Those were my exact words while watching him tonight.

Coming from him, his second set was especially hollow, with his message of "coming together", IMO. That number may have worked with a different performer, not him.

Damn, I dislike KW and the persona he presents. "Me Me Me Me and Me. And more of it, please. Now"

I suppose he's getting great reviews because he's Kanye but it's pretty painful to listen to.

Some guy dressed as a Perrier bottle repeating the same line over & over is ALL THAT? I thought he sucked. YMMV.

Used to appreciate his beats back before he became a brand and a big name. When he wasn’t even rapping on records he was pretty talented.

Just watched that weird ass performance on SNL and I said to my uncle that he’s basically just the musical and commercial equivalent of caviar now.

He has people convinced his fashion brand is worth high prices because it has cache as ‘ Aquired Taste’ and because a t shirt costs $$$ rubes actually buy it: this is how he relates to Trump I think. He actively has a kind of disdain for his fans too - but he needs them to stay relevant.

in 2008 and thought it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. He stood on stage in a sweater and jeans with holographic flying asteroids and spinning planets and ended his set with “Don’t Stop Believin “ by Journey. I thought it was superb. It saddens me.

cordial to him than they had to be. He must have felt the chill in the air.

I never liked his music. I saw him on SNL when he was a guest the first time. I was curious about him because he had just said that Bush did not care about black people. That remark had gotten a lot of attention. I watched and listened then, and decided that he had no talent. My opinion has not changed.

His politics suck but he’s an acknowledged master of his craft. And even if he wasn’t it’s still music and it’s still art.

Are people big enough to admit that?

Self-hating POS.

Apparently after #SNL ended #Kanye @rukes went off his meds to start sing/pontificating about how liberals are racists and how racists are better than democrats ... in a #MAGA hat. He was properly & soundly Booed. Extreme Wealth is its own kind of privilege. #SaveDemocracy

I suppose I would have felt differently if I was 14 or 15, but then why have him on an adult show? Awful.

Whatever. His value needs to go the way of that rapper who sang "u cant touch this" - MC Hammer. Bankrupt.

He has a massive ego covered in a very thin skin so I suspect he identifies with trump*'s "disrespectful words" from President Obama, during the correspondent's dinner, all those years ago.
