Outside of his "extra" moments, he does have talent. He wouldn't be around this long if he didn't.

Same thing was said about Eminem when he was in his prime. He was an ass too, but he was still talented.

Your opinion.

Whatever, you consider her a nobody because you don't listen to her music. People who don't listen to Kanye think he's a nobody too.

Your opinion =/= my opinion, and that's fine with me.

BTW, every one of those links is dead.

No. My opinion =/= your opinion. I dont consider her a nobody because I don't listen to her music. I DO listen to her music. Which is why I can more objectively say that her video was not the best among those that were nominated. I knew who she was and knew her music before the VMAs but the majority of music listeners did not. She wasn't that popular. Do I think she could have gotten there on her own? Yes. But realistically Taylor Swift was not a major act. She is still a "new" artist. And if you compare her relevance in music to that of Kanye West she would be a comaprative nobody.

SHE did not intend for them to be links. SHE just didnt remove the hyperlink from them. The point was to post facts to show that Kanye is relevant and has won many awards which contradicts the point that he was an irrelevant artist who didn't or doesnt win. Here is the link...

She is relevant. She's one of the biggest stars of the past year.

Kanye has been out a while longer. He's more critically acclaimed. He has more crossover fans than she does. To say he is irrelevant is naive.

This little episode thrust her further into the limelight.

I'd rather talk about Dwayne Wayne.

Seriously.

Taylor=relevant. Kanye=relevant. For different reasons, different music, and to different people. Neither "made" the other relevant. Let's move on.

Agreed - it's kind of funny to claim that either is irrelevant, and to me shows a pretty stunning lack of knowledge about pop culture. I say that as someone who's not really a fan of either performer.

Also, the VMAs are still being held? News to me...

I never watch MTV anymore, but I watch the VMAs because they always have the best performances of any of the award shows. High on theatrics, energy, choreography and just generally very entertaining. Witness this year's as an example...everyone keeps talking about Kanye, but pretty much every performance kicked @$$.

I just don't use the Wu-Tang Clan as an outlet for enlightened social commentary through hip hop or rap. I find Kanye to be a huge FAIL in that area. I listen to the Wu for entertainment, and they know who they are (RIP ODB) and it isn't to spread messages about blood diamonds or joining Broke Phi Broke. I have a special place in my heart for the Wu, to the point I made a Killa Bee costume and wore it for Halloween two years ago, and we made sure to swarm as a group.

They want to hit someone's balls with a spiked hammer, form like Voltron and the Gza happens to be the head, and they gonna swarm like Killa Beez!

Dunno dude . . . the more technically proficient members of Wu (particularly Ghostface and Raekwon) pretty much exclusively deal with inner-city social issues on some scale. Sure, any more Method Man raps about what it's like to be Method Man, but one of the reasons why Wu is great is the mixture of adroit, intelligent social commentary with great rapping and good production quality.

What if Charmaine had been in Taylor Swift's shoes? I don't think she ever would have stopped talking.
