Other than letting us know you know how to utilize the caps locks button. What’s your service? Internet thugs kill me. If you don’t like any of those artists then WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE.

Oh yeah, Gaga for the #win!

Gays do not rule anything except each other’s buttholes. I’m sure yours is stretched out to the point that you shit your pants everytime you sneeze..That being said, you should probably go change your drawers instead of coming in here talking about how gays rule everything.

Why do gay people always think everyone else is gay??? It’s like some sort of security blanket/defense mechanism they use to help them validate their own gayness. lol fuck that shit.

I totally agree with you biskts. I dont see why people have to lower the tone when they talk about gay people either, as if they’re not human like everyone else. SMH at some people’s ignorance.

By no means do I think they are all perverts. I was simply speaking on a commonality amongst gays that I have personally witnessed. Gays are always gossiping on “who else is gay” and making statements like the one above claiming that everyone is gay. I don’t have to hold my tongue about it or be politically correct here. That shit is uncalled for and a clear indication that the person is trying to come to terms with their own lifestyle choices by accusing others of being like them. If you are gay and keep to yourself and aren’t on that gossiping slander bullshit, I’m not directing this to you. But to the gays that do this type shit, and you know who the fuck you are, do you and keep other peoples name out of your mouth when you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. People get hurt like that and then wanna cry about it and claim they are victims of a hate crime….nah…you just got dealt with for running your mouth like the bitch that you are.

It’s amazing how you can say ‘gay” and straight people freak out.

stop being ignorant and afraid. Gay people do not want to sleep with you all. Straight people are ugly looking too!

Recognize gays are leaders in the industry. They don’t come out because someone has to be the fool to buy the product since str8′s judge easily because their ignorant and stupid.

What a Shame!!! 09/14/2010 at 4:05 PM

We’re living in the last days which is why homosexuality is on the rise and out in the open. Satan has broken down moral standards and many of us live in defiance to God’s will. Because of the Anti-Christ spirit all you gays finally feel free to do as you please. When Jesus Christ returns its a wrap. If you dont turn away from your wicked ways and nasty lifestyle you will burn in hell for all eternity. You may laugh on the outside but deep down you know better. There’s nothing worse than seeing decendents of African Kings acting like Queens.

Oh Gosh 09/14/2010 at 7:53 PM

When Jesus returns it’s gonna be a wrap for almost everybody! So stop singling out gays and worry about turning from your wicked and nasty ways before your black ass winds up on roasting over the coals.

What a Shame!!! 09/16/2010 at 12:22 AM

It’s not gonna be a wrap for everybody. When Jesus returns its gonna be wrap for those that haven’t accepted him as Lord and Savior. It will be a glorious day for those that have been saved by grace. Since we’re on the topic of homosexuality I chose to address that issue. We as black people spend too much time worrying about celebrities. I don’t frequent these blogs but every now and then I like to see what my people are doing. Its sad that in 2010 we’re worried about Kanye and Lady GaGa’s influence. Both of these artist are under Satan’s control and their sole purpose is to distract you from living your life for God.

…KANYE

..this is why I say KANYE; it is because people tend to gossip about Gaga because of the things she wears and she is an advocate for the gays..think about about it any of her records could of easily been a Britney record or a Christina record or any of typical pop artist…

..to me KANYE is EXACTLY what music needs!! KANYE has passion..period.
you can feel it you can hear it..nobody can deliver a KANYE record but KANYE but any typical pop artist can do any one of Gaga’s records.

Reply

blyx 09/13/2010 at 4:34 PM

i’d have to say kanye. gaga’s influence is so extreme that it would be difficult to convey aspects of her influence in normative experience.

dressing like kanye west gets you the side eye and may get you chased in certain neighborhoods – but that’s it. acting like west gets people thinking you’re a primadonna but you can still hold down a job.

show up wearing a dress made of meat or spikes or concentric circles with shoes that are technically impossible to walk in – and you can’t get on the subway. you get hunted down by PETA – you get all types of infections like trichinosis, etc.

gaga’s effect on behavior is nil because her music is actually rather bland and conservative. kanye talks about wifing up blonde dykes and stuff but niggas would praly do that anyway. Kanye is actually a strong representative for most urban men under 30. attended or graduated college, hipsters, overly emotional because they had no father figures and therefore had nontraditional relationships with their mothers.

long story short – kanye.

Chillum 09/13/2010 at 8:29 PM

“pa pa pa poker face pa pa pa fuck her face” is not in the least bit conservative. Neither is her video to “Love Game”, where two guys are cruising each other in the subway and she’s having a 3 some with two other guys and later kissing on a girl. BTW have you seen her video to Alejandro? Um yea!

I am by no means defending Gaga, she’s a gimmick to me. IMO both artists are very influential, they’re just influencing different groups of people.

At this moment Gaga definitely has more pop culture influence than Kanye and will most likely far surpass Kanye in the coming months and years. Just turn on the tv and you will quickly see that Gaga is the artist that the younger pop generation is gravitating towards.

Reply

Anonymous 09/13/2010 at 5:23 PM

idk about that. i think the media will continue to push gaga on the masses bc shes so out there but how far will she go to keep attention on herself. if gaga was to throw on jeans and a t shirt would she be the same? her persona is her identity. at least beyonce has some down time to just be B. that way she can push away the insanity. i think kanye wins and i think gaga will eventually self destruct.

Reply

Y 09/13/2010 at 5:36 PM

As much as I’m not a Gaga fan, I actually agree wit that. We’re talking about mainstream influence here, not just the ‘urban’ scene. There are far more people globally who turned on to Gaga than they are to Kanye. She just reaches more audiences and peoplelike her

I would have to say Kanye, I wouldn’t say hes the reason, but He definitely had a big influence on wearing fitted/tight pants on the younger generation andhave them be more aware of fashion. His music has versatility. He was the Louis Vuitton Don, As far as trends go, He was a tastemaker at some point.

sideshowRaheem 09/13/2010 at 6:19 PM

It’s very difficult to say…GaGa has spawned a couple of wannabe’s like Ke$ha and even influenced Christina Angular last album problem is they all are looked at as GaGa rip offs instead of acts influenced by Gaga. Kanye has a deep impact and you could defiantly argue that because Kanye has proven to be such a success over the past years labels have been much more inclined to take chances on artist such as Drake, B.O.B, Nicki Minaj, Wale, Kid Cudi etc……Of course everything I’m talking about here is just music related not pop culture related. It seems like the whole world waits and watches to see what ether one of these two do but you wont be able to truly answer that question for at least 10 years because the impact that people like Madonna and Micheal Jackson had couldn’t not be truly be measured until enough time passed so that that people that grew up listening to them were old enough to be influential artist themselves.

kanYe for sure. No one has so much passion in music like kanYe. I mean of course there are passionate people in music but kanye just takes that into another level and make it legendary music. kanYe will definitely be a legend in hip hop in 10 years, but to me he already is.

Oh by the way today in school my professor who is around 50 something if not 60 told us that she has bought Lady Gaga album and she’s a fan of her music. So it tells that gaga maybe reaching out more people with different ages but she ain’t saying nothing new in her music at least to me to start listening to her.

Right now, today, this evening….Lady Gaga has way more influence on pop culture than Ye does. Pop culture looks to her as its new leader and practically worships her. Kanye is too busy admiring and worshiping himself that his “pop” audience is rapidly loosing interest.

BR(.)(.)KLYN 09/13/2010 at 8:09 PM

Lady Gaga without her outfits is just not GAGA, Kanye without his suits and fly clothes a legendary producer rapper who has fans who been riding with him since day one something Gaga don’t have.

she sure is talented but in my opinion the outfits is the major thing that keep attracting and buzz to her.

They both share fans, as well as have their own individual fan bases, so I think that they equally have the same amount of influence over current pop culture. You could go just about anywhere in the world that has access to mainstream television and radio, and the person being surveyed on this question would immediately know who both, Kanye & Lady Gaga, are.

Personally, I would listen to Kanye over Lady Gaga any day of the week… but, that’s my personal preference. That’s not to take anything away from Gaga and her talent, I just like what I like and that just so happens to be Gaga in much smaller doses in comparison to Kanye, or any other hip hop artist, for that matter.

I believe that this choice has a great deal to do with the fact that I’m a grown, heterosexual, black man over the age of 30. Even though music has a universal appeal; having the ability to unify people of all backgrounds, transcending many of the barriers that separate us, I also believe that demographics play a pivotal role in the choices that shape our personal preferences.

If this question was being asked last year around the same time, I would’ve most definitely said Kanye. But what a difference a year makes! Becuase as of 9/14/10 I think that Lady Gaga clearly has more of an influence on pop culture than Kanye does. I don’t think that Kanye would be able to start a new global trend right now this very second, but I know that Lady Gaga would be able to. Gaga is more marketable and has more of a pop oriented fan base. Also, the media currently likes her more than they like Kanye and that plays a big role too.

Gay people need to move to their own island somewhere. I don’t like the idea that it’s ok to be gay because it isn’t. I think we should hang gay people in public like they do in Iran. I see nothing wrong with it because what they do with each other is extreme sexual perversion. You people can defend it all you want to but you wont change my mind. Being gay is the same to me as being mentally deranged and dangerous to society

It’s a shame that the sexual activities of other consenting adults has you so filled with so much anger and hatred. I say your sociopathic hatred is more dangerous to our society than two butt fucking dudes are. Or maybe you’re self-loathing and the hatred is coming from something deeper in you that you need to deal with. Who knows… either way you need help.

There have been more than enough scandals involving closeted homo’s hiding behind God and religion to rail against their own sexuality. So can the God speech because you don’t have the power to decide or tell me who God does and doesn’t love.

Undisputed – Kanye
WAKE UP PPL!

-Kanye has redefide fashion more than once cause it was HIS passion and style.
*Pink golfshirt trend before he was even famous.
*Brought back the sport jacket over the t-shirt and jeans.
*Luis Vuitton
*He brought back auto-tune that changed the industry (now EVERY genre is redoin auto-tune)
*Hairstyles (it would take an authentic trendsetter like Kanye to bring back the black mullet (cant remember the exact name of that style of black mullet).
*Style of music from his first album and Rocafella days that sampled real ol’skool soul tracks chipmunk style.
*The all black supermarket style sunglasses.
*Jean jackets (and now Levi’s Jeans).
And so much more i don’t even have the time to think about.

And do u see ANYONE with gaga’s clothes or hair?…ummm nope!
