Is he right?

Yaya Toure has claimed that he does not get the recognition that he deserves because he is from Africa.

Toure is unhappy that he is not up with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo.

"If you go to any part of Africa now, people will say 'yes, we know him [Messi]', but when you come to Europe and say 'Yaya Toure' people will say 'who is that?' Some will say they know my name but not know my face. But they will know Messi's face."

Everybody wants to work with yeezy.

Yeezus probably his least commercial album ever

I can only assume you don't have a clue what you're on about.

I've listened to everything in hip hop virtually from paid in full right through the classic that dropped 20 years ago today illmatic, ready to die, life after death, the mmlp, the blueprint to some trash that tyga comes out with and kanye makes some of the best hip hop music of ever.

Commercial doesn't mean bad, at all. Go listen your unreleased copy of KRS one'a greatest hits catalogue and just remember that guy go tethered by the most commercial rapper in history nelly, and in one bar.

Nothing wrong with blowing up and having commercial success.
Kanye is a great producer, but his respect in the hip-hop world is long gone you can argue all you want.

He makes music people in suits click their fingers to and he ripped Ma$e's vocal style, he is wack along with Drake, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and all the rest of the current pop rappers...Like Nas said Hip-Hop is dead.

"I hope you realise that the Ronaldo playing at Madrid wasn't the only Ronaldo to have ever player football. I was of course referring to Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, aka, the original Ronaldo."

Does that make Rio Ferdinand not black? Ronaldo has black/portuguese decent

I gave it a swerve as soon as the thread drifted on to Hip Hop. The last thing I want is an ass in my cap.

If Yaya Toure says that Samuel Eto'o wasn't appreciated he may be right but the reason is not because he was African.
It's because he was playing in a Barcelona side with Messi on the other side of the attack,who was still young and not the player he is today.
The big factor was Ronaldinho in his prime,who was by far and away the best footballer in the world by a country mile.Like many Brazilians though he wasted his talent and became a playboy,a real shame as he really was that good and could have been the best player of all time.
After each Barcelona game they used to show 5-10 minutes of Ronaldinho's tricks and flicks,he was just sublime!

No he didn't.

Most under served poty award in history. Around the time Africa became a big deal in the press.

He didnt lead his team to anything significant and was truly average in terms of goal return.
