June 19, 201610 yr Could there possibly be a more pointless discussion? Only if you're somebody who has no interest in the past or future.
June 20, 201610 yr Move this post to the Controversial Topics if you must, but in 250 years, Kanye West will be the most recognizable name of the 2000s Why?
June 20, 201610 yr Why? Everyone has an opinion of Kanye. Obviously not eight billion people, but millions of people have bought his work, and just as many have negative views once you account for those buying his work looking for a reason to have a negative opinion. Add to that the TMZ "reports" detailing his transgressions that will last forever unless someone literally breaks the internet.

Add to that the TMZ "reports" detailing his transgressions that will last forever unless someone literally breaks the internet. I don't think his character flaws will lead to him being the most recognizable name of the 2000's. He's not anywhere close to the most recognizable right now, let alone 250 years from now. I would even say Taylor Swift is more recognizable than Kanye West.
June 20, 201610 yr This is an absolute truth IMO. Diabetes injections, dialysis and repair of broken bones will be nothing like today. I think in 200 years diabetes will be treated quickly and easily upon diagnosis. The need for Dialysis will be eliminated by the growth of new kidneys from stem cells. In many ways health care as we know it will not exist, it will be more about preventive treatment and early diagnosis with follow up treatment. DNA will be able to be searched for a variety of health issues and treatment will stop many maladies before they ever appear.

There's definitely a short list ahead of him. It's a shame we won't know the answer to this unless Kanye does something insane in the next 20 years.

It's a shame we won't know the answer to this unless Kanye does something insane in the next 20 years. I'm with you on Kanye. He's more innovative and ahead of his time than other top-selling acts. His contribution to music will be more well known in the future than his peers, especially since they won't have to listen to him talk about himself. :lol2:
June 20, 201610 yr Only if you're somebody who has no interest in the past or future.Huge history buff. As for what music is popular 150 years past when any of us are dead. No way anyone cares.
June 20, 201610 yr Huge history buff. As for what music is popular 150 years past when any of us are dead. No way anyone cares. Doesn't mean we can't pontificate. Besides, aren't the forums here to kill time at work?
June 25, 201610 yr As I sit at the Roadhouse having a chop and cold beer, I pray that the country music, or what they call country, is not around in 2 years much less 200. My goodness when did it get this bad? I don't listen to radio much. The Waylon I have on my iTunes will get extra play tomorrow. This is awful.
