    I have to admit, I used to think Kanye was stupid and without really talent.

    I was wondering if there were other old Kanye haters our people who disliked him and, if yes, which event maked you curious about him.

    For me it were his collaborations with Paul McCartney.

    Never hated the guy, in fact as a kid I loved his songs on the radio, but I didn't get into him or rap really 'til MBDTF

    What exactly made you reconsider him having talent? Did you immediately listen to his old songs after the collab with Paul?

    I like people that dare to admit they were wrong.:banderas:

    Always enjoyed his music but I was one of those "Kanye is a jackass" types + combined with despising autotune, especially during 808s (still don't totally love his autotune, Only One, and even Wolves are just okay).

    But, in 2013.. Yeezus + Attending the Yeezus tour + Kanye's angry/inspirational interviews + His passion for design is what turned me into a Kanye stan.

    HE'S JUST MISUNDERSTOOD

    Never hated him, found him when I was 7 and became a fan when I was 8. so I never had time to see what the media portrayed him as without being a stan

    Never really hated him but it was actually 808 that made me a fan. It made me listen to his older albums. And then the GOOD Fridays/MBDTF came which made him one of my favourite artists.

    Never really hated him, but I didn't give him a chance for a long time. My friend played me All Of The Lights when the video was released, which convinced me to run out and buy MBDTF immediately, and I've stanned him ever since.

    Never really hated him, never really loved him either.

    But I'm slowly growing an appreciation for his craft.

    I didn't know his reputation until after I started listening to his music, by then I was already a huge fan, I always tend to unintentionally attract myself to the most hated musician/sports club so he ended up being my kind of guy haha,

    I used to hate him up until like 2011/early 2012 and then by the beginning of 2013 I was a full blown stan. hands down the best artist of our generation.

    Never hated him, started listening heavy around 2010, when I was 15-16ish

    He's always been misunderstood, has never had a bad solo album, and is easily one of the best hip hop artists of all time

    Hope you'll appreciate his newer material some day. I think he keeps getting better.
