Kanye West's new 2018 album

only when he formally declares that George W. Bush cares about black people will the cycle be complete

Plus a follow-up tweet about meeting with Peter Thiel...

"that was some weird shit" - george w. bush, again

His internal struggle with white acceptance is a common theme in his music and life, is it not? Looking at this through a MAGA-world lens, it's not surprising that it reads as more in your face, pro-white supremacy in this context.

no no matter what you say i will not admit that kanye has been like this all along and the context has merely shifted!!!!

xxxxxp

i mean i think it's just his 'i'm next to a rapper pose' (which is also y'know suspect)

also don't think widely recognised is the right term for something only recognised by very online people

That's cool. Hope you vote blue!

ok!

Pretty big space between 'hopes and prayers' and diagnosing him as 'bipolar' tbh, but ymmv

i mean i think it's just his 'i'm next to a rapper pose' (which is also y'know suspect)

Elroy Cohen has been standing next to rappers (and helping them get paid by white ppl) since Chance was minus nine years old

My hope for him and his family is that he gets treatment. And flappy bird otm. And the space isn’t big at all if you’ve ever cared about someone with it.

i get this, i guess i am often very uncomfortable with the way people casually talk about other people's mental health online (and irl) but have a hard time expressing why

Kanye is cancelled

maga hat is a bad look even if you are being a contrarian asshole

lyor cohen's probably one of the top 5 most important ppl in the history of the rap biz

no to mention on the red hatters responding to his stupid tweets , like those fucking assholes were so fucking thirsty for this kind of validation and there it is xp

because it's often just an excuse to shit on people, it's often just concern trolling

sorry, don't mean to put words in your mouth. those are just my dumb social media mediated thoughts

Kanye West does not care about black people

i mean that’s def part of it brimstead

A piece on the hand signal. I always looks at it as this bit of trolling that backfired because it started as “we're gonna troll the left into thinking this non-racist thing is racist” which led to it effectively becoming a racist signal after photos of noted white supremacists doing it.

otm

With all those production credits coming up, wonder if anyone will distance themselves (Nas et al).

gotta say though lmao @ all the #MAGA idiots whining about the media "suddenly" attacking Kanye for this as though his bizarre and erratic opinions haven't been a talking point for a decade now

Aren't those maga idiots the same people that told Lebron to shut up and dribble ?

Xpost Yeah the “Bill Cosby innocent!” thing isn’t that long ago.

We've arrived at the shithead singularity

sad, but not surprising, to see all this

important point of distinction: the alt right internet anime nazis have always been OK with kanye, it's the republican white soccer mom contingent that really hates him

I wasn't aware that kanye was hated by any particular group, he's always seemed broadly popular to me

he is not

or at least he hasn't been for a long time

every album since Late Registration has been less popular than the one before it

Kayne going full MAGA is a good example of what living in Calabasas will do to a person.

he's always seemed broadly popular to me

really? people love to hate Kanye

he's not like idk Bruno mars or whoever who is "broadly popular"

kanye is the opposite of broadly popular among non-internet music geeks

So yeah I’ll admit it seems silly to think that Lyon Cohen has been red pilled but ... wait is that a silly thought tho? I’ve heard terrifying things about Dude

every album since Late Registration has been less popular than the one before it

And yeah Kanye has produced extremely polarized opinions since the start of his career.

hmmm by popular I guess I meant respected; I'm under the impression that he is seen by most as a serious artist (if, obviously, a huge jackass). I haven't really met anyone in the last 10 years, certainly not any normies, who dislike him

Twisted Fantasy?

sold 400,000 less than 808s

he's "respected" by millenials who don't know any better and ilxors with bad taste

Kayne going full MAGA is a good example of what living in Calabasas will do to a person.

I keep thinking this too -- from "No More Parties in L.A." on.

Now Kim's on twitter talking about him no longer being in the sunken place. Unplug the internet for the night, plz.

lol 'dragon energy'

Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that’s why I love him and respect him and in a few years when someone else says the same exact thing but they aren’t labeled the way he is and you will all praise them! Kanye is years ahead of his time

I think I’ve figured out why Kanye and Jay aren’t friends anymore

heavy heavy denial going on in the ye subreddit today

Lmao Jack Posobiec is now the top rated comment on most of his recent tweets, great work Yeezy
