YO! Sidenote: Ibn Jasper is that dude and his blog is the truth. He put me on to the Marc Jacobs documentary...
why are people a little more hesitant to embrace his eccentricies? IMO, Andre 3000 didn't get as much scrutiny and neither did Cee-Lo.
...
There are several reasons for this.
People just don't like Kanye for whatever reason. He rubs people wrong (now)...mainly because he has the nerve to talk about being great and wanting to be recognized for being great. People just don't like that/him. 3000 is humble. Cee-Lo is humble. I'm sure they think they're great...but they don't publicly say it.
I've never had a problem with it because he's not lying and I act in a similar fashion when I'm good at things. I actually don't understand why that bothers people at all...but whatever.
^ I think that's a fair assessment of the situation.
Also, it is true that the Dre was considered all those things even before OutKast really and truly blew up. Not to mention there weren't blogs and such atthe time. All of this is much more visible now as opposed to when Dre and Lo were doing it.
But it's whatever. Love it or leave it alone...
