’t hip-hop, This isn’t tough, This is too soft. STFU.
Being a lover of hip hop in every literal since of the word wether it is the elements or its history, I find Kanye to be a breathe of fresh air. Too many times have I been cranking some tough 90’s hip hop and have felt that most of these artists never did the things they claimed. My parents use to bash me for wanting to be apart of such an un-classy genre. Kanye and G.O.O.D. music has put class to rap. Instead of people jumping around and acting a fool its simply just art.
REFINED ART. I still bump my “hard” rap. But don’t we all just need an escape from the litany and violence from time to time??? I’m not gonna wear a jersey everyday, somedays I’m going to wear a sports jacket or a suit. Kanye has put class to such an urban genre. I appreciate what he’s done, and as an artist myself, I appreciate what he does for the listener.
nah son you’re post is total bullshit.
You tell other people to STFU, but its ok for you to be on some nonsense about dick riding this loser?
Sorry it doesn’t work that way.
This dude is a moron straight up, no ifs ands or buts about it.
Nothing to do with hip hop, message is negative, music is trash, image is garbage.
That’s what it is.
You think you can tell other people to STFU than be able to voice your opinion?
No, that’s not how it works.
You just proved that ye and some of his fans are total assholes with me first agendas.
stick the telemarketing bullshit post up ya ass for real dog
@ Nah you STFU…why you so negative homie? You need a hug or somethin? Why don’t you do something positive with your life instead of bashing other people?
To side with the anonymous dude, Kanye definitely changed the game. I like his artistry for real. He aint the best lyricist but the feeling and direction he brings to the game is cutting edge and innovative. Plus dude has some good beats! But that’s all i got…lol
You’re wrong son.
I am 100% positive
I am doing something positive I am exposing a hateful asshole who uses the media to manipulate people.
Not bashing anybody homie, giving out proper information. You’re the one who is negative because you’re saying I’m bashing people when I am stating the truth and helping real people out with the proper subject matter.
kanye didn’t change any game.
He just runs his mouth about a bunch of worthless garbage with the sole purpose of making money off of them or trying to bring conflicting issues to them.
kanye has no real impact on the game, he just wastes people’s time.
“class” to hip hop
yo hip hop is the story of the oppressed!
coming out of the slums of the desolate….
i find it offensive that people can greedy capitalize and exploit this rhythmical poetry
The 90’s hiphop was an explanation and awareness to the atrocities that overwhelm modern day “ghettos”
the difference between the mentioning of various criminality in the music of today vs. the 90’s. is that current mainstream hip hop is more of a glorification than a depiction that is entirely lyrically retarded.
Rappers like the illest Big L, use horror rap that uses humor and dramatization to make a point. i don’t think it is an issue of whether or not they lived but that they intricately paint a picture.
what further becomes problematic is that 90’s hiphop presented the issues going on in poverty stricken hoods and talking about it now-a-days is played out and irrelevant. taking about “the trap” “the hood” “the ghetto” just promotes the idea that it is cool to be poor and ignorant
I tend to believe that listeners of hip hop are anti-oppression and enjoy listening the genre because it is an escape to all the bullshit propaganda music that is out there. rappers of today have the obligation for the people to speak the truth. Like my nigga Immortal Technique–now that’s a guy who should be praised.
At the end of the day kayne perpetuates the idea of “bullshititis” He doesnt suck lyrically but his message is pointless
SO fuck your whole premise. it’s not hip hop that needs class….it’s the listeners who need it my nig!
kanye is doin alooooooooot of acid these days take it from me only a lot of halucinagenics would make him think this new style of his is hot and makin super artsy paintings for songs. but with this picture here i think he needs an intervention lol
Check this out.
I’ll prove you are wrong.
You know how so.
Because you are telling me to STFU.
I can make a post if I want you.
You think you are the one who is positive and I am negative when you are the one who is telling me to STFU.
Both you and anonymous posts are incorrect.
Here you are trying to tell me to STFU, then think its ok for you to talk.
So it ok for you to talk but not me because I don’t agree with your media manipulation?
Sorry doesn’t work like that.
nice try on the propaganda bullshit though.
WHY the fuck everytime I come on HipHopDX I see Kanye Fuckin West is the main headline on the home page??? The people running this site got a major dick right up his ass, overpromoting his lame ass to the maximum. All Kanye west speak is negativity and about totally irrelevant things just to make himself seem controversial or some shit. People who know the deal don’t give a fuck about kanye west. Notice I aint callin him ‘Ye’ Fuck him!
I agree with you bro.
I don’t understand what they be doin with this shit.
On front headline every single time I visit this site is this idiot ye.
WTF kind of shit is that?
This is supposed to be hip hop.
One dude that’s all they talk about unless they do another stupid plug for j or em don’t get this shit whatsoever.
Its total media manipulation the exact same thing that ye says other people are doing in his lyrics, he’s part of doing the exact same thing!!
WTF is this bullshit.
Get this fuckface off the front page and talk about hip hop and real shit.
and then the fake comments are stupid just as well, they are all fake comments telemarketing for ye because they never respond after 30 minutes!!
WTF is this robot bullshit.

@to anon:
you idiot. just because someone doesnt reply after a half hour doesnt mean shit. maybe they stoop by the site, drop their two cents, then do something else. some people arent logged on to these hip hop sites all day long like others are.
you’re wrong.
if they don’t’ respond the comment is usually automated and fake.
they wouldn’t respond in the first place if they weren’t interested in what others posted.
