They're wax figures and it's pretty obvious.
oh
This video is probably just a PR stunt to boost the (soon to be released) opening night of Kanyes Celebrity Nude Wax Museum. He's a real renaissance man, Kanye.

It's the saying "They're all in bed together" taken literally.
Everyone in that bed was made famous by another; bar Kanye, Trump (who is just there because he has to be in everything in 2016) and Bruce Jenner

Kanye's obsession with TSwift is kinda creepy tbh

Look at Google searches for Taylor post kanye interruption.

I subscribe to the thought that everyone's in the video because they are (arguably) recognized more for the drama that surrounds them, rather than the talent they have or what they've accomplished.
[QUOTE=Psycho9182;50605039]Look at Google searches for Taylor post kanye interruption.[/QUOTE]
You could try and claim that kanye made her famous based on search results for her peaking but she had [i]just won a major award during the event happening[/i] so it's kinda fucking hard to base it off that, yeah? Plus, Kanye's jumped way more than Taylor's search results who has been almost totally consistently more popular than Kanye since roughly november 2008 (stage event happened in 2009). If you really want to use google search results as a metric you could make a much stronger case for him using that event to try and bring attention to himself, because he was less searched than her before and got a massive boost, and went back to being much less searched after.

No, it's literally about how each of those people were brought into the public eye by another
Actually you may be right, I didn't catch the Cosby at the end.
any link to video?

I knew who Taylor Swift was before I knew who Kanye was.
[editline]28th June 2016[/editline]
Early Taylor was a huge country artist, while Kanye has always been a huge Hip Hop artist. It makes sense that people who listen mainly to those genres exclusively would not know much about the other while both remain huge stars of their Genre.
[editline]28th June 2016[/editline]
[I]Especially[/I] genres as opposing as country and hip hop. A fan of either could go their whole lives without hearing many examples of the other.

AHAHAAHA.
Swift has sold more than double what Kanye has with half number of albums.

I don't know man. I think Kanye will be remembered for his works like Jesus Walks and Touch the Sky more then Taylor Swift will be remembered for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together".
His new music may blow but his old music is some of the greatest music of our time.
Plus it's hard to recognize her because she's non existent in the black community. She never comes up when music is talked about.
popularity doesn't necessarily equate to how influential an artist, there are tons of performers who used to be incredibly successful but did nothing in the way of "changing the game"
i mean bon jovi aren't really deemed "influential" despite their lengthy success

The point being argued was that Kanye somehow made her famous which is demonstrably untrue. They're both talented artists in different genres serving different demographics. It's stupid to say one is better than the other, or more influential, or more this or that, when both exist in different spheres from each other.
They're both good at what they do. They've both been influential in their genres.

It's called being a pop musician. Also, Swift has changed genres multiple times. She has several audiences.
[sp]She's also been a shit musician until just recently, but that's just my opinion.[/sp]

considering that that's the members of NARAS voting on who they thought was the best album, somehow 1989 still won?

No, it does not come up when niggas talk about music. only time I hear of this girl has been when kanye said something about her
her fans are little white girls with parents who will buy anything for them

[QUOTE=Duck M.;50613144]I wasn't referring to popularity? He has absolutely changed the game multiple times in major ways[/QUOTE]
i was going along with the dude above me, saying kanye not being as popular as swift doesn't mean swift is more influential or memorable than him. i'm agreeing with you :v:
i know that isn't really what's being discussed but i was just pointing it out
[editline]29th June 2016[/editline]
like swift may have bigger numbers when it comes to album sales but in the long run i think kanye will have a more lasting impact because he's objectively been hugely influential in his genre
that don't mean he made dat bitch famous doe
[QUOTE=Duck M.;50613186]Grammys are a joke and mostly a popularity contest, at least AOTY is[/QUOTE]
Speaking of the Grammys, if Bowie's Blackstar doesn't win Album of the Year, I'm going to start a one-man riot in the streets.
