kanye has no plans to record bowie tributes

Why was this even a rumor? He's never done a cover album, at most he has a line in a song referencing someone's death. I hate anytime Kanye becomes a point of conversation on this subreddit like it has in this thread because there are two extremes. You have the one side that will downvote anything negative said about him which is something you will have for any big artists. Go post something negative about The Beatles and you will be downvoted, even if it can contribute to a conversation. It sucks but that's just how a lot of subreddits work and like it or not, Kanye is one of those artists that receive massive critical acclaim and a ton of fan fare. Then the other side will complain that Kanye is untalented, makes shit music, and is an asshole. I mean even OP who wanted some discussion says after complaining that there is no discussion on this thread:

that being said, kanye wests music is, in fact, shit. and he is an egomaniac who doesnt deserve a mcdonalds paycheck.

I'm fine with him saying something negative but it contributes absolutely nothing to the conversation they supposedly want to have. Honestly, I haven't seen a negative thing on this thread be said that actually contributes to a conversation so as much as it sucks a lot of the negative things being said are condescending and kind of deserve to be downvoted.

People love to look back at the 60s and 70s for music back when there were "real rockstars." They love to fetishize the rockstar attitude and musicians just not giving a fuck. Today, we have a guy who, at worst, is occasionally a jerk to other musicians at award shows and gets tons of hate by the same people that loved that rockstar attitude of the past. I'm sure everyone here has an artist whose music they love but has done some unsavory things in their personal life. I like The Beatles and John Lennon but Lennon was undeniably an asshole and beat his wife. For me, that takes nothing away from the quality of his music. Roman Polanski is a scumbag that deserves to be locked up for the rest of his life, but in my eyes Chinatown is still one of the best movies ever made.
