    @KievanTiger
    I have no problem with Kayne, there are a FEW artists of this generation that I can still listen to like Eminem, D12, Obie Trice, DMX, Dr. Dre, because I grew up listening to them in the early 90s through the early 2000s. It’s just the artists who think they are good at singing because they can use the most horrendous settings on an autotune machine to make them sound “better”. [Better being completely subjective here]

    I have no problem with Eminem, in fact, I bought his newest CD a good month ago and it flows fluently in the stereo.

    Seems odd to me that I can remember every word of this song from all these years ago and half the time I can’t even remember why I walked in the room……

    To be honest, this was good when it was released but it quickly became cheesy & stupid, but u know what? Its better than EVERYTHING these days.
