Or he could get help, but another thing I realized yesterday is that nobody rich & famous gets good medical care, unless they find themselves in a regular old hospital.
he could get some fentanyl tho, i hear that stuff's great

Twisted Fantasy?
sold 400,000 less than 808s

Not a good gauge as most everyone's sales have cratered since the late 2000s.

Is ILX really having an argument about whether Kanye West is popular?
― we æt so many shimripl (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 26 April 2018 14:02 (six years ago) link
Beyonce's only two top tens this decade as a lead artist are "Formation" and "Drunk in Love"; no one will deny she's "popular" in any sense.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 26 April 2018 14:05 (six years ago) link
I'd say Kanye West is more popular than CZARFACE but not as popular as Joey Bada$$
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 26 April 2018 14:12 (six years ago) link
But is he as popular as J Cole?
― MarkoP, Thursday, 26 April 2018 15:06 (six years ago) link
probably not.
Cole kinda cannibalized the audience who missed the old Kanye, the chop-up-the-soul Kanye.

I mean, he was going into a meeting with the head of Universal and the head of YouTube programming, presumably to talk about his upcoming releases, and I can imagine him thinking "What can I do to demonstrate the attention I can get at any moment? What if I get Donald Trump to retweet me while I'm in the meeting?"
It's like when DJ Kahled put out on Snapchat the address of CAA when he was going to meet with them, to demonstrate how he could a mass of people to show up for him.

it's true, popular music is not as popular as it used to be!

but there were only 2 years between 808s and Twisted Fantasy, and the gap between 2008 and 2010 w/r/t the music industry doesn't seem as drastic as idk 2001 to 2003 or 2004 to 2007. but numbers don't lie

I can only go on the anecdotal examples of my friends and co-workers, who generally are only as racist to the extent all white people are racist, and I feel like they've all hated Kanye for like a decade now. Maybe it's a generational thing, it does feel like a lot of the breathless "Kanye can do no wrong" hypemanning that's been going on online for several years now up until recently has been driven by younger critics.

Something so irksome about seeing white people up in arms cause Chance said black people don't have to be democrats, even in the context of Kanye's bullshit.
He didn't have to apologise because of timing or whatever shit, he had to apologise because the same paternalism that drives that line of thinking, is of the same kind that gives white racists more power over the things that come out of black mouths, than black people.

Lyrics to the other song:
I know Obama was Heaven-sentBut ever since Trump won it proved that I could be President
Yeah you can, at what cost though?Don't that go against the teachings that Ye taught for?
Yo T.I.P, I hear your side and everybody talk thoughBut ain't goin' against the grain everything I fought for?
Prolly so, Ye, but where you tryna go with this?It's some shit you don't align with and don't go against
You just readin' the headlines, you don't see the fine printYou on some choosin'-side shit, I'm on some unified shit
It's bigger than your selfish agendaIf your election ain't gon' stop police from murderin' niggas
Bruh, I never ever stopped fightin' for the peopleActually wearin' the hat'll show people that we're equal
You gotta see the finer point of the peopleWhat makes you feel equal makes them feel evil
See that's the problem with this damn nationAll Blacks gotta be Democrats, man, we ain't made it off the plantation
Fuck what you choose as your political partyYou representin' dudes who seem crude and cold-heartedWith blatant disregard for the people who put you niggas inSo don't you feel an obligation to them?
I feel an obligation to show people new ideasAnd if you wanna hear 'em, here go two right hereMake America Great Again, had a negative receptionI took it, wore it, rocked it, gave it a new directionAdded empathy, care and love and affectionAnd y'all simply questionin' my methods
What you willin' to lose for the point to be proved?This is stubborn selfish bullshit, even for youYou wore a dusty ass hat to represent the same viewsAs white supremacy, man, we expect better from youAll them times you sounded crazy, we defended you, homieNow just be down and we depend on you, homieThat's why it's important to know what direction you're goin' now'Cause everything that you built can be destroyed and torn down
You think I ain't concerned about how I effect the past?I mean I had stayed in my closet about a year and a halfThen one day I was like, "Fuck it, I'ma do me"I was in the sunken place and then I found the new meNot worried 'bout some image that I gotta keep upLot of people agree with me, but they're too scared to speak up
The greater good of the people is firstHave you considered all the damage and the people you hurt?You had a bad idea, and you're makin' it worseShit's just as bad as Catholic preachers rapin' in church
Y'all been leadin' with hateI just be approaching it differentLike a gang truceI know everybody emotionalIs it better if I rap about crack? Huh? 'Cause it's cultural?Or how about I'ma shoot you, or fuck your bitch?Or how about this gucci, because I'm fuckin' rich
?Dear to god? for the lack of respectStarted to make a scene like Donny cut you a checkToyin' with hot lava, better be careful with thatWhat's it mean to gain the world if you ain't standin' for shit?
Okay I gotta say it, Ye, you sound high as a bitchYeah, genocide and slavery, we should just try and forgetAll that free thought shit find a better defenseBut if Ye's stuck in his way, he can leave it at that, Fuck it
Alright T.I.P., we could be rappin' about this all day, man, why don't we just cut the beat off and let the people talk?
