They're the minority of people who listen to music critically or casually. He's one of the most popular and acclaimed music artists in history. Personal taste is one thing but it is tough to find anyone who has been more influential in the last decade.
In what ways has he been influential in the last decade?
I'm not trying to pick your argument apart - I genuinely don't see his influence in other artists' work. I'm open to changing my mind on that, but I'm unlikely to think he's less of a tit than I already do.
Half of the hip hop industry have purchased Kanye beats, been mentored by Kanye in some form or another, or partnered up with him (a la Jay Z) to produce acclaimed albums
