Even at his worst, Kanye has never made a song as atrocious as "My Way." Dear god, that song is so horrible on every level (cheesy chords, stupid melodramatic production, the pathetically embarrassing lyrics, etc). Seriously, fuck that song.
Kanye's public persona might be a little grating for some people (I personally find him fun and entertaining, but I obviously get why someone would be annoyed with his antics). Still, there's no denying that his albums are fucking solid. Obviously Sinatra has his a certain historical significance, mainly just for becoming this kind of brand-name cultural icon for that generation, but if we're gonna talk about the quality of his actual songs, come on, he really isn't that good. I don't care if he lived for ten thousand years, he'd still never be able to put out an album as awesome as Late Registration or Graduation. I feel like this should be obvious to pretty much every person under 70.
In fact, what the hell do these two dudes even have to do with each other? This whole comparison is just weird.
