He's kind of right about all of it.
If Adele was black, no way she'd be this celebrated. And Taylor truly became America's innocent sweetheart on that night in 2009, so while I wouldn't say he made her famous (she was nominated for video of the year without him, so clearly she was fine), I think he definitely gave her that extra boost. And if anyone tries telling me the Grammys aren't racist... The Heist won over Good Kid m.a.a.d City...

And is this supposed to take away from her talent, which is highly regarded?

Adele's music and singing are overrated garbage and he's right about that one.

You say this as a Taylor stan?

You're right. He's Kanye West, & there's only going to be one of him.

I don't stan for Taylor Swift, but just praise Her half-jokingly. Even if I did, what's your point?

B) Kanye was being a goddamn asshole when he did that to Taylor, Taylor has every right to react to that incident the way she wants and use it in her advantage, I see every f@g on this forum praise the hell out of Kim K for 'being a fantastic businesswoman by turning her sextape into a business' so why shouldn't Taylor do the same?
C) The Grammys are racist I'll give you that
This man is a deluded **** and nothing more

No, I agree about that. Of course we should celebrate white artists too, 2/3 of my trinity is white for Christ's sake. The point is, there are tonnes of fantastic black female singers that don't find as much success as Adele, for a variety of reasons, but a lot of it has to do with the industry's - as well as wider societies - attitude towards race. Kanye didn't word it quite right, and I think Adele is absolutely fantastic and I'm a huge fan, but the point remains.
And yes, that's absolutely true, but Kanye is simply stating facts. He made her more famous and she should be thankful for the incident because it gave her more exposure. It's like when something bad happens in your life - say you got fired by your asshole boss and were unemployed for 6 months and struggling but then found a great job that paid you twice the amount and you love. You wouldn't love the asshole boss (Kanye) but you'd be thankful it happened. You see?

There's nothing wrong with auto tune if you're using it artistically. And that so auto tuned album birthed the careers of many acts such as Drake
