Kanye West

One of the wildest podcasts of all-time. This came out last night, further precipitating today’s events.

All I said was that it’s threatening.

Ye is the richest, most talented, most misunderstood mentally ill rapper on the planet in the 21st century. And it's not even close.

Some of you guys (and the Adidas execs) should cut the guy some slack.

This one big too. Aaron Donaldson and Jaylen Brown leaving Donda Sports…

 

[Red Dog]

That's a weird thing to love.

Anywho, I'm not one of those dudes who reflexively calls any kind of criticism bigotry - especially when the core points are never engaged. Just comes off sounding like Uncle Leo from Seinfeld.

Are you expecting people to good-faith argue that Jews aren’t evil??

Are you saying "Jews are evil" is a Kanye quote?

I work in a psychiatric ER and he comes off as someone who is ill and has a platform where his illness is put on full display. Not saying he isn’t a dirtbag but it’s been well documented he has bipolar disorder and it seems likely he’s unmedicated.

He’ll be back.

he hasn't put out anything worth a shit since Graduation

After this, I have to fix my own post for myself. FIFM:

Best music came after Graduation.

He’ll be back.

He not going anywhere. The pubs will parade him around with Herschel Walker etc

Time is fickle. Those who hate you today, will love you tomorrow when it suits their need. Billions of dollars affords anyone the luxury to be reborn.

He will be back.

I feel bad that he's mentally ill and that we have people that are entertained by his delusional musings. He has enablers that DGAF about his mental state and platforms that seek to amplify it.

Kind of the story of Western society writ large at the moment.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is considered his best album and I think by some as one of the best rap albums of all time.

Other than that album I agree though

808s is probably the most influential album of the last 25 years. TLOP, great. Yeezus, better. KSG, obviously good.

I really hate that we're at a post-capitalist stage where when one megacorp decides to stop serving a significant share of the market, other megacorps overwhelmingly high five each other & also jump in line to exclude that part of the market, rather than grab the competitive advantage of nabbing that business, like used to be common. Really says a lot about how the institutions are currently structured.

Not specific to Kanye, it's been a theme for a while now.
