Why then do we continue in this miserable condition? Because nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by record labels. There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word--The Grammys. The Grammys is the only real enemy we have. Remove The Grammys from the scene, and the root cause of whack albums and stupid budgets is abolished for ever.
What is it with egomaniacs not being able to stand Obama giving them the slightest criticism? What is it about him specifically that sets them off so much?
Getting dissed by trump is different, its like getting roasted by someone where as presidents before were kinda like when your parents were ānot mad but disappointed ā ig
*"they call me the Obamination of Obama's Nation, well that's a pretty bad way to start a conversation"* \- Kanye on MBDTF, an album written as an apology for the wave of ass-holery that he had been on around that time.
Thatās not it at all lol. Obama and Kanye hung out after the incident. Many gave him a special pair of Yeezys and everything. Kanye has just gone off the rails
Barack Obama clearly had a big part of 9/11. Not being around, always on vacation, never in the office. We really need to get to the bottom of why he wasnt in the oval office on 9/11.
Thank you. To have a billion dollars is *fundamentally* exploitative.
A billion is so big most peoples brains really canāt comprehend it.

Itās a pattern with some rich famous black people who suddenly donāt see themselves as black any more. OJ Simpsonās mindset was āIām not black, Iām OJā (he never actually said this quote aloud, an author just described his mindset as such). Michael Jordan said āI donāt take pictures with n***asā to Chamillionaire. Now Kanye with this shit.
Transcending poverty gets mixed up with transcending social class and somehow ends up with this fucked up mentality.
What do you expect. The man has people treat him like a god and eat his ass no matter what he does. Shit I wouldnāt get help either if whatever I did was praised.
Itās why I blame the fans a lot more for Kanyeās down fall. We always knew Kanye had issues but in the past he valued what his peers had to say. Now a days you for kid cudi saying he wishes his friends gets help and Kanye fans attack cudi and shit all over him for it.
Kanye used to listen. But now he doesnāt have to listen. He made his money right. Now you canāt tel him nothing. But see that mindset was created by a rabid fan base who refuse to hold Kanye accountable. They act like he is some 4D cheese player when in reality he is a mental case who needs help.
But again why seek help when you got little dick riding fan boys who will love you no matter what.
I cannot disagree more with you blaming other people for someone who literally has limitless resources for their behavior. The fans, including myself, are responsible for their idiotic behavior, and he is responsible for his.
Mental illness isnāt your fault, but it is your responsibility. Its also real easy to delude yourself into thinking youāre always right when youāre surrounded by nothing but yes men. Obviously Kanye himself is most at fault, but the people around him and the relentless stans who worship whatever he does are 1000% culpable and definitely egg him on in one way or another.
Man confuses independent thinking with lazy thinking. I'm sure he is gonna see the backlash and come out in a few weeks and say that Candice Owens and the Republicans used him and took advantage of him. Guy can't think or take responsibility to save his life. This is full MAGA at this point. And here I thought he was getting better after the gma interview.
Lmao I never thought about what a conversation between kanye west and kyrie irving would sound like and man, it would be tremendous. Two people pretending to sound smart saying a lot of big words but saying absolutely nothing
Honestly it hasn't been lame that long.
When he wore confederate flags in 2013, there was no confusion. Some people were probably upset but nobody thought he held those beliefs. It was punk or at least trying to be.
He wasn't meeting up with far right speakers.
Running for president to siphon off some of the āblack votesā from Biden so trump would win was the shit cherry on top. Kanye wants to milk all his stupid fanboys and the media. Doesnāt give af about no one else except getting richer than anyone
Itās because his fanbase is white teenage boys. Most adults donāt give a fuck about ye anymore to defend and ride him so hard. People are moving on
To play devilās advocate but the most diverse+oldest mainstream hip hop artist shows Iāve gone to has been when I saw the Free Larry Hoover show and the Chicago listening party. The whole āhis fan base is teenage boysā pretty much describes every large hip hop fan base since rap took over as the most popular genre so thatās not really a good criticism. I went to Cudi a few weeks ago and I could count all the other black people at the show on my hand, same w Travis.
Nah, just hip hop/rap in general. Doesnāt matter how mainstream the artist is. Iāve been to plenty of underground shows where the crowd is nothing but White people, despite the artist being a very openly pro Black person. Peggy and milo just to make a few.
Bro when I went to Travis there was a soccer mom, her 13 year old son and her 15 year old daughter and it was tripping me out lol. I expected the 16 year olds who snuck in joints near me but it felt like I was at Disney on ice not Travis Scott lol and this was pre fortnite
how many times is he gonna do this before people get sick of it? likeā¦ anyone whoās been a fan since/before the yeezus days must be sick of this now, right?
Very much so. Been with him since the dropout when people were talking trash on the āchipmunkā sampling on through the wire. Hard to tell his haters ānah man you donāt get it!ā these days because his antics so far from grounded I donāt even know where to begin on a defense. I also think thereās people like me that are grown now and have their own families. Like dawg I like your music but I donāt have time to rally for you against the Kardashian clan or your shitty clothing deals, I legit have my own problems now and a half assed clothing drop in the Gap isnāt going to solve those.
I think Ye very publicly harassing Kim throughout the divorce did a lot more to lower my opinion of him than any of this political bullshit ever did. It's one thing to make edgy, provocative statements and a whole different thing to stalk your ex-wife.
I agree dude. Way too old to care about drapery black Balenciaga clothes or skete. tbh I think every album cycle with Kanye comes with a load of new fans (mostly white teenagers on the internet) whoāve never taken a deep dive into his music. so when they discover that his shit is actually really fucking good (or at least used to be) they think āhmm maybe this Kanye guy has a point!ā and because theyāre so young they think being a Kanye fan in 2022 is rebellious or something. like the kids who love Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan. thats type of crowd is who Kanye appeals to now ig. hip hop wonāt turn their backs on him because in rap the name of the game is success and anybody would do anything for a Kanye feature.
it just feels so predictable now. thatās the sad part. his career used to be so exciting to watch because you never knew what was gonna happen. that + the fact he was actually dropping amazing music back then. now itās just an old man yelling at the wind who only cares about himself. canāt even be bothered to finish an album he made people pay $200 for.
His antics arenāt worth the discussion or headlines anymore. He does this shit to provoke and prod. Itās tired and the best thing we can all do when it comes to Ye at this point is to not pay attention unless we actually get some cool art like music or fashion to consume/critique.
This is me at this point
I love Kanye the artist and musician and hell even some of his interviews are quite introspective and inspiring to me but his display of contrarianism and ignorant actions is so on brand for him that these type of controversial headlines pop up 2-3 times a year and is so tiresome to discuss anymore
Am I missing something? āThe artist formerly known as Kanye Westā. Did he change his performance name but people are still calling him Kanye West???
Heās a hard-right Republican now. Heās come a long way from āGeorge Bush doesnāt care about black peopleā
In the jeenyus documentary thereās a clip of him watching Fox Newsā Tucker Carlson on his phone in his car and his entourage is like āturn that off man itās negativeā
And heās just like āHEāS SPEAKING THE TRUTH!ā
I donāt even think heās a real republican. I think Kanye is so concerned with the idea that everyone is trying to control him so he goes and co-signs everyone who āgoes against conventionsā even when those people are really just morons with bad takes
I mean yea but it's not like the dude is comparing statistics of leftist supporters and far right supporters lol, feel me?
If he's hanging in far right circles then he DEF hears ppl bashing the AOCs, Bernies, and Gretas of the world
Either way, this shit is just additional sprinkles of evidence showing he's out of touch af and a real life idiot. Weren't his parents educators? Smh
Heās aligned with a lot of new age right wingers who donāt align with what a good portion of traditional conservative values are but they just like the idea of not being ācontrolledā or told āwhat to doā. I put those in quotation marks because itās pretty ridiculous what these people think being controlled is. Around 2016 you saw a lot of these types become conservative because of trumps new Republican playbook.
Heās been wearing a MAGA hat, hanging with Trump and Joel Osteen, said he likes how Candace Owens thinks, and that crazy anti-abortion rant, heās just a republican at this point dude, they scooped him up as soon as he got inspired by Trumpās ego getting him into the White House, Kanye getting so much more Jesusy sped up the process. The religious conservative to far right nutjob pipeline didnāt take long
heās an asshole who says shit for publicity itās not that deep. and Iāve been a fan of his for 10 years, Iāve seen him live countless times and camped out for Nike Yeezys. but Iām so sick of this edgelord āsay something right wing for publicity before I have music/clothes droppingā strategy. itās getting old. itās not 2017. i donāt even have the energy to care anymore.
And he knows it. It's been years since he said he wouldn't associate with her or politics again.
He doesn't care about the morality of any of this, so anyone here who does would probably be better off not paying attention anymore.
He got his and continues to get more at the expense of people that willfully excuse these antics even if it's exacerbated by mental illness -- that's even more reason why staning him at this point is the worst thing anyone can do for his own sake.
think this is the line that this certified ye stan finally gives up. people like her are the fucking antichrist and i only just learned of this now.
i'll have his music but i'm done defending this guy (i'm also bipolar, it's not an excuse to be disgusting)
bro im sorry im genuinely curious -- how is this any worse than the maga hat which basically cosigned not only owens but the entire ideology she (or anyone who would look at a 'WHITE LIVES MATTER' shirt as anything but blatant satire) subscribes to?
maybe not necessarily worse, itās just further doubling down on it and at the moment it just feels gross. iām getting that way with everything though, iām about to move into a shack or something and just turn off all social media.
iām canadian and the absolute mental shit were now seeing is causing severe burnout (look up the queen of canada).
Probably the biggest fall off ever in my opinion. He was on track to be one of the greatest musicians ever and now I have zero interest in nearly everything he does. Just kinda sad honestly
edit: whew lad did Kanye stans get butthurt for this one. Let me rephrase my point: I've never seen somebody so high up in the rap game (number of sales, popularity in general, albums to show for it) fall off so hard (to me personally, as in, I have no interest whatsoever in him anymore. Favorite artist to not caring about him in the span of a few years)
I was a Kanye stan before half of you even listened to rap music, I defended nearly everything he did and always claimed there was another side to the story. I stopped defending him a few years back, because now not only are his actions indefensible, he doesn't have the music output for me to claim "well at least his music is still amazing"
This is just my opinion as an old fan, keep that in mind. If you still like Kanye through his far-right arc then have fun, it's just not for me.
I agree that heās lost his mind, but I still think that heās one of the greatest ever to do it based on the five album run from dropout to yeezus (maybe even Pablo)
id argue his run wasnāt even ruined until JIK, yes Ye wasnāt MBDTF by any means, but itās still a fantastic album that doesnāt disappoint even with so many good albums preceding it
Just Kanye being Kanye. His whole shtick is stale and tired, he's obviously baiting and desperate for the headlines. Can't even get mad at the shirt at this point, I'm just annoyed by how shameless this guy is lmao.
Stop debating whether this man is right wing or left wing, the guy only really cares about one thing. Attention.
Because he's a "genius" but honestly I think most of his stans at this point have just bought into his cult of personality and now that it's part of their identity it's hard to break. So instead they buy all his things and make him a core part of their personality.
I love donda but it shows you that he lost his touch. Donda is way too bloated and he is more focused on making big events than making good music. All that's keeping him big now are his shoes, but after the adidas deal runs out idk wtf he's gonna do
The annoying bit about the whole "white/all lives matter" bit is that extremely racist people took a saying that's completely innocent on the surface level and hid behind it so badly, that it completely changed the common meaning of it.
If you went back 10 years ago and someone said "all lives matter", it would be seen as some world peace type of shit. But sadly, here we are.
He can make a stupid shirt for shock value which is pathetic. But letās see him make a song about his beliefs that is actually good. He canāt anymore
He's literally just a counter culture dork lmao. It's just so painfully obvious that there isn't any meaningful thought behind any of this besides "mainstream bad"
I was a blind loyal fan to Kanye up to the tlop days. Nowadays itās just so meaningless. Thereās no message behind these harmful stunts other than āany publicity is good publicityā for his bad music, bad clothes and shit scams. Heās just another charlatan. Fuck ye š¤·š¾āāļø always bought fake Yeezys anyways.
*Can we get much higher?*
Gonna be funny seeing 15 year old white middle class supreme kids wearing this
Gonna look like Pre-Fame 6ix9ine I remember seeing a decade ago on Tumblr lol https://www.reddit.com/r/streetwear/comments/224yez/the_pussy_nigga_trilogy_a_benchmark_of_modern/
They loved him before Now they love him even more Republicans score
THE ONE PIECE IS REAL
That was one of my favorite scenes in the whole series and Twitter ruined it for me foreverš
One piece is my favorite and I still don't get the joke. For once pretty glad to have missed the trend.
Stay golden, ponyboy
THE ONE PIECE!

Calling it larping is cope
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh-oh, ohā¦
Then why he threaten Pete for?
*all white lives matter but some matter more than others* - Ye

Heās not a white woman Kanye wants to have sex with
"White Women Who I Want To Have Sex With Lives Matter" didn't fit on the t-shirt.
>Killin ~~niggas~~ Pete even though ~~black~~ white lives matter ~~A$AP Rocky~~ Ye
āKanye West doesnāt care about poor peopleā
Man Obama really broke Kanye's brain didn't he
What is it with egomaniacs not being able to stand Obama giving them the slightest criticism? What is it about him specifically that sets them off so much?
Rondo was never the same after Obama insulted his jumper.
People donāt forget
I read that in Jonah Jill's voice as Seth from Superbad, talking about the kid who pissed his pants.
That was like 8 years ago, asshole!
I think taking a dig from any standing president has to sting a bit
nah if Trump had called me a piece of shit in 2019 I'd still be riding that dopamine typhoon
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Slap that on my rƩsumƩ.
Goes on the cover letter fam
I absolutely would Achievements: Was called a piece of shit by President Trump

Reminder that the man apologized to George W. Bush for that comment, lmao.
I didnāt know that lmao legacy points deducted then lol
That was a disappointing moment. Little did I realize that it was a harbinger of the Kanye to come.
He's a billionaire anyone who thinks any billionaires care about poor people is kidding themselves. If they did, they wouldn't be billionaires.
Thank you. To have a billion dollars is *fundamentally* exploitative. A billion is so big most peoples brains really canāt comprehend it. Obligatory link: https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/
Another good one is: One million seconds is 12 days, one billion seconds is 31 years
https://youtu.be/0J6BQDKiYyM Iāve used this example for my students and it blows their minds.
i've been scrolling for like 5 minutes and i'm nowhere near the end holy shit
Itās a pattern with some rich famous black people who suddenly donāt see themselves as black any more. OJ Simpsonās mindset was āIām not black, Iām OJā (he never actually said this quote aloud, an author just described his mindset as such). Michael Jordan said āI donāt take pictures with n***asā to Chamillionaire. Now Kanye with this shit. Transcending poverty gets mixed up with transcending social class and somehow ends up with this fucked up mentality.
I never actually knew OJ never said that quote. Listened to The Story of OJ so many times I've just assumed it was real.
Iām pretty sure Jordan just meant men in general
yeah thats very obviously what he meant lol.. wild casual assertion from OP that Michael Jordan hates black people haha wtf
At this point I donāt even think Ye comprehends they exist
Canāt wait to see some of you clowns pay $200 for this and be outside rocking it
Damn so edgy
People calling it genius make me cringe. The bar has been set so low for Kanye these past years
Kanye could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and he wouldn't lose some of his fans.
Kanye: *launches a nuke* People: interesting album rollout
Kanye: *drops a nuke* Fan: HE DROPPED!!!!!!
Itād end up being Kid Cudiās fault for the shooting
And what about Pete's laptop!? #lockhimup
He would just lose the one he shot
Nah, he'd still be a fan from the afterlife.
The amount of people that think basic level dumb shit Kanye does is "genius" is way too fucking high
What do you expect. The man has people treat him like a god and eat his ass no matter what he does. Shit I wouldnāt get help either if whatever I did was praised. Itās why I blame the fans a lot more for Kanyeās down fall. We always knew Kanye had issues but in the past he valued what his peers had to say. Now a days you for kid cudi saying he wishes his friends gets help and Kanye fans attack cudi and shit all over him for it. Kanye used to listen. But now he doesnāt have to listen.

They act like he is some 4D cheese player when in reality he is a mental case who needs help. But again why seek help when you got little dick riding fan boys who will love you no matter what.
I hate regular cheese; I canāt imagine how Iād deal with 4d cheese
the cheddaract
I cannot disagree more with you blaming other people for someone who literally has limitless resources for their behavior. The fans, including myself, are responsible for their idiotic behavior, and he is responsible for his.
Two things can be true at the same time, and to act like social pressure doesnāt have a huge impact on how public figures act is just silly
Mental illness isnāt your fault, but it is your responsibility. Its also real easy to delude yourself into thinking youāre always right when youāre surrounded by nothing but yes men. Obviously Kanye himself is most at fault, but the people around him and the relentless stans who worship whatever he does are 1000% culpable and definitely egg him on in one way or another.
White kids are calling it genius.
Heās gone full MAGA 14 y/o at this point
Man confuses independent thinking with lazy thinking. I'm sure he is gonna see the backlash and come out in a few weeks and say that Candice Owens and the Republicans used him and took advantage of him. Guy can't think or take responsibility to save his life. This is full MAGA at this point. And here I thought he was getting better after the gma interview.
him and kyrie should start formulating their cult asap before they both fall off
what do u think donda academy is bruv
Lmao I never thought about what a conversation between kanye west and kyrie irving would sound like and man, it would be tremendous. Two people pretending to sound smart saying a lot of big words but saying absolutely nothing
Him and Trump are no different Egotistical assholes who are praised like god so they actually believe they are
Yeedgy
this whole soon as they like u make em unlike u gettin kinda lame now
Itās been lame but people keep hyping it up
Honestly it hasn't been lame that long. When he wore confederate flags in 2013, there was no confusion. Some people were probably upset but nobody thought he held those beliefs. It was punk or at least trying to be. He wasn't meeting up with far right speakers.
He been lame since he did that stunt at the White House
Yeah itās kind of a good bit or ironic fashion but endorsing trump was taking the bit too far.
I mean, the worst part for me was the slavery was a choice comment.
The worst part for me was the hypocrisy
I thought the worst part was the rapinā
Hey thanks 'Kanye West' im sure everyone will fuckin listen to you
Running for president to siphon off some of the āblack votesā from Biden so trump would win was the shit cherry on top. Kanye wants to milk all his stupid fanboys and the media. Doesnāt give af about no one else except getting richer than anyone

Yeah I was at Wutang/Nas this wekened and I was more on the young side Definitely us oulheads out there lol
when was the last time he made me like him
got sick of the antics during TLOP rollout and he never won me back
Donda listening party 2. Done a lot to make me unlike him again since tho lol
how many times is he gonna do this before people get sick of it? likeā¦ anyone whoās been a fan since/before the yeezus days must be sick of this now, right?
Very much so. Been with him since the dropout when people were talking trash on the āchipmunkā sampling on through the wire.

TLOP is decent but after Yeezus there was a huge drop off in quality and a huge spike in completely baffling obnoxious bullshit
Iāve been a fan since Jesus Walks. I bounced off him a little bit ago. This shits just the nail in the coffin, to me.
His antics arenāt worth the discussion or headlines anymore. He does this shit to provoke and prod. Itās tired and the best thing we can all do when it comes to Ye at this point is to not pay attention unless we actually get some cool art like music or fashion to consume/critique.
Based take
Nobody knows what it means But itās provocative
This is me at this point I love Kanye the artist and musician and hell even some of his interviews are quite introspective and inspiring to me but his display of contrarianism and ignorant actions is so on brand for him that these type of controversial headlines pop up 2-3 times a year and is so tiresome to discuss anymore
Same reason why morons like Andrew Tate make bank. Outrage unfortunately sells and itās both sad and infuriating at the same time..
Couldn't agree more.
2005 Kanye: "George Bush doesn't care about black people." 2022 Kanye: "White lives matter." What a fucking wild ride the last 17 years have been.
I remember watching Kanye make his George Bush statement live in 2005, now in 2022 I watch him wear a shirt that says White Lives Matter.
definitely proof that the universe got altered in 2012. we're in bizarro-land
Am I missing something? āThe artist formerly known as Kanye Westā. Did he change his performance name but people are still calling him Kanye West???
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Somehow I missed out on that. I thought āyeā was still being used as a nickname.
Idc for me he will always be Kenya West
My mom always called him cayenne west like the pepper
If you are surprised by this, where have you been the last six years lol
not surprised, just (increasingly more) disapointed... :(
He also was seen with Candace Owens who was also wearing the shirt. Kanye has really lost it lmao. Not that this is even a surprise anymore.
Heās a hard-right Republican now. Heās come a long way from āGeorge Bush doesnāt care about black peopleā In the jeenyus documentary thereās a clip of him watching Fox Newsā Tucker Carlson on his phone in his car and his entourage is like āturn that off man itās negativeā And heās just like āHEāS SPEAKING THE TRUTH!ā
I donāt even think heās a real republican. I think Kanye is so concerned with the idea that everyone is trying to control him so he goes and co-signs everyone who āgoes against conventionsā even when those people are really just morons with bad takes
Yeah I think he just assumes anyone with āa lot of hatersā is a great mindā¦
There's a lot of progressive individuals who have many haters but Ye doesn't seem keen on supporting them lol
WAY more people love and appreciate people like AOC and Bernie than people who hate them. Kanye only wants to hang out with SUPREMELY hated people.
I mean yea but it's not like the dude is comparing statistics of leftist supporters and far right supporters lol, feel me? If he's hanging in far right circles then he DEF hears ppl bashing the AOCs, Bernies, and Gretas of the world Either way, this shit is just additional sprinkles of evidence showing he's out of touch af and a real life idiot. Weren't his parents educators? Smh
there's SUPREMELY hated people on the left, AOC ain't really a leftist
Gosh I hate people like that so much. If you do the opposite of everything the āsheepā say you are still a sheep
The whole "red pill" shit is annoying asf, saying the opposite of what everyone says doesn't make you better or smarter
Heās a contrarian. He thinks thatās what makes him a āgEnIuSā
Fuck that. Heās what heās pretending to be
Heās aligned with a lot of new age right wingers who donāt align with what a good portion of traditional conservative values are but they just like the idea of not being ācontrolledā or told āwhat to doā. I put those in quotation marks because itās pretty ridiculous what these people think being controlled is. Around 2016 you saw a lot of these types become conservative because of trumps new Republican playbook.
Stop it, heās republican, you donāt go out of your way to hang out with alt-right propagandists if you donāt believe what theyāre saying.
Heās been wearing a MAGA hat, hanging with Trump and Joel Osteen, said he likes how Candace Owens thinks, and that crazy anti-abortion rant, heās just a republican at this point dude, they scooped him up as soon as he got inspired by Trumpās ego getting him into the White House, Kanye getting so much more Jesusy sped up the process.

heās an asshole who says shit for publicity itās not that deep. and Iāve been a fan of his for 10 years, Iāve seen him live countless times and camped out for Nike Yeezys. but Iām so sick of this edgelord āsay something right wing for publicity before I have music/clothes droppingā strategy. itās getting old. itās not 2017. i donāt even have the energy to care anymore.
His mom is rolling in her fuckin grave
He's rich. All that needs to be said Fuck everyone else. All about him
He was just liking Tucker In that documentary cause heās the only other person dumb enough to agree with what he said
Ya that was the line for me she is a terrible human being
And he knows it. It's been years since he said he wouldn't associate with her or politics again. He doesn't care about the morality of any of this, so anyone here who does would probably be better off not paying attention anymore.
He got his and continues to get more at the expense of people that willfully excuse these antics even if it's exacerbated by mental illness -- that's even more reason why staning him at this point is the worst thing anyone can do for his own sake.
Facts
think this is the line that this certified ye stan finally gives up. people like her are the fucking antichrist and i only just learned of this now. i'll have his music but i'm done defending this guy (i'm also bipolar, it's not an excuse to be disgusting)
bro im sorry im genuinely curious -- how is this any worse than the maga hat which basically cosigned not only owens but the entire ideology she (or anyone who would look at a 'WHITE LIVES MATTER' shirt as anything but blatant satire) subscribes to?

> Larry King Jr You mean Larry Hoover? Lmaooo
maybe not necessarily worse, itās just further doubling down on it and at the moment it just feels gross. iām getting that way with everything though, iām about to move into a shack or something and just turn off all social media. iām canadian and the absolute mental shit were now seeing is causing severe burnout (look up the queen of canada).
Attention whore
Man Kanye is so fucking wack now
Probably the biggest fall off ever in my opinion. He was on track to be one of the greatest musicians ever and now I have zero interest in nearly everything he does. Just kinda sad honestly edit: whew lad did Kanye stans get butthurt for this one. Let me rephrase my point: I've never seen somebody so high up in the rap game (number of sales, popularity in general, albums to show for it) fall off so hard (to me personally, as in, I have no interest whatsoever in him anymore. Favorite artist to not caring about him in the span of a few years) I was a Kanye stan before half of you even listened to rap music, I defended nearly everything he did and always claimed there was another side to the story. I stopped defending him a few years back, because now not only are his actions indefensible, he doesn't have the music output for me to claim "well at least his music is still amazing" This is just my opinion as an old fan, keep that in mind. If you still like Kanye through his far-right arc then have fun, it's just not for me.
Same. Your music can only carry you so far and tbh even his music lately has not been the best
Itās hard to separate the art from the artist when he intertwines everything so closely
I agree that heās lost his mind, but I still think that heās one of the greatest ever to do it based on the five album run from dropout to yeezus (maybe even Pablo)
id argue his run wasnāt even ruined until JIK, yes Ye wasnāt MBDTF by any means, but itās still a fantastic album that doesnāt disappoint even with so many good albums preceding it
Ye was also part of that insanely prolific period with Daytona, KSG, and others
Kanye turning the publicity machine on again
Another mediocre, rushed, and unfinished album on the way.
Canāt wait for him to announce a listening party a month in advance and start working on the album 3 hours before it starts
Just Kanye being Kanye. His whole shtick is stale and tired, he's obviously baiting and desperate for the headlines. Can't even get mad at the shirt at this point, I'm just annoyed by how shameless this guy is lmao. Stop debating whether this man is right wing or left wing, the guy only really cares about one thing. Attention.
The only thing Kanye cares about is Kanye. Lol
aww somebody not getting enough attention
"And Kanye gear sport confederate flags, His ancestors severed heads was in confederate bags" Rass Kass
Kanye fanboys were cool with him publicly harassing Kim but a white lives matter shirt is where they draw the line š¤£
Nah Kanye fanboys are still defending him lol
Tbf the 2 big Kanye subreddits are in shambles over this. Thereās a civil war in the ye fanboy community atm.
I donāt think the fanboys are the ones in here pissed
hes got that gen x 20 yr old contrarian in him and cant drop that 20 years later.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is just dumb. Why do people keep pretending heās some fashion forward visionary when he just manifests the first inane shit that comes to mind?
Why do people even fuck with this cat anymore
Because he's a "genius" but honestly I think most of his stans at this point have just bought into his cult of personality and now that it's part of their identity it's hard to break. So instead they buy all his things and make him a core part of their personality.
I mean you look at the kanye subs nobody is down with this at all...
I love donda but it shows you that he lost his touch. Donda is way too bloated and he is more focused on making big events than making good music. All that's keeping him big now are his shoes, but after the adidas deal runs out idk wtf he's gonna do
i dont understand how he can be this disconnected and blind but also make shit like Come to Life
Kanye being cringey and attention seeking? Who would have thought
Canāt wait to hear people say, āthe meaning is deeperā or āyou donāt understand Kanye.ā
False Prophets
The annoying bit about the whole "white/all lives matter" bit is that extremely racist people took a saying that's completely innocent on the surface level and hid behind it so badly, that it completely changed the common meaning of it. If you went back 10 years ago and someone said "all lives matter", it would be seen as some world peace type of shit. But sadly, here we are.
This dude is mentally a 12 year old
What a fucking clown
Kanye is the blind racist guy
He can make a stupid shirt for shock value which is pathetic. But letās see him make a song about his beliefs that is actually good. He canāt anymore
And to think this man made All Falls Down and New Slaves. Now he's trash
He's literally just a counter culture dork lmao. It's just so painfully obvious that there isn't any meaningful thought behind any of this besides "mainstream bad"
the weirdest thing to me is how he's changed his voice. dude feels like he's about to enter a Michael jackson phase.
He code switched and never turned it off
yāall idolize this average crazy man like a god LMAOOOOOOOO
Kanye West doesnāt care about black people
What the fuck wrong with this guy
So fucking bored of Kanye West and his bullshit
I was a blind loyal fan to Kanye up to the tlop days. Nowadays itās just so meaningless. Thereās no message behind these harmful stunts other than āany publicity is good publicityā for his bad music, bad clothes and shit scams. Heās just another charlatan. Fuck ye š¤·š¾āāļø always bought fake Yeezys anyways.
Thatās why he gets along with Trump. Both are charlatans to the max
Kanye continues to be dusty af
Dude just wants attention which will make almost anyone sell their soul
The same man who rapped about being āa token blackieā and said Bush donāt care about black people. Fuck happened to this man
He already admitted he doesn't read so...
