As much as I do love hair metal, there are very few redeeming qualities about it from a musical standpoint (outside of technical abilities). It's often generic, pompous and shallow, something that doesn't typically endear it to a lot of people.

Hey now. I'd argue Kanye's a bit more unique and interesting than hair metal tends to be

Kanye makes up for being pompous by also being quite poignant.

Hey he's good, just pompous, shallow, and (sometimes at least) generic. Like I like some of his stuff but at his core, he is more than a little full of himself, and a lot of his music tends to reflect that.
