Better Singer: Kanye West or Paul McCartney

i can't condone this thread but i also can't not vote

voted for the singer

What song have Paul Mccarty even done? "Say Say Say" and "Spies Like Us" those are terrible song. Kayne has a beautiful foice and has better song's so it's Kayne easy.

This thread.

Better Singer: Linda McCartney or Kim Kardashian, now there's a thread

Lindsey Buckingham

hen fap

The pig from The Black Cauldron?

In Paul's favor: his best stuff is probably better than top Kanye. Against him: his worst material's probably much more abysmal.

his worst material's probably much more abysmal.

i wouldn't go that far

"probably"

In Paul's favor: best Nirvana singer

hmm worst Macca vs worst Kanye would be an interesting comparison

Just saw Macca's hologram video for "Destiny", is he off the rails or what.

Paul fans at least seem willing to admit he has a "worst"

is he off the rails or what.

tbf he probably shouldn't be doing coke at his age

Has Paul ever released an album as bad as 808s & Heartbreak?

i know a lot of critics haaaaaated Red Rose Speedway, but haven't heard it myself aside from "My Love," which I enjoy when I pretend it was made up on the spot.

"do you even know what you're saying, paul?" vs "i wish you hadn't just said that, kanye"

I liked 808s :(

I know what the right answer is, here, and I know how DJP feels which is why I voted for the wrong answer :)

i don't understand the question.

There's a big difference between Paul putting out a bad album and Paul being shat on by early 70s rock critics in the wake of the Beatle breakup.

Red Rose Speedway is a great album, but if you're looking for a Paul stinker, look no further than Off the Ground. Only like 2 good songs, dated poor production, boring bring dull. Also Pipes of Peace, such a letdown after a career high like Tug of War

I don't get this? Can Kanye West even sing properly without Autotune? McCartney isn't among my favourite singers, but clearly he's objectively better at singing than West.

Would rather listen to Runaway on a loop forever than Hey Jude

but they want to know who sings better, not "runaway" vs "hey jude"

both are megalomaniac geniuses with little-to-no quality control.

kanye, obv. only reason he hasnt sung more since 808s is because he knew that in the near future he would be working with paul so didnt want to show up his future collaborator.

although kanye is so far the worst singer of 2015, in light of only one.

Both have timeshares in the Algarve and urinary tract problems

808's and heartbreak vs Press to Play

easiest choice in the world -- right there, that's it, YES

Because of xp I bow really want Kanye to remix Press

The two best singers in this poll are Kanye West, Kanye West, and Kanye West.

He's just hanging with Paul to get in on the Stella F/W 2015 runway show.

Jesse McCartney vs Paul McCartney

Hey Jude already is on a loop!

McCartney, of course.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Are we comparing Kanye to Paul now or Paul in the 60s and 70s?

we're comparing Kanye 30 years from now to Paul McCartney when he was 11

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Rockists

when did ppl stop rating 808s

Since its release iirc

Would have voted Paul, he could smoke Kanye under the table

Ew

808s is his best and most interesting album, how is this not the accepted wisdom re kanye

having a real twilight zone moment here

808s was pretty divisive at the time and got set up to be the kind of commercial disappointment/backlash moment that Yeezus actually ended up being, but it won the war and had huge radio songs and sold millions and has an enduring legacy of influencing Drake and all these other big records/acts that came after. but in terms of his catalog the people that rate it #1 are always gonna be a small passionate cult.

808s is the most cohesive album, it's definitely something you buy into or leave on the shelf, no real singles or w/e though

hadn't thought about it, but is it the only Kanye album with no Jay Z content?

yeah for a lot of guys under 25 Kanye starts with 808s.

like for a lot of guys there's no Jay Z before The Black Album.

;_; don't say these things, Alfred

I still remember the time this dude at a Jay-Z show I went to was playing Jay-Z tunes (without headphones, fuckin dick) and then boasted he was gonna play some obscure old Jay-Z track everybody probably didn't even remember, and then he starts playin...Linkin Park/Jay-Z's version of "Encore". and this concert was in 2011.

is it possible the dude was nose-tweaking heads with that? "lol, they're expecting something from reasonable doubt well, hee hee..."

where by "probably didn't even remember" he really meant "probably would like to forget"

he spent about an hour talking to his g/f about how Jay-Z just *had* to play "99 Problems" because it was his ultimate song and then kept reciting the first line over and over again, so I'm pretty sure the issue was he didn't realize there was a world pre-2004.

sorry, 2003

haha ok was just projecting why I'D drop "numb/encore" on the crowd at a jay-z concert

yeah for a lot of guys under 25 Kanye starts with 808s.

still don't understand how this is possible

i do think 808s is the most genuinely brave and weirdest album of kanye's career, way more than any of the ART ART ART I AM AN ARTIST stuff he's done since

you are marveling at people not being aware of music before a certain date

just making sure that's what's going on here

thanks rap police

didn't vote but kanye

eh 808s was also the peak of his POP ART period, though. for me the part of the "Heartless" video where a rotoscope animation Kanye emotes in front of portraits of Jetsons characters always represented the pitiful nadir of his ambitions as an aesthete.

i dunno, i found those portraits of jane, judy and rosie to be a such a bold, unique way to cop to one's madonna-whore-robocop complex

lol mind blown

808s had some of Kanye's most successful commercial hit singles though.

I feel like "people just aren't aware of his history" is not a legit move wrt Kanye West

like from the faux-backpacker humbrag schtick of college dropout onwards his whole career is based around being deliberately past-negating with each big record
