Darn, the image didn't post. I don't really feel like opening photoshop to change it to a jpeg, so I guess you'll have to use your noggin' to imagine Kanye making an embarrassingly nerdy and almost nearly pretentious fashion statement. The images you'll find on Google search were nearly as bad anyway.

Rapper Kanye West does not read books or respect them but nevertheless he has written one that he would like you to buy and read.
...
His book is 52 pages — some blank, others with just a few words — and offers his optimistic philosophy on life. One two-page section reads, “Life is 5% what happens and 95% how you react!” Another page reads “I hate the word hate!”

“Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed,” West said. “I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph."
This guy should stop while he's (barely) ahead and try to pass this book off as a tribute to e.e. cummings or something.

It's kind of funny how the last few months Kanye's been earnestly admitting he needs to stop being an embarrassing logorrheic trainwreck all the time, but he's clearly incapable of being anything else.

okay I only watched a little bit of "Paranoid" but it was amazing how unsettling it was; the backstory behind Rihanna/Chris totally makes the video and really casts the song in an unsympathetic light
Sometimes I think Kanye is very, very lucky and sometimes I think he's smarter than everyone realizes.

Kanye kinds deserved this, though the piece itself could've been funnier:
"Whoever said life is an open book probably didn’t have any friends. Sure, he probably liked the people in his book. But did they like him? No. Why? Because they aren’t real."

KANYE THINKS PILOTPRIEST TRACK IS UNRELEASED DAFT PUNK
On January 28th, hip hop artist Kanye West’s blog posted an unreleased Daft Punk song called “The Crash” and offered it to fans for free download on kanyeuniversecity.com. In actuality, the song was not authored or performed by Daft Punk, but by Calamity Jane Recordings artist Pilotpriest, and its not called "the Crash," its called “Body Double.”
The song can be found on Pilotpriest’s Myspace page, and is the first song on the player. When Pilotpriest heard about Kanye’s post, he commented, “Really, really flattered, but this is just a Myspace rip or Sendspace hack of my track.” Likewise, Dani Deahl, co-owner of Calamity Jane Recordings says, “We love the comparison of our artist’s production to Daft Punk, but the claim simply isn’t true. The song was composed by, and belongs to Pilotpriest”.
The post by Kanye spurred rumors that Daft Punk produced the song for their upcoming project – scoring the remake of Tron. Several commenters on the blog assert it as fact and videos have appeared on youtube.com with combined hits of nearly 30,000 in three days. In the wake of the song’s popularity, Calamity Jane Recordings is rushing release of “Body Double” on iTunes.
Calamity Jane Recordings discovered Toronto-based Pilotpriest in 2007 through his bootleg of Run DMC’s “My Adidas”. Since then, Calamity Jane Recordings has worked with Pilotpriest supporting him in developing a sound that straddles the spectrum between the dance floor and more musical productions. The result has been a string of acclaimed remixes, including re-released Pilotpriest vs. Run DMC: “My Adidas”, a remix for American Idol’s Blake Lewis, and debut single “Zipper”.

During his show in London, Kanye West had to speak about a few things:
On Justin Timberlakes collaboration with Jay-Z:
During Kanye’s rant in London he said, “I got love for Hov, but I aint ****ing with that suit & tie.”
On Barack Obama:
“I don’t give a **** what the president got to say” – Kanye, during his rant.
On The Grammys:
According the Kanye, Grammy’s promised him he could open the show 4 years ago, then Gaga got hot and he was bumped. The rant goes on LOL
The grammys can suck my dick
I’ve never won a Grammy against a white person

for another thread but while NSBM is certainly a terrible thing, I believe it's a marginal aspect of the current, thriving black metal scene
that's accurate, the "nazi til proven otherwise" bit is really kinda silly
this is what i was saying. thank you. it's just as easy to do a google search and learn that it's not 1993 anymore and there are plenty of non-hateful blackmetal musicians.

let's just assume the nazi rapper is giving a hat tip to the nazi metaller instead of just being really into german romanticism but metal aesthetics in general still come off as fashy to a lot of people (even when there aren't gratuitous iron crosses and lightning bolts all over the place) and I'm not sure how many non-nazi metalheads actually get this

Far too often, you will strike nazi gold. If the band itself is not NS in some way, one of its members will have a NS side project, or they'll be on a label with NS affiliations...it's always fucking something.
dude, sure, we can 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon most anyone in metal/industrial/noise to someone in said genres or adjacent genres who is wretched and horrible. I have seen some serious attempts to "connect the dots" that are really a stretch.
That said, it's a very different dynamic with Kanye ...

Burzum, who've always been the BM band du jour for people outside of that subculture, they're the band on the Gummo soundtrack, they're beloved of nazi-sympathetic edgelords around the world.
wait really? I always thought Mayhem and/or Immortal were at least equally "du jour" ... also less-nazi, which definitely has a strong appeal to many people!
― sarahell, Saturday, 16 December 2023 20:15 (four months ago) link
at one time the nazism was a selling point for hipsters who were too addled by irony or obama to take anything seriously - burzum was definitely the first BM I heard of
those other bands are only *slightly* less nazi afaict

idk they're degrees of separation from varg like everyone from that generation and I raise my eyebrows at all the cold wind norsemen rising shit and gratuitous use of the word "holocaust"
but I've proven incapable of distinguishing irony and wilful edginess from fascist ideology in that genre, I'm not sure they can be separated since even non-nazi bands that play around with this shit help normalise it and give the fascists cover

There is certainly a sonic connection between Memphis rap, horrorcore, etc and NSBM— that someone like this guy would take those connections to their logical conclusions isn’t surprising , especially cuz he’s a total antisemite.

xp I am not sure he is even doing that, Whiney. The single is just offensive ranting over a mediocre trap beat. He is drawing on Burzum for the Nazi associations alone.
If he wanted to make a blackgaze record that would be cool.... ten years ago. Sort of picking up where Runaway left off, a more abstract, atmsopheric kind of album.
