    Well to be clear, Kanye’s recent music material output aside and awful public behaviour - his musical content is absolutely highly acclaimed historically by listeners and critics.

      if that’s a good enough reason for you, then that’s what it is. from my perspective, “listeners and critics” factor 0% into what i consider to be worth my time

        I don’t really like hip hop (generally), I was just noting the reputation if we’re observing general reputation. Whereas in music terms, something like Imagine Dragons (for example) simply doesn’t have that critical reputation.

          yea, i know. GoT is popular. and so far, the reasons i’ve seen people giving for it being popular is that “it’s popular”

            It’s also considered a very good adaptation, great writing, great acting etc (until end of S04, or end of S06 depending who you ask) in its own right. There’s a reason it did attain popularity in the first place.
