Kanye has far outclassed what the average genius in his field is capable of.

This is what usually turns me off of music debates. I love music, always have, play many instruments. I always think music debates will be interesting and exciting, but it seems too often that statement gets made and just makes the discussion/debate stupid.
Music is subjective, more so than almost anything on earth. And while many aspects of music are quantifiable in some ways, it just annoys the hell out of me that you almost always end up seeing "If you believe/don't believe X then you don't understand music", in every debate.
That's a checkout comment for me, every time. Music smugness, bleh!
