    Kanye West: The Official Request Thread

    Yeah, some of you are going to hate. But a few of his tracks fit the format, are overall great songs, and would give the vocalists some fun.

    I expect to hear the following insults:

    -"Why don't we just get the songs he sampled lol..."
    -"This is ROCK Band, not cRAP Band..."
    -"All hip-hop/rap sucks..."
    etc. etc. etc.

    Get over yourselves. The following tracks (save Through the Wire) have original guitar parts, and non-sampled percussion. And some kickass violin on The College Dropout tracks. Songs to use:

    All Falls Down
    Diamonds Are Forever
    The New Workout Plan
    Stronger
    Through the Wire

    I might pick up the other songs to support hip hop in the game, but I'm not much of a fan.
    Would you pay for music by Beck?
    Maybe.
    What if you heard he owned a plane made of gold?
    Sure.
    Good, because he needs the money.

    I think he did the opposite. The song is one of the stronger ones on his 2nd weakest album.

    Kanye West is one of the best rappers of this generation and I would love to see him be included in Rock Band.
    I hear that everybody you know is more relevant than everybody I know.

    Agreed. Not a big fan of him (although rather him than Snoop Dog.) I'd like Run DMC and Public Enemy more, but I do think that more Hip Hop should be in the game. Kanye could be a good intro to Rock Band, and he'd be good for parties.
    Not removing this until we get some Sunn O)))
    in which case this will be on for a while.

    If we are going to get Hip/Hop, then please god atleast get Hip/Hop with talent. BTW when i heard his song Stronger on the radio i cried at how a song i've loved for years had been turned into straight vomit.

    Edit: i completely forgot to mention the fact he is the worlds biggest self-centered, ignorant *****.
