Mom dies, breaks up with his fiance & makes 808s & Heartbreaks within the same year. Give the guy a break. His music, awards, longevity in the industry & record sales speak for itself. Kanye West has no filter, doesn't care what you think, makes what he wants and has become one of Hip Hops elite acts because of it. Give the man SOME credit at the very least

+Rafael Dj Dropz Briseño 100% correct. The Bandwagon has been made, and those who place themselves fit to judge will ride it. People who genuinely appreciate music understand Kanye, but ppl who just want to mash their head to banging clatter cant get past his actions, hence why people even say ' the old Kanye' , because they never liked Hip Hop or Kanye, they just riding the wave, and Kanye broke through all their barriers so they had to notice him. And that shit is what kills every single fuck boy who rides that wagon, because they would never have the balls to live or say the shit Kanye thinks. He told the fucken country that George Bush dont care about Black People. White America cant stomach that shit. Point Blank. Then he told their Untouchable Taylor that her shit was wack and really, Beyonce killed you bitch * drops mic*. LMFAO How can you hate this guy?????

Or he really wanted to pee

This is one of many broadcasts and interviews with Kanye that I have watched and in my opinion he is a very empathetic, deeply feeling person that simply has the available spotlight and social inability to properly express his feelings alongside his popularity. He is distressed about many things, the death of his mother, the chaos and obvious discrimination in New Orleans, his seemingly decided victory of Beyoncé and then defeat.....among other things.He seems overwhelmed with sympathy and the desire to help those less capable of speaking out for or helping themselves. He is an enormously emotional and sensitive person with many views and opinions about many things and is being given a really bad reputation. I think he is a genuinely kind and compassionate person that few understand fully. If you watch his various interviews and witness his remorse for his responses to things you can see he definitely meant well but was misconstrued and misunderstood. There is a lot of good in Kanye, if you look a little deeper. I hope this doesn't offend him or show him in a way he doesn't want to be seen, but...this is my opinion of Kanye

A lot of people feel weird to see him this "chill" , but he's not an angry or bad tempered person , for decades it's just those moments that put this impression of him into people's head , but there's also moments when he's making jokes , having discussion with all kinds of people and enjoying time with his family . That's why I can relate to him , when we're on edge some people choose to express themselves in a certain way . Also he's really got too many thoughts and ideas in his head , he's never meant to just do music and go on shopping spree like other artists .

CrashN2Me1000 He's a very emotional person who was very close to his mother. Also, I think the point being made in this thread is the fact that he didn't "perk up." He is still under contract for an album release, and he still has to do his job even if he's depressed. Honestly, I don't think he is low energy because he's depressed, but because--as his raspy voice indicates--he was sick.
