A lot of talented artists are jackasses. It's not like he's some hack like p diddle.

"He needs to leave Taylor alone"

This may be too late, though Taylor threads are constantly resurrected again from years ago on this board, but let's remember which artist dedicated a whole patronizing song performance to the other at an awards show in front of millions.

"A lot of talented artists are jackasses. It's not like he's some hack like p diddle."

Additionally, there are a lot of sane artists and performers who have also snapped back at the paparazzi. I'd sit back and wait for the whole story because sorry, I find most paparazzi to be creeps with undiagnosed mental illness and a bit more forgiving of celebrities that snap back at them even if I'd rather not it be violent.

He is the black alec Baldwin. Beating up paparazzi, calling young blonde girls terrible names. Well at least he has the decency to not do it to his own child....yet.

Talented artist is debatable.

College Dropout, Late Registration, 808s & Heartbreak (personal favorite), Cruel Summer, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy are more than enough proof that he is talented. He can be a pretentious wank but to objectively say he is not one of the more talented artists working today of any music genre is nuts.

then let's hear it for the nuts!

I don't happen to believe that what he does requires talent. We're entitled to our opinions without being we're told we're nuts for having them.

I don't think he's talented,

Me neither. I think he's an insecure, self , attention whore self.

"My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is a masterpiece of an album.

He's just not my bag. His use of the word, "dyke," annoys me to no end.

As big and long as people like you and Entertainment Weekly give him the attention.

Jay-Z and Kanye are more rock stars than whichever rock band that Spin or Rolling Stone wants to proclaim as the next big thing. In terms of state of mind and not caring what others think about wanting to be the best, the richest, and the most famous, that group of hip-hop artists are more rock stars than what represents rock music in 2013.
