Kanye West Is Reportedly Considering Legal Action Against the Pirate Bay
An anonymous reader writes: Kanye West apparently has a new mission: to sue The Pirate Bay. Last weekend, West announced that his new album, The Life of Pablo, would be sold exclusively as a download from his website and the artist-driven streaming music service Tidal. The news sent Tidal to No. 1 on the U.S. Apple App Store, so West pulled the album from his site and announced it wouldn't be released on other streaming services. The Internet responded by pirating his album in droves.
If you think any rap is thought provoking, then your experiences with music are extremely limited or you're an idiot.
As someone who can not only play music, but write it. This is dead wrong. Rap, much the same as electronic has a broken tempo, there is no flow, timing is all over the place. Add to this the grating tones they use and none of it is harmonious or melodic (I.E the notes dont naturally flow into each other, it's like playing an A minor, D major and then and F5 in the same bar, they just dont work together because their radically different chord families). At best rap can be compared to poetry (which is why you concentrated on lyrics, not musical composition) and even then, it's pretty bad poetry.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
Music? When did he start doing music? I though he was a rapper.
