Kanye West's new 2018 album

I hope it's actually called 7 songs but is 5 tracks long

lmao he's posting videos from the Dilbert guy on Twitter

new album gonna be called "Late MAGAstration"

808s & Bad Takes

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Professor

Watch the Pee Tape

Iirc Kanye’s mother death and Cudi’s father death had a deep impact on them... maybe that’s what the title implies?

I secretly hope this album is actually good instead of being a piece of shit like Pablo was.

I hope it's called 5 Songs and has no songs.

I'm guessing the lyrics will be even more shit than usual, but I'm hoping for productions as insane as on Yeezus.

At this point I'm spending all my hope on the Nas album.

i like all his albums, looking forward to this

The last Nas album was good!

Kanye is kinda the Notary
Morrissey of rap, makes sense this is happening

Lol the Notary Morrissey

Kanye still hasn’t done anything lately that’s as bad as ruining “Father Stretch My Hands Pt 1” with the stupidest verse of his life

fuck kanye

he's such a ridiculous person.

Like, it's such a transparent ploy for mentally unstable celebrities these days: "I like trump now! Gimme attention!"

^^^

yeah and it still works, which sucks

7 songs and a june release date makes me think of Yeezus. i feel very good about this

DJTeezus

will kanye ever realize that he's not an individualist genius, he's a vector for his tastes with a knack for plainspoken interiority? (no)

I'm kinda excited for the Nas record, just to have him working with one producer

http://people.com/music/kanye-west-seems-on-edge-hard-to-deal/

:\

xp who's the producer?

Kanye

whaaat now I'm hyped too!

"Please never use the word erratic to describe a person who is economically and psychologically empowered"

he sure is on drugs :/

You really shouldn’t use the phrase “on drugs” to describe a person who is economically and psychologically empowered

he's bipolar

hey i'm pretty uncomfortable with the cavalier way people are diagnosing kanye in this thread!

but if someone knows something i don't then that's fine too, maybe i'm overreacting

What? Huge celebrity goes on stupid rambling Twitter rant and we're just supposed to send hopes and prayers?

ok i’m overreacting nm

lol kanye makes people say the dumbest shit i swear, mission accomplish ye

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

Hooboy.

oh, fucking hell

kanye fucking sucks incidentally

Here is a pic of him with a maga hat with some folks apparently throwing neonazi signs ... already seeing this image of his face as an avatar for far right twitter accounts

https://bit.ly/2r0F4fK

cocaine's a hell of a drug

He's always been like this though. This is Kanyeuniversity.com without ever having to pretend like he understands the proleteriat.

pretty sure the source of the speculation is at least as far back as the 5150 from two years ago

Always been chill with white supremacy ...?

Xpost

i don't think lyor cohen is doing a neonazi sign

i think lyor cohen is just lame

Wait that's Lyon Cohen .... my head hurts

Anyways the OK sign is widel recognized as an alt right thing but of course it's possible that this is not the reference, but its proximity to the maga hat ... idk, feels bad man

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...

Truly the most Kanye moment ever:

He donned the MAGA hat, met Trump at the WH, had other rappers insulting him online, and forced John Legend and Chance the Rapper into iPhone press releases

Nothing.

They put his name on some ill-designed sweaters and he disavowed within days

— Astead (@AsteadWesley) October 30, 2018

Trump put ye's name on sweaters?

yeah what prompted this

Tweet right before it:

I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.

— ye (@kanyewest) October 30, 2018

amazing, everyone loses

i think it also had something to do with the right wing violence this weekend because the tweet before that affirmed his support for asylum seekers.

what actually happened was he stabilized mentally. he wasn't himself in the oval office--his thoughts were shockingly disorganized.

...

Kanye being himself = acting like a fucking idiot

because that's who he is

cool

he's not the most articulate guy in the world but there's a difference between how he usually is and how he was that day

articulate eh

is "Imma let you finish" how he usually is or nah

yeah

he has trouble expressing himself in the moment and he sometimes makes self-deprecating jokes about it. it's not a crime. and it's also not the same thing as being in the throes of some kind of episode where you make wild connections no one can follow in front of news cameras

maybe he was just inspired by/following the example of our current rectal polyp of a president

i mean, there ins't a parallel there, i'm sorry. kanye's embrace of trump was always super idiosyncratic. he wasn't cynically leveraging racial animus in order to gain political power. he wasn't even attacking others.

he has a lot in common with Trump

obsessed with wealth and status, not particularly bright, overhyped, insecure, out of his depth etc

Trunp is one of the worst human beings on earth, he isn’t “an insecure,” “not too bright” guy who is “out of his depth” and suffers from bipolar disorder.

Kanye has the same flaws many of us do. Trump ix a monster.

what actually happened was he stabilized mentally.

treeship stop

the former is a value judgment, the latter is a set of characteristics - they are not mutually exclusive

xps

I left out that they're also both raging misogynists

he can't wind the clock back. before he could always be "george bush doesn't care about black people" kanye, whatever stupid shit he did, now he's eternally going to be "slavery was a choice" kanye, and no tweet is going to fix that

fwiw I'm not saying they're morally equivalent, just that there's a LOT of commonality there - plenty of subjects where both of them could look at the other and go "hey, that guy's just like ME!"

xp

Kanye is at least self-reflective at times and appears to have a sense of decency, compassion

that's true

Oi mates what is Blexit?

an astro-turfed movement to convince black people to leave the Democratic party

It’s over, man. Kanye’s a liberal. I let him back on 77.

ty xp

godspeed Yexit

Is he still running for President?

"Happy to meet his fans: Kanye poses with a well-wisher"
