Whether I like AC/DC more than this guy should have no impact on anyone here. I just listened to my first 2 Kanye songs the whole way through and now know why I change him from the radio if he comes on.
This guy does stupid shit to create a media frenzy to sell albums. Is he stupid or brilliant would be my question. His disrespect for the entire music business is what I would call out first. I don't care who you are or if you've won 60 grammy's he proved himself the lowest form of Smagma with the Taylor Swift fiasco. I don't like her music either but she earned the award and he should have been banned from these awards for this move.
Ashok I disagree that people don't cover AC/DC because they are real artists and AC/DC isn't worth it. People don't try AC/DC, The Who, Rush or Pink Floyd to name a few because the energy created by these bands could never be "covered" Maybe I'm crazy but singing like Bon Scott would be almost impossible. This coupled with their "4 chords" as you state still gets me going when I hear it. Pink Floyd forget about it. These are bands that created their own sound. Kanye hasn't imho. He sounds too much like every other HipHop artist out there.
I like almost every type of music and do enjoy some of the hiphop artists out there but I won't any time soon be changing my ring back tone to Kanye West from the AC/DC "Ride On" it is today

Yo Guy's, I'm really happy for you, I'ma Let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time! Of All time!
I haven't listened to the album yet but will definately give it a try. I however do think he is a dbag, but I will try be open minded.

Listen to the lyrics of this song and tell me they're not beautiful. For those that aren't able to follow them.
