The answer is in the last line of the song
'We all self-conscious, I'm just the first to admit it'
[QUOTE=Desuh;42193122]I just don't get why he is rapping about that while being a bad example himself with his materialism.[/QUOTE]
it's not really a life lesson so much as him thinking to himself. one time he went into a fugue state pondering the implications of the word "bitch" on twitter
[QUOTE=breakyourfac;42193024]That's arguable because the song all falls down describes how horribly materialistic the youth is.
'It seems we living the American dream
But the people highest up got the lowest self-esteem
The prettiest people do the ugliest things'
'We'll buy a lot of clothes when we don't really need em
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
Cause they make us hate ourself and love they wealth
That's why shorty's hollerin', where the ballers at'
But I guess that goes with opinions and tastes in not going to change yours.[/QUOTE]
Yet unfortunately it's the horribly materialistic youth, the type of highschool kid who gets a new phone every 6 months and spends $300 on some Nike shoes who mostly listens to his songs.
Then he kind of perpetuates the image by not being a role model for his fans, so his message falls on deaf ears and if anything makes the listeners worse off.
It's not as if hes doing it on purpose, hes really not a BAD guy for the most part, but he's not Socrates 2.0 in lyrical form or anything. Hes not the only rapper talking about the materialistic youth.

Kanye does that

[QUOTE=breakyourfac;42192603]Kanye is one of the best rappers out there, don't say otherwise until you've listened to late registration and college dropout. I know if I was a celebrity I would just pay some organized crime to fuck up/scare paparazzi. Kanye even says in his songs like "next time I'm in church no photos please". "I know that we the new slaves, I move my family out the country so you can't see where I stay" etc.[/QUOTE]
bruh im the biggest kanye stan ever (seeing him 10/25 so happy!!) but i dont think he is the greatest rapper, he makes some good ass music and is one of the best producers but rapping isnt kanyes best aspect by any means and there are 100s of better rapper that are big in the game right now that are better than kanye.

Lol bro in the same song you quoted from Yeezus he talks about whooping ass and taking and smashing people's cameras (maybe its black skinhead but still).
[QUOTE=Lamar;42192088]Why are there so many people attacking the paparazzi? They essentially do the same thing celebrities like Kanye do and that is bring some form of entertainment for the masses. Neither really brings any true worthwhile contribution to society.[/QUOTE]
except when kanye entertains people, he does it with [I]consent[/I].
following kanye around when he's living his life =/= doing a performance at a concert or recording a music video

seriously man how could you say that with breathtaking lyrics such as "EATING ASIAN PUSSY ALL I NEED WAS SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE"
I still don't understand how and why Paparazzis aren't considered harassers because, after all, what they do is just flat out harassment.
[QUOTE=FreakyMe;42192091]Could you imagine the dream of fame coming with a sea of flashing lights and questions trolling for a bad reaction every single time you leave private property?
I'd eventually snap, and do a lot worse if I were given the treatment that stars are given every day of their lives, where they can't even relax anywhere that is legally considered public without a sea of photographers swarming them and shouting demeaning questions at them.
Just because it is legal now, does not mean it should remain legal to do what these people do to make a quick buck. The bigger problem is that they've done nothing else with their lives, and clearly don't even have the education or talents to make it as real journalists.[/QUOTE]

"Forrest Gump mama said, life is like a box of chocolates
My mama told me go to school, get your doctorate
Somethin to fall back on, you could profit with
But still supported me when I did the opposite
Now I feel like it's things I gotta get
Things I gotta do, just to prove to you
You was getting through, can the choir please
Give me a verse of "You, Are So Beautiful To Me"
Can't you see, you're like a book of poetry
Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, turn one page and there's my mommy
Come on mommy just dance wit me, let the whole world see your dancing feet"

Doesn't matter, you can't just attack people because they pissed you off.

"Doesn't matter" is a terrible sentence. Of course it matters, that's the cause of all this.
Best counter paparazzi tactic.

Again, it doesn't matter how annoying the paparazzi are, what they're doing is not illegal but attacking them is. You don't just attack people because they piss you off.

people generally get angry if they have crowds of people attempting to snap an unflattering picture of them for the media every day for their entire lives. if i had paparazzi following me everywhere i went you bet your ass i'd eventually snap and shove one.
you'd do it too.
[editline]14th September 2013[/editline]
if you ask me, defending paparazzi is just like defending the WBC. sure it's legal, but doesn't mean what they're doing isn't awful.

So because it's legal, it's okay to stalk someone? If I stalk a person and say I'm a paparazzi, then it's not a problem?
Realize that responding to insults physically is pretty common and hard to avoid, anywhere in the world, given that human nature is based off violence.

are you implying I hate rap? like i said before, i was just fucking around with that comment, i'm a huge kanye fan and i actually like that song.
papparazzi are such fuckwits, disgrace to the journalism industry. one of the most respectable things about journalists is that they're willing to put themselves at risk in order to get a story out to the masses. papparazzi wanna bring the most low brow photos and bullshit and will scream assault the second someone even touches them.

Paparazzi is that kind of kind of job that makes me lose all respect for an stranger.

"Oh...i see...bye"

well I would hardly compare the two but it is harassment yeah and tbh we wouldn't lose anything if it was made illegal - no one with any amount of sense gives a shit what snooki had for breakfast or some shit

I wouldn't get mad at the actual photographers, they're just doing their job. I'd be more angry at the vindictive culture that supports this kind of shit and the people who profit off it by composing magazines full of this shit
