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— BUM CHILLUPS (@edsbs) April 23, 2018

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

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

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

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.
― Cousin Slappy, Wednesday, 25 April 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link
no no matter what you say i will not admit that kanye has been like this all along and the context has merely shifted!!!!

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

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
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:17 (five years ago) link
maybe he was just inspired by/following the example of our current rectal polyp of a president
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:20 (five years ago) link
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.
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:22 (five years ago) link
he has a lot in common with Trump
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:24 (five years ago) link
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.

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!"
